PUBLIC HIGHWAYS.
At the first meeting, in 1837, the town was divided into 9 road districts, in charge of the following overseers, viz. (elected in 1838): District No. 1, Almon Guthrie; District No. 2, F. B. Salisbury ; District No. 3, S. S. Cole; District No. 4, Wm. Baxter; District No. 5, D. Skeels ; District No. 6, Calvin Chickering; District No. 7, Joseph Learn ; District No. 8, Francis Mattison ; District No. 9, James Hitchcock.
In 1851 the number of road districts had increased to 23, with the following overseers, viz. : 1st, Thomas Barker ; 2d, James Kinyon ; 3d, Parker Smith ; 4th, James McMur- phy; 5th, A. S. Cleveland ; 6th, James Bond ; 7th, Eras- tus Wheeler ; 8th, Samuel D. Kinyon; 9th, Solomon Moyer; 10th, Wm. S. Morris; 11th, David A. Wheeler ; 12th, Roswell Williams ; 13th, .J. M. Williams; 14th, Oliver Scott ; 15th, Wm. Baxter ; 16th, Alexander Ray ; 17th, John Putman ; 18th, S. S. Cole; 19th, Joseph Learn ; 20th, Lester McWithie; 21st, Richard Bozard ; 22d, Daniel Skeels ; 23d, Levi Moffat.
The roads in the town are kept in tolerably good con- dition for a town not yet entirely settled and improved. The Holland Land Company and its successors paid a non- resident road-tax on such unsold lots as were passed through or lay adjacent to new roads, which was applied, under the direction of the commissioners of highways, towards paying the expense of cutting out and making roads and bridges in town. They aided also in the surveys and opening of the first important roads through the wilderness. From this source, and the road-taxes assessed to the settlers, a large amount of labor has been performed from year to year on the highways in town. In some cases the overseers have added the one-third of each tax by assessment, as authorized by law, in cases where the labor was much needed to keep the roads in repair.
DAIRY AND FARM STATISTICS.
The town has 4 cheese-factories, 1 located on lot 2, owned by Brownson & Abell; another at Humphrey Centre, by Gilbert C. Sweet ; and 2 in the Sugartown Valley. These factories consume the milk of about 800 cows, and make about 200,000 pounds of cheese annually. The average amount earned by each cow during the dairy season is about $20.
In the valleys excellent crops of hay, oats, wheat, and corn are produced, and of late much attention has been

paid to fruit culture. Nearly every farm has a good orchard of apple-trees, which generally thrive well. A severe frost on the 4th of June, 1858, destroyed nearly the entire fruit and other crops. And now, after a lapse of twenty years, the fruit crop has again been severely damaged by frost.
It may here be noted that the early settlers of the town eked out the scarcity of hay and grain by " browsing," or letting their cattle feed on the buds and twigs of trees which had been cut for this purpose. But even this re- source was sometimes rendered difficult by the deep snow and by ice on the trees, and now and then suffering ensued by reason of want, at times, of a supply of feed for the stock. Large quantities of maple-sugar were formerly manufactured in the town,-especially in the valley,- which from this circumstance has since been known as "Sugartown."
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The people of Humphrey carly took a deep interest in the education of their children. Schools were provided, and rude but comfortable houses erected, which have long since given place to good and convenient frame school- houses.
The first school in town was taught, in 1820, in a house near Mrs. Reed's residence, on the Sugartown Creek. A Mr. Marsh began the school, and taught awhile until some difficulty arose between him and some of his scholars, which terminated in the boys being too much for him, and he quit the school. John W. Howe, a son of Capt. Nathan Howe, was then engaged to teach, and he made a success of it. He afterwards studied law, and became distinguished in that profession ; and was elected a member of Congress from the Franklin district in Pennsylvania.
At a later day Foster B. Salisbury taught a school half a mile above Chapellsburg, at ten dollars a month, to cut his own wood, and build the fires. The settlers paid him by chopping on his farm.
The town has at present 7 school districts, in which schools are maintained at a cost of $1218.21 for the year 1877. The number of children of school age in the town was 381, and the average daily attendance for that year was 157.
At an early day the wages of school-teachers were generally much lower than at the present time. Male teachers were paid about $10 or $12 a month, and commonly boarded around with those sending children to school. Females taught at from $1 to 12 shillings per week, and also boarded with the patrons of schools. In later years teachers' wages have advanced 100 per cent. or morc.
CEMETERIES.
