INCIDENTS OF SETTLEMENT.
Settlement upon Township No. 3 was delayed until October, 1798, when Eleazer House, Ezra Clapp, Winthrop Shepard, David Kendall, Alexander Cooley and others, purchased on the East road op- posite Houseville, in March, 1799; they returned and worked through the season. Mr. House built a saw-mill, put up the frame of a house and barn, and in March, 1800, moved his family. He resided on the East road till 1808, when he moved to the place since known as Houseville. He kept an inn from his first removal till near the time of his death. He was active in opposing Clapp and others in the location of the State road, on the route finally chosen, and labored hard to secure a business point at his mill. A grist mill was built in 1816, and anoth- er many years after by his son, Leonard House. The latter stood on the present site of Rumble's mill, and was built Feb- ruary 10, 1851. An incident occurred near Houseville in the summer of 1808, which is worth preserving, as belonging to the primitive days of settlement. The country abounded in wild animals, es- pecially wolves, bears and deer, and the former became so bold as to carry off on one occasion a sheep from the field of Mr. Clapp, by daylight, although Mrs. Clapp endeavored to frighten away the
beast. Upon the date mentioned, Mr. Clapp found a large black wolf in a trap, half a mile west of the house, and with his neighbor's help, beat him with clubs until he was thought to be dead. He then took the wolf before him on horse- back, and brought him to his barn, but as he evinced signs of life on the way, it was thought safe to secure him by a chain around the neck, the trap remain- ing upon his leg. Half an hour after the wolf was as active as ever, and the set- tlers upon learning the circumstance, assembled from far and near to in- dulge in savage sport with the chained enemy of their flocks. Many large dogs were provoked to attack him separately, but one snap from his powerful jaws sent them howling from the barn, nor could they be induced to ap- proach a second time. Having wearied themselves with this brutal amusement, his captors at length ended his life by a rifle shot.
The writer, in boyhood, often heard related an incident that happened in the early days of settlement (about 1803 or 1804), upon the East road, somewhat southward from the present village of Houseville in this town. The participants in the affair have all passed off long ago, but the moral of the story remains.
Several young carpenters were at work upon a house, towards one of whom a damsel of the neighborhood had formed an ardent affection. She might not have been discreet, but she took occasion to express her love in a way that gave the comrades of the young man an occasion for joking him without mercy. He tried to get rid of her attentions, and finally used the horse-whip upon her. This being known, a party of young men, disguised to prevent recognition, seized the ungallant object of misplaced affec- tion, and rode him one moonlight evening a long distance on a rail. He identified some of them, who were sued for dam-
512

