ONEIDA COMMUNITY MANUFACTURES.

On the Seneca turnpike, east of Oneida Castle, is a large brick building, owned by the Oneida Community, and erected in 1864, on the site of an old plaster-mill which was the property of a Mr. Wager. The present factory began operations in 1865. The articles manufactured are steel-traps and sewing-silk. A wheel-barrow factory near by also belongs to the Community, but is rented to another party, who conducts the business on his own account. In the hardware department, at the time it was visited (June 10, 1878), thirty-eight hands were employed ; this number is often increased to sixty or seventy. The silk depart- ment, when full, furnishes work to about one hundred hands. The capital formerly employed in these departments was $200,000, but has been considerably reduced. The sales of traps in 1877 amounted to the sum of $87,450, and those of silks much more. The main buildings of the Com- munity are located in the picturesque valley of Oneida Crcek, immediately over the line in Madison County, south from the village of Oneida Castle, and are tasty and sub- stantial in appearance. Various literary entertainments are given by the Community during the year, which are largely attended by the people living outside.

Fire Department .- The " Vernon Village Fire Company" was organized June 18, 1827. A small hand-engine had been previously purchased, and this year it was repaired, and a quantity of new hose procured. The same was done in 1831. On the 29th of June, 1833, a new fire company was organized, with seventeen members. A new engine was purchased in 1840, and an engine-house built, eosting $150. The latter has sinee been enlarged. A hand-engine was purchased from second hands in 1872, at a cost of $300, together with 200 feet of hose, costing $210. Two reservoirs have been constructed and walled up with stone, to be used in ease of fire. The village has several times been in danger of destruction by the flames, but the efforts of the firemen prevented such a disaster. The membership of the department June 11, 1878, was 35, and its officers the following, viz. : Josiah W. Jenkins, Foreman ; John H. Wood, Assistant Foreman ; Daniel Burke, Secretary and Treasurer ; W. H. Hills, Foreman of Hose.

J. B. Loomis, the present elerk of the village, is the grandson of Esquire Ephraim Blaekmer and Nathaniel Loomis, who located in the county early, both in West- moreland; the house of the latter is yet standing upon the line between Westmoreland and Whitestown. Mr. Loomis settled about 1792. Mr. Blackmer died when compara-

tively a young man. His daughter, the wife of John Loomis, and mother of J. B. Loomis, of Vernon, resided on one place for more than seventy years.

Salmon Case, from Norfolk, Litchfield Co., Conn., eame to this village in 1813, and resided here until his death, in 1871. He was married in 1817 to Maria Pierson, daugh- ter of Benjamin Pierson, who settled in the place about 1800. He had previously lived in Cazenovia, Madison Co., and upon removing to Vernon built, in 1801-2, the front part of the tavern now owned by A. B. Pardee, in the east part of the village. The portion which he erected was an addition to a building which was standing when he eame, and previously kept as a tavern by one of the Hubbelis. Mr. Pierson died while visiting in Con- neeticut.

When Salmon Case eame here he opened a " country store," and in time considerably enlarged his stoek to meet the demands of his growing and successful trade. He was the first eashier of the old Bank of Vernon, and a promi- nent man among the Whig politicians, being the candidate of the latter for Congress in 1844; owing to their then hopeless minority in this district he was defeated. He was twiee supervisor of the town. From the faet of his eoming here as a druggist, he was always ealled " Doetor" Case. Although not connected with any of the churches of the village, he aided largely in their support, and was also chiefly instrumental in establishing the old academy.

The oldest residents of the village at present are Mrs. Salmon Case, who came here when but a year or two old (born in Cazenovia in 1799) with her father ; and Benja- min S. Williams, whose father, Thomas Williams, was one of the early settlers. Another (younger) son of the latter, Thomas Williams, Jr., is also a resident of the village. Thomas Williams, Sr., owned an extensive tannery in the southeast part of the village, which was finally burned down and never rebuilt. Mr. Williams eame here from New Hartford in 1803 (his father, Thomas Williams, was originally from Roxbury, Mass.), and built his tannery. His father and his uncle (Ezekiel Williams) were in the same business at New Hartford. Mr. Williams had here at one time one of the largest tanneries in this region. His son, Benjamin S. Williams, now in his seventy-second year, is the oldest native of the corporation now living within it. In connection with his tannery, Thomas Williams condueted the business of shoe and harness making and currying. He was a deaeon in the Presbyterian Church at the village.

