CHAPTER XXXIX.

PLATTSBURGH-(Continued).

The Iron Interests-The First Forge-The Forge at Morrisonville- The Forges at Cadyville and Elsinore-Old Works below Cadyville -Nichols, Hull & Co .- The Norton Iron-Works-The Saranac Mills, etc.

THE first forge in the town was built in 1798. The forge at Morrisonville was built in 1828 by Heman Smith and Josiah Wilcox. It was 50 by 60 feet on the ground, and had two. fires. The dam was located directly at the foot of the big hill. Their coal-house was also immense, being three stories high and 80 feet long. The establish- ment was sold as soon as completed to Messrs. James Bailey and C. Halsey, of Plattsburgh village. Morrisonville was then the most important place on the Saranac River above Plattsburgh. There was a large ashery belonging to Bailey & Halsey ; a three-story woolen-mill belonging to Myron Reed ; a trip-hammer shop belonging to Zenus Parrish ; three large saw-mills, one belonging to Smith & Wilcox, and the other two owned by Griffin & Wait. But alas for Morrisonville ! The freshet of 1830 swept it all away,- swept forge, coal-house, ashery, woolen-mill, saw-mills, trip- hammer shop, the bridge across the Saranac, and all that pertained thereto. As an indication of the force of the flood, the forge-hammer and anvil were found at Treadwell's mills, three miles below. That ended the iron business at Morrisonville.

NORTON IRON-WORKS.

The first manufactory on the north side of the river at the upper bridge was a six-fire Catalan forge, built by Smyrna Hobart and Wm. H. Hedges, in 1845, and subse- quently Mr. Tate built a pyroligneous-acid manufactory in connection with the forges. This firm conducted the busi- ness about two years, when Hedges retired, and Weston came

in with Hobart. Subsequently, Mr. Merchant, of Schuyler Falls, operated the works, and it died on his hands.

In 1861, O. A. Tefft built the present saw-inill on the south side of the river, below the road, and in 1863 he built a saw-mill at the north side of the bridge, above the road, which was burned in 1872, the site of which is now occu- pied by Norton's shingle-mill. During the winter of 1872- 73, Mr. Christopher Norton, an enterprising and influential citizen of Plattsburgh, erected a six-fire Catalan forge ou the site of the Hobart & Hedges forge. This was con- dueted until 1877, when the present works were com- menced, and on March 7, 1878, completed, and the first blast was sent into the furnace. These works were earricd on by Mr. Norton until 1879, when they were leased by Nailor & Co., who now operate them.

CADYVILLE AND ELSINORE.

In 1833, Heman and Cyrus Cady built a forge at the south end of the dam now used for the Ellis saw-inill. It was run by Stephen Turner and Ezra Tucker, and was eventually abandoned.

In 1851 a forge was built at Elsinore by Amasa Moore and R. A. Gillman. The site is now occupied by Dutton's shingle-mill.

THE OLD WORKS BELOW CADYVILLE.

In 1836, F. L. C. Sailly and Henry K. Averill, father of James Averill, of Champlain, and H. K. Averill, of Plattsburgh, under the firm-name of Sailly & Averill, erected a forge on the spot now occupied by the enter- prising manufacturing firm of Nichols, Hull & Co. This forge is not only founded on a rock, but in a rock. In order to procure a suitable location a large exeavation was made in the solid rock. . It was while blasting here that Jerry Grogan, well known in Plattsburgh, lost his sight from the effects of a premature explosion.

In 1837, on the Saranac River, extending from above Saranac Hollow to below Cadyville, Sailly & Averill's forge was destroyed by fire. But another and larger one rose from the ashes in 1838. It was a double forge. It had two fires and a hammer in one end, run by Mr. Sailly, and two fires and a hammer in the other end, run by Mr. Av- erill. The property afterwards went into the hands of Charles Averill, brother of H. K. Averill, and was run by him several years. The property next went into possession of Hayden, Nichols & Co., who tore out the old forge, inade larger excavations, and ereeted a large works at an expense of probably $30,000. In connection with a four-fire forge they had a large rolling-mill, for making wagon-axles, etc. The iron was taken hot from the hammer to the furnaees and rcheated, and from there earricd to the rolls. In this rapid progress there was a great saving of heat and conse- quent expense.

O. A. Burton finally purchased the entire establishment. The rolling-mill was finally allowed to run down.

NICHOLS, HULL & CO.

In 1862 the property was bought by C. G. Hull, Esq., and the next year a copartnership was formed between Mr. Hull, E. L. Nichols, and John W. Lynde, under the firm-

name of Nichols, Hull & Co. A new forge of four fires, and a new dam, bulk-head, and flume were built, and every- thing put in first-elass order. Their store was burned Jan. 18, 1872, and the following spring a new building was erected for store and office, which is very convenient, roomy, and attractive. They have erected numerous tenement- houses. Mr. Hull has a fine residence, and the whole aspect of the place is changed, and produces a decidedly favorable impression.

