October 12, 1769, " Mr. Case requests with the consent of his people in Poughkeepsie that he be freed half his time from his labors with them till our next stated Presbyter," which was granted. The same request was repeated and granted May 9, 1770.

October 1I, 1770, " Mr. Case requested to be discharged from his pastoral relation to the Pres- byterian Church in Poughkeepsie. Messrs. John Wolsey, John Ward and Melancthon Smith being present declare that the Church and congregation at Poughkeepsie considering their inability to com- ply with Mr. Case's proposals, the Presbytery having considered the matter, judge it reasonable that Mr. Case should he liberated from his pas- toral relation to that people, and do liberate him accordingly."

The meeting-house at Pittsberry (Washington Hollow) was still retained as an adjunct, and re- paired and cared for by the same body politic, as is seen by the following, under date of November 21, 1771 : "Agree that we appoint collectors for all the subscriptions to collectors for the Hollow salary of Mr. Case jointly as one congregation ;" and again on same date, "Voted that Mr. Case's labors shall exactly be divided for the present year."

The residence of Mr. Case was located about one mile east of the village of Pleasant Valley, on the road to Washington Hollow. During the war of the Revolution the safety of himself and family being endangered, he removed with his household goods to the Hollow; but, notwithstanding this precaution, "was robbed of nearly all he possessed by the British soldiers or by their allies."

In common with most of the churches of these times, the Psalms of David furnished the musical part of the worship, as appears from a number of references to the election of readers, whose duty after the custom of the time, was to read the Psalms line by line as they were sung. Reference is also made to the choice of persons to "set" the tune.

Thus, "Pittsberry, November the 9, 1779, voted that David Ostram, Joshua Owen and Joseph Nap be singing clarks at Pleasant Valley, John Walsh and Mr. Platt, readers."

The next item of historic interest is the incor- poration of the congregation. The records con- tain the following :-

HISTORY OF DUCHESS COUNTY.

" At a meeting of those persons usually attending public worship in Pleasant Valley, notified agreeably to an act of the Legislature of the State of New York, authorizing the inhabitants thereof to form themselves into Religious Societies and choose a Clerk and Trustees to keep a proper account and take care of the Temporalites of the Church, which shall be a Lawful Incorporate Body, &c. Cornelius Humphrey and Eliphalet Platt were unanimously chosen Inspectors; John Everson, Clerk ; and the following persons Trustees :-

JOSHUA WARD,

3d Class.

" Voted, That this Congregation be known by the name of the 'Presbyterian Congregation of Pleasant Valley.' Charlotte, Jan. 28, 1785."

The seal of the Congregation, which cost £1 4s., has as an inscription the words, Seal of the Pleasant Valley Church, in a circle about a raised figure of a church.

Mr. Case remained as pastor of the church until his death, which occurred August 31, 1791, his labors with this congregation being, therefore, ex- tended over a period of twenty-six years. That he had much to discourage him is well known. The unsettled state of the country, the war of the Rev- olution, and the want of a stable population were very great hindrances. Nevertheless, as we have seen, the church grew and increased.

There is no record of the two years ensuing Mr. Case's death.

Revs. John Davenport and Jehu Minor assisted the church officially, but to what extent is not known.

On April 4, 1793, Rev. Methusaleh Baldwin was called, and on November 6th of the same year was installed pastor. He continued as such until the summer or fall of 1798. The following is the only minute of especial interest found in the rec- ords during the period of Mr. Baldwin's incum- bency :-

" At a meeting of the trustees, held March 11th, 1794, for taking into consideration the subject of a parsonage, it was agreed, after some debate, to drop the idea of building and to give the Rev. Mr. Baldwin a settlement of £100 in lieu of a parson- age. The money was subscribed and Mr. Bald- win accepted it. "

Rev. John Clark, formerly of Patterson, became the pastor in 1800, continuing until 1806, when he resigned his charge to accept a call to Pittsgrove, N. J., where he remained for about two years. In May, 1808, Mr. Clark was re-called and installed

pastor Oct. 6, of the same year. From this time until Sept. 29, 1829, Mr. Clark continued as pas- tor of this church ; his ministry here thus extend- ing over a period of about twenty-eighty years. August 5, 1814, thirty persons were dismissed for the purpose of forming a separate organization at Pittsberry, (Washington Hollow.)

Rev. Benj. F. Wile was called to the pastorate Oct., 24, 1829, and was ordained and installed Dec. 10, of the same year. This relation con- tinued till Jan. 7, 1867, a period of thirty-seven years. Rev. Henry J. Acker received a call to become pastor of the church Nov. 11, 1868, and was in- stalled April 28, 1869. He remained pastor until the winter of 1875. He died at Brainard, N, Y., Jan. 1, 1874, and was buried in the grave- yard adjoining the Pleasant Valley church, where also lie the bodies of Revs. Messrs. Case, Clark and Wile.