There are two burial-places at Chapellsburg. The Protestant cemetery, near the Baptist church, is inclosed with a good substantial board fence, and there have been erected several tombstones, with suitable inscriptions there- on. And near the Catholic church is a well-inclosed cem- etery containing a number of graves, with tombstones to commemorate the names and the resting-place of the dead.
Near Humphrey Centre there is a cemetery protected by
a good fence, inclosing the graves of several persons who took an active part in the early settlement and improvement of the town. A few have marble tombstones and monu- ments to indicate the resting-place of the departed pioneers.
There is also a burial-place at Sugartown. It is, how- ever, just over the Great Valley line, and near the Free- Will Baptist church.
The burial-place in the Five-Mile Valley is near the Baptist church, which stands on the town line between Humphrey and Allegany, and is used by the people of both towns in that locality. It has been well fenced, and kept in commendable order for a country burial-place.
RELIGIOUS SOCIETIES.
The Baptists were the first to hold religious meetings in town. In 1824 the Rev. Benjamin Cole settled at Hum- phrey Centre. He was a Baptist minister of culture, having been educated for the Catholic priesthood. He died about 1838. The first meetings were held in barns, private houses, and in the school-houses. The following societies have been organized in town:
BAPTIST CHURCH OF HUMPHREY.
This church was organized Feb. 14, 1871, at a meeting held at the house of S. S. Cole. The trustees elected at that time were Lewis J. Parker, Andrew J. Bozard, and James M. Whitney. On Nov. 9, 1872, at a meeting of the members of the church and congregation, duly called, the name was changed to " Free Baptist Church of Hum- phrey," and at the same meeting, L. C. Miller, Ezra Marsh, and Lafayette G. Sweet were duly elected trustees. Meet- ings for religious worship are held at the church at Chapellsburg. In the spring of 1873 a frame meeting- house was begun at Chapellsburg, of ample dimensions, to accommodate the society. The house was not completed until 1876. It has an attractive appearance, having towers, etc., and the Rev. Mr. Schoonover, of the Five-Mile Church, officiates every two weeks. There is a Sunday-school, which has usually been held during the summer season at the school-house. Present trustees, A. J. Bozard, J. M. Whit- ney, and William J. Sherman.
THE HUMPHREY FREE-WILL BAPTIST CHURCH.
The Free-Will Baptists had occasional preaching in town before 1838, but no society was regularly organized until that year, when the Rev. D. W. McKoon became the pastor of the members of this faith in town. On the 16th of August, 1858, a legal organization was effected by electing Sidney Newell, L C. Miller, D. W. McKoon, Almon Guthrie, Parker Smith, Chase Fuller, and Benjamin Crary trustees of the temporalities of the church. A neat house of worship was erected in the Sugartown Valley, near the town line of Great Valley, capable of seating 250 persons. Rev. D. W. McKoon maintained his connection with the church until his death, in 1870. Since that period the pastors have been a brother of Mr. McKoon, who labored with the church for a year or two, and after- wards Elder Jackson was resident minister. He left in 1873, and since then Rev. Mr. Armstrong, of Great Val- ley, has ministered to the Sugartown society. There is a

Sunday-school, well attended, of which N. W. McKoon is superintendent.
ST. PACIFICUS CHURCH (CATHOLIC),
at Humphrey, was organized with about 15 members in 1855, in which year was erected a church edifice (about one-fourth of a mile east from the village of Chapellsburg), at a cost of $1200, which will seat 250 persons. The first pastor was Father Pamfilo; the present one is the Rev. John Brady, who resides at Ellicottville. There are about 200 members. The church property is valued at $2000. There is a Sunday-school in connection with this church.
CHAPELLSBURG.
This little hamlet-better known as Humphrey post- office-is located one and a half miles southwest from the geographical centre of the town. It contains a store, post- office, hotel, several mechanic shops, a school-house, and 2 churches,-Free Baptist and Catholic,-and several dwell- ings.
The hotel at this point was first kept by Russell Chapell, and continued by him until his death, in 1857, when Wm. S. Morris, who married a daughter of Mrs. Chapell, became the proprietor, and at his death, in 1868, the present pro- prietor, Wm. J. Sherman, a son-in-law of Mr. Morris, became the owner. The place was, in the early years of Cattaraugus County, one of considerable note. The mail stage then running between Buffalo and Olean arrived and departed daily, and there was, besides, a large amount of teaming and travel on the stage road. Often the hotel was crowded to its utmost capacity with teamsters and travelers. In 1838, Archibald McMurphy built a saw-mill on Wright's Creek, a few rods below the hotel. The mill was afterwards
owned and run for some years by Thomas B. Shepard. In 1874 the supply of logs for stocking the mill becoming scarce it was discontinued and went to ruin, and is now to be reckoned only among the things of the past. In 1867 one David Van Tile built a small grist-mill at Chapellsburg for custom work, which on account of injury by a flood was discontinued in 1877. At various times several small stores and groceries have been started here, but were continued only a few years at most. Harvey A. Pierce is the present storekeeper. He began trade after 1870, and in 1877 he erected a good store building and dwelling. He keeps a variety of goods and groceries for the retail trade.
