A brick kiln was established at a very early day by William Ensign and Jonathan S. Patti- son, on the farm of the latter, on lot 16, and was operated periodically until about 1855, when it was discontinued. The house on the Pattison homestead, and the Baptist church at Forestville, were built of brick from this

kiln. The main thoroughfare between the east and the great west made a large amount of business for taverns and stages, but upon the completion of the Buffalo & State Line rail- road in 1852 the stages ceased to run and the taverns lost most of their custom. The facili- ties for travel increased rapidly from the com- pletion of the New York & Erie railroad in I851 down to 1892, when the Dunkirk & Sil- ver Creek railroad was built, a double track line. afterwards incorporated into the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern. The Nickel Plate and the Pennsylvania were completed in 1882 and the old Lake Shore double tracked in 1872. A telegraph line was built along the Main road in 1847-two wires twisted together like fence wire. Another line was built along the north side of the same road in 1848. There are now over five hundred miles of telegraph wire in the town of Sheridan alone. The New York & Pennsylvania Telephone was built along the Lake road in 1889. and in 1892 a loop was built by public subscription to the Center. The Hanover line comes from Silver Creek and the Home line from Fredonia.
During the great oil excitement in Western Pennsylvania in 1864. a good many farmers sold their land for fabulous prices and came to Chautauqua county, and invested their money in some of the best farms. Among those who came to Sheridan, was Samuel A. Patter- son from near Titusville, who purchased about one thousand acres for which he paid $109.000.
Sheridan, although not having a lake port. has been very prolific of sailors. More than twenty have been masters of some of the finest and largest vessels on the lakes. Probably the first was Captain Zephaniah Perkins, who was attached to the lake marine in the War of ISI2. He was captain of the schooner "King- bird." running between Buffalo and Dunkirk in 1815. In 1831. George Reed. at the age of twenty-five, was captain of the schooner "Bea- ver." In 1836.

On the farm owned by John Collins, at wha was formerly Kensington, a monument wa unveiled on the lot on which Francis Webbe built his house. the dedication of the monu ment being a part of Sheridan's centennia celebration, held August 31, 1904. This monu ment marks the spot on which was the firs white man's habitation within the town 0 Sheridan. The inscription reads: "Site c First Settlement in Town of Sheridan. b. Francis Webber. Aug .. 1804. Erected Aug 25. 190 ;. " The monument rests on a sab

stantial base and is enclosed by an iron railing. Addresses were made by George E. McLaury, W. J. Doty, Obed Edson and S. Frederick Nixon at the monument, and Sheridan's cen- tennial was properly celebrated.
Sherman-It was not until April 7, 1832, that the town of Sherman began its separate exist- ence. having previously been a part of the town of Mina. The town comprises the second town- ship and fourteenth range as described in the Holland Land Company's survey ; covers an area of exactly 36 square miles and is bounded on the north by the town of Chautauqua, east by Harmony, south by Clymer and west by Mina. The Pennsylvania railroad crosses the town north and south; Sherman, an incor- porated village with a population of about I.coo, being the only settlement of consequence in the town and the only railroad station. The population of the town in 1915 (State census) was: Citizens, 1,695 ; aliens, 37. French creek, soon after taking its rise in Harmony, enters Sherman and crosses the town in a westerly direction to the village of Sherman, then turns and flowing a southwesterly course passes into the town of Mina on its way to the river. Chautauqua creek rests in the northwestern part of Sherman and soon passes into the town of Chautauqua on its northward way to Lake Erie.

The Holland Land Company's books contain no records of later sales in this town. The un- sold lands passed in 1836 to the new pro- rietors, W. H. Seward and others.
