The first trustees were Peter Tremblay, Charles Graves, Peter Smitlı, Richard Pickett, and James Farrell.
On the 10th of July, 1854, the ceremony of blessing the corner-stone was performed by Rev. Father Bernard, and on the 15th of August, 1855, the benediction of the church by Rev. Father Sallaz, assisted by Rev. Fathers F. Ruiz, R. Neyrow, H. Mauroit. The benediction of the bell was pronounced Oct. 23, 1855, Rev. Fathers Sallaz and E. Kenney, of Plattsburgh, officiating, on which occasion there were about 1500 people present. From that date up to Aug. 14, 1869, the Redford mission, under the superin- tendence of Rev. Father Sallaz, was successfully attended by Fathers Eng. Cauvin, E. Chevalier, A. Pallur, A. Mourier, J. N. Laverlochirl, A. Medevielle, H. T. Martens, and F. Therin.
On the 14th of August, 1869, Rev. N. Lorraine was sent to Redford by Rt. Rev. J. Conroy, bishop of Albany, to take charge of the mission as its first resident pastor,- a position which he has worthily filled up to the present. At the time he came, the interior of the church was in a very rough and unfinished condition, and in March, 1870, the pastor secured the services of N. Loproson, architect, from Montreal, who drew plans for the sanctuary and finishing the interior.
In May, 1870, the contract was let to Eric Landry, of Plattsburgh, who commenced the work in June, and in December, 1870, the benediction of the completed edifice was pronounced by Rev. E. P. Wadhams, now bishop of Ogdensburgh, and then vicar-general of Albany. The cost of the entire edifice was about $15,000.
THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
located at Redford was organized with 12 members, and the Rev. Mr. Stone was the pastor at the time the church
was dedicated. He subsequently entered the army, where he lost his life. This church has had other pastors, but we are unable to secure their names. For many years past no organization has been kept up.
SARANAC ACADEMY.
Saranac Academy Association was organized, and pur- chased the old church edifice April 19, 1863. The prin- cipal shareholders were Stephen P. Bowen, David H. Parsons, Hosea A. McIntyre, Samuel Haynes, John W. Signor, Allen Phillips, Samuel Haynes, M.D., Eleazer Davis, James Davis, Ebenezer Kimball, Richard Pigott, John Sullivan, Amos Bowen, and others.
An addition, 26 by 30, was at once erected, the grounds inclosed by a fence covering that part of the premises pur- chased of the Methodist Episcopal society, and a portion of the land purchased of Samuel Haynes for a play-ground, all of which was paid for in full, and a thriving school opened under the supervision of Andrew W. Morhous, and con- tinued for several terms by said Morhous, his wife, and Miss Amelia Green, and succeeded by Miss McFadden, George Dunning, Mrs. Weeks, Mr. Hagar, Miss Kirby, Miss Stetson, Mr. Baskerville, Mrs. Nichols, Miss Marshall, and Mr. L. H. Buxton. A very fine bell was purchased by Hon. George Parsons of Messrs. Jones & Co., of Troy, N. Y., at a cost of $100, and presented to the association, said bell bearing an inscription of date and presentation as above.
The present board of officers is as follows: D. H. Par- sons, President; Jas. H. Signor, Secretary; John W. Signor, Treasurer.
The academy is very pleasantly located in the Saranac River Valley, and is in every respect susceptible of becoming not far in the future one of the most flourishing schools of the kind in the State.
CHAPTER LXIV.
SARANAC-(Continued).
Civil History-Military.
THE town of Saranac was set off from Plattsburgh, March 29, 1824, and the first entry in the old town book is as follows :
" An act to divide the town of Plattsburgh, in the county of Clinton, passed 29th March, 1824. Be it enacted and that from and after the 1st day of May next all that part of the town of Plattsburgh lying west of Platt's Six Thousand Six Hundred Acre Location shall be a separate town by the name of Saranac, and the first town-meeting in said town shall be held at the house of Daniel B. Vaughan, on the first Tuesday in May next, and the annual town-meetings in said town shall thereafter be held on the first Tuesday in May next; the supervisors and overseers of the poor of the towns of Plattsburgh and Saranac shall meet and divide and apportion the money on poor which shall belong to the said town of Plattsburgh on the Last day of April, according To the last Tax-List, and each of Said Towns Shall Thereafter maintain and support its Own Poor."