Rev. Wm. Whittaker was installed by the Pres- bytery of North River, Nov. 3, 1873, and con- tinued as pastor of the church until April 22, 1879. The present pastor, Rev. Augustus B. Prichard* was installed May 4, 1880. Rev. Mr. Wile, was widely known both as an earnest advo- cate of temperance, and as a successful revivalist. By his influence very largely the moral tone of this community was elevated almost entire by the abolishment of the liquor traffic from the place. He received during his pastorate of thirty-seven and one-half years, over 700 persons into the communion of this church ; the member- ship of which at one time numbered over 400. The present membership of the church is 219. The following persons are known to have gone out from this church at various times into the stated work of the ministry :-

Edward F. Ross, James J. Helm, Wm. N. Sayre, now, and for over forty-five years pastor of the Presbyterian church at Pine Plains, in this county ; James Hervey Howe, before alluded to in con- nection with Pittsberry; Robert Laird, James Jones, now of Hyde Park ; Joseph Wood, now stationed at Shandaken, Ulster Co., of this State, and James Van Wagner.

The first house of worship was a wooden struc- ture, erected in 1770, on the main street, a few rods northwest of the present building. In 1812 it was repaired and considerably enlarged, at a cost of $2,500. A list of the 126 persons who sub- scribed and paid this amount is on record in the Congregational Book.

GEORGE LAMOREE.

The Lamoree family were among those hardy French pioneers who came to this county prior to the Revolution. Isaac Lamoree, the grandfather of George, came to America, with his two brothers, in 1772. In 1774 he purchased and settled upon the farm now owned by the subject of this sketch.

Isaac Lamoree's son, Timothy, was born on this farm, and succeeded his father in the title thereto and passed his entire life thereon. George Lamoree was one of the eight chil- dren of Timothy. He was born on this farm December 16th, 1816, and has owned it since his father's death. He chose farming as a business and has always, save when entrusted with public affairs, followed it with the vigor and judgment which always insure success.

August 13th, 1846, he was united in mar- riage with Jane M., a daughter of Simon H. Pells, Esq., of Rhinebeck. To them were born four children and the only son, Franklin, now occupies the old homestead.

Mr. Lamoree first appeared in politics in

the year 1855, when he was elected by the Whigs as a Justice of the Peace of his town. In the following year he was elected to the office of Supervisor for his town. He filled that office for three terms with such ability as to call especial attention to his executive power. At the commencement of the Rebel- lion he was appointed U S. Revenue Col- lector, and held that office until 1864, when he was elected by the Republicans, as Sheriff of Duchess County, which office he held dur- ing the three succeeding troublous years. He was also Brigadier Paymaster under General Isaac I. Platt.

He was one of the founders of the City National Bank of Poughkeepsie, and has been a director thereof during its existence. Mr. Lamoree has now retired from active political life, and from the direct management of his lands, devoting his time to the direction of his private affairs and quietly advancing the interests of the party in the principles of which he is a firm believer.

TOWN OF PLEASANT VALLEY.

was erected in 1848. The building committee were : Joseph Holmes, Joshua O. Ward, Joshua Barnes, George Badgley, Garrison Conklin, M. De L. F. Phillips, Collins Peters. In 1801, the con- gregation secured a parsonage with about twenty acres of land attached, one mile east of the village. In 1840, a new parsonage was built on the site of the old one. In 1869, this farm was sold and in the winter of 1869-'70 the present parsonage was erected near the church at a cost of $4,500. A part of the avails of the sale of the farm was used for this purpose. The remaining $2,000 was fur- nished by subscriptions. The building committee were: J. Osborn Holmes, William E. Badgley, David T. Barnes.

April 10, 1770, Jacob and Margaret Everson gave the congregation the deed of a parcel of land to be used for burial purposes and as a site for a church building. The first house of worship was erected on the northeast portion of this land. .

The Pleasant Valley Baptist Church, near Salt Point Village .- The Newcombs, Van Voor- hees, Harrises, Frosts and other families settled at this point about the year 1765, and were princi- pally of the Baptist faith. They procured the ser- vices of Elder John Lawrence, who preached to them in private houses and the school house, and during the summer months in the woods. A reg- ular organization was not formed until the early part of 1770, when the Elder organized the society at the house of Zaccheus Newcomb. Joseph Harris was chosen as deacon, and regular appoint- ments were made until the war of the Revolution commenced, when a division of political sentiments led the church to dwindle away without interest. Rev. Alex. MacGeorge informs us that " Elder Bullock, of Stanford, afterwards began to preach (about 1716 or '17) and was blessed with a revival. Some 40 or 50 were baptized and became a branch of his church." The first record of the branch was made in 1792, and Elder John Dodge became their first pastor in 1795, and continued until 1813. He died April 13, 1816. In 1790, Mr. John Van- Voorhees gave the Society a deed for one-half an acre of land, and the first church was built.