The Vernon post-office was established early in the history of the place, and the mail earried over a route extending between it and Peterboro', Madison County. Ward Root, now living southwest of Vernon village, ear- ried mail between these two places when a young man. The present ineumbent of the office at Vernon is Ralph MeIntosh, who also has a law-office in the place ; his deputy is M. P. Brewer.

Mrs. Charles Kellogg, of Utiea, is a daughter of Abra- ham Van Eps, the patentee of the traet on which the village of Vernon is located, who has been previously mentioned as the first merehant here or in the county.

The hotel now owned by C. Turner, and known as the " Empire House," was built for a dwelling by Hezekiah

579

HISTORY OF ONEIDA COUNTY, NEW YORK.

and Asa Ames (brothers), who had a earding-machine and fulling-mill on or near the Seanandoa Creek. The build- ing was converted into a hotel, probably by Mr. Brown, who occupied it but a short time. Shelburn Ives, now deecased, owned and occupied it afterwards for many years.

The old Hubbell-afterwards Pierson-Tavern was the first one in the place. During the present season (1878) it has been greatly enlarged and improved. The present residence of A. Judson was long kept as a hotel, its first occupant in that capacity probably being Samuel Gay, who kept it as early as 1813. Whether it was built for a hotel or a dwelling is not at present certain.

A public library association was formed at Vernon in 1806, the following proceedings at its organization being taken from its records, which are preserved no later than 1811 :

"VERNON, April 8. 1806.

The library was incorporated April 14, 1806, and on the same date a eode of by-laws was adopted for its regulation.

The village has at present one resident lawyer, Ralph MeIntosh, in whose office D. C. Burke and Sheldon S. Judson are students. The physicians are Drs. Isaae Free- man, F. A. Gary, and - Chamberlain. Philander P. Root is a student with Dr. Gary.

NATIONAL BANK OF VERNON.

This institution was organized under the laws of the State as the " Bank of Vernon," in 1839, with a capital of $100,000. John J. Knox was the first President, and Salmon Case first Cashier. The original Board of Directors consisted of the following persons, viz. : Abraham Van Eps, John J. Knox, Salmon Case, John Currie, Joseph L. Wil- liams, Charles Kirtland, John P. Sherwood, Calvary Wet- more, and Levi Skinner. The present stone bank building was erected the same year (1839). The bank was continued under the State law until 1865, when it was changed to a National bank, with the same amount of capital. The successor to Salmon Case as Cashier was T. F. Hand, now Cashier of the " Oneida Valley National Bank," at Oneida, and he, in turn, was succeeded by Everett Case, in 1851 ; the latter still continues in that capacity. Josiah Case is President, and George W. Dodge Vice-President, of the bank at this time. Josiah Case succeeded General J. J. Knox as President in 1862, and has held the position since. The present Board of Directors is composed of the following per- sons : George W. Dodge, Warren G. Strong, W. S. Todd, Joel H. Hills, A. Pierson Case, R. McIntosh, W. J. Me- Kown, Josiah Case, B. M. Webber. Three attempts have been made to burglarize this bank, but the vault was not reached at either time. The last attenipt was in the spring of 1876. Some of the tools used at that time were se- ereted about a mile from the village, and were found on the confession of one of the would-be thieves. They are in possession of the bank as curiosities.

In this village is a factory owned by Bullard Brothers, where are made " seythe-rifles" (emeried seythe-sharp- eners). It was established by the present proprietors many years ago, and is the only institution of the kind in the county. The market for its manufactures is New York City.