Mr. Hull has the exclusive superintendence of the works.

Niehols, Hull & Co. manufacture C No. 1 slabs for boiler- plates, also blooms and refined billets from superior ore. Their facilities are good. They own 2000 acres of wood- land within from four to six miles of the forge. They have five immense kilns holding one hundred cords each, which is about three times the average size, on Rand Hill, five miles distant. They have three kilns at the forge, supplied by wood purchased in large or small quantities from citizens.

On the night of the 28th of September, 1878, this forge was totally destroyed by fire, ineluding the bellows-house and everything connected therewith. In twenty-one days it was thoroughly rebuilt, including iron roof and all mod- ern applianees, and the fires again lighted.

THE SARANAC MILLS.

These mills, which oceupy the site of the old stone mill, were commeneed in 1876 and completed in 1877. The main building is a neat brick structure 50 by 80 feet in depth, with a wing of the same dimensions. It is three stories in height above ground and two stories in the base- ment. During the erection of the mill the mill-ditch which conducts the water from the dam under the street to the mill was repaired and improved at a large expense.

This flouring-mill has ten run of stone, and is furnished with all the modern improvements for the manufacture of the finest quality of flour.

Under the old process from 300 to 400 barrels of flour can be made each day with the eight sets of stones ; under thic new process about 200 barrels. Each set of buhrs is run by a separate whecl, and is entirely independent. There are for the use of the mill twelve water-wheels, of cast iron, about thirty inches in diameter. Six of them were made by Wells & Van Wormer, of Glen's Falls, and six by Hart- well & Myers, of Plattsburgh.

While one great object of the mill is to make the highest grades of winter and spring wheat-flour, the mill is also intended to meet all the demands for custom grinding of every description, and, as will be observed, especial arrange- ments have been made for the important department of provender grinding.

The general plans and outlines of this establishment origi- nated with Mr. W. W. Hartwell, the general manager, who also made all the contracts for building, finishing, and fur- nishing.

Mr. James H. Totman was the architeet of the building. He also superintended the putting in of the water-wheels and lower gearing and machinery, a very intricate part of the process of mill-building. Mr. William Mitchell, a superior millwright, was his principal assistant.

Mr. E. S. Winslow's mechanical genius has frequently

172

been brought into requisition, and the intricate job of prop- crly connecting the mill-ditch with the flume was left en- tirely to his supervision.

The mill machinery proper, consisting of the buhrs, and the machinery used in the process of manufacturing flour, etc., including all the modern inventions and improve- ments, also the light castings, was put in by the celebrated firm of John T. Noye & Son, of Buffalo, N. Y. They fur- nished their plans and drawings through their popular mill- architect, Mr. Ira Westcott, who it is believed has no supc- rior as a mill-architect in this country, not excepting his co-worker and estecmed friend, the well-known John Web- ster, of Western fame. Their millwright, Mr. John Moore, of Lockport, a superior workman, superintended putting in the machinery and constructing the internal part of the mill.

The mill is furnished with an elevator, which supplies a want heretofore severely felt by the company, as they have each year bcen obliged to hire large quantities of grain stored in the elevators at Chicago, Milwaukee, Toledo, Og- densburgh, and elsewhere at a heavy expense. This ele- vator has a capacity for raising about 1100 bushels of grain an hour, and will store about 55,000 bushels.

While considerable money has been invested in this new mill, involving a heavy interest and increase of taxation, the advantages to counterbalance this are many and appar- ent. The concentration of their business, which was before distributed between three or four points, the office at one place, one mill near the lake, and another a mile distant, is an important item. The drawing and handling of grain was another, which has heretofore involved an expense and loss of thousands of dollars each year. Horse flesh will now be chiefly dispensed with, as cars on a side-track will deliver the merchant grain and receive the flour and other products. The facilities for storing grain have already been mentioned. Last, but not least, is the latest improvement for economizing in the manufacture of flour and ability to produce the finest grades, competing with all parts of the country in this regard.

This establishment is in all respects a representative in- stitution, and one which the citizens of Plattsburgh may justly point to with pride. The firm consists of W. W. Hartwell, Esq., Mr. G. W. Hartwell, and Mr. E. S. Win- slow.

CONFLAGRATIONS .*

FROM 1814, when the court-house and various buildings were burned by the hot shot from the American batteries while the town was in the possession of the British, to 1872, when the covered bridge and the saw-mill on the north side of the river were destroyed, Plattsburgh has suf- fered severely from the ravages of the Fire King.