After the resignation of Elder Dodge, in 1813, Elder Robers followed as the next regular pastor, but the time is not given. He officiated seven years, and after his pastorate until 1847, the pulpit was filled by " supplies." In the latter year Elder C. Ambler came and remained two years, when E. Fay followed as a supply for one year. In the spring of 1850, Elder N. S. Benedict was called

and continued until the fall of 1851, and gave place to Elder A. M. Brown, who remained until the spring of 1858. Meetings were not held regu- larly during the remainder of that, and the fore- part of the following year ; but Elder Van Freden- burgh preached a few months in the latter part of 1859, and Elder Heppeon through the year 1860. Elder MacGeorge says, "from 1860 to 1878, there was no settled pastor. The church dwindled from a membership of one hundred and four in 1843, to twenty-nine in 1878." In the latter year Elder MacGeorge took the charge of the church. The present membership is sixty-three, and the sabbath school numbers seventy-eight.

George W. Houghton, a member, was licensed to preach in 1842, and ordained as an Evangelist. E. T. Weed was licensed in 1847, S. T. Frost in 1858, and A. MacGeorge in 1878.

The Methodist Episcopal Church of Pleasant Valley .- From Rev. T. S. Lent the pastor of this church in 1879 and '80, we have obtained the fol- lowing: It is not known when the Methodists first came to Pleasant Valley, but probably about 1788, the year the Duchess circuit was formed. For many years the public meetings of these people were held in the school-house on the hill one mile east of the valley, which came to be known far and near as " the Methodist school-house." July 27, 1825, this society bought of James Odell for $150 one acre of land situated on the "Duchess Turn- pike," and proceeded at once to build a church in the style of the times, about forty feet square, two and one-half stories in height. The deed of this property was given to William Dize, Solomon Sleight and William Harris as trustees. Rev. Sam- uel Cochran, Nicholas White and William M. Wil- lett were pastors of the Duchess Circuit at this time. Pleasant Valley remained a part of this circuit until 1843, when Milan and Pleasant Val- ley were formed into a separate charge with Rev. William Thatcher as pastor. In 1744 and '45, Jeremiah Ham was pastor. It was during Rev. Mr. Ham's second year that the church edifice was removed from the hill to the village on Main street. The usual changes were made in pastors from 1845, of which we have no means of ascertaining up to the year 1860, when Rev. Aaron Hunt was followed in 1861 by M. R. Lent ; in 1862, by John R. Edmonds; in 1863, by J. H. Wood; in 1864, by L. J. Collins ; in 1865 and '66, by Thomas Ellis ; in 1867, by N. Hubbell ; in 1868 and'69, by Thom- as Elliott ; in 1870 and'7 1, by I. H. Lent; in 1872, by William Hall; in 1873 and '74, by A. Davis ; in

In 1833, Lorenzo Dow preached in the Metho- dist edifice at Pleasant Valley. During an even- ing service two young ladies sitting in the gallery chanced to whisper, and were instantly heard by the eccentric preacher, upon which he made a pause in his discourse. "It was thought "-he said-" by some, there were no women in Heaven for this reason : The Revelator says there was silence in Heaven for the space of one-half an hour, which could not have happened if women had been there." At the close of that service he announced to preach again in the morning at sunrise, prompt. The doors would be closed at that time, and no one allowed to enter. Long be- fore the appointed time .the house was filled with anxious people to hear the renowned Evangelist, but many who were dilatory, were compelled to remain outside, as he had the key of the door in his pocket.

Christian Church of Washington Hollow .-- A meeting of the "Friends of Christian Union and Religious Liberty" was held at the Ensign House on December 1, 1860, to council upon the or- ganization of a society and build a house of wor- ship. But few were present, and they adjourned without taking action, and appointed a meeting on the 3d, following. A goodly assemblage met upon that day, and were addressed by William W. Stewart and Rev. P. Roberts, after which Enos Northrup, Jacob Vail and Reuben C. VerVlanck, of Pleasant Valley, and Charles McCormac and Elias N. Haight, of Washington, were chosen trustees. Arrangements were made for the building of a church, which was soon commenced. During Jan- uary and February of 1861, Rev. P. Roberts held meetings in "Floral Hall" upon the agricultural grounds.

The church was dedicated on the 23d of Octo- ber, 1861, by Rev. P. Roberts and Rev. M. Cum- mings, of New York City, of the Christian Church, and Revs. Lent and Lyman, of the Methodist.

The pastors have been as follows : Rev. P.Roberts, Rev. E. Jones, Rev. Teller, Rev. D. P. Putnam, Rev. P. Roberts and Rev. Jesse Card, at present officiating.

