and mission some four or five years. The next pastors were Fathers Radigan and Chartier, the lat- ter a Frenchman, who left Canada on account of some rebellion troubles of that period. Then fol- lowed Rev. Michael Haes, afterwards pastor of St. Mary's Church, who was succeeded by Father Guil- lick, and he by Rev. Joseph Guerdet, now pastor of the Church of St. John the Evangelist of this city. The succession of pastors since has been Father Mullady, Rev. Michael Hackett, Rev. Morris Shea- han, Rev. James A. Duffy, Father Brown and Rev. William J. Bourke, the present pastor.

Rev. Mr. Bourke was born and brought up in Syracuse, and is the first native Catholic priest ordained to the ministry in the city.

The Church of St. John the Baptist (present building) is a large and elegant brick structure in the semi-Gothic style of architecture, occupying a beautiful and commanding site at the corner of Park and Court streets. It will seat 1,500 persons, was erected and dedicated in 1871, and cost $125,- 000. This is now one of the largest Catholic parishes in the city and the school connected with it is kept in the old church building.

THE CHURCH OF THE ASSUMPTION, ST. MARY'S, ROMAN CATHOLIC, is situated in the Second Ward on North Salina street, near Isabella. The old church bearing the motto " Deo" was called St. Mary's. It was a wooden building 30 by 46 feet in dimensions, surmounted by a spire, and was erected by the Trustees, John B. Lange, George Miller and I. Afferdick, in the year 1844. The builder was Emerson Thayer, and the lot was purchased of Hon. E. W. Leavenworth for $500.

The first Pastor was Rev. P. Adalbert Inama, O. S. N., who was appointed in 1843 by Rt. Rev. John McClosky, first Roman Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Albany, N. Y. Following him were the Rev. Theodore Noethen : Rev. P. Flarian Schwen- inger, O. S. B. ; Rev. P. Simon Sanderl ; Rev. Joseph Raffeiner, who enlarged the first church.

In the year 1861 commenced the administration of the Franciscan Fathers Minor-Conventicals. They built the new Church of Assumption in 1865, under their Commissary-General V. R. P. Lapold Morzygemba, O. M. C., and the Guardian of the Convent and l'astor of the Church, Rey . P. Norbert Stoller, O. M. C. The church was consecrated May 3, 1867, by Rt. Rev. John Conroy, Bishop of the Diocese of Albany, and the two towers, contain- ing bells, were finished in 1872 by V. R. P. Fidelis Dehm, Guardian and Pastor of the Church of Assumption. The cost of the entire structure was $125,000.

ST. LUCY'S CHURCH IS SITUATED in the Fifth Ward on Gifford street between Niagara and Os- wego streets, The earliest meetings were held in the Cook Block, which is erected on the bank of the Onondaga creek, between Onondaga and Gifford streets. The origin of the church was owing in a great measure to the zeal of a few of the members of the congregation, who, seeing the increase of the Catholic population in that portion of the city, as well as the want of accommodation in the churches to which the people went, resolved, having obtained the permission of the Rt. Rev. John J. Conroy, Bishop of Albany, and the concurrence of nearly all the Catholics of the ward, to commence the erection of the church. A committee of which Patrick Slattery was President, John J. Lynch, Auditor, John Hellmack, Treasurer, Thomas F. Delany, Secretary, and Francis Connelly, H. A. Duffy, Patrick Halloran, Anthony Chryst, Lawrence Ryan, Charles MeFall, Thomas Kendrick, Francis Murphy, William Michaels and Dan. Moony were members, was appointed June, 1872, to make arrangements for the work On August 15, 1872, the digging for the basement was began and was completed about September 12, at which time the Rt. Rev. Bishop Conroy appointed Rev. John J. Kennedy Pastor of the new congregation. The society was immediately incorporated under the name of St. Lucy's Church, Syracuse, N. Y. This is the first and only church in this country which bears the name of St. Lucy. There is a certain propriety in the name, from the fact that the annals of the life of St. Lucy tell us that she was born, lived, and suffered martyrdom in the old city of Syracuse, Sicily, and was afterward proclaimed patroness of that city.

Architect Russell furnished the plans for the church and the work was pressed forward with great zeal by Patrick Commins, the builder.

The corner stone was laid by Rt. Rev. Francis McNierny, the successor of Bishop Conroy, June 22, '73. and the basement of the church was occu- pied for divine service November 1. '73. The church was entirely completed December 23, '75, on which day it was solemnly dedicated by Rt. Rev. Francis McNierny.

