THE CHURCHES OF WATERTOWN.

THE BAPTIST CHURCH

Had its origin in 1823, it being one of the oldest religious organizations in the county. It was legally organized in October 1827. Its early records were imperfectly kept, and up to 1850 they were never systematically pre- served. The legal organization paper is signed by Seth Smalley and Henry Farring- ton, and acknowledged before Egbert Ten- Eyck, the presiding judge, March 14, 1828. The first meeting-house was built on Factory street. north side, and afterwards sold to the French Catholics, though it is at present occu- pied by the Free Methodists. In 1837 a neat church was erected on the corner of Mill and State streets, fronting the Public Square, the locality of the present noble structure. This church has had a steady though gradual growth, and has ever been a landmark in our city.

The church edifice has been twice de- stroyed by fire-in 1838 and in 1846. But the structures were soon rebuilt, each time in- creasing in size, but adhering to the same locality. In 1872 the church building was thoroughly overhauled, and many improve- ments made. That is the edifice shown on the following page.

Up to 1857, all the baptisms in the Baptist church took place in Black river, in winter as well as in summer. Deacon J. G. Har- bottle was thus immersed near Whittlesey's Point on November 18, 1838.

The following named pastors have served this church in the order named, but the pre- cise periods of their ministrations could not be ascertained : Norman Guiteau, Seth Smalley, Jacob Knapp, John Miller, Charles Clark, L. F. Ford, W. J. Crane, J. A. Nash, J. S. Holme, H. A. Smith, I. Butterfield, C. N. Chandler, L. J. Matteson, John Peddie,

L. M. S. Haynes, James W. Putnam, H. C. Townley, L. J. Dean, C. E. Maxfield, and the present pastor, Rev. Edward Faxon Osborn.

Rev. C. O. Maltby was long an earnest member of this church. An active man of business for years, he finally felt it his duty to give up his commercial life and engage in the work of the ministry. It is not often that a man who is once settled in trade leaves it to preach the Gospel of Christ. This Deacon Maltby did, and, after a two years' course at the theological seminary, he accepted the pastorate of the Baptist Church in Madison, Wis. His means were used in strengthening the church, and he won a high position among the Baptist churches in that State. He is now a resident of Philadelphia, Pa., and doing church work there during a portion of the year.

Avery Thomas was for many years a mem- ber of this church.

At the last meeting in the old church. Col. Shaw feelingly concluded his remarks as fol- lows:

"The rising tide of necessity is about sweeping away this well-known and useful structure, so long the scene of devoted work in the Master's service. Faithful and zealous servants of the Lord Jesus Christ have long ministered within these walls. Many of them have gone to their reward, and others are standing, with expectant faith, on the borders of the better land. What an influence for good has had its source and centre in this place since this edifice was dedicated to the service of Almighty God in 1847!"

This church replaces the old church, which was built in 1846, and in its design and arrangement is entirely different from any other church building in the city. There are two stores in the building facing on Public Square. The tower runs up from the corner of State street and Publie Square to a height of 135 feet, and is 140 feet from its base to the

top of the weather-vane, crowning the whole. The Sunday-School room is located over the stores, and occupies the west end of the build- ing. It has two entrances from the street by way of the tower, and is a room 36x55 feet. Around the south, west and north sides of this room is a gallery divided into five separ- ate class-rooms, which can be opened into one by means of sliding partitions.

The audience room occupies that portion of the church between the parsonage and Sun-

day-school room, and is reached by two entrances leading from the big arch on State street. It is 45 feet square and has a seating capacity of about 600, including the gallery. The stairways from the State street main entrance lead into vestibules on either side. Either of these vestibules has entrance into the audience-room, and stairways leading to the gallery.

The pulpit has an open baptistry with carved white marble curb, the gift of Mrs.

234

THE GROWTH OF A CENTURY.

