February 9, 1793, Colonel David Norton and his family moved into town from Arlington, Bennington Co., Vt. The colonel kept a diary on his journey the previous year to the western country, on a tour of exploration, from which the following are extracts :

" May 28, 1792 .- Set out from Arlington to view the western country.

" June 1 .- Rode to Whitestown, thirteen miles from German Flats, to James Ferguson's; from thence to Colonel Sanger's, four miles; from theace to Samnel Ferguson's, two miles. Whitestown is mostly level ; the soil rich, but poorly watered. The timber is maple, heech, elm, bass, hemlock, and butteront.

" Monday, June 4 .- Went to Clinton, and thence through the In- dian lands, the soil of which is excellent, the ground being covered with nettles and other herbage, four miles; from thence to the twen- tieth township, which is thirteen miles from Colonel Sanger's, by way of Clinton, and lodged nt Stratton's.

" Thursday, June 7 .- A rainy day ; viewed in other parts of the town. Land rich, hilly, and well watered. Lodged nt Dyer's.

" Friday, June 8 .- Went to view lots No. 41, 38, and 27. Level ;

timber mostly maple, with some hass, elm, beech, butternut, cherry, and two cedar swamps, with pine and bemlock; a braoch of the Arisca [Oriskany] running through 38, and a small pond on 27. Lodged at Stratton's.

" Saturday, June 9 .- Returned to Colonel Sanger's by Colonel Tut- tle's [Paris Hill], and bought of Colonel Sanger lots Nos. 38 and 27, und tarried at Samuel Ferguson's."

Colonel Norton became one of the most prominent men in the settlement. He was the first justice of the peace, the first supervisor, the first captain and first colonel in the militia, and the first postmaster after the post-office was re- moved to the centre. His name appears almost uniformly foremost in all the early enterprises of the town, be they religious, civil, political, or social. The first wedding in town was that of his eldest daughter, Hannah Norton, and Sylvanus Dyer, whose marriage took place Oct. 30, 1793, the ceremony being performed by Esquire Tuttle, as his first attempt in that line. Every person in the town was invited, and not one failed to be present.

As previously stated, the season of 1792 was disastrous to the crops of the settlers, and matters appeared gloomy enough. However, in 1793 affairs brightened, corn and all other kinds of grain which had been sown ripened to the greatest perfection, and the hearts of the pioncers were made glad and their granaries overflowed with the plenitude of the harvest, and the following year, 1794, witnessed the arrival in the town, during the spring and summer, of about forty families. Among them were Daniel Brown, Saul Smith, Thomas King, Daniel King, Solomon Williams, Samuel Williams, Justus and Ebenezer Hale, and Benjamin Dewey. The latter purchased a lot of Colonel Sanger. It is said he was the creditor of a person for whom, by an ar- rangement, the colonel was to pay the debt in land. The latter accompanied Mr. Dewey to point out to him his land, and took him first to lot No. 44, then bearing a most gloomy and uninviting aspect, but since having become very pro- ductive. Dewey, after viewing it to his satisfaction, " felt indignant, and considered it an insult that the colonel should seek to pay an honest debt with such a tangled soli- tary waste, and, turning to the colonel, he impatiently ex- claimed, ' Well, colonel, if you have got any more land just show it, for I'll not take this bear's hole anyway !'"

The first framed house in town was built by Zerah Phelps, and the second by Ebenezer Hale. In those days bricks were exceedingly scarce, and none could be procured with which to build ovens. Mrs. Minierva Hale was the fortu- nate possessor of a bake-kettle, which, being the only one in the settlement, was consequently in great demand, and hardly had time to cool. Mrs. Ebenezer Hale said she baked in it altogether the flour and meal of forty-two bushels of grain, mostly by the fire of burning log-heaps in the clear- ings. This is two bushels ahead of Mrs. Samuel Royce, the wife of one of the first settlers of Camden, who, during the first summer that she lived in that town, baked eight barrels of flour in her bake-kettle. That convenient utensil, in Mrs. Hale's casc, was finally allowed to rest, as Mr. Hale secured some bricks in the fall and built a bake-oven, when his wife in turn dispensed its benefits to the neighborhood.