The settlement of this region. once begun, vas rapid. Tradition says that the first settler
was Dearing Dorman, with his wife Huldah (Perkins) Dorman, and little son Amosa. In 1823 Mr. Dorman built a log house twelve by sixteen feet, with a roof of elm bark, on the town line road, on land later owned by Theo- dore Skinner. There, November 28, 1823, the first white child was born, Archibald Dorman. Mr. Dorman, with Elisha Eades, built log houses, Eades' being across the road in the town of Chautauqua. They returned to Ba- tavia, one hundred eighteen miles, by the route they had to travel. and were moved with an ox-team. Mr. Dorman raised the first acre of wheat in the town, thirty bushels to the acre. He planted his corn by cutting into the earth and pressing the soil down upon the kernels, as the Indians did.
Alonzo Weed built the first sawmill, on land owned by Lester R. Dewey. The first mar- riage was Lester R. Dewer, Sr., and Fanny Patterson, Otis Skinner, the first justice of the town, officiating, March 23, 1825.
There is a question regarding the first death. It is said a Mrs. Arnold was the first to die, and was buried on the farm later owned by James Upton. The general impression is that the first death was that of an Englishman who died at Elliott Smith's. On Smith's lot in the Sherman cemetery is a grave, and on the headstone these words, "John Walling, a native of England, died July. 1832. supposed to be about thirty years of age." The first doctor was Thomas Green.
In the winter of 1828-29 Otis Skinner taught school in his house. There is no record of any school prior to this. About this time Lydia Tanner taught summer school in a log cabin near now Willard street in Sherman village. The first church was the Congregational church (now Presbyterian ), June 23. 1827, and was called the First Congregational Church of Mina. Meetings were held at the homes of William Williams, Dennis Hart. Elisha Woodruff, and other convenient places. The church was built on what is known as Presbyterian Hill, on land given by Charles Hawley, Sr., and was dedi- cated March 7. 1833: sermon by Rev. D. D. Gregory. The first pastor, Justin Marsh, came from Connecticut, and was installed in Octo- ber, 1828. In the fall of 1845 the church was moved to Sherman Village.
The first Baptist church was formed August 29, 1827. two and one-half miles south of the village, Rev. Orange Spicer officiating. Meet- ings were held in dwellings and schoolhouses until about 1842, then in the unfinished church
234
CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY AND ITS PEOPLE
in the village, which was completed in 1844. Rev. Orange Spicer was the first pastor.
The Free Baptist Church of Waits Corners, in the southeast part of the town, was organ- ized about 1835. First pastor was Rev. Levi Rexford, first clerk Dexter Stebbins, and first deacon Loren Stebbins.
The Methodists had a class in 1832, and the first sermon was delivered in the home of Otis Miller, by Rev. Darius Williams. The Miller home was their meeting place till 1836, when they occupied a room in Kipp & Miller's card- ing mill. Their church was built in 1848.
The first Universalist church of Sherman was organized in 1842. The first pastor was Rev. Linus Paine. Selling their church, which was moved away, the members built their pres- ent church in 1868.
The first gristmills were Aldrich's and Treat's. Aldrich's was on French creek, two miles below Sherman village. Treat's was on Chautauqua creek, about one-half mile from where Murray Harrington later lived. About 1838 Benjamin H. Kipp, Otis and Elijah Miller built the gristmill later owned by Bates and Hillburg in the village. Josiah R. Keeler had, it is thought, the first store, about three miles south of the village, on his farm, later owned by Susan Hemstreet. James Barker had at an early date a store in a small wooden building where the Hotel Sherman now stands. Jere- miah Fields kept, it is thought, the first tavern, in the house later owned and occupied by James Wood.
The first town meeting was held in 1833. Otis Skinner was the first supervisor, and he held the office during the years 1833-35-38.
Of the early settlers, Dearing Dorman was born in New Haven, Conn., December 20, 1797, came to Batavia in 1804, and to Sherman about 1823; married Huldah Perkins in 1818; had twelve children. Mrs. Dorman died in 1866, and he married the widow of Addison Elder- kin, maiden name Mary Hunter.