Harbottle, in memory of her husband, Deacon John Guy Harbottle. The baptistry is entered behind cherry panels on the pulpit platform, and has robing rooms on either side. The organ loft, or choir gallery, is located directly above the pulpit, and is sup- ported by handsomely carved brackets, which in turn are supported by turned posts with carved capitals, all making a background for the pulpit.

The Sunday-school building of the old church has been made into an elegant parson- age, connecting with the church. Its front elevation on State street has a Queen Anne style appearance. The porch is 15 feet wide.

The parsonage, like the church, is heated by hot water, illuminated by gas and incan- descent electric lights and ventilated by flues.

On November 1st, when the bids were opened, it was found that Patrick Phillips, of this city. was the lowest bidder, and in Feb- ruary, 1891, the contract was executed with him for the erection of the building of native limestone for $19,540, and on the first day of March following, the old building was turned over to him, and the demolition of it begun.

Early in the spring, work on the walls be-

gan, and went forward so well that on June 26, the corner-stone was laid with appropriate ceremonies.

This church building as it stands to-day, heated, lighted, carpeted and seated, with the organ included, has cost $31,000 in round figures. This includes the two stores and a comfortable parsonage, well arranged and furnished with all the modern improvements, heat and light, both gas and electric, and hot and cold water. Of this sum all is provided for but about $5,000.

TRINITY CHURCH, WATERTOWN.

235

CITY OF WATERTOWN.

TRINITY CHURCH is the oldest Church of England (Episcopal) organization .in the county, and is one of the oldest in Water- town. In the winter of 1812, when the dread echoes of war were reverberating along this northern border, when Watertown numbered but from 300 to 400 inhabitants, when this now grand church had no existence, nor was there any place of worship, the good mission- ary, "Father " Daniel Nash, first introduced in Watertown the Episcopal service. But it is not known that then, or for years after- wards, there was a single churchman residing here.

The Parish of Trinity Church was organ- ized in May, A. D., 1828, under the rectorship of Rev. Joshua M. Rogers. The first regular place of worship was the Court House, 1827 to 1833.

The first church edifice, of wood, was erected on Court street, and consecrated by

LL.D., D.C.L., January 23, 1851. Its di- mensions were 120 feet by 54 feet, with tower annexed. Richard Upjohn was the architect. This was under the rectorship of the Rev. Levi W. Norton, who was also the rector when the previous church was burned. The last service held in this church was on Easter Day, April 6, 1890. [See picture of this edifice elsewhere in this History.]

Trinity House, located on Trinity Place, was begun May 16, 1887. The corner stone was laid on the 20th of the following June, by Rt. Rev. F. D. Huntington, D.D., LL.D., by whom also the house was dedicated on Shrove Tuesday, February 14, 1888. Its dimensions are 95 feet by 67 feet. It was erected mainly by the generous gifts of Anson R. Flower and the Hon. Roswell P. Flower, supplementing the efforts of the parish and the Sunday School. The ground upon which it and the new church editice stand was

the Rt. Rev. Benjamin T. Onderdonk, D. D., September 18, 1833. Its dimensions were 60 feet by 40 feet. Its exterior design and tower were taken from the mueh celebrated church at

Cambridge, Massachusetts, which was built before the Revolution. Towards the building of this church the corporation of Trinity, New York, gave the sum of $1,000, afterwards adding $500 to help meet expenses. The church was burned to the ground on the morning of Sunday, May 12, 1849, in the great fire. The town clock, located in the tower, struck the hour of 4 while the spire was enveloped in flames, and within 30 minutes thereafter the steeple fell.

The second church edifice, of wood, had its corner stone laid May 14, 1850. Trinity Church, New York, again showed her helpful interest in the parish by giving towards the building of this church, $600. It was conse- crated by the Rt. Rev. William H. DeLancey,

mainly given by Anson R. Flower, who, moreover, gave his untiring personal atten- tion to all the details of the construction of both these buildings. To furnish a driveway in the rear of the church, a private citizen generously gave a portion of his land. Mr. W. P. Wentworth, of Boston, was the archi- tect, Smith & Allen, of Middlebury, Vt., were the builders, and Mr. Thomas W. Rogers was the foreman.