In this year (1794) Justus and Ebenezer Hale opened at their dwelling-house the first store in town, and also furnished accommodations to travelers,

During the same summer the first school was taught by Polly Dyer, in the house of Colonel Norton.

The first death-that of Sibyl Knowlton, daughter of Henry Knowlton-occurred the same season, and her mother died about a month afterwards. They were buried near the residence of Nathaniel Ford.

In consideration for naming this town Sangerfield, Col- onel Sanger agreed to present a cask of rum at the first town-meeting, and fifty acres of land to the church of any religious denomination which should build the first house for public worship.

"Many of the first settlers had selected New Lisbon as the name for their new town, and their disappointment and chagrin were manifested by giving that name to the Congregational society which was formed soon afterwards, and thus they made the society with the rejected name the recipient of Colonel Sanger's bounty. It does not appear that the colonel was at all chargeable with the 'unfair means' which were attributed by those displeased with the name to those who had heen instrumental in procuring it. His promise was honorably fulfilled by furnishing a cask of choice rum for the first town-meeting, and hy con- veying twenty-five acres of land to the Congregational society and twenty-five aeres to the Baptists, the former being the first religious society and the latter erecting the first church edifice. The two twenty- five aere lots were parts of lot No. 45."

The number of taxable inhabitants in what is now San- gerfield, in 1796, was 85 ; the total assessment of real and personal property was $4475, and tax upon it, including collector's fees ($5.35), was $108.56. The highest indi- vidual tax was that of Benjamin White, who paid the sum of $5.04.

In September, 1795, Dr. Stephen Preston became a resi- dent of the town, and was the first physician who settled within its limits. For over thirty years he enjoyed an extensive practice, and was also for many years a justice of the peace.

Daniel Eclls, Sr., settled in that part of Sangerfield after- wards included in Bridgewater in 1796, but in 1797 re- moved to New Hartford, where he died. He was a native of Connecticut, and a veteran of the Revolution, being one of the number who aided in throwing up the earthwork at Bunker Hill on the night of June 16, 1775.

SCHOOLS.

The first school in the town of Sangerfield has been mentioned. From the town records it appears that the proportion of school moneys appropriated for the town of Sangerfield in 1795, by the Board of Supervisors of Herk- imer County, was £46. The Supervisors at that time were James Dean, Roswell Fellows, Ludwick Campbell, David Norton, Joshua Remington, Joseph Jennings, Isaac Bray- ton, Stephen Hoxie.

Schools were established as they became necessary in various parts of the town, and from the first have been well sustained, even when only lines of blazed trees showed the children the way to the primitive log buildings in which they received the rudiments of an education. The schools at present in existence in the town are in a flourishing con- dition. Select schools have in several instances existed for longer or shorter periods.

The present union school building in Waterville was erected in 1872, at a cost of $20,000. The school has four departments,-academie, grammar, primary, and sub-

primary. The annex, used for the sub-primary department, is a two-story frame building, standing thirty feet north of the main structure, and was purchased in the spring of 1878; it was formerly used as a dwelling. Nine teachers are employed, the principal for 1878 being George R. Cutting. The school is regularly graded, and has the entire attend- ance of the village, averaging from 350 to 400. The total value of the school property, exclusive of furniture, is about $25,000. The Board of Education consists of the following persons, viz. : G. H. Church, President ; H. P. Bigelow, Secretary ; C. B. Terry, W. B. Candee, F. H. Terry, M. P. Cady, J. J. Bennett, H. J. Coggeshall, W. B. Goodwin.

RELIGIOUS SOCIETIES.

