These priests, who, it will be noticed, have mostly belonged to the 3d Order of St. Francis, dress as Franciscan monks, and serve at other places, as at Moose River, Harrisville, Fine and Greig. Be- sides Father Gregory, there are at pres- ent Fidelis Kircher and Albert Sträbele, both Franciscans.
The Franciscan Monastery of St. Stephen (priest's house) was built in 1877; St. Mary's school building about 1864 to 1867; and the Convent of St. Eliz- abeth in 1878. The school-house is for elementary instruction of both sexes, and has about one hundred scholars ; the Con- vent is for young ladies only, and has some eighteen or twenty pupils. These
are taught by four Franciscan Nuns. The mother house of their order is at Peekskill. There is also connected with the Priest's house a building erected in 1881, where twelve boys are under ele- mentary religious instruction. They are from fifteen to twenty years of age, and are intended for priests. This school was begun about three years ago, and the boys board and lodge on the premises.
St. Stephen's church is of wood, was built in 1881, and blessed October 4th of that year. It is about 120 feet long, with a spire 160 feet high, and will seat about 700 persons. It is finished in black ash within, and cost about $16,000.
The priests claim 424 families, and 2,226 souls as under their charge. They were induced to leave Germany in con- sequence of the measures of Bismarck in prohibiting monastic orders from exer- cising their functions in that country.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.
WILLIAM W. RICE.
The family of Rice is descended from Robert Rice, who was born in England about the year 1590. The name in the earlier days of the family was variously spelled as Royce, Roise, Roice, and Royse. At what time it was changed to the more simple form of Rice, is not known.
Robert, the ancestor mentioned, came to America in 1631, and settled first in Boston, Massachusetts, from whence he removed to New London, Connecticut, previous to 1657. He was constable
there in 1660, and was a representative in the Colonial Legislature, in 1661. He was in good repute, and was the father of nine children-six sons and three daughters. His first wife, Elizabeth, was living on the estate in 1688. He died in 1676.
His third son, Samuel, married Han- nah Churchell, of Wethersfield, Conn. He resided in New London, Conn., and was a freeman there in 1669, but removed from there to Wallingford, New Haven county, previous to 1677. He had two sons and three daughters. His eldest son, also named Samuel, resided in Wall-

ingford, where he married, June 5, 1690, Sarah Baldwin, by whom he had four children. He died June 11, 1729. Of his children, Jacob, the youngest son, born April 11, 1697, married Sept. 28, 1724, Thankful Beach, daughter of Thos. and Phebe Beach. She was born Sept. 20, 1702. Jacob died Nov 13, 1727, aged 30.
county in 1857. Of the children of this marriage, two sons, William W. and Yale, have achieved some prominence in the business interests of Lewis county.
Yale Rice, the eldest, was born De- cember 23, 1831, and received his educa- tion in Cortland and Ithaca. In 1849, he entered the leather establishment of Lor-

The children of Jacob and Thankful Beach Rice, were Amos and Experience. Amos, born November 1, 1725, married Sarah Morse, about 1753, and resided in Wallingford, Conn. They had seven sons and four daughters. Their fifth son, Benajah, was born March 16, 1767, and married Sarah Hough, in January, 1793. Their only son Amos, was born August 22, 1800, in Windham, Greene county, N. Y. He married Loretta Susan Andrews, of Greene county, and came to Lewis

ing Andrews, in New York, where he remained as clerk and book-keeper until 1853. He then went to Sullivan county, where he became connected with a tan- nery, remaining some six years. In 1859, he removed to Wisconsin, where he was a merchant until 1864. In that year he came to Lewis county, and became a partner with his brother in the manufac- ture of leather, under the firm name of W. & Y. Rice.
William Wirt Rice, the subject of the