Lester R. Dewey, Sr., was born in Herkimer county, July, 1802, married Fanny Patterson, March 23, 1825, settled in Sherman in 1824; had eight children. His wife died and he married again. He was supervisor in 1850. Hiram N. Gleason, born in Farmington, Conn., April 17, 1800 : married Sarah Root; settled in Sherman in 1824. His wife died, and he married Abigal Hill, of Mina. Had seven children by first wife, two by second. Richard Buss, born in Eng- land, settled in Sherman in 1826, died in 1861; had seven children. Charles Hawley, Sr., born in Connecticut, April 10, 1778; married Clara Allen, October 8, 1812; settled in Sherman in
1825; died December 11, 1844; had three chil- dren. Benjamin H. Kip, born in Johnstown, New York, April 27, 1797; married Esther Mil- ler, at Newark, New York, February 23, 1823; settled in Sherman in 1832; four children. Wil- liam Mayborn, born in England, May 19, 1786; settled in Sherman in 1825. His wife died April 24, 1827, leaving six children. In 1828 he mar- ried Harriet Palmer, of New York City. He died in 1874, leaving twelve children. Loren Park, born in Wells, Vermont, 1804; settled in Sher- man in 1825. His first wife, Adaline Heath, died, leaving him nine children. His second marriage was to the widow of Benjamin Ross, maiden name Samantha Heath. Ruel Pelton, born in Oneida county, New York; settled in Sherman in May, 1827. Both he and his wife, of the same age, died in 1851. They had four- teen children. Otis Skinner, born in Norwich, New York, October 20, 1799; married Sylance Randall, June 9, 1822; settled in Sherman in 1823. They had ten children. Loren Stebbins, born in Conway, Mass., October 27, 1804; set- tled in Sherman, 1828; married Eunice Willard, in Livingston county; six children. Joel D. Cornish, born in Otsego county ; married Cath- erine Van Allen ; settled in Sherman, January, 1826; seven children.
Samuel T. Hawley, who had a business career of sixty years in Sherman, sold out to Henry Taggart. He survived two fires and was con- ducting business in the principal block in the village. He was handicapped by deafness. His two boys and two girls were reared and edu- cated, his sons engaging in mercantile business in Kansas. "Uncle Sam," as he was affection- ately called by the townspeople, was eighty-one years old when he retired.
The Union Sepulchral Society of Sherman and Chautauqua was organized in 1836. Later in the same year Alanson and Polly Weed deeded to the society ninety-eight square rods of land, being the northeast corner of the pres- ent cemetery. A few burials were made there before the purchase. In 1848 Lester R. and Fannie Dewey conveyed 123 6-10 rods to the society, and again in 1860-61 additions were made through conveyance by Mr. Dewey and Joseph Skinner. Additions and improvements have been made since as required.
In August, 1865, a great flood damaged the town. Two dams above and one at the end of the village went out, and nearly every bridge in the town. A more destructive flood, the worst in its history, swept the town in the eve. ning of August 24, 1892, the iron railroad bridge and all the bridges from the head of French creek to the Mina line, except an iron one a

Sherman Center. Much damage was done to business and private property.
In May, 1832, Benjamin H. Kip and Otis and Elijah Miller bought the land where Sherman village now stands, built a sawmill, and in 1833 a carding and cloth-dressing mill. Otis Miller built a blacksmith shop and a tannery. These three men were the founders of the village first called Millerville, and afterwards Kipville ; later the name was changed to Sherman. The heads of the first twelve families were: Benjamin H. Kip, Elijah Miller, Otis Miller, James Barker, George Vaness, Lucius Cook, George Hart, Kiler Dean, Alanson Patterson, Pitts Simmons, Hiram A. Case and Dr. Thomas Green.