Congregational Church, Sangerfield Centre .- On the 5th day of January, 1794, a subscription paper was circu- lated to raise funds to pay for preaching. On the 14th of the saine month a meeting was held to appoint a committee to carry into effect the wishes of the settlers. David Nor- ton was chairman, and Nathan Gurney clerk. The members of the committee were Nathaniel Ford, Ebenezer Tenney, and Justus Hale. The last vote passed at this meeting was, " that the above committee-men shall hire a minister four Sundays on probation." This was the first organized effort to secure preaching, and the germ of the First Con- gregational Society. Religious services were usually held on Sunday, from January, 1795, to March, 1797, with occasional preaching by the Rev. Mr. Steele, Rev. Aaron Bogue, Rev. Mr. Minor, Rev. Mr. Mozier, and Rev. Mr. Crane. Regular meetings were held at Colonel Norton's, at the centre ; at the house of Giles Mix, who lived at the east end of the settlement; and at the house of Ebenezer Tenney, in the west part of town. Late in 1795, or early in 1796, the First Congregational Society was formed, known as the "Society of Lisbon, in Sangerfield." The style of the society was variously written as the " Trustees of Lisbon Society," " Trustees of the Lisbon Congrega- tional Society," and " The First Congregational Society of Sangerfield." The church was formally organized as an independent body March 15, 1797, with eighteen mem- bers,-eleven males and seven females. The first settled pastor was Rev. James Thompson, who labored here from 1800 to 1806. Among the early pastors were Revs. Samuel Rich, from 1806 to 1816; Evans Beardsley, 1816 to 1823 ; John D. Pierce, 1825 to 1830; H. J. Lombard, 1831-32 ; F. H. Ayers, 1834-35 ; John B. Fish, 1838-44; E. S. Barrows, Mr. Beccher, Mr. Butts, and Mr. Wilkins. A house of worship was erected by the society in 1804 on the village green at the centre. This green is eighteen rods wide and forty long, and was conveyed to the society for that purpose, Oct. 17, 1796, by David Norton, Ebenezer Hale, Justus Hale, and Oliver Norton. In 1823 about half the congregation withdrew, and formed the First Presbyterian Church and Society. They removed their house of worship in 1824 to a lot a short distance north, on the road to Waterville. It was taken down in 1846, and the present one erected.

The Congregationalists at the centre now attend services at Waterville, and the church at the former place is occu- pied by an Episcopal mission, services being held every

Sunday by Rev. William L. Mott, who preaches also at " Congar Town," or Stockwell Settlement, at Oriskany Falls and at Augusta Centre. The membership of the mission at Sangerfield Centre is made up of communicants of Grace Church at Waterville, and the number is small. The Con- gregitionilists do not hold meetings at the centre, owing to the proximity of a larger church and society at Water- ville.

Baptist Church, Waterville .- Previous to the 14th of April, 1798, the Baptists had met with the Congregation- alists, but finally, wishing to hold meetings according to their own faith, they resolved to form a society. Accord- ingly, on the above date, eight persons met at the house of White Osborn, and formed themselves into a society for worship, which they held as regularly as possible until the 19th of the following December, when they met at Benja- min White's, in Waterville, and were received into the fellowship of the neighboring associate churches. The first clergyman who preached to them was Elder Peter P. Roots, and their first settled pastor Elder Joel Butler, who com- menced his labors early in 1799. In 1800 a house of worship was erected on the "Green," as the entire triangu- lar plat now in the centre of the village was then called. This land had been granted them by Benjamin White for that and other church purposes. This church was taken down in 1833, and the present brick one erected on its site the same year. The "Green" is now all inclosed and built over.