On the 16th of May, 1822, the homestead of Judge William Bailey was destroyed by fire, and in the following month the stone grist-mill was burned. The destruction of this mill was a great loss to the village, and $1000 was offered by the citizens and the owner, Judge Platt, for the detec- tion of the incendiary. It was, however, immediately re- built, and in the following November was in operation.

The next fire was that of the burning of the hotel of Joseph I. Green, which occupied the present site of the Cumberland House. In 1832 the old hotel known as the " Ark," kept by Jeremiah McCreedy, which stood at the foot of River Street, was burned ; several other small build- ings also were destroyed at this time.

In 1833 the cotton-factory built by John Palmer, and then occupied by Cole & Richardson, mentioned on a pre- vious page, also the oil-mill and saw-mill at the west end of the dam, were destroyed.

May 17, 1836, the court-house was again burned. July 11, 1841, the stores of Hugh McMurray, corner of Bridge and Charlotte Streets, and G. W. Webster, Bridge Street, were destroyed, and Sept. 2, 1842, the grist-mill was again burned. The Methodist church was destroyed by fire Jan. 30, 1846.

The first extensive conflagration that visited Plattsburgh, when the Fire King secmed to hold a saturnalia in the pleasant village, was on the 10th of August, 1849. It broke out in a small building on the corner of Bridge and Mill Alley (now Water Street), and in four hours the entire business portion of the village was destroyed. Loss about $350,000.

The village remained exempt from a visitation of fire until 1854, when the M. K. Platt residence was destroyed. A block of stores on Margaret Street was burned in August, 1856, and in December, 1861, a large number of buildings on Bridge and Water Streets were destroyed. May 29, 1863, the old Cady homestead and several other buildings were burned, and on June 6th of the following year Fouquet's Hotel, on the cast side of the river, was burned. The Baker Bros.' lumber sheds and the gas-works were destroyed Dec. 3, 1865.

The next and much the largest conflagration that has ever occurred in this village was on the 21st of August, 1867, when nearly the entire business portion of Plattsburgh was again destroyed. The fire swept over nearly the same ground traversed by the flames in 1849. Twenty-one dwellings, 24 stores, the Presbyterian church, carriage- shops, blacksmith- and shoe-shops, saloons, markets, law- offices, Masonic hall, printing-offices, etc., were licked up by the seething flames. The following is the estimate of the losses as computed by the editor of the Sentinel : Mar- kets, $1550; hardware, $59,000 ; printing-offices, $7300 ; dentists, $954; law-offices, libraries, etc., $5200; physi- cians, $5639 ; boots and shoes, $16,500; saloons, $7600; druggists, $10,000 ; photograph galleries, $10,000; cloth- ing, $16,250 ; harness-makers, $800; dry goods, gro- ceries, etc., $102,750 ; miscellancous, $28,912 ; real estate, $192,893; loss by removal, exposure, and theft, $11,013; making a total of $469,861. Insurance, $241,625.

From this time to the present there have been but few fires, the most important of which was the burning of the

MATTHEW M. STANDISH, the subject of this sketch, was the son of Dr. Zachariah Standish, of Granville, Washington Co., N. Y., and Mary Scott, his wife, and was in many respects a very remarkable man, and impressed himself upon the early history of Clinton County.

Dr. Zachariah Standish, of Granville, was the son of Zachariah Standish, who was the son of Zachariah, who was the son of Ebenezer, who was the son of Alexander, the eldest son of the captain of Plymouth, Miles Standish. Alexander Standish married the eldest daughter of John Alden and Priscilla Mullins, so that Matthew Standish was the sixth in lineal descent from both Miles Standish and John Alden.

Dr. Standish died young, and his wife married for her second husband Elijah White, also of Granville, who was one of the most wealthy and enterprising merchants of that day in Northern New York.

Young Matthew came to Plattsburgh before he was twenty-one years of age, and built for Elijah White the large brick house on Broad Street, known as the Ketchum House, and built the large store that was for so many years a landmark at the corner of Broad and Oak Streets, known as the " Standish Store." From that time until his death Mr. Standish was interested directly or indirectly with Plattsburgh and its progress.

At the battle of Plattsburgh, Mr. Standish was actively engaged, he being a lieutenant of cavalry. At the engage- ment at Halsey's Corners, Licut. Standish and Capt. John E. Wool were the only two officers on horseback, and when Capt. Leonard's forces swung into the road, retreating, they filled it up from fence to fence, and Capt. Wool and Lieut. Standish were behind, and received the entire fire of the

English forces. Afterwards, and on the same night, or the next, he rode his horse across the Saranac River, directly under Fort Brown, and rescued an American from under the very guns of the English battery.