The village also contains four mercantile establishments, a saw-mill and grist-mill, a drain-tile factory, and numerous inechanie shops. The grist-mill was built for Abraham Van Eps, the first mill-wright being Robert Richardson, who erected and occupied the dwelling now owned by A. P. Case. Mr. Richardson also owned a brewery in the place. The Granger Brothers at one time had a factory here for making glass bottles ; and a window-glass factory, which was owned and operated by a stock company, was located south of the village, and known as "Sherman's factory," from its manager, Willett Sherman. These fae- tories did an extensive business ; the one at which bottles were made was afterwards removed to Saeondaga, Saratoga Co., and the window-glass establishment to Cleveland, O., and both are yet in existence. A small glass-factory was. operated a short time at " Turkey Street," but was- soon discontinued, and nothing of the kind has a present existence in the town.

THE VILLAGE OF VERNON CENTRE

is located southeast of Vernon village, and contains two stores, two churches, and the usual number and variety of shops found in a village of its size.

A post-office was established here soon after the war of 1812, and the first postmaster (or nearly the first) was Pitt

HISTORY OF ONEIDA COUNTY, NEW YORK.

Cody, who kept the office in his shoc-shop. He is now living in Wisconsin. His father, Samuel Cody, was a jus- tice of the peace. The early mails were carried in saddle- bags, on horseback, and before this office was established the nearest was at Vernon village. The present postmaster at the Centre is Willis Walter.

Mrs. P. M. Pettibone, now living in the village, is in her cighty-seventh year, and came into the town in 1811, with a family named Ward, to visit her cousins, who were then living here. Her maiden name was Humphrey, and she was from Simsbury, Hartford Co., Conn. She was after- wards married to Elisha Pettibone, from Norfolk, Conn., who settled here about the same time.

The " Pettibone House," now occupied by A. S. White, was built very early, and Mrs. Pettibone says it was origi- nally a " small concern." One Mr. Hill was among its early landlords. It is not now recollected who built it. After Mr. Pettibone came he purchased and rebuilt it in its pres- ent shape. He had painted upon it the words, " Elisha Pettibone's Hotel." It is at present the property of Jay Pettibonc.

While Mr. Pettibone was completing his hotel a second one was started, in opposition to it, by a man named Hills, on the ground where the Methodist Episcopal parsonage now stands. This was discontinued after Mr. Pettibone became settled, which circumstance occurred on New Year's day, about 1818. The latter gentleman owned a distillery north of the village, and operated it for many years. He happened to be at Buffalo during the war of 1812, at the time the place was burned, although he was not a soldier.

As early as 1817-18 a store was kept opposite the hotel by Sylvester Herrick ; it was the only one then in the vil- lage, and was one of the first established.

John Barber, the father of Jonathan Barber (the latter now a resident of the village), came into the town in 1813, and located north of Vernon village. He was from Cam- bridge, Washington Co., and originally from Ireland.

For information received in this town we are indebted to John B. Avery, M. L. Carr, Mrs. Timothy Jenkins and daughter (Mrs. Hickox), the Misses Parkhurst, and others, at Oneida Castle ; Mrs. Salmon Case and sons (A. P. and Everett), Henry A. Williams, Benjamin S. Williams, J. B. Loomis, J. Sherman Carpenter, and others, at Vernon ; the proprietors of the Oneida Community manufactories ; Mrs. P. M. Pettibone and others, at Vernon Centre; and the members of religious denominations, and many others throughout the town.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.

DANIEL G. DORRANCE,

son of the late Dr. John Dorrance, was born at Peterboro', Madison Co., N. Y., March 13, 1811, of New England parentage. His early life was spent upon a farm and as clerk in a store in his native village. At the age of nineteen he entered Cazenovia Seminary, and for about two years pur- sued medical studies, with a view to practice as a physician.