Elder Butler remained here about five years. Elder Joy Handy preached a short time in the early part of 1806, and Elder Hezekiah Eastman preached occasionally, as the people desired. From 1807 to 1814 the church barely existed, and had but occasional preaching. In June of the latter year Rev. John Upfold became pastor, and re- mained three years, and among his successors were Revs. Joel Clark, 1817 to 1823; Daniel Putnam, 1824-32 ; Chancellor Hartshorn, 1833-37; Warham Walker, 1838- 41 ; David Wright, 1841-43; John N. Murdock, 1843- 46 ; George W. Davis, 1846-47; Mr. Pierce, 1847-48 ; and L. H. Hayhurst, 1849. The present pastor is Rev. G. J. Travis, and the membership (June 7, 1878) 125. In June, 1877, repairs were completed upon the church amounting to $5000, and the present value of the church property is estimated at $10,000, besides a parsonage worth $1800. In the tower of the church is the town-clock. A Sabbath-school is sustained with a membership of 120, and an average attendance of about 70. It possesses a library of 150 volumes; the pastor is the Superintendent.

First Presbyterian Church, Waterville .- This church was organized May 19, 1823, by twenty persons, who pre- sented letters of dismission from the Congregational Church in Sangerfield. Rev. Evans Beardsley became the first stated supply, and retained the position until April 27, 1824. During the latter year Rev. Daniel C. Hopkins was installed pastor, and remained until 1828. Rev. John R. Adams was stated supply in 1829, and was succeeded by Rev. E. S. Barrows, who was installed pastor, and remained until 1833. Succeeding him some of the pastors have been,-Revs. Aaron Garrison, 1833, until February, 1836; Salmon Strong, stated supply ; Joseph Myers, Oct. 5, 1836,

to June, 1839; John Frost, who died in 1843; Samuel W. Whelpley, pastor a short time; E. S. Barrows, stated supply till April, 1845; and A. D. Gridley, who began his labors in May, 1845, and was installed pastor Feb. 22, 1847. Mr. Gridley held the position for a long term. He was the author of the excellent " History of Kirkland," pub- lished in 1874, and is since deceased. He was deservedly popular, and a man of large attainments, fine social abilities, and all the qualities of a true gentleman.

This society erected its first house of worship in the sum - mer of 1823, on the " Green," purchased and prepared for that purpose, in the west part of the village. In 1844 this building was sold to the Methodists, and a new frame struc- ture erected on the site of the present elegant brick edifice, in the central part of the village. The latter was built in 1872, and, including the lot, cost $37,000. It is the finest house of public worship in the village, and has a seating ca- pacity of about 600. It occupies, aside from the lot on which the former church stood, an adjoining lot, previously the site of a dwelling. In the tower of the church is an 1800- pound bell, manufactured by Meneeley & Kimberly, of Troy, N. Y. The present pastor is Rev. Albert H. Corliss, whose brother, George H. Corliss, was the inventor of the famous stationary steam-engine at the Philadelphia Expo- sition of 1876. The membership in June, 1878, was 190. The Sahbath-school has an average attendance of about 135, and possesses a library of 350 volumes. Its Superintendent is C. Wilson, M.D.

Grace Church (Episcopal), Waterville .- Rev. Fortune C. Brown was the first rector of this church, which was organized in 1840, and he continued until 1845. In 1842 the society organized as " The Wardens and Vestrymen of Grace Church, Waterville," and erected the church now owned by the Welsh Congregationalists. Among other early rectors were Revs. David M. Fackler, William A. Matson, and J. H. Benedict. The present rector is the Rev. Thomas Bell, who is also Superintendent of the Sab- bath-school. The present frame church was built in 1854, and consecrated June 15 of that year, by Rt. Rev. William H. De Lancey, Rev. William T. Gibson being rector at the time. The present value of the church property, aside from the rectory, is $12,000, and that of the latter $3500. The communicants in June, 1878, numbered 93. The at- tendance at Sunday-school averages 75 or 80. The school has a library of 100 volumes.

In 1843 the " Congar Settlement" society of the Metho- dist Episcopal Church was formed, and the old Presbyterian Church edifice in Waterville purchased. It was sold in the winter of 1848-49. In April, 1847, the Second Methodist Episcopal Church was organized, and a neat house of worship built at " Congar Settlement," or more properly Stock well Settlement.

