VILLAGES AND HAMLETS.
The largest settlement in the town is POPEVILLE, located in the northeastern part of the town, on Chateaugay River, and near the north end of the Lower Chatcaugay Lake. Settlements were made here at an early day, and iu 1825 Roswell A. Wecd had a large saw-mill there. It is now principally occupied by the iron company's works, which are referred to in another place. An excellent school also exists here. The post-office is known as the Chateaugay Lake Post-Office, and George W. Ripley fills the position of postmaster. The office formerly existed at Brainard- ville.
BRAINARDVILLE, sometimes called Crompville, lies a short distance northeast of Popeville, and contains a store, Methodist church, and a number of dwelling-houses.
A post-office was established at Belmont Centre in the spring of 1879, of which Sherman Hedding is the post- master.
EDUCATIONAL.
FORMATION OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
Aug. 17, 1833 .- " Resolved, unanimously, That District No. 1 shall consist of lots Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 21, 22, 23,- 24, 25, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, a part of fractional Dis- triet No. 2, to consist of lots No. 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 16, 17, 18, in the town of Belmont. District No. 3 to consist of the remainder of township No. 8."
This was the first attempt at the regular establishment of schools. Prior to that time the school affairs of the section were regulated by the town of Chateaugay. In 1848 there were seven school districts in town, with 168 scholars, entitled to draw publie money. Of this there was $163.45 ; town funds, $107.64; State funds, $55.81.
The first school in the town existed at Chateaugay Lake, the next in Distriet No. 2, and the building was built on the farm that James Smith first settled on. Mrs. Elijah M. Hedding was an early teacher in this school.
At Chateaugay Lake, or Popeville, is now a graded school with two departments, which is in charge of Misscs Rachel Burt and Alice H. Myers. The school has an aver- age attendance of about 100, and the building was erccted in 1876, at a cost of $2500.
The district system prevails in the town. In 1875 there were 306 males and 310 females in attendance upon them.

Elijah M Heading
ELIJAH M. HEDDING
is a son of Marcus and Hannah (Sherman) Hedding, and was born in West Chazy, Clinton Co., N. Y., on July 31, 1807. His grandfather was James Hedding, and a brother of the well-known Bishop Hedding, of . the Methodist Episcopal Church. . A fuller account of the family is given in the biography of Asa Styles, in the town of Chazy, this volume.
Marcus Hedding married Hannah Sherman, and had five children, viz. : Elijah M., Nancy, George, Charles, and Ruth, most of whom attained years of maturity, and reared families. He settled in the town of Belmont, Franklin Co., in the year 1829, first taking up two hundred acres of land in that then wild region, and sub- sequently adding to it, being among the first settlers of the town. He was a man of considerable prominence, a member of the Whig party, and filled various public offices, among which were those of justice of the peace and supervisor. He died about 1870, nearly eighty- four years of age. "His wife died in 1841.
Elijah M. Hedding passed his earlier years on the paternal farm, working for some time also on other farms by the month, and engaging, besides, in quarrying stone for the Ogdensburgh and Lake Champlain Rail- road. By constant industry, and by the practice of 'much self-denial, he subsequently became a large land- holder in Belmont, and one of the foremost and most influential farmers of the town. At one time he owned nearly one thousand acres of land in town, but has deeded each of his sons a farm, leaving him about three hundred acres of productive land for his home farm.
Republican in politics, he has filled many offices of re- sponsibility and trust, was a justice of the peace for eight years, town clerk a good many years, assessor, commissioner, etc. He is a member of the Methodist Church, and was a steward in the church for twenty-five years. He occupies a substantial and attractive dwelling which he erected twenty-four years ago, and has twenty- three grandchildren.
On Dec. 20, 1831, Mr. Hedding was united in mar- riage to Emeroy N., daughter of John Lewis, who came from Middlebury, Vt., in the year 1812, and settled southeast of the village of Malone. His wife was Nancy Moses, of Malone, by whom he had a family of seven children, all of whom attained years of maturity ; John and Millington Lewis are residents of Belmont. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Hedding have been eleven, viz. : Eleanor M., Adeline M., Lorette H., Mar- cus L., Charles M., Sherman J. (two of them, one dying in infancy), Elijah M., and Elijah. Two chil- dren died unnamed. Eleanor M. married Merritt Huntley, and is dead; Adeline M. became the wife of Lafayette Havens, and resides in Colorado ; Lorette H: is the wife of William Randall, of Plattsburgh; Mar- cus L. married Roxena Southwick, of Mooers, N. Y., and resides in town ; Charles M. married Sophrona Rood, of Mooers, and resides in town; Sherman J. married Carrie Williamson, of Belmont, and resides in town; Elijah M. is dead; Elijah married Carrie Simonds, of Beekmantown, Clinton Co., and resides with his parents.

TOWN OF BELMONT.
CHURCHIES.
