Gideon Niles emigrated from Oneida County in the spring of 1824, and settled on the Machias road, about four miles east of Ellicottville. He was a brother of Mrs. Grove Hurlbut. His widow is still living, and with her daughter Mrs. Gillies.

Felix Calkins came from Oswego with his wife and four children, and settled on lot No. 16, purchasing 60 acres in 1827, now occupied by Morris Killian.

Albert and Jacob F. Vedder were brothers. They emi- grated from Montgomery County, and settled in the north- west part of the town in 1828, on and near what is now known as Vedder's Corners. Jacob built the first saw-mill in that part of the town. Hon. C. P. Vedder, who has rep- resented the county in the Legislature several terms, and is now senator from this district, is a son of Jacob F. Vedder. Another son, John A., is now living on the homestead of his father.

William Boyce came to this town from Boston, Mass., and settled on lot No. 10, on Beaver Meadow Creek, where William Hawkins now resides. He bought the farm in 1830 of Allen Green, who had occupied it a year or two. Mr. Green then purchased the farm adjoining where Asa Rowland now lives.

In 1832, Jas. Leach, from Chenango County, purchased a farm adjoining Mr. Boyce, on lot No. 18, where his sons are living. John Diltz settled on the same creek, on lot 19, in the spring of 1834. Byron A. Johnston, of Ellicott- ville, married his daughter. The following settlers came in from 1828 to 1835 :

A Mr. Jackman, from Middlebury, Genesee Co., set- tled near Plato, where Mrs. R. Oyer now resides, in the neighborhood now known as Jackman's Hill. John Vos- burg, a blacksmith by trade, came from the eastern part of the State, and located lot No. 45 where E. Y. Arnold now resides.

William Clark settled about the same time, and still re- sides there.

The first land contracts issued by the Holland Land Com- pany within the limits of the town were in 1813, and to Rickertson Burlingame, Harvey B. Hayes, Archelaus and Orrin Brown, Amos Ingalls, and Grove Hurlbut. Later,

INITIAL EVENTS.

Rude huts and shanties had been hastily constructed for the use of surveying-parties in this region several years before Grove Hurlbut and his oldest son made the first clearing in the town, and built the first log house, in the fall of 1815, on lot 57. Orrin Pitcher built the first log house in the village of Ellicottville on lot 47 (village),

where the tin-shop now stands, in the winter and spring of 1815-16.

In the fall of 1816, Grove Hurlbut built the first frame barn, and set out in that season the first apple-trees, bring- ing them from Franklinville. Baker Leonard built the first frame house and kept the first tavern in 1817, and in 1818 the first store, on the spot where J. King Skinner now lives. The Holland Land Company erected a land- office in the winter of 1817. A man by the name of Lusk came out in the fall to keep fires in the building, and was the first blacksmith. David Goodwin was the first land agent of the Holland Land Company. The office was opened in June, 1818. Eunice Carpenter was the first school-teacher in the summer of 1818, and taught in the front room of Orrin Pitcher's house. The first school- house was built in 1820, on Bryant Hill. The Rev. John Spencer was the first minister who preached in this town. The services were held at the house of Orrin Pitcher.

The first regularly organized church was the Baptist Church on Bryant Hill, Aug. 21, 1824. The Rev. Eben- ezer Vining was the first pastor (settled). The first church edifice was erected in 1836 or 1837, and the old Spanish bell erected in its tower was the first one in town.

The first burial-place was the one now used in the village of Ellicottville, and the first interment was that of a child of H. B. Hayes. The first man buried within the grounds was Baker Leonard, who died April 17, 1821. The next burial was that of Mrs. Mindwell Hurlbut, the mother of Grove Hurlbut. This was in 1822.

The first birth was in June, 1816, in the family of Orrin Pitcher-a son, Orlando Pitcher, who grew to manhood in Ellicottville, and removed to the West. In the year 1818, the 7th of October, occurred the birth of Miranda, daugh- ter of Grove Hurlbut, and the first female child born in the town of Ellicottville.

There was no marrying nor giving in marriage in the new settlement until 1820, when John A. Bryan became the husband of Eliza Dixon. The ceremony was performed at the house of Baker Leonard by the Rev. Mr. Frazer, & clergyman, and the occasion, being the first of its kind in Ellicottville, was one of great rejoicing and merriment. Mr. Bryan settled here as the first lawyer in the village.

Dr. James Trowbridge came in town in the winter of 1816-17; remained about six months, living in Mr. Leon- ard's house, and moved to Hinsdale, where he practiced until 1844, when he moved. Orrin Pitcher, in 1821, built the first saw-mill on Great Valley Creek, on lot 61, about two miles east of the village. Artemas Blair, in 1832, built the first tannery in the village, near Cummings' block. Ozro Thomas and Deacon Gardner built the first grist-mill in 1832, where the depot of the Rochester and State Line Railroad now stands. Richard Hill, in 1826, started the Western Courier, the first newspaper in town.