E. R. STANTON.
E. R. Stanton's grandparents were among the earliest settlers of Clinton County. Their children were James, Daniel, Jesse, John, Lewis, Edwin, Edson, Waighty, and Polly.
John Stanton was born June 11, 1803. He was one of the first settlers of Saranac, coming into the town, and building for himself a log house on the land now forming a part of the farm of Hiram Rob- inson, near Hopper's Corners. Here he lived for nearly thirty years, respected by all, a good citizen, and, to some extent, a pablic man, holding the office of town superintendent of schools besides filling other positions.
At the age of nineteen he was married to Martha Reed, eldest daughter of Elijah Reed, of Saranac, and was the father of eight children, viz. : George P., Susan R., Philip M., Martha S., Elijah R., Min- erva R., William B., and John W.
Elijah R. Stanton was born July 29, 1831, in the town of Saranac, Clinton Co., N. Y. April 28, 1858, he was married to Amanda C. Haynes, of Saranac, second daughter of Samuel and Mary A. (Weaver) Haynes. The issue of this marriage has been nine children,-Charles W. (deceased), Elmer E., Alice M., Jessie (deceased), John Frank W.,
Amanda Lillian, Edwin M., Elijah Ernest, and Weaver Haynes.
Mr. Stanton is a farmer by occupation, as was his father before him ; he has been, however, an officer in Clinton prison for three years. In politics a Re- publican. He has never sought office, but has been content to give expression simply to his sentiments by voting with his party. He is, and has for a long time been, a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Saranac.
Mrs. E. R. Stanton's mother was a daughter of Rev. Samuel and Zillah (Clark) Weaver. Rev. Mr. Weaver was one of the old circuit Methodist preach- ers, having a circnit extending into Canada, and which required a month's time to go aromd. He was one of Saranac's first preachers and settlers, and is buried in the Saranac Cemetery. As a man and minister he was thorough-going in matters of business and religion, of robust health, and fine presence, and his jovial face was ever welcome at the homes of his parishioners. He was untiring in the duties of his profession, and sought out the poor to administer comfort of both a spiritual and material character. He died at the age of more than seventy years, ere- ating a void in the community which was long felt.

JAMES LITTLEJOHN.
is descended from English ancestry, was born in Devon- shire, England, Aug. 24, 1824, and came to America with his grandfather, James Littlejohn, in 1832, landing at Quebec. They proceeded almost immediately to Union Falls, where they remained until a house could be built on some land James Littlejohn had purchased in Franklin County, situated one and three-quarters miles west of Union Falls. He remained with his grandfather, assisting him in working and clearing his farm, for some ten years, when he hired by the month to one Mr. Bagley, remaining with him about six years.
While living with Mr. Bagley he learned the iron busi- ness, and at the expiration of the time above mentioned engaged in that business exclusively, as hammersman.
Jan. 1, 1851, he was married to Eunice Ramsdell, eldest daughter of John and Polly (Roice) Ramsdell, of Dickin- son, Franklin Co. Their children have been five in num- ber, three of whom are still living,-Frank W., Nelson, and Carrie L.
James Littlejohn has been interested in the iron business
in some capacity for about twenty-five years. At present, and for many years past, he has had charge of manufac- turing all the coal used by Bowen & Signor in their forges and rolling-mill in Saranac, making from two hundred thousand to three hundred thousand bushels of coal per annum. He erected the first coal-kilns built by Bowen & Signor in Saranac, which was in 1864.
While yet quite a young man, Mr. Littlejohn met with a serious accident while at work, for a short time, in a saw- mill, severely cutting both hands, rendering them useless for life for many purposes. Notwithstanding this great misfortune he has been very successful in business, and has probably made more coal than any man in his locality.
Mr. Littlejohn's home is nestled at the foot of Lyon Mountain, commanding an extensive and most picturesque view of the Saranac Valley and Adirondack Mountains, while the hazy outline of the Green Mountains are seen in the distance. His farm comprises a part, if not the whole, of the original farm of Mr. Lyon, for whom Lyon Mountain was named.