ages, and fined one hundred dollars apiece for their amusement. This same young man afterwards married this young woman, and both of them died many years ago, very old.
About 1812, several teamsters stopping at House's tavern, noticed wolf tracks about, which the party followed until they found the animal concealed un- der a log. He was killed by one of them with a hemlock knot, within a quar- ter of a mile of Houseville.
Deer were accustomed to cross over from the hills on the west to the forests east of the river, at the point known as " Proven's Hill," at the former gate -. house of the Turin plank road, and also at a point half a mile south of Turin village. They would begin to appear late in the evening, and in the course of the night, hundreds would cross. On one occasion Mr. Clapp built a yard en- closed with a high tree-fence on three sides, the fourth being a steep descent, and in one night forty deer were caught in this enclosure. As late as 1830, num- bers of deer were shot at Proven's Hill.
The last wolf hunt in this town oc- curred in the swamp adjacent to this place in the summer of 1836, when three or four of these animals were traced thither, but although many persons surrounded the woods, they mostly escaped.
On the 17th of October, 1860, a bear was started in this town near the river, and chased several miles up through the woods, parallel with and east of the State road to near the Turin grave-yard. It then crossed north of the village, and was finally killed near the top of the hill. To settle the claims of captors, the hide and tallow were sold at auction, and the pro- ceeds divided among twenty-three claim- ants. The former brought $4.50, and the latter $5.75, making the dividend a fraction over 44 cents.
ยท An anecdote is told of a citizen of this
town, who took a number of cattle to sell at Ogdensburgh soon after the war. Up- on learning that the Canadians would pay a higher price, he crossed over to make a bargain. He asked a shilling per pound for beef, but could only get an offer of ten pence, and after wrangling a long time, he at length accepted. Up- on being paid he was pleasantly surprised at receiving a much greater sum than was expected, for while he had been talking in New York currency, his pur- chaser was dealing in sterling money.
The first mill in Turin was a stump mortar, made by Christopher Clobridge, in 1797, in the eastern border of the town, on the farm afterwards owned by Nathan W. Douglass. To this the first settlers were accustomed to resort, when Shaler's mill at Constableville, was not running. The first grist-mill in the present town of Turin was built by Giles Foster, at the present site of the mill af- terward owned by Cadwell Dewey, on the East road. It was once burnt.
SCHOOLS, LIBRARY, ETC.
Schools were first established about 1801. The first measure taken for the visitation of schools was in 1807, when in the entire absence of law upon the subject, the town appointed the Rev. James Murdock, Elder Stephen Parsons, Deacon Timothy Hill, David Kendall, Ebenezer Baldwin and Richard Cone a committee to inspect the schools.
Late in 1813, a special town meeting was called to organize schools under the law. The town was divided into eight districts. Oliver Bush, Levi Collins and Seth Miller, Sr., were chosen School Commissioners, and on the Ist of Decem- ber the Justices appointed Judah Barnes, William Constable, Duel Goff, Willard Allen, John Hooker and Dr. Walter Dewey, first School Inspectors.
The Turin Social Library was formed
513
HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF TURIN.
under the act of June 14, 1814, although a subscription had been started April 20th, previous. In 1839, its prosperity ceased with the formation of school libra- ries, and in the fall of 1849, it was dis- solved, and its books, about 600 in num- ber, were divided among the proprietors. The first trustees were Levi Hart, Eben- ezer Baldwin, Dr. Walter Dewey, Henry Graves,* Duel Goff, John P. Kentner and Martin Hart. During most of its existence it was kept with scrupulous care by Amos Higby, Jr.
Probably the earliest literary associa- tion in the county was formed in this town, July 28, 1809, as a debating club. Their preamble read as follows :-
" For the promotion of literature, bene- fit of society, and advancement of useful knowledge in Turin, we the undersigned do form ourselves into a society with the title of The Columbian Society, and knowing that no society can flourish without well regulated laws and strict rules, we do all and each of us bind our- selves in penalty, declared in thefollowing laws, to obey them in every particular, and further to promote the institution as lies in our power."
The constitution was signed by Martin Hart, John Hooker, Levi Collins, Homer Collins, Urial Hooker, Walter Dewey, Chester Hoadley and Cordial Storrs.
We are not informed of the subsequent history of this "Institution," nor were the debates reported in any journal that we have seen. The first question dis- cussed probably settled for all time the doubt as to "Which has been the most beneficial to society ? the discovery and use of metals, or the labor and use of animals."
On the 30th of April, 1839, the Turin academy was incorporated but it was never organized. The trustees named in the act were Emory B. Holden, Geo. J. Fowler, Nathaniel Hart, Selden Ives, Leonard H. Humason, Orrin Wool-
worth, Charles G. Riggs, Cadwell Dewey, Albert A. White, Ozias Wilcox and Enoch Lee.
. RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
A railroad accident occurred in this town, in the spring of 1869, which caused the death of Hugh Crocker, the Super- intendent of the road. It was occasioned by the settling of a sandy embank- ment, when softened by heavy rains. The engine, which had no train attached, was thrown down the embankment and others narrowly escaped.
DAIRYING INTERESTS.
The town of Turin is noted for the excellence of its farming land, which has scarcely no waste, and is particularly well adapted for dairying. At the present time there are six cheese factories in town, viz. : "Turin Factory," C. D. Hadcock ; " Welch Hill," Robert T. Evans; "Houseville Factory," James H. Smith ; "Carpenter Factory," Orrin Carpenter ; " Valley Factory," Girard Perkins; and "Loudon Valley Factory," on the hill near the line of Martinsburgh, Girard Perkins.
The "Utica & Black River R. R." passes through this town, but has no station. The business by railroad chiefly goes to Lyons Falls or Glensdale.
TURIN VILLAGE.
This place, formerly best known as " Turin Four Corners," lies on the south- ern edge of this town, and had in 1880, a population of 419. It was incorporated under the general act, November 29, 1873, when its population by a special census taken upon that occasion was 384 .*
* Mr. Graves was the first merchant in Turin village.
* Population by the census of 1870, 552. In 1880 it was reported at 419. We do not believe that the popu- lation decreased lo this extent, within this period, nor do we think the statistics of the census of 1880 general- ly, in any degree reliable.

Charles Crofoot, President ; Julius L. Clark, George H. Carter, Trustees ; Robert N. Evans, Treasurer ; Albert A. Williston, Collector.
The area of the village is one square mile. A code of ordinances and by-laws wasadopted January 31, 1874, and printed soon after.
In 1878, an engine-house was built at a cost of about $1,500, an engine having been owned since 1872, costing $800. A graded school was established in Turin village in 1868.
The village has suffered from several fires, one of which, December 25, 1869, burned over the corner on which the Riggs' Block now stands, and one May 6, 1880, consumed two hotels and Mr. John Strong's store.
The present business of the village may be stated as follows :-