The mail was first carried by - Moore on horseback to Centreville in 1822, and the first stage-route was es- tablished by James J. Adkins in 1826, and Abner Steb- bins was driver, and ran from this place to Centreville in connection with stages to the East. A post-office was opened by John A. Bryan in 1822 in his law-office, which was a small building erected on the lot where is now the

WILLIAM SAMUEL JOHNSON.

William Samuel Johnson, son of Samuel William Johnson and his wife, Susan Edwards Johnson (daughter of Pierrepont Edwards, and granddaughter of Jonathan Edwards, president of Princeton College), was born at Strat- ford, Conn., Dec. 13, 1795. His grandfather was William Samuel Johnson, a prominent man in the politics of his time, and a member of the National Constitutional Conven- tion of 1788.

William S. Johnson (the younger) removed to New York City in 1819, and entered as a student in the law office of the Irish patriot, Thomas Addis Emmett. He was admitted to the bar in 1820, and became a partner with the Hon. Ogden Edwards; and was afterwards a partner of Judge William Kent, son of Chancellor Kent, of New York. He was a member of the common council of New York in 1834-35, and it was largely through his influence and active exertions, with those of Robert Emmett, that the city was provided with its abundance of pure water from the Croton River, in place of its previous miserable and insufficient supply from the carts of the "Manhattan Water-Works Company." He also originated and carried through the project of building the "Tombe" (city prison), on Centre Street, to supersede the use of the old " Bridewell" prison ; and he gave active and efficient aid in the establishment and erection of the lunatic asylum on Blackwell's Island. He was a member of the New York Senate in 1848-49, and introduced the bills, which became laws, relating to the Seneca nation of Indians. He worked earnestly for the welfare of this Indian nation, and the passage of

wholesome laws relating to them in their relations to their white neighbors.

On the 20th of April, 1824, he married Laura Woolsey (sister of President Woolsey, of Yale College), who is still living. The children born of this marriage are: Gen. Saml. Wm. Johnson, of Mamaroneck, N. Y., formerly of Ellicottville, late commissary-general of New York ; Dr. Woolsey Johnson, of New York City ; Susan E. J. Hud- son, of Stratford, Conn. ; and Laura Carmalt, wife of Dr. Carmalt, of New York City.

Having become proprietor of large tracts of land in Cat- taraugus County, Mr. Johnson came here in 1846, and opened his land office at Ellicottville. The business of this office is still continued in that village under supervision of his agent, E. D. Northrup, Esq.

In 1851 he removed his family to Ellicottville, where they resided until 1858, when he removed them back to Stratford, although he remained at Ellicottville and retained his residence there until 1862, residing with his son, Gen. S. W. Johnson. He is now living, in his serene old age, at Stratford, Conn.

His long life has been an active one in good works. Of the strictest integrity and widest benevolence, and of an unpretentious manner, he combines the noblest qualities of man,-seeking always the substantial good of all who come within the circle of his acquaintance, rather than the ad- vancement of his own popularity and advantages, or the exer- cise of the power he commands. Few men are more generally beloved and respected than William Samuel Johnson.

AD Scott

The Hon. Allen D. Scott was born at Springville, Erie Co., N. Y., on the 15th day of January, 1831. In his infancy his father, Justus Scott, Esq., removed with his family to the town of Otto, Cattaraugus Co., where he now resides, an extensive and successful farmer. The boyhood years of Judge Scott were spent upon his father's farm, and his education was acquired during the winter months in the neighboring district school,- a school noted for the success of its scholars, and from which had graduated ex-Senator J. P. Darling, ex-Governor Addison C. Gibbs, ex-U. S. Senator Benjamin F. Rice, Hon. Romanzo Bunn, U. S. District Judge; Hon. Henry Van Aernam, mem- ber of Congress, and others not "unknown to fame." Like those who had preceded him in the district school, young Scott's education was finished with a few terms at the old academy at Springville, and a single year at Lima.

After leaving the academy he engaged in teaching for a year or two, and then commenced the study of his profession with Hon. Chester Howe, then county judge of Cattaraugus County, at Ellicottville, and continued and completed his clerkship with Hon. Nelson Cobb, then the county judge, in the year 1857, when he was admitted to the bar, and com- menced practice at Ellicottville. His rise at the bar was rapid. The confidence of the court, the lawyers, and the community in his fidelity and integrity was unlimited, and his learning and conceded ability secured him a fair share of professional patronage. In 1861 he became & member of the law firm of Rice & Scott, at Ellicottville, long a leading and influential law firm in the western part of the State. When Mr. Rice removed from the county, in 1867, Judge Scott suc- ceeded to the business, and formed the firm of Scott & Laidlaw, which, until Mr. Scott was elected judge, was a leading and influential law firm at Ellicottville, well known and respected throughout the State.