HUMPHREY CENTRE
is a small village situated two and a half miles northeast from Chapellsburg. It has about 75 inhabitants, a store, a number of mechanic shops, a school-house, post-office, and a cheese-factory. There was formerly a steam saw- and grist-mill, built by F. B. Salisbury, which was unfortunately destroyed by fire in 1871. There are three store buildings in the place, in which goods have been sold at various times by Sawyer & Foote, John C. Meacham, J. B. Miller, Parker Smith, Moffatt Bros., Milo Berry, and F. B. Salis- bury. At present the only store doing business is that of Mr. Moffatt, who also keeps the Humphrey Centre post- office. The mail is carried to Kill Buck (Great Valley depot) and back three times in each week, stopping at Chapellsburg and Great Valley post-offices. The distance is about 12 miles.
Humphrey Centre is often called " Tickletown." This nickname was first applied by Abraham Wright, who re- sided at Chapellsburg at a time when the Centre people were somewhat jubilant over a town-meeting triumph.
COLD SPRING.
COLD SPRING is situated in the southwestern part of the county, in the second township of the eighth range of the Holland Company's survey. It was erected from Napoli, March 20, 1837, to embrace the two lower town- ships of that range, but in 1847 town 1 was taken off, to form South Valley ; and in 1848 a part of township 2 was annexed to the same town, leaving Cold Spring with an area of 17,787 acres. The surface is elevated and broken into summits and intervales, some of the former being 500 feet above the general level of the valleys. It was originally covered with a fine growth of timber, some of the pines having been more than 200 feet in length. For many years lumbering formed the chief interest of the people, but since the town has been denuded of its forests agriculture is receiving considerable attention, chiefly in dairying. The soil of the uplands is principally a slaty
loam, but in the valleys is a fertile, gravelly loam, yielding abundantly hay, grain, and potatoes.
The Allegany River is the largest stream of the town, flowing through the southeast corner a distance of nearly three miles. Its principal affluent in town is Cold Spring Creek, which rises in the northern part of Napoli, and flowing south through Cold Spring, empties into the Alle- gany, in the southern part of that town. It is a fine stream of pure cold water, which suggested its name, after- wards applied to the town. Along the Allegany and three miles up this creek extends the Reservation of the Senecu Indians, embracing a large portion of the choicest lands. A branch of the Connewango rises in the south western part of the town, and flowing northward, passes into Ran- dolph, near the northwest corner of Cold Spring. Here is also a mill brook of large size, flowing southwest. All of

the creeks afford water-powers, which have been well im- proved, and contribute largely to the prosperity of the town.
From the books of the Holland Land Company, it appears that in 1819, land was owned in town by Artemas Houghton, Philip Tome, Jesse Hotchkiss, Isaac Dow, and Milton Holmes. Some of these became actual settlers. Their
PIONEER HISTORY,
and brief notices of others who endured the hardships incident to the lives of early settlers, are here given.
Philip Tome came from Susquehanna, Pa., as early as 1818, and, no doubt, was the first white settler in town. He paid much attention to hunting and trapping. He caught large numbers of elk, which were plenty at that time, especially in the south side of the Allegany. He engaged extensively in lumbering, as he was in the midst of an unbroken pine forest. He claims to have run the first raft of lumber upon the Allegany River. At that time 60,000 feet made a full raft. Mr. Tome had several sons, some of whom now reside at Willow Creek, in South Valley, where the father died some years since.
A Mr. Conn, and James and Robert Pease, settled in the town soon after Tomes, but soon removed.
Jesse Hotchkiss came about 1819.
Isaac Merrill came from Oneida County, in 1822, locating on lot 54. He was born in Connecticut, April, 1779, and died in Randolph, Oct. 17, 1858. His wife, Rebecca Benedict, was born in Connecticut, March, 1781, and died in Cold Spring, September, 1864. A son, Isaac N., is living on lot 50, in the town of Napoli. A. C. Merrill resides in East Randolph.