Methodist Episcopal Church, Waterville .- Previous to 1857 Waterville had been in a circuit with other places, Deansville (town of Marshall), etc. In 1857 it was organ- ized as a separate society, and was one of three appoint- ments-Waterville, Sangerfield Centre, and " Congar Town"-then under the pastoral care of Rev. F. W. Tooke, brother of the present pastor. The frame church owned by the society in Waterville was crected in 1860,

at a cost of about $5000. It is at present valued at $9000, and the parsonage at $3500. In 1857 the members in the charge (three stations) numbered 97. The society at Waterville now has a membership of 112, with 31 proba- tioners (June, 1878). The Sabbath-school has a member- ship of 133, and is superintended by the pastor. Its library contains 175 volumes. The following is a list of the pas- tors of this church since 1857 : Revs. F. W. Tooke, R. S. Southworth, Loren Eastwood, O. H. Warren, G. C. Elliott, Charles Morgan, I. D. Peaslee, A. L. York, J. C. Darling, C. W. Brooks, and the present incumbent, Rev. W. F. Tooke.

St. Bernard's Catholic Church, Waterville .- We are unable to give a history of this church, from the failure of its pastor, Rev. Father T. W. Reilly, to send us the de- sired information as promised. It has been in existence probably about thirty years, and has a considerable mem- bership.

The Welsh Congregational Church, Waterville, was or- ganized in 1852. The building used by the society is the one formerly occupied by the Episcopalians, and has been to some extent repaired. The subject of building a new church is agitated. The pastors of this church have been Revs. Edward Davies, now of the village, Mr. Roberts, Mr. Owen, and Benjamin Williams,-the latter still in charge. The membership in June, 1878, was about 100, made up mostly of people living in the adjoining town of Marshall. Isaac Jones is Superintendent of the Sabbath-school.

MILITARY.

A number of the pioneers of this town were veterans of the great struggle for independence, and their sons per- formed valiant duty during the second war with the sub- jects of the British crown; and when volunteers were called to suppress a rebellion in the home-country, hun- dreds sprang to arms, and the vacant places in various home-circles and the grassy graves on the sanguinary fields of the South tell the sad tale that not all returned.

SANGERFIELD CENTRE.

This place lies a mile and a quarter south of Waterville, and now contains a post-office, a store, two hotels, three blacksmith-shops, two wagon-shops, and a shoe-shop. It was once the village of the town, but it was in time forced to give way to Waterville. The post-office here is called Sangerfield, and was removed from Waterville in 1808, at which time Colouel David Norton was appointed first post- master. He held the office until his death, which occurred in 1829, and he was universally mourned by all his ac- quaintances. His son-in-law, Daniel North, was appointed in his place, and held the office until subsequent to 1850. The present incumbent is E. H. Mott, who is also town clerk, and proprietor of the only store in the place.

THE VILLAGE OF WATERVILLE

was incorporated by act of the Legislature, April 20, 1870, with the following boundaries, viz. :

" Beginning on lot No. 26, at the centre of the north end of the arch of the bridge across the creek, running through the Edwards farm ; thence running first north 3 degrees east, 42 chaios, to a point on lot No. 158, in the town of Marshall, 18 chaios and 15 links north of the towo line of Sangerfield ; thence south 87 degrees cast, across lot No. 157, parallel with the south lins of lots Nos. 39 and 40, in Sanger- field, 111 chains and 50 links, to a point on lot No. 154, 20 chaios north of the town line of Marshall; thence south 3 degrees, west 80 chains, to a point on the south line of lot No. 51 in Saogerfield, 5 chains sast of the southeast cornor of lot No. 40; thence north 87 de- grees west along the south lino of lots Nos. 40 and 39, one hundred and eloven (111) chaine and 50 links, to a point on the sonth line of lot No. 26, to the northwest corner of Cortlandt Terry's laod; theocs north 3 degrees east, 38 chains to the place of beginning; contain- ing 892 acres of land, of which 22235, are in the town of Marshall."