In politics, Judge Scott was educated a Whig, and became a member and supporter of the Republican party on its organ- ization in 1855, and has since been one of its most trusted, influential, and zealous supporters. He was twice elected sur- rogate of the county, and served one year under appointment of the Governor, when the office was first separated from the office of county judge; and in the fall of 1860 he was appointed county judge by Governor Morgan, to serve out the unexpired term of Judge Cobb, who had removed from the county.

In the fall of 1869 he was nominated as a candidate for the Senate by the Republican convention of the Thirty-second

District, composed of the counties of Chautauqua and Cattar- augus, but under circumstances that clearly indicated that the campaign was to be of unusual interest and severity. He boldly bid defiance to his opponents, and was rewarded by a majority of 4790 over his competitor, Hon. Jonas K. Button, the most worthy and personally popular man in the Democratic party in the district, a majority greater than that of General Sigel, who headed and led the State ticket. In the Senate he was a member of the leading and important committee on finance, and was an able and active worker on the floor of the Senate chamber. He is now the capable, efficient, and upright judge of Cattaraugus County, to which office he was elected for the term of six years in the fall of 1876.

In person and manners, Mr. Scott is stately, commanding, of fine presence, and gentle and affable demeanor toward all men ; an attendant of the Presbyterian Church ; and in con- duct without reproach in all the relations of life.

The county of Cattaraugus is indebted to Judge Scott, more than to any other one of its citizens, for the successful term- ination of the long struggle in carrying to completion the great thoroughfare, so valuable to the county and to so many of its inhabitants, the Rochester and State Line Railway. With personal friends he had effected the organization of the railroad corporation known as the Cattaraugus Railway Com- pany, of which he is and has been for several years the presi- dent, and by a skillful use of that corporation he has been enabled to bring to a successful issue a combination with the Rochester and State Line Railway Company, which became a great and leading thoroughfare from its opening. Few do or can know the cares, the anxiety, the responsibility, and the labor which bear down, oppress, and wear out a man who puts himself at the head of such an enterprise, and can feel, as each day brings its disappointments and discouragements, that suc- cess will be the success of the community, but defeat or failure will be his alone. Judge Scott can tell, for he has been in that man's position.

The man who opens the avenues of wealth and prosperity to the people of a county is worthy the fullest honors the county can bestow. It was the untiring zeal, the labor, the patience, the unyielding hope and faith of Judge Scott in the final suc- cess of the enterprise, that secured its completion.

The people of Cattaraugus should not forget the fact, nor the respect and honor due to him who has served them so faithfully and so successfully.

The Hon. ADDISON G. RICE was born at Richfield Springs, Otsego Co., N. Y., Dec. 29, 1821, and removed with his parents to the town of Otto (now East Otto) in May, 1826, and from that time until the fall of 1867 was a resident of this county.

Facilities for an education in those days in this locality were limited, but he availed himself of all that were to be had. He attended the district school, and then a few terms at the Springville Academy, and was taught at home by his father, who was then regarded as among the best educated men in the county.

In 1841 he commenced the study of his profession with the Hon. William P. Angel, at Ellicottville, and was ad- mitted to the Court of Common Pleas in June, 1843, and at the October term, in 1846, was admitted to practice in the Supreme Court. He commenced the practice of his profession at Ellicottville, where he continued to reside until he left the county.

By his untiring energy and ability he became thoroughly learned in the law and well skilled in the practice, and almost immediately after his admission to the bar, he became a leading and successful lawyer, and took a high position as an advocate and counselor, often meeting in the courts of his own and adjoining counties in large and important cases as opposing counsel, such men as Judge Martin Grover, of Allegany County, Judge Hiram Gray, of Chemung, Judge John L. Talcott, of Buffalo, and others equally learned and celebrated in the profession. No client of his ever had reason to complain that his case was not well conducted. During the last ten years of his residence in

the county, he was emphatically a leader in the profession, often employed by other attorneys as the leading counsel in the trial of the most important cases. He now resides in Buffalo, and stands in the front rank of the lawyers of the State.

In politics, like his father, the Hon. Elijah A. Rice, of East Otto, he was a Whig, and prominent in the counsels of the leaders of the old Whig party, and became a Re- publican with the organization of that party in 1855. He was a delegate to the first Republican National Con- vention in 1856; was a member of the Assembly in 1862, in which he served as chairman of the committee on Claims, and a member of the Ways and Means, and of the com- mittee on the revision of the Rules and Joint Rules of the two houses.

In person he is tall, large, well-proportioned, and of commanding and dignified presence, and endowed with great physical powers, and his forty years' life in Cat- taraugus in his earlier days not only proved, but developed in him powers of endurance found only among the pioneer settlers of new countries.

Shortly after he was admitted to the bar, he was married to Miss Ellen R. McCoy, and they have three children,- one son and two daughters.

Mr. Rice is a man of varied learning, of comprehensive views, of great force of character, of sound judgment, of strict integrity, resolute and determined, and unyielding in the cause of right as he understands it. A true friend, large-hearted, and possessed of a genial, kind, and generous nature.