Charles Crook, a native of Connecticut, came to Cold Spring from the town of Holland, Erie Co., March, 1822. He was born in 1751, and was therefore twenty-five years of age at the time of the Declaration of Independence. He was for several years a soldier in the American army under Washington. He located on lot 32, and built a shanty, the roof and floor of which were bark. He built a saw- mill on Cold Spring Creek the same season (1822), having brought in a millwright with him. Polly Chandler, his wife, was born in 1759, and was a native of New England. She died in Cold Spring in 1833. The two oldest sons, Stephen and Asa, died in Illinois. The third son, Elijah, living in Indiana, and running a boat on the Mississippi, left his home for a trip, and was never again heard of by his family. Nathan Crook, another son, is living on lot 16, and is the oldest living settler in Cold Spring.
Frink and Erastus Crook, brothers, from Massachusetts, located on lot 31 in 1822. Erastus died in Pennsylvania in 1877, and Frink died in Erie Co., N. Y.
Joshua Barnes, from Erie County, settled on lot 32 in 1822. Alvah Rogers came in from the same county in 1822, and some years later returned to his former home.
Horace Wait, from Washington Co., N. Y., located on lot 30 in 1822. He rolled up the body of a log house, then went back to his old home, expecting to return in a few weeks, but sickened and died there.
Joel Hall, from Ontario County, located on lot 54 in 1823. He died at East Randolph in 1875. His wife,
Lydia, died at East Randolph in 1876. They left two sons, one living in Randolph and one in Cold Spring. Capt. Amos Hall, from Ontario County, located on lot 54 in 1825. He was an ambitious, energetic man, and prob- ably did more to build up the town of Cold Spring than any other person who has ever done business in that town. He died in Kansas, in March, 1878. Emily, his wife, died in Randolph in 1861.
Erastus Hall came to Napoli in 1820, and in 1825 to Cold Spring. He is now doing business in that town, in the village of East Randolph. Four sons reside in the same place.
Parley Marsh, from Windham Co., Vt., where he was born in 1796, came to this town in 1826, and located on lot 53. He died at St. Paul, Minn., in April, 1869. His wife, Sally Eames, was born in Vermont in 1803, and died December, 1852: The same year, and from the same place, came Arba Marsh, born in 1800, who settled on lot 53. He died in Cold Spring, January, 1839. His wife, Arte- mesia Jones, was born, in Vermont, December, 1805, and is now living in the State of Ohio. Marshall Marsh was born in 1802. He died in the town of Randolph, N. Y., October, 1857. His wife, Sally L. Morton, was born June, 1805, and yet resides in Randolph. Newton Marsh was born in 1810. He came to this town in 1826, and died here January, 1835.
Blakely Ingalls, from Washington County, settled in town about 1825, where he died about 1838.
Sylvester May settled in town in 1828, and is now living at Steamburgh.
William Earle, from Genesee County, located on lot 17 in 1832. His father having been killed by the fall of a tree, his widowed mother came with him to this town. He is now living in town, on lot 37. Mrs. Earle died in 1869.
Jonas Hubbard located on lot 29 in 1830, coming from Genesee County. He died in Pennsylvania. His wife, Polly Mann, died in Michigan in 1861. His son, Manley, lives in the town of Dayton, and a daughter, Permelia, re- sides in Cold Spring.
Samuel Price was born in 1790, and came from Oswego Co., N. Y., in 1833, and located on lot 50. He died on the same lot in 1862. His wife, Elizabeth Cheney, was born in 1794, and died in the town of Randolph in 1876. The oldest son, Ebenezer C. Price, died in town, June, 1875, James W. in 1872, and Jonathan in 1852. Other children of this family-Joseph, Martin, Dorr, and Ma- tilda-yet live in Cold Spring, and Angeline in Randolph.
PIONEER MEMORANDA.
The first orchard was planted on lot 32 by Charles Crook, in 1823. He also built the first frame barn in 1825, and shares with the Hall family the honor of building the first saw-mills, both having been erected on Spring Brook in 1822.
Charles Crook married Sally Ballard, of Erie County, in 1822, and the following year had born a daughter, Martha, which was the first white child born in town. She is now living, a widow, in Salamanca.
The father of Eastman Prescott was the first adult to die in town,-year not positively known.

Early schools were taught by a Miss Noble and Miss E. Sanford in 1831 and 1832, and the first frame school-house was built in 1835, on a lot of ground given for this pur- pose by Nathan 'Crook.
Philemus Hall is credited with having kept the first inn and store, in 1822.