HISTORY OF LEWIS COUNTY.
accompanying portrait, was born in Lexington, Greene county, New York, August 13, 1833. At the age of two years his parents removed from Greene county to Homer, Cortland county. where his early life was passed, and where he received his education in the Cortland Academy, under Prof. S. B. Woolworth, since secretary of the Board of Regents. He lived on the farm until the age of twenty, and in 1853, left home and came to the town of Greig, Lewis county, where he worked for C. W. Pratt, a tanner, for three years at twelve dollars per month, during which time he mastered the trade of sole leather tanning. In 1856, in company with his oldest brother, B. B. Rice, he built a tannery at Dunning's Station, on the Delaware & Lackawanna Railroad, nine miles from Scranton, Pa., which he sold before its entire completion, and in De- cember, 1856, came to Croghan, Lewis county. Here in the year following he built a tannery which was destroyed by fire in 1865, and the present tannery was built in its place at once. In 1863, B. B. Rice sold his interest in the business to the father, Amos, who in 1864, sold to his son Yale, the present partner with William W. The capacity of this tannery is 30,000 sides of sole leather per year, using during that time 3,000 cords of bark. In the spring of 1870 they pur- chased ten thousand acres of land in Croghan, principally for its growth of hemlock timber. They built also a tan- nery at Jordan Falls, on the Oswegatchie river, the capacity of which is 60,000 sides per annum. Here they erected twenty-five or thirty dwellings, a large
boarding house, a store and school house. In 1873, they purchased some 18,000 acres more of land, for its hemlock timber, and now conduct probably the most extensive tannery in the county. .In 1866, William W. Rice was elected Supervisor of the town, which office he held four years, and was elected to that position again in 1881, for one term. In 1876, he was elected to the Assembly of the State by the Democratic party, and served to the satisfaction of his constit- uents.
On the IIth of October, 1864, Mr. Rice was married to Martha A. Gowdy daughter of Norman Gowdy of Low- ville. His children are :-
Alice G., born October 24, 1865, died September 28, 1870; George Stanley, born August 20, 1867; Julia B., born October 23, 1869; Francis Yale, born November 12, 1871; Norman G., born January 12, 1874; Martha A., born Sep- tember 12, 1876.
On the 27th of February, 1883, W. & Y. Rice sold their tanneries, and about 10,000 acres of bark land, to Messrs. Bullard & Co., of New York City, and will retire from business.
CHAPTER XXI.
HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF DENMARK.
T THIS town was formed from Harris- burgh, April 3, 1807, with its pres- ent limits, comprising Township V, of the Black River Tract, or Mantua, as named by the Surveyor-General, on his published maps of 1802 and 1804. The first town meeting was ordered to be held at the house of Simeon Dunham, and the poor and poor moneys were to be divided with Harrisburgh according to the last tax list. The act took effect on the first Monday of February following. The first town officers were :-
Lewis Graves, Supervisor; Wm. Der- byshire, Clerk; Levi Robbins, Willis Se-

combe and Eleazer Sylvester, Assessors; John Clark, William Clark and John Hurd, Commissioners; Stephen Parson and Sueton Fairchild, Poormasters ; Aaron Nash, Constable ; and Eleazer S. Sylvester, Constable and Collector.
Lewis Graves was from Greenfield, Saratoga county, N. Y. He represented this county, Jefferson and St. Lawrence in Assembly in 1808, and this county alone in 1810. He was several years judge and supervisor, and died May 10, 1816, aged sixty-one years. His widow survived until 1852, when she died Jan. IO, aged eighty-nine years. A brother named David also became an early settler.
Eleazer Sylvester died February 17, 1835, aged fifty-four years.

Dr. Samuel Allen, (1815-'16,) wasa na- tive of Massachusetts, studied with Drs. Guiteau, of Trenton, and Willoughby, of Newport ; settled in practice at Low- ville, in 1808, and in April, 1809, became a partner with Dr. Perry. He re- moved to Copenhagen in 1811, engaged in trade with David Canfield, and through the war was concerned in heavy contracts with the navy. The peace which followed brought ruin to this firm, although they kept on doing some busi-
ness from about 1820 to 1828. They suc- ceeded in recovering from the govern- ment, a portion of the claims which the suspension of contracts occasioned, and while on this business at Washington, Dr. Allen formed the acquaintance of many prominent public men. He became the agent of Varick, in the rope manu- factory at Copenhagen, and afterwards engaged in farming a little southeast from the village, and adjacent to the High Falls. He died June 12, 1849, aged sixty-six years. Dr. Allen was ardently attached to the Whig party, and once nominated by them to the Assembly, but not elected. With literary tastes, pol- ished manners, and uncommon conver- sational powers, he was eminently fitted to please and instruct, while his prompt reply and keen wit, made him the life of the social gathering.

