The first Methodist organization was at Sandy Plains, in the house of Henry Weeks. The church at Cairo was organized in Cairo in 1814, and these two churches were supplied by circuit riders who also preached at Leeds. Benjamin Hine deeded the lot on which the Cairo church was built in 1819, and this building, now occupied by the Schermerhorns as a feed store, is in good repair. The organizers of the church were Edward E. Stevens and Sally, his wife. The early records were lost. The present church has as its pastor the Rev. II. D. Chace, who also preaches at Round Top.
The Sandy Plains church was erected 1837, and since rebuilt.
The Presbyterian church was organized by the Rev. Beriah Ilotchkin in 1799, and had three members. The Rev. Richard Williams was the first pastor. The records were three times destroyed by fire. The Rev. A. P. Freese was for many years pastor of the church. The Rev. Mr. Steelman was the last pastor in 1914, but resigned.
Calvary Episcopal Church was organized in 1832. The Rev. Ephriam Punderson was the first Rector, and for several years the membership was & persons. The Hon. Henry Meiggs and George Wicks were among the contributors in the 70's to wipe out the last of the church debt. The present rector is Octa . vins Edgelow.

Catskill
The town of Catskill was con- stituted in 1792, and was a part of the county of Ulster, according to an act of 1798. Upon the formation of Greene county in 1800, it was taken from Ulster with portions of Woodstock, and all that rart of Catskill that lay west of the Moun- tain line was attached to Windham. Further territory was taken from Athens in 1815. Hezekiah Van Orden was the first supervisor and William Van Orden, Jr., clerk, in 1789. There were about 80 persons who were on the rate list, of what was called, Great Imbocght. They J. Henry Deane included the Abeels, Van Ordens, Persons, Dumond, Overbaugh, Bur- ger, Sax, Trombour, Musier, Fiero, Dederick, Mower, Acker, Fox, Richtmyer, O'Brien, Hallembake, Brant, Sax, Britt, Strope, Duwit, Moore, Spaan, Woolf, Schram, Hill and others, antece- dent of the present families.
Many of these people were also slave owers.
Reference to the schools, churches and tayerns are found elsewhere in this record. Also reference to many of the early industries and persons.
Catskill Village had 5 dwellings in 1787, but in 1792 it had increased to such importance that a newspaper was established by Mackey Croswell, called the Catskill Packet, a facsimile of which, through the courtesy of the Catskill Recorder, we have repro- duced. The growth was very rapid, and the village was soon the most important along the Hudson River, and around the year 1800 there were 2000 inhabitants, and it was announced that Catskill was to become the third, if not the second city in the

state. In 1803 there were 12 wharves and a great trade had sprung up, which comprised freighting to New York and the ship- ping of goods to the interior of the state.
('atskill village was incorporated in 1806, and Stephen Day was the first president. The trustees were Garret Abeel, James Pinkney, John Blanchard, Caleb Benton, Hiland Hill, Stephen Root, Isaac Nichols; Orrin Day and John Du Bois were assessors; Isaac Du Bois was treasurer, and James Benton, collector.
A seal was adopted which resembled a potato bug with an x for a head.
Corporation bills for money were adopted in 1815.
Catskill was on the direct line to Ithaca, Delhi, and Bing- hamton. The building of the Schoharie and Susquehanna turn- pike which started from Catskill and extended to Wattle's Ferry on the Susquehanna river was one of the greatest events next to the building of the New York Central railroad and the Erie Canal, and for a great many years Catskill was the outlet of trade from the interior of the state. At the head of the turnpike project were Stephen Day, Pres .. Martin Schuneman, Benjamin Van Orden, George Hale and others. This road had a capital stock of $12,000 and it was operated until 1856 when the line was operated only as far as Durham.
Many other turnpikes were built and operated, of which the Albany and Greene, Schoharie, Athens, Little Delaware. Blue Mountain, Cauterkill, Bristol now Malden, had turnpike roads, and the Canton Bridge company had a toll bridge a toll bridge at ('anton, 1805, near F. C. Plusch's. These turnpikes brought into existence many stage lines. Terrence Donnelly operated the first of these, under an act of the legislature, 1803. One of these lines was from ('atskill to Unadilla, another to Ithaca, and all this help- to make Catskill the most important place on the Hudson.
The Catskill Agricultural and Horticultural Association was formed in 1865. Addison P. Jones, Isaac Pruyn, John H. Bagley, J B. Hall, John T. Mann, Theodore Cole, Jacob Meech

and Edgar Russell were the directors. The fair grounds were on the John B. Foote farm, in Jefferson. The grounds are now an orchard. The last fair was in 1873.

The first organization of a fire department was in 1806 when a hand engine was in use, and all owners of property were compelled to have at least two buckets for fire purposes.
In 1825 Engine Company No. 2 and Engine Company No. 3 were organized. Two new engines were purchased in 1853. Seven cisterns were built in 1836, and these were filled up a few years since. Ever Ready Company was organized in 1654, and

which has been widely copied. In fact the several companies of Catskill have a uniform that leads all other fire companies. Each company occupies a splendid house, and own much of their equip- ment. Number 1 Hose has an auto fire truck, which is of great service in getting the apparatus quickly to a fire.
The Wilson Fire Company, Geo. Webster, forman, has in their possession one of the hand engines first used in this section. They got it in 1900 from Stephen Vining of Windham, and it was built in 1783, and is known as the Yankee. We show a picture of this curious little fire fighter, and it will be seen that it is still ready for business.
Not least of the fire companies is the Bomptje Hook Com- pany Number 50, with a truck and hose house at the Point. John Fitzsimmons is president of this organization and the annual ban- quet is always an occasion of note.
The chief engineer of the fire department is Henry Place.

The Catskill water works were commenced in December, 1883 and finished in April, 1884, a pumping system, which with the mains and hydrants cost about $160,000. There are over 13 miles of mains, and about 130 hydrants. The water pressure is 80 pounds, and affords a fire protection that is unsurpassed. The plant has a good revenue and the outstanding bonds amount to only $37,000. They are due in 1916.
The members of the Catskill water board are: M. Edward Silberstein, Eugene Wayne, P. Gardner Coffin, E. A. Bennett and and J. Clark Salisbury. In 1914 the board installed a hydro- chlorite system for the purification of the water, which has since tested 100 per cent pure.

Hudson Fulton Celebration
The greatest celebration ever held in Greene county was the Hudson-Fulton, Sept. 25 to October 9, 1909. The crowd was variously estimated at from 10,000 to 12,000. The expense was borne in part by the state and the balance between $3000 and $4000 by Catskill. The flotilla was met about two miles from Catskill, and escorted to the landing while the war vessels fired salutes, and the military bands and parade bands filled the air with their music. The fire alarm and all steam whistles were also tooted. This naval demonstration started in New York City, and wound up by visiting Newburgh, Pokeepsie, Kingston, Catskill, Hudson, Albany and Troy. Some of the great war vessels and some of the world's greatest floats failed to reach Catskill on ac- count of the depth of water being too shallow.