The present rectory was first occupied as such, July 22, 1887, and was the gift of Anson R. Flower.

The new Trinity Church was begun April 1st, 1889. The corner stone was laid July 11, 1889, by Bishop Huntington, and the com- pleted structure was consecrated by him on Tuesday, September 9th, 1890. It has been wholly erected by Hon. Roswell P. Flower and Anson R. Flower, and is a monument of rare generosity, crowing a series of rich gifts,

while it far excels them all. A description of its many architectural beauties, adaptations, rich ornamentation, furnishing and general imposing effect can not be attempted here, and are very imperfectly depicted by our en- gravings.

Mr. W. P. Wentworth was the architect, Mr. Clinton F. Smith, of Middlebury. Vt., the builder, and Mr. Thomas W. Rogers, the foreman. J. & R. Lamb had charge of all the interior decoration.

The corporation of Trinity parish received the church from its donors "on condition that said corporation shall not at any time sell, convey or encumber the said structure, or any part thereof, or any pew therein."

Trinity Parish, Watertown, has been the recipient of signal gifts. May she have grace

always to use them to the glory of God " from whom all blessings flow."

It will thus be seen, that in addition to aiding in the erection of a fine Presbyterian church at Theresa, in memory of their parents, the Messrs. Flower have testified their personal interest in the cause of religion by erecting these noble edifices in Watertown.

THE INSTRUMENT OF DONATION.

WHEREAS, we the Rector, Church Wardens and Vestrymen of Trinity Church, in the city of Watertown, county of Jefferson, State of New York, Diocese of Central New York, having, by the good presence of Almighty God, received the gift in the said city of Watertown, of a house of public worship, we do hereby appropriate and devote the same to the worship and service of Almighty God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, accord- ing to the provision of the Protestant Episco- pal Church in the United States of America, in its Ministry, Doctrines, Liturgy, Rights and Usages, and by a congregation in com- munion with said church, and in union with the convention thereof, in the Diocese of Central New York.

And we do also hereby request the Right Reverend FREDERICK DAN HUNTINGTON, S.

thereby separate it from all unhallowed, worldly and common uses, and solemnly dedicate it to the holy purposes above men- tioned.

And we do moreover hereby relinquish all claim to any right of disposing of the said building, or allowing of the use of it in any way inconsistent with the terms and true meaning of this Instrument of Donation, and with the consecration hereby requested of the Bishop of this Diocese.

In testimony whereof, we, the said Rector, Church Wardens and Vestrymen of Trinity Church, in the city of Watertown, county of Jefferson, State of New York, and Diocese of Central New York, have caused this Instru- ment of Donation to have attached to it the seal of our corporation, and the signatures of the presiding officer and clerk of a meeting duly convened on the eighth day of Septem- ber, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and ninety.

GRACE EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

July 21, 1867, consent having been obtained from Bishop Coxe, and from Rev. Theodore Babcock, Rector of Trinity Church, the first services for organizing Grace Church were held at the Court House in Watertown, according to the rules of the Protestant Epis- copal Church of the United States of America. The Rev. Edwin M. Van Dusen, of Grace Church, Utica, N Y., officiated, at which time notice was given of the meeting of the members of the congregation, worshipping as aforesaid, to be held on August 14, 1867, for the purpose of incorporating themselves as a religious society.

On August 14, 1867, Grace church was duly incorporated, with F. W. Hubbard and C. D. Wright as wardens; James F. Star- buck, George A. Bagley, Levi H. Brown, L. J. Dorwin, W. R. Trowbridge, A. H. Hall, George H. Sherman and C. H. Van Brakle, as vestrymen.

July 30, 1868, Rev. John A. Staunton was called as the first rector. June 10, 1869, Grace Church chapel was duly consecrated by Bishop Huntington.