Joseph W. Empey ; 1882, Charles M. Redfield.
In 1810, 'II, '12, '13, a fine of $10 was voted for allowing Canada thistles to go to seed. A bounty of 50 cents was voted in 1821, for killing foxes, and $10 for panthers in 1828.
As noticed in our chapter upon titles, this town formed a part of the purchase of Harrison, Hoffman, Low and Hender- son, and fell to the lot of the first two, as joint owners, together with townships 8 and 10, or Rodman and Harrisburgh. On the Ist of May, 1805, Josiah Ogden Hoffman, sold to Thomas L. Ogden, his half of these towns, and the securities upon them in trust, to pay, first, to the bank of New York, his share of debt due the bank, as assignee of Constable ; second, the personal debts of Hoffman to the Constable estate ; third, a debt due to Abijah Hammond; fourth, to William Harrison, the sum due on a bond of $9,093.50, given January 1, 1805 ; and lastly, what remained to Hoffman. Ina transaction of this date, Harrison ac- quired Hoffman's interest in lots 1, 2, 3, 18, 53, 54, 55, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 68, excepting parts of 58, 59, 60, 61, 63, and 64, for $7,300. The first and second trusts were executed in the summer of 1809, and on the ist of June, Harrison and Hoffman made a division of con- tracts, bonds and mortgages. On the 19th of July, Hoffman and Ogden con- veyed the whole to Harrison, to satisfy his demands in full. The amount of securities in the three towns thus trans- ferred, was $86,600.80. Hoffman, while concerned in these titles, was Attorney- General. He was seven years in the Assembly, in 1810,'13,'14 ; was Recorder of New York ; and at the time of his death, which occurred January 24, 1838, he was Associate Judge of the Superior Court of that city. He was a lawyer of great ability and strict integrity.
The first definite knowledge of this
town was ascertained by Benjamin Wright, who surveyed around it in April, 1776, and recorded in his field-book the following :-
" This is a most excellent township of land, and is beautifully watered with small streams, with a large creek called Deer creek running through the middle of it. On this creek is a cataract,* about four miles from the mouth, of about 20 or 30 feet, and very curious mill seats. There are several large creeks. of fine water running through the town, with mill seats on them. There is an exceed- ingly large intervale on Deer creek near the mouth, which is of the richest kind of land, and will be equal in quality and extent to any flat in the State of New York. The extent of these flats is about 2,000 acres, and their richness is not over estimated. They are not ordinarily flowed over their whole extent, but in the winter of 1856-'57, the flood came up to the foot of the hill, a few rods be- low Deer River village. On the 12th of May, 1833, the inundation was higher than ever before or since known. The south line of this town is of an excellent quality, excepting a swamp near the Black river, which is timbered with pine, ash, cedar, beech, and soft maple. This township needs no other remarks,but only to say, that it is the best township in the 300,000 acres, and has every good quality that can be contained in a town- ship of land-mill seats, excellent timber, finest quality of soil, excellent water, and pretty good situation. Area 33.951 acres, strict measure."
The triangular form of this town and of Champion,appears to have resulted from a wish on the part of the owners of the Black River tract, to give to each a proportional river front. Along the Black river we first find a series of meadow lands of great fertility and an- nually flowed by the river. Back of this the surface rises by a succession of lime- stone terraces, with heavy deposits of drift, especially on the eastern margin of the upper terrace, below the village of Copenhagen. The accumulation of

drifted materials there forms a succes- sion of sharp, irregular hills, with deep valleys between. The same appearance is observed in Turin, and was apparent- ly caused by currents bearing these loose materials along, a little obliquely across the valley that had previously been formed in the limestone, by glacial ac- tion.
The proprietors of Township V, ap- pointed Abel French of Albany, their agent, and the latter employed Joseph Crary, in 1798-'99,to subdivide the town- ship into farms .* It will be observed,up- on examination of the map, that this survey was made with reference to a line since adopted as the route of the East Road, which was called the Base Line; and that the lot lines were run nearly parallel, or at right angles to this. The principal lots were intended to measure seventy chains on each side, and were sold as right angled, although uniformly, and no doubt purposely, run at an angle varying 6° from this, thus falling a little short of reputed contents in every case. It is said that Crary remonstrated at this irregularity, but was overruled, and directed to proceed as the surveys now indicate.
The lands of this town were offered to settlers upon terms that were considered very favorable, varying from two to three and a half dollars per acre, one- half being required at purchase. About 1806, Morris S. Miller, then of Lowville, but subsequently of Utica, became agent, and soon after Isaac W. Bostwick, of Lowville, under whom its settlement and conveyance by deed was mostly completed.
Abel French made the first location, having from his position as agent the
first choice, and selected the site of what has since become Deer River village. It is a prevalent belief among the first purchasers, that Mr. French saved a valuable tract of land to himself, by this arrangement. He represented Oneida county in Assembly in 1799, 1801, '02, '03, and Albany county in 1810. French resided in Floyd before living in Den- mark. A citizen of that town who knew him there, has informed us that a
few years before his death, he boasted to him that he had "gutted the Black River people." The character given of him in our first edition, our informant considered as well deserved, and he thought him in many respects a " bad man." He was supervisor in Floyd in 1798-'99. He died in Albany, where the latter years of his life were spent, on the 17th of November, 1843, aged seventy- eight years.
The next settlement was by Jesse Blodget, the first actual resident, who, in 1800, settled at Denmark village, where he resided till his death, January 9, 1848, at the age of eighty-four. His wife was the first woman who came into town. She died August 5, 1844, aged seventy years. Their son, Harrison Blodget, born March 18, 1801, was the first male child born in town. In 1824, Mr. Jesse Blodget built the large stone hotel in Denmark village. He first began keeping tavern in 1812. Harri- son Blodget was for a long period actively concerned in the affairs of the town and county, and was Member of Assembly in 1831. He was for many years one of the leading men in the County Agricultural Society, and in other matters of public utility. He died January 4, 1875, aged seventy-four years.
Joseph Crary, the surveyor, Peter Bent (died November 30, 1833, aged fifty- six years), Solomon Farrell, William and Daniel Clark, James Bagg, Charles Moseley, Simeon Dunham, and others
* Joseph Crary afterward settled in this town, and was buried at Deer River, about 1815. He was a very large man. His name occurs in the records of land surveys in St. Lawrence and Jefferson counties, where he was employed by David Parish and others, to subdi- vide townships into farms.