The present membership of the congregation is about two thousand (2,000. ) The Sunday School attendance is about four hundred and fifty (450.) The church is very beautifully decorated with scrip- tural scenes from both the old and the new Testa- ment, as well as some pictures representing the life, death, and coronation of St. Lucy.

ST. JOSEPH'S ( FRENCH CATHOLIC) CHURCH was

organized in 1869 in the church building, East Genesce street, by Rev. Joseph Guerdet. The original members were about 200, among whom were Romuald Tanguay, Louis La Branche, Louis Harnois, Theophile Fournier, Francis Bardo, Aimi Harnois, Joseph Gibcau, Peter Loignot and Jean Duplessis. The church was bought of the Central Baptist Society in 1869, and cost, with its improve- ments, $11,000. The first pastor was Rev. Joseph Quevillon, ( who is now in Pittsfield, Mass.,) from October, 1869, to April, 1870. The present pastor, Rev. J. S. Robillard, assumed charge in July, 1870. The present membership is about 450, with from 45 to 70 in the Sunday School.

UNITARIAN CHURCHI.

THE CHURCH OF THE MESSIAH, (First Unitarian Congregational Society, was organized by Rev. George W. Hosmer, Dr. Hiram Hoyt, Stephen Abbott and others, October 4, 1838. The first Trustees were : Elisha Walter, Joel Owen and Stephen Abbott.

Prior to 1836, several influential Unitarian fami- lies had become citizens of Syracuse, but no preach- ing of that faith had been enjoyed till about 1837, when Rev. Samuel Barrett, of Boston, and Rev. Mr. Green, of that city or vicinity, preached by in- vitation on two different occasions in the Baptist Church on West Genesee street. These efforts led to the movement which resulted in the formation of a society by Rev. Dr. Hosmer, of Buffalo, late President of Antioch College. The society was organized in Dr. Mayo's school house on Church street, where services had previously been held, and continued to be held after the organization of the society.

In January, 1839, a small chapel, costing in those times of cheap labor $607, was completed and dedi- cated. It stood on East Genesee street opposite the present Barton Block.

Rev. J. P. B. Storer, the first regular pastor com- menced his ministry with the completion of this little chapel, and continued till his death, which oc- curred March 17,1844. His installation took place in the First Methodist Episcopal Church, the Trus- tees generously proffering the use of the building for that occasion, on which an able sermon was preached by Rev. Orville Dewey, D D.

The society soon outgrew the dimensions of its little chapel, and in August, 1840, a committee, consisting of Capt. Iliram Putnam, John Wilkin- son, Esq, William Malcolm, Esq, Mr. Parley Bas- sett and Ilon. Thomas Spencer, was appointed to select and purchase a lot upon which to build a new

189

house of worship. A lot was purchased of the " Syracuse Company," on the corner of Burnet and Lock streets, for the sum of $550, to which was subsequently added the adjoining south lot, pur- chased for $450, the whole forming the premises on which the "Church of the Messiah " now stands. The church was erected at a cost of $5,000, and dedicated November 23, 1843-the pastor, Rev. Mr. Storer preaching the sermon, assisted in the services, which were of a very interesting character, by several eminent visiting clergymen.

After the death of Mr. Storer, a correspondence was opened with Rev. Samuel J. May, who, after a full and frank statement of his views on " Christian doctrine" and " reforms," was called and settled over the society in 1845. Mr. May was an earnest opponent of slavery, and a zealous and able advo- cate of liberal and progressive views of education, and these views he advocated with signal ability and success to the close of his earthly labors. Such was his sweetness of temper, his candor, and his uniform courtesy of demeanor on all occasions that even his opponents were unconsciously influ- enced by his sentiments and spirit, and soon became co-workers with him for the common good of hu- manity. As an earnest and unfaltering advocate of Public Free Schools for the education of the poor as well as the rich, and for the devoted and self-sac- rificing labor which he bestowed on Institutions of Charity, no man in Syracuse was better known or more highly respected than Rev. Samuel J. May. His acknowledged abilities and his noble Christian character gave him an influence for good which will long be felt beyond his own immediate church, of which he was the faithful pastor.

At the resignation of his pastorate the " Church of the Messiah," as a tribute of respect and esteem, generously settled on him an annuity for life. He died on Sunday, July 2, 1871.

Rev. Samuel R. Calthrop, the present pastor, ac- cepted a call from the society April 7, 1868, and on the 29th of the same month was formally installed.

The church was enlarged by a rear extention in 1850. In 1852 the roof and walls were demolished by the falling of the tower in a furious gale. It was rebuilt nearly upon the old site, at a cost, including organ, of $ 11,000, and was dedicated April 11, 1853.

INDEPENDENT CHURCH.