In 1818 he married Catherine Phebe Miller, daughter of Dr. John Miller, of Plattsburgh, one of the loveliest of women, and they had the following children : Mary, who married Isaac W. R. Bromley, Esq., a lawyer of considerable note in this county, and afterwards of New York City ; Margaret, who married Hon. A. C. Greene, of Frostburgh, Alleghany Co., Md. ; Henriette, who married Col. Matthias Oliver Davidson, a noted civil engineer, and brother to the poetcsses Lucretia and Margaret Davidson, whose mother, Margaret Miller Davidson, was a cousin to Mrs. Standish ; John Miller, who was a civil engineer, and afterwards a prominent member of the Maryland Legislature, and a cit- izen of Frostburgh, Md .; George Henry, who died at Melbourne, Australia, in early manhood ; Matthew Miles, who was a soldier in the First Minnesota Regiment during the Rebellion, and who is supposed to have been killed at Bull Run ; and Caroline Lesley, who married Hon. Smith M. Weed, of Plattsburgh, N. Y.

Col. Standish built and owned the first water-works in Plattsburgh, and was always alive to any enterprise that would tend to build up this part of the country. He was firm, determined, and manly, at the same time kind and charitable to all, always a friend to the poor, and by them much beloved.

The residence of Mr. and Mrs. Standish, which was noted for its genial hospitality, is still well remembered by many of the citizens of this Statc.

Col. Standish and his wife both died in the summer of 1866, within a few weeks of each other.

gas-works, and the Baker Bros.' lumber-yards, Aug. 22, 1871. The academy was burned Nov. 10, 1871, doubt- less the work of an ineendiary. The loss by fire in this village has exceeded $1,000,000.

FIRE DEPARTMENT.

It is evident that the citizens of Plattsburgh early mani- fested an interest in the protection of property from the ravages of fire. In 1817 a sum of money had been raised by taxation for the purchase of a fire-engine, but when President Monroe visited the village, in July of that year, the patriotie sons of Plattsburgh longed to welcome him in a prineely manner, and promptly voted the money to defray the expenses of reception.

The first regularly-organized fire companies were doubt- less the Phoenix No. 1 and Phoenix No. 2. There are no records extant to show the date of organization of No. 1, but the latter company was formed in 1838, with V. A. W. Merrill as eaptain.

Prior to 1846 these were the only companies in the vil- lage, and in June of that year they were consolidated for duty. At that time these companies were constituted as follows :

Phoenix Engine Company No. 1 .- William C. Nieh- ols, J. J. Drown, J. S. Smith, M. M. Drew, Lafayette Torrey, J. Me Williams, Robert Cushing, John Perey, Wil- liam Marshfield, William Graves, William Reed, C. N. Averill, S. P. Bailey, L. Trombly, G. F. Marsh, Thomas Gibbins, and F. MeMany.

Phoenix Engine Company No. 2 .- P. S. Palmer, B. F. Edsell, B. Palmer, M. W. Hartwell, B. Rosea, A. A. Pres- eott, E. Nichols, E. Hunter, G. W. Palmer, John Aekley, E. S. Winslow, E. D. Minors, D. Jackson, William H. H. Minor, D. Fraley, J. B. Button, Joseph MeMurray.

The records do not show how long these companies re- mained united. Jan. 22, 1858, all firemen's warrants then in foree were revoked, and 40 firemen appointed for the village. This company was known as Engine Company No. 1, and was composed of the following members : Mar- tin Bixby, captain ; William S. Lawrence, T. J. Salton, L. H. Leaik, James Bromley, G. A. Marshall, James S. Hig- ley, R. N. Richardson, H. W. Guibord, E. H. Heath, Wil- liam P. Tilley, William Gibbons, James Dobson, C. Proulx, John Shinville, S. L. Graham, John Staeks, John G. De Forest, A. R. Godso, C. A. Roberts, H. S. Phelps, D. G. Durkee, P. T. Stafford, Jr.

At the annual meeting, held April 6, 1858, the voters passed a resolution authorizing the trustees to purehase an engine for the village. In pursuanee of this authority, the trustees purchased a new engine which was called " Horieon No. 3," and which was placed under the control of a eom- pany ealled " Engine Company No. 3," of which Martin Bixby was captain. This was the same company pre- viously ealled " Engine Company No. 1," and was at that time the only organized company in the village.

The Present Department .- The fire department, as at present organized, consists of Horieon Engine and Hose Company, No. 3; Protection Hose Company, No. 5; Res- eue Hose Company, No. 4; Relief Hose Company, No. 2; and La Fayette Hose Company, No. 1.