A brass band was organized June I, 1859, but it was broken up in 1862, by several of its members going into the army. There is at present another, known as the "Turin Cornet Brass Band," of fifteen members, William R. Pritchard, leader.
A mile east of this village there was for many years a woolen factory, run by Cadwell Dewey. Upon his becoming insolvent, the work was suspended, ex- cepting as it has since been run as a carding mill in summer. There was also near this factory, and under the same ownership, a grist-mill.
It will be noticed from the repeated mention of the name of Charles G. Riggs, that he is connected with several busi- ness enterprises in this town. He is a native of Lee, Oneida county, and came to reside in Martinsburgh about 1831, and in Turin in 1833. There are now but sixteen persons living in the village who

[JOHN STRONG.]
JOHN STRONG.
John Strong was born in New York City, January 2, 1821. His father was Thomas Strong, a native of England, who came to this country about 1790, and settled in New York, where his after life was passed. He was a farmer and brewer of some repute. His wife was Maria Peers, a native of New York, and a member of the Episcopal church. Both died when their children were young. Mr. Strong has one brother, Dr. James Strong, of Drew Theological Seminary, Madison, N. J. John was educated in Fitch's Academy, Bloom- ingdale, in the vicinity of which place he lived till 1838, when he came to Turin, where he married Elizabeth Foster, June 22, 1841. She was a daughter of Sylvester Foster, and was born in Islip, Long Island, August 16, 1823, and died February 14, 1869. Mr. Strong again married September 29, 1869, his second wife being Mary E., only daughter of Joseph House, of
Houseville, Lewis county, who was born March 5, 1836.
Mr. Strong has lived a quiet and well ordered life, and has struggled hard to secure a competency by honesty and persevering efforts. He is a farmer of some reputation, an owner of real estate in New York, and is recognized as a man of industry, integrity and honor. He was a member of the Methodist church twenty-five years, and has taken no interest in politics except to perform his elective duty as a citizen. His chil- dren are: Amelia, born July 23, 1842, married Robert D. Rhodes, June 14, 1865 ; Frances D., born September 4, 1844, married G. Gary Bush, February 22, 1867, and died November 27, 1872; John H., born October 29, 1846, married Lamoine Whitaker, October 30, 1869; Elizabeth F., born April 2, 1850, died June 12, 1861 ; Maria A., born April 9, 1852, married Levi N.

resided here when he came forty-nine years ago. By trade a tinsmith, he has carried on this business from the begin- ning, but for many years has conducted an extensive hardware trade, and a con- siderable amount of manufactures in the way of wagons and carriages. In the latter he usually employs from eight to ten men. He has been actively engaged in various public measures, and has been, we believe, from the beginning, under its present form, an officer of the County- Agricultural Society.
HOUSEVILLE VILLAGE.
This is a quiet hamlet, finished many years ago, and with no great prospect of its ever being more than what it is to-day, and has been for fifty years-a quiet neighborhood of families-along a quarter of a mile or so of a street in summer darkened by maple shade. It has its church, its tavern, a store, a blacksmith shop, and a neatly fenced graveyard. The place owes its name to Eleazer House and his descendants, who have from the first been the owners of most of the farming lands adjacent. The family came from Glastonbury, Conn. As they were moving into the country, they had a heavy load drawn by a yoke of oxen and a horse. On getting up the hill at Talcott's, in Leyden, they got set, and partly tipped over, so that they were compelled to call on the Talcott young men to help pry up the load, which they did cheerfully and effectually. In return for this civility, Mr. House would fain return a token of thanks in the form of a drink from a cask of spirits which formed a part of his load, but he had neither cup nor glass.
Necessity is the mother of invention, and seeing a cow-bell hung upon some part of the load, he untied it, drew a liberal draught, and handed it to those who had thus befriended him in a time of need.
Afterwards, in traveling through the country, the House and Talcott men seldom met without speaking of the cow- bell, and it became the subject of many a merry joke and exaggerated story around the bar-room fire.
Eleazer House first settled on the East road, opposite the present village, and about a mile distant, where he built a mill. . Upon the location of the State road he moved over to what is now Houseville, and about 1801, built the first hotel, which still remains in use, and is, perhaps, the best representative of the old-fashioned hotels for which this thoroughfare was noted, before the days of railroads, that could be found any- where in the country. Its ample barns, its open inviting sheds, and its watering trough, its ball-room, and its bar-room, are very much as in the olden time.
The village has no manufactures, and but one store, now kept by Ebenezer F. Jones. A cheese factory stands some distance to the east, operated by James H. Smith; it stands on the site of one burned May 1, 1867, with a loss of about $5,000. A mile east on House's creek, is a grist-mill, owned by Charles Rumble & Son. A cheese-box factory and a steam saw-mill, owned by Gary G. Morgan, a mile southwest, completes the inventory of the industrial interests of this vicinity, other than those of the farms.