Sherman is a prosperous town, and the vil- lage rivals the town in its enterprise and prog- ress. Three-fourths of the land area of the town is under cultivation and perhaps 75 miles of wagon road, traverse the town. There are in Sherman five principal factories and ten small ones. The important industries are C. E. Cobb, lumber ; Klein & Co., evaporated apples ; the Mohawk Condensed Milk Co .; the Pow- dered Milk Co., of America, and the Sherman Canning Co. (canned vegetables). The village stores are modern and with those modern utili- :ies, electric lights and telephones, a strong Dank, the fraternal orders, social societies and churches, life in Sherman is very pleasant. The village is well built and far above the average n the number and size of its brick blocks.
The first newspaper in the village was the 'Western New Yorker," started in 1853. The "Chautauqua News" was established March 22, 1876, by E. W. Hoag, and bought in December, 879, by C. E. Sheldon, who conducted it until October 16, 1918. At that time "The News" vas sold to the Dorman Printing Company .M. L. and L. B. Dorman) and consolidated with the "Sherman Advance." "The Advance" vas founded October 6. 1916, by the Dorman Printing Company and successfully published intil October 16, 1918, when the two papers vere consolidated under the Dorman owner- hip.
Sherman was incorporated a village, Septem- >er 8. 1890. The first municipal election was ield October 3, 1890, the first officials being L. Thayer, Francis A. Ellis, Charles E. Cobb, rustees : Henry F. Young, treasurer ; John Mc- Kean, collector ; Thomas J. Newell was ap- pointed village clerk.
In 1865 a disastrous fire swept away the post- office, town clerk's office and all town records. n 1869 many business buildings on Main and liller streets were destroyed, brick blocks then ucceeding the wooden ones burned.
The supervisors of Sherman since the erec- tion of the town are: Otis Skinner, 1833 ; B. H. Kip, 1834; Otis Skinner, 1835; Loren Peck, 1836-37; Otis Skinner, 1838; Platt S.

The leading societies and orders of Sherman are the Masonic lodge and chapter of the East- ern Star ; lodge of Odd Fellows and Rebekahs, the Maccabees, Ancient Order of United Work- men, Patrons of Husbandry, Grand Army of the Republic, Woman's Relief Corps, Woman's Christian Temperance Union and many church and benevolent organizations.
The assessed valuation of real estate in the town (22,980 acres) for the year 1918 was $938,762 ; its full value, $1, 195.875.
Stockton-The town of Stockton, formed from Chautauqua, February 9, 1821, was named in honor of Richard Stockton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. In 1850 the township was enlarged by the annexation of a tier and a half of lots, twelve in number, from the northern part of Ellery. Stockton includes also one tier of lots taken from township 4, range 13, on its west side, and contains an area of 29,037 acres. Its surface is a rolling upland. The soil is a loam, clay in the upland and sandy in the valleys. The principal part of Cassadaga Lake lies in the northeast corner of Stockton. Bear Lake is partly in Stockton, also, about three miles west of Cassadaga Lake, and both extend north into the town of Pomfret. Their outlets are Cassadaga and Bear creek, respec- tively, which come together in the southeastern part of the town, continuing southeasterly across the northeast corner of Ellery, and form, just within the west line of Gerry, a junction with Mill creek. Cassadaga creek, thus aug- mented, pursues a crooked course through parts of Gerry, Ellicott and Poland, and gives its
236
CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY AND ITS PEOPLE
waters to the Conewango creek in the south of Poland. Thence the stream is known as the Conewango river, which flows southward into Pennsylvania and empties into the Allegheny river.
The scenery at Cassadaga Lake is inexpressi- bly beautiful and fascinating and in its pure free air a sanitarium has been established. The waters of Bear and Cassadaga lakes are well stocked with fish and a large deposit of shell marl underlies the ancient bed of Cassadaga Lake. The Dunkirk, Allegheny Valley & Pitts- burgh railroad traverses the town with stations at Cassadaga Village and Moons. Other vil- lages are Stockton, formerly Delanti, Denton, Centralia, Burnhams and South Stockton.