In 1832 he became a resident of Florence, Oneida County, N. Y., and was engaged as clerk for J. S. T. Stranahan and the late Gerrit Smith. In 1837 he was married to Ann Sparrow, of Florence, N. Y., and commenced business as a country merchant, remaining engaged thercin until 1859. He was the land-agent of Hon. Gerrit Smith from 1840 until his removal from the town ; has since 1840 bcen a large dealer in lands, and is now owner of a large quantity situ- ated in several counties in this State, and also in Western States. In 1859 he removed to Oneida Castle, town of Vernon, N. Y., where he now resides. The grounds occu- pied by him as his residence may be considered almost classi- cal, or, at least, historical, as a portion was occupied by the Rev. Samuel Kirkland, a missionary to the Oneida Indians who came among them in 1766, and the old mission-house formerly stood near a corner of his garden.

Mr. Dorrance's public positions have been postmaster, supervisor, member of Assembly in 1846 from Oneida County in the Legislature of the State of New York, and he represented the same county in the Senate in 1854 and 1855. He was one of the original corporators and directors of the Fort Stanwix Bank, in Rome, N. Y., in 1848, and has continuously been in the direction of that institution ; is also president of the Oneida Savings Bank, at Oneida ; vice- president and director in the Oneida Valley National Bank, and is the senior member of the banking firm of D. G. & J. G. Dorrance, of Camden, N. Y.

His success in life, pecuniarily, is the result of industry, economy, close attention to business, and the adoption in carly life of the rule (which is so sadly neglected by many at the present day) of living within his income, or in spend- ing less than he earned.

CHAPTER XLIII.

VERONA.

THIS town lies on the central western border of the county, and has an area of 41,796 acres. Its western boundary is formed by Oneida Creek and Oneida Lake, and its northern by Wood Creek. It is also watered by Stony Creek and various smaller streams, each having a tortuous course, and finding its way ultimately into some one of the two tributaries of the lake. The town is within the Oneida Reservation, the lands of which were sold at auction in August, 1797. The portion of Verona south- east of the Erie Canal is generally undulating, but hardly rising to the dignity of hills, while the northwestern por- tion is very level, with barely sufficient slope towards Oneida Lake to admit of drainage. The latter part bears unmis- takable evidence of having been at one period covered by the waters of the lake. It has a deep, rich, alluvial soil, and was originally covered with a dense growth of beech, maple, elm, oak, ash, and hemlock, with some cedar and pine. The New York Central and Hudson River Railway passes across the southern part of the town, having a station at Verona Depot. The dairying interest in this town is large, there being ninc or ten cheese-factories in operation. The first one erected in town was at Verona village; it has

since been considerably enlarged, and is now the most ex- tensive in the town. The second was built at New London.

This town was formed Feb. 17, 1802, from a part of Westmoreland, and at that time contained 102 families and 439 inhabitants. A very good quality of iron ore is found, also an excellent building-stone. In the southeast part of town is exposed for some distance a fine outerop of the Oneida Conglomerate. In the same vicinity are located the noted

VERONA SPRINGS.

This loeality was well known to the Indians, who diseov- ered the spring. The place was also a famous " deer-lick," from the salt which abounded, and an old squaw once told Dr. Hunt that " Indian climb hemlock-tree and shoot deer," which came to the spot for salt. The spring was known to the Indians as the " medieine spring," and is the only one of the kind known in this country. A water-eure was established here by Dr. Seymour Curtiss in 1850. The spring was first brought into general publie notice about 1830. The channel of the creek in which it was discovered was turned aside, and a bathing-house built over the spring. A large boarding-house was erceted a few rods distant. The present proprietor is Dr. Nelson Hunt, who, with his wife, Mrs. A. A. Hunt, M.D., are both graduates of a medical eol- lege, and attend to all eases which the water of this spring is recommended to eure. The establishment is filled with boarders every summer, the season beginning June 1 and lasting till about the 1st of November. At one time it was kept open till January 1. Most of the boarders eome prin- cipally as patients, although many spend the season here for mere pleasure, who have formerly been patients and have acquired a relish for the water. The following is an analysis of the water of the Verona Mineral Spring, made by Prof. Peter Collier, of the Vermont University :