March 11, 1889, a resolution was passed by the vestry to build a new church according to the plans and specifications of Messrs. L. B. Valk & Son, of New York City. A. D. Remington and George A. Bagley were ap- pointed a building committee, and on May 3, 1889, ground was broken for the new edifice at the corner of Sterling and Clay streets.

January 13, 1891, the new church was fully completed and opened for divine ser- vice. The church is a fine building, built in a combination of different styles of architec- ture, harmoniously blended, in which the Romanesque prevails. It will seat 550 peo- ple. An interesting fact in connection with the church is that, with few exceptions, this beautiful edifice and all its appointments stand as an example of what local talent can accomplish.

The present rector, the Very Rev. William Henry Bown, accepted a unanimous call to the parish, April 4, 1893. Under Mr. Bown's administration, a vested choir has been added to the church, an Altar Guild, a Young Men's Guild, a Junior Auxiliary Society, and a free dispensary has been organized.

THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL

Denomination at an early day organized a class, and in November, 1821, a society, with Jonathan Cowan, Titus Ives (father of Hon. Willard Ives), John Collins, Thomas Potter, and Henry H. Coffeen, trustees. In 1824 the society was reorganized, and soon after erected on Arsenal street a stone church which stood there for many years, since taken down, and the site now occupied by the Arsenal street school house. After a while, the organization having increased rapidly, the Methodists re- solved to organize a new society, and the re- sult was the State Street Methodist Society.

The church erected after taking down the old stone church, was burned in 1877, and the present commodious building erected on the same site, Arsenal street, below the armory.

In the spring of 1894 the Arsenal Street Church had a membership of 49 probationers and 653 full members. For several years it has carried on chapel work across the river. This year the chapel work (called Bethany Church), became independent and organized an official board. Rev. Robert Flint was appointed pastor. This church has two pro- bationers and 66 members. The Sunday- School of the parent church liad 606 scholars.

The present official board is : J. B. Ham- mond, Pastor; Martin Ford, Sunday-School Superintendent; I. A. Graves, Local Preacher; A. N. Gillet, Winfred Wood, San- ford Peters, Albert Gurnee, Willard Ives, H. G. Easton, Wm. Loan, Lorenzo Rogers, Mrs. E. J. Warner, Robert Young, George Switzer, Class Leaders; A. R. Wilson, T. D. Mather, O. J. Bishop, L. N. Tucker, Brayton Brown, J. W. Empey, E. E. Folsom, Thomas Conklin, George H. Philips, L. N. Stevens, Delmont S. Brown, H. M. Kellar, William G. Dorr, Stewards; G. H. Tallett, L. N. Tucker, Willard Ives, David Satchwell, J. M. Adams, Albert Gurnee, John Neuroth, Trustees. The pastor's address is 58 Arsenal street. Value of church property, $30,000.

239

CITY OF WATERTOWN.

STATE STREET METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH .- Dec. 11, 1848, it was decided by the official board and other leading members of the Watertown M. E. Church to divide the same. Under the official sanction of Bishop Janes, D. D., on motion of Willard Ives, the division was made at a line made by Washing- ton and Mill streets. Rev. James Erwin and Hiram Woodruff were appointed the stationed preachers of the two churches. State street church was legally organized January 29, 1849, with Rev. Lewis Whitcomb as presiding elder. The Trustees were: Thos. Baker, President, Augustus J. Peck, Solomon H. Carter, Harlow Scovil, Josiah Huckins, Albert Cook, Edmund Davis, George Porter, James M. Sigourney.

The church prospered, and now has a mem- bership of 400. It is thoroughly organized and aggressive in Christian activity. Its present pastor is Rev. William D. Marsh, a broad-minded, able and most acceptable minister. His father was lieutenant colonel of the 16th N. Y. Infantry, killed at Gaines' Mills, Va.