The Methodist denomination were the first to hold regu- lar services in the town. Preaching occurred with some degree of regularity as carly as 1830 at Chateaugay Lakc. A Methodist society was formed quite early, and over which Rev. W. C. Smith was stationed as pastor in 1857-58. Some of the pastors since have been Rev. Alonzo Wells, in 1859; Rev. Asa- L. Smith, in 1860-61 ; Rev. Stanley F. Danforth, in 1863-64; Rev. Jonathan B. Hammond, in 1865-66; and Rev. Squire Boyd, in 1867-68. The society was subsequently divided, and Brainardville and vicinity is now a preaching station connected with the Chateaugay charge, and Belinont Centre with the Burke charge. At the former place is a rather ancient-looking church edifice.
Catholic worship was established in the town at quite an early period. Regular services are now held at the lake by Rev. Father Edmund M. De Pauw, pastor of St. Patrick's Church, Chateaugay.
A Presbyterian society was organized in Belmont in the ycar 1868, and a church was formally organized on Feb. 8, 1871. Prior to this period the members of the denomina- tion in the town were attached to the church at Malone. A church edifice was built the year previous, and was formally dedicated Nov. 9, 1870. It is situated in the northwest part of the town. Rev. Andrew M. Millar, of Malone, has had the pastoral care of the church since its organization, and was largely instrumental in its establish- ment.
The elders of the church have been,-1871, Henry P. Orcutt, Buel Foote, John Richey, O. W. Moody ; the dea- cons, 1871, George Taylor, John Reed ; 1873, Lucius Smith ; 1879, George Smith.
The church has at present a membership of 89; the Sabbath-school numbers 79; superintendent, George W. Richey.
BURIAL-PLACES.
There are several small burial-places in the town, of which those that have been longest in use are located at Brainard- ville, Popeville, and West Belmont. The latter was laid out a quarter of a century ago.
A number of curious
" EAR-MARKS"
used by the carly inhabitants to distinguish their sheep are recorded in the town records. It required great powers of invention to fix upon a novel and peculiar mark. A sample of those recorded are the following :
" Joseph B. Cogswell's mark for his sheep is a slit in the right ear.
" Paul Merrill's mark was one hole in the right car."
And so they continue with an endless variety and inter- mixture of slits, holes, crosses, half-pennies, and other de- viees.
INDUSTRIAL PURSUITS.
The industrial pursuits of the town have been limited chiefly to agriculture and timber cutting, although a num- ber of mills of different kinds have existed in the town.
Roswell A. Wced had one of the carliest saw-mills in the town, at Chateaugay Lake, about the year 1825. John B. Jackson preceded him. After operating it several years he built a large gang-mill, and successfully operated it for many years.
Another early saw-mill stood on Little Trout River, on lot No. 25, and was operated by Apollos Wing.
Gilman Goodwin built a saw-mill on Trout River during the war of the Southern Rebellion. A few years ago he built a large steam saw-mill in its stead, but which is not in operation in 1879.
Soon after the erection of the Goodwin mill, Orcutt & Co. erected a saw-mill and stave-factory on Big Trout River, which is in full operation. The firm also make a great deal of butter.
Patterson & Douglass operated a starch-factory near Chateaugay Lake several years ago.
In the spring of 1875, George and Francis W. Winkley erected a large butter-factory on a small brook that passed through a portion of their farm. It is still in operation, though not running full, in 1879.
The largest industrial enterprise in the town, and one which has most conduced to the material development of the town, and had the most decided effect upon its growth and prosperity, is what were formerly the Belmont Iron- Works, at Popeville.
Operations were first begun here by Pope, Williams & Co., of Plattsburgh, in September, 1874. During the two years succeeding, the construction account of the firm amounted to many thousand dollars. A ten-fire Catalan forge was erected, supplied with coal from 19 coal-kilns, and using ore from the famous Chateaugay ore-bed ; and constant additions were made.
On March 15, 1877, the works passed to the Chateaugay Iron Company, and became an adjunct to the large enter- prises of that company. Six additional fires have been placed in the works, and 12 more coal-kilns erected, making 31 in all. Fifty men are connected with the iron-manu- facturc. Besides these, 100 additional men are employed in other departments, and an army of wood-choppers, dis- tributed over the 40,000 acres of land owned by the com- pany, swells the number in the winter season to 500 men. In the winter of 1878-79, 27,000 cords of wood were gotten out.
The company have placed a steamer on the lake, by which the ore and coal is towed seven miles, by water. Besides the forge, the company have at Belmont a large circular saw-mill, to which a clapboard-, shingle- and lath-mill is attached, and an excellent store, which has already been referred to.
The works are in charge of John Il. Moffitt, superin- tendent, who has been the efficient and courteous manager since they came into the possession of the Chateangay Iron Company. The stock is owned by the same persons who own the stock of the Chateaugay Ore Company.
MILITARY.
The military history of the town is necessarily limited to the war of 1861-65. The town manifested the most stead- fast adherence to the Union cause during that trying period,
