Their names were, Ebenezer, Jeduthan, Alexander, Horace, and Norman. They were all expert hunters, and gave much time to the chase. Once upon the track of deer, bear, or wolf, there seldom was an escape for the animal. In 1833, having driven two wolves into a piece of swampy woods, they rallied as many of the neighbors as possible to surround the swamp; but the wolves made their escape, and were pursued by Horace and Norman Seely, who fol- lowed them nine days, passing through several towns of Cattaraugus and Chautauqua Counties. One of the wolves finally took shelter in a small low cave in the town of Na- poli, at a point called Cat Rock, from its having been the harbor for wild-cats. The question now arose, " Who is to imitate the example of General Putnam, and follow the wolf into the cave ?" Horace claimed this right. A strong hook was accordingly attached to the end of a pole of suffi- cient length to reach from the bottom of the cave to where the wolf was. Mr. Seely then firmly fastened the hook to the wolf, and those at the mouth of the cave drew the ani- mal out over the body of the adventurous hunter, as he lay flat upon his face.

The first marriage was that of Dr. Noble, to Statira Can- field. Dr. Noble died in Ontario County, where his wife still resides. These parties went out of town to find an officer to perform the rites. The first marriage, the cere- mony of which was performed in the town, was that of John Morrill to Miss Sophronia Seward, a cousin of the late William H. Seward, by Rev. Ira Dunning, in 1824. This couple having lived together fifty-four years, yet re- side at Napoli Corners in fair health, and their memories are but little impaired by the weight of years.


The first school was taught in the dwelling-house of John Warner, in the summer of 1819, by Miss Fannie Board- man, who now resides in the State of Iowa. The first school-house was a small log building on lot 42. The first school in it was taught by Phineas Noble, and the second by Sophronia Seward.