settled in the lower part of the town. Freedom Wright and his sons, Douglas (died July 21, 1863, aged eighty-four years ; his wife died December 17, 1863, aged eighty-two) and Freedom ; Charles Wright and his sons, Charles (died May 20, 1827, aged fifty-four), Tyrannus A. (died July 12, 1862, aged eighty-four), Stephen, Erastus, Chester, Nathan and Matthew, and son-in-law, William Mer- riam; Joseph Blodget, his son, Calvin (died June 7, 1845, aged seventy), and son-in-law, Shadrach Case; Andrew Mills, Freedom Williams, Darius Sher- win (died November 13, 1865, aged sixty- five); Levi and Reuben Robbins, David Goodenough, John Williams, Nathan Munger and his son, Nathan; Levi Barnes, John Clark, Joseph and Bezaled I. Rich, (died December 11, 1851, aged seventy-eight) ; King, Isaac Munger (died April 20, 1850, aged seventy-five) ; Abner Whiting, Robert Horr, Henry Welch, and perhaps others, in the central and western parts, in 1801 and 1802. In most cases as was then a common custom, the settlers came on the first year and made some improve- ments before the removal of their families the following spring. The Wrights were from Winstead, Conn., the Mungers from Ludlow, Mass., the Blodgets and Rich from New Hamp- shire, Crary from Vermont, the Rob- bins families from Sandisfield, Mass., Clark from Barre, Mass., and with scarcely an exception, all who arrived during the first five years were from some of the New England States.
The town settled with great rapidity, and in less than three years, most of it was in the hands of actual settlers .*
In the winter of 1800-'01, it is believed no family but that of Jesse Blodget, re-
mained in town. The next winter was remarkably open, and land was plowed in March. This may have created a highly favorable opinion of the climate of the new town, although the occur- rence was not peculiar to this section in that year.
That portion of the town south of Deer river, between Copenhagen and Denmark villlage, early acquired the name of Halifax, and prejudices were raised against it, but fifty years of culti- vation have shown that it is equal toany part of the town.
The first physician who settled at Co- penhagen was Dr. Dunn, but he removed to the Genesee country in 1804, and in the year following Dr. John Loud settled and remained till his death, March 3, 1831, at the age of fifty-two.
The first framed house in Denmark village was built by Freedom Wright, first inn-keeper, and the first in Copen- hagen by Levi Barnes.
In the spring of 1801, the Nathan Mun- gers (father and son), millwrights, having had their attention called to the Black River country, came down the river and followed up the Deer river to half a mile above the falls where they selected a site for mills, and in that season finished a saw-mill and got it in operation. The proprietors to encourage the enterprise gave them the water privilege from the High falls up over two miles. In 1803, they got a small grist-mill with one run of burr stones in operation, in time to grind the first wheat raised in the town as soon as it was in condition for use. The mill stood directly below the upper saw-mill in Copenhagen village, and its vicinity gradually receiving a number of mechanics, acquired the name of Mun- ger's Mills.
The first store was opened at this place by Urial Twitchell* and the first inn on the hill south of the village was

kept by Andrew Mills. A beaver meadow, now a broad and beautiful in- tervale just above the village, afforded the first hay used in the settlement.
It so happened that most of those liv- ing at this place were Federalists, and as politics then ran, were presumed to sym- pathize with British measures. Soon after the arrival of the news of the bom- bardment of Copenhagen in Europe in 1807, by a British fleet, in time of peace, and under circumstances that were re- garded throughout Christendom as high- ly disgraceful to the assailants, a politi- cal meeting was held at Munger's Mills, by the Republicans as then styled. Their business being done, some one proposed to christen the place Copenhagen, in de- rision of the party who were in duty bound to justify the recent outrage in Europe. The name was at once adopt- ed, and a few years after it was applied to their post-office. The town had pre- viously been named by the Legislature, which rendered the new name to this village the more appropriate, as the largest village in town.
We have the means for furnishing the names of most of the men living in this town, and two others adjoining, all then comprising the town of Harrisburgh, in the State Electoral census of 1807. We. have carefully arranged them in alpha- betical order, to facilitate reference.