The present Board of Trustees are: J. W. Weeks, Joseph K. Moffett, P. B. Grant, F. P. Rhines, George McComber, L. C. Green- leaf, N. H. Winslow, J. R. Pawling.

THE UNIVERSALIST CHURCH. .

This religious society was organized Janu- ary 3, 1825. The first Board of Trustees were Chauncey Calhoun, Joseph Sheldon, Ichiel M. Howell, Reuben Goodale, Jonathan Baker and Eliot Makepeace. The name given to the organization was the First Uni- versalian Society of Watertown. The late Rev. Pitt Morse was chiefly instrumental in securing the organization, and became its first pastor, and continued in that relation for a period of twelve years or more. The society purchased the site where its church edifice now stands, of Chauncey Calhoun, January 2, 1826, for the sum of $150. The pastors serving the Society from its organization till the present time have been Revs. Pitt Morse, Wm. H. Wagoner, Harvey Boughton, James H. Stewart, A. A. Thayer, E. W. Reynolds, I. M. Atwood, D. C. Tomlinson, Rev. Mr. Babbitt, Harvey Hersey, J. H. Porter, Dr. Richmond Fisk and the Rev. D. L. R. Libby, the present pastor. In the course of these years, many eminent clergymen of that de- nomination have visited this Society and preached or lectured to its members, among whom will be remembered Dolphus Skinner, A. B. Grosh, Hosea Ballou, E. H. Chapin, Charles Skinner, Abel Thomas, T. Starr King, and others.

The first edifice of the Society was built of stone, which took fire in the steeple from the burning of a neighboring house, in 1850, and was utterly destroyed, after which the present structure was built of brick.

The property of the church now consists of the lot and church edifice, and house and lot on Franklin street joining the church lot, and a fine parsonage on Winthrop street, in all

valued at from $48,000 to $50,000. The Society is in a prosperous condition, there being 211 communicants enrolled, be-

ing a greater number than were ever before registered at any one time, its mem- bers being very active in charitable work. Its present Board of Trustees are: H. M. Ball, L. R. Murray, Chas. E. Brown and F. B. Devendorf; Secretary, F. B. Devendorf; Treasurer, Louis Washburn; Collector, F. M. Lamon. There is a large and flourishing Sunday-School connected with the church, as well as a Young People's Christian Endeavor Society. The church choir has for many years been regarded as a model one, if not the best in the city. Indeed, several of the other church choirs have been recruited from the choir of the Universalist Church, under the long and efficient training of Mr. Samuel Adams, its chorister and trainer for nearly a quarter of a century.

THE FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

This church was organized in 1815, and is one of the oldest societies in the county. The first public exercises of a religious character in Watertown were held in the house of Hart Massey, in March, 1801. In 1803, Rev. E. Lazelle organized a congregation at Burrville, which may be regarded as the beginning of the present organization. Fifteen united then. In 1815 the final organizatian was legally accomplished. In July, 1814, Rev. Daniel Banks was called, and he accepted, Oct. 16, 1815. July 26, 1821, Rev. Geo. S. Boardman was duly ordained, and was installed as pastor. In 1837 Mr. Boardman departed. The membership then numbered 233. Rev. Isaac Brayton was installed in 1837, and continued 26 years as pastor, much beloved. Rev. Dr. Porter came in 1864, and continued until 1881, a period of 17 years. Rev. George B. Stevens succeeded him, but in 1886 he resigned to accept a chair in Yale University, Rev. A. M. Dulles then was installed, and is now the pastor.

Communicants, 566; teachers in Sunday School, 40; scholars in Sunday School, 254; vols. in library, 500.

AFRICAN M. E. ZION CHURCH.

The only colored church in Jefferson county belongs to one of the two great branches of colored Methodists in the United States, known as the African Methodist Episcopal and African Methodist Episcopal Zion churches. The church at Watertown belongs to the latter connection.

The church was organized in 1878, in a private house on River street. Rev. Hamil- ton R. Phoenix was the first pastor. Under