PHYSICIANS .- Who the first practicing physician of this town was is not definitely known, but in all probability was Dr. Beldon, who died in 1815 at an advanced age. The oldest inhabitants of the town well remember him, and think he settled here about 1770. During the latter part of his prac-

tice Dr. Ely located here and gained a large prac- tice, but became intemperate and neglected his profession, which brought him to the alms-house, where he died. Contemporary with him, in the last years of his usefulness, was Dr. Downs, who remained several years after Ely died. Drs. Can- field and Nelson followed, the latter taking Dr. Downs' place and practice. The last two were here about 1825-'30. About the latter year Dr. Hurd came, and for a short time the last four phy- sicians were here together. They were followed by Dr. Traver, who still remains, being the only one of the old school left. Drs. Dowan and Wilson afterwards followed. The latter removed to Pough- keepsie, and Dr. McClorey fills his place.

SCHOOLS .- The schools of this town are most promising. Long years ago a deep interest was taken in the cause of education, as has been inti- mated in the founding of high graded schools. From time to time " select schools" have been kept by proficient teachers and very liberally pat- ronized, but not to the detriment of the common school. It is a fact worthy to be considered that such are an advantage to the common schools sur- rounding them, and wherever is found such a school of a few years' standing, the district schools near are far ahead of those more remote. A better class of teachers are furnished, and competition of scholarship is invariably indulged, the consequences of which are regular attendance, studiousness and thoroughness. The records for the common schools for the year 1821, show that there were six hundred and twelve children under the age of fifteen, and over five years, in the town, and the amount of public money received by the commis- sioners, Thomas Berry and James Mott, was three hundred and ninety-two dollars and thirty cents. From the commissioners certificate of apportion- ment to the Supervisors for the year 1881, we learn that the number under twenty-one and over five in the twelve districts was eight hundred and forty-two, and the amount of public money apportioned was $1,480.38.

The supervisors and town clerks of Pleasant Valley, since the year 1824, have been as follows :-

PLEASANT VALLEY IN THE WAR OF THE REBELLION.

When the late Rebellion broke out, her sons stepped forth with firm patriotism and alacrity worthy of the blood of revolutionary sires, to defend the stars and stripes and assert their supremacy to float over our ramparts. Many left their homes and endured the fatigue, privations and dangers attending a soldier's life and fell by dis- ease. Many fell before the cannon's mouth and lie sleeping upon the field of their glorious deeds. Many returned with scars as evidence of patriot- ism, while others having passed through the struggle without an injury, returned with a love of country of deeper root and with many tales peculiar to the camp and battle-field, that will be re-iterated by their children and grandchildren long after they have passed away to join their comrades beyond strife and contentions. Those who enlisted from and in behalf of the town, as near as can be ascer- tained, were as follows :---

fair for the year was held upon the new grounds, and the receipts from all sources amounted to about $1,000.

In 1859, suitable sheds and stables for stock were built at an expense of $500, which sum was raised by voluntary subscription. This year on account of storms the receipts of the fair did not meet expenses, which were over $150, but money was borrowed and premiums paid. In 1862 the grounds were enlarged ; twenty-one acres of land being enclosed. A half-mile track was laid out and graded, more stables were built and sheds re- arranged, at an expense of $1,650, which was most- ly raised by subscription. In 1866 the grounds and buildings proving inadequate for the increas- ing business of the society, it was decided by a committee held January 10, 1867, consisting of the officers of the society, together with John Trowbridge, Charles E. Sands, John S. Thorn and Stephen Angell, to agree upon a plan of new buildings and grounds, and they directed the Secretary to take general charge of the work. The work was completed in time for the annual fair of this year, at an expense of over $7,000. The two exhibition buildings cover an area of over 9,000 square feet, and the grounds contain something over thirty acres of land. The receipts for the fair of this year amounted to $4,000. The year 1869, was the most successful in point of attendance, and receipts that the society has yet held ; the re- ceipts all told amounting. to about $6,000. About this time the success of the society led to the for- mation of rival organizations. The first of these was the Rhinebeck Association, meeting at Rhine- beck village, next the "East Duchess," located at Amenia, and last the " Hudson River," which held its meetings at Poughkeepsie. These rival or- ganizations seriously injured the prosperity of the society, there being a gradual decline for several years in the attendance and receipts. In the years of 1878-'9, the president's chair was filled by Mr. Benson J. Lossing, the eminent historian. About this time the society had reached its lowest plane in point of support and general interest ; its re- ceipts falling below $2,600 with expenses above the ability of the society to pay. But the other associations were also proving unsuccessful finan- cially ; the Rhinebeck Society being the first to disband, and the "Hudson River" after many pecuniary reverses soon following its example.