The first step taken towards the formation of a strictly independent church in Syracuse, was the extension of a call to Rev. Ezekiel W. Mundy to occupy a free platform in Convention Hall. Mr. Mundy had just resigned the pastorate of the First

Baptist Church of this city, on account of views differing widely in several important respects from that body and the denomination with which it is connected. The call was extended on the 13th of March, 1866, by a number of persons who were desirous of affording Mr. Mundy, or whoever might officiate as their religious teacher, an op- portunity for the free expression of his convictions, without the hindrance or dictation of any ecclesi- astical authority or creed. The call was accepted on the 4th of April, 1866, and on the 22d Mr. Mundy preached his first sermon of the " new departure" in Convention Hall. The attendance was large and the prospect of permanent interest encouraging.

On the 25th of April, 1866, the Independent Society was organized with the following Board of Trustees : Harrold W. Chittenden, President ; George L. Farnham, Clerk ; Lyman Stevens, Treas- urer ; Frank Hiscock, George D. Cowles, Z. Law- rence Beebe, George A. Ostrander, William A. Hawley, Stewart B. Palmer.

Services were held in Convention Hall and in Shakspeare Hall and the Court House till the edi- fice of the society on South Salina street was ready for occupancy. The corner-stone was laid with ap- propriate services on the 22d of September, 1870, and the building dedicated on the 2d of July, 1871. Mr. Mundy conducted all the services of the occa- sion. Rev. Samuel J. May had been expected to assist, but he died on that day; and Mr. Mundy performed the sad office of announcing his death to the congregation.

About one hundred families are connected with the society and the congregation numbers about three hundred. The property, including church, furniture and lot, is valued at $20,000.

This church has had no ecclesiastical connection with any denomination ; no creed or declaration of faith on matters pertaining to religion. The only article of its faith is the absolute freedom of in- dividual opinion, and its only article of agreement is the agreement to disagree, with courtesy and friendship.

Rev. E. W. Mundy is still pastor.

CHURCH OF CHRIST.

THE CHURCH OF CHRIST (Disciples or Christians) was organized at the City Hall, February 8, 1863 ; W. A. Belding, Evangelist, officiating.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.

LEWIS H. REDFIELD.

In attempting to trace the career of Lewis II. Redfield, honorable as it is in itself, we are reminded at the very outset of the intimate relations it sus- tained to the development of an unoccupied region of country into a mighty and prosperous common- wealth. It comprehends almost the entire period of American constitutional history, he having lived under every Presidential Administration. His father, a soldier of the Revolution, having borne its hardships, and participated in its glories, was among the first of the sturdy band of New Eng- land emigrants who penetrated the Genesee coun- try, " then known as the far West," settled on a farm of about 200 acres, near what is now the vil- lage of Clifton Springs, reared a large family, all the members of which attained respectable, and some of them distinguished social and political positions. The father enjoyed the respect and trust of his fel- low citizens, and died at the advanced age of over ninety years.

Lewis HI. Redfield was born at Farmington, Conn., November 26. 1793, being only six years old when his parents removed to their new home in Ontario county. Until he was filteen years of age his time was spent on the farm, his schooling being such only as the primitive character of the district afforded, but many of his evenings were spent in a diligent course of reading, by the light of bark gathered from the woods. His mind craved more stimulat- ing exercise and a wider scope for the development of its prowess, and with the full permission of his father he became an apprentice in the office of the Ontario Repository at Canandaigua, a journal then edited by James D. Bemis, and whose publication is still continued. Here he remained for six years steadily laying the foundation of that resolute inde- pendence and manly integrity which in due time gained him fortune and the respect of his fellow men.

He had secured the confidence of his employer to such an extent, that, in the year 1814 when he re- solved to strike out for himself in business, he casi- ly secured stock to commence with, and began the publication of the " Onondaga Register." in Onondaga Valley, with such men as Comfort Tyler, Thaddeus M. Wood, William H. Sabin and Joshua Forman to support him in that community. He has been over sixty years a resident of Onondaga

county ; has lived to see it become an agricultural garden, netted with railroads and vital with manufac- turing energy ; expanding its population from 15,000 to over 100,000, and becoming the seventh in numerical rank of the sixty counties of the Empire State : and with Encas he may truthfully say, "All of this I saw and a part of this I was."

At the outset his stock for business consisted in the material supplied by Mr. Bemis and seventy-five cents in cash. But his best capital stock was in his own resolute energy and inflexible integrity. In connection with his paper, he opened a book store in partnership with Mr. Bemis, the business of which he attended to during the day time, and at night combined in himself the functions of editor, compositor, proof-reader and foreman. By strict economy he paid off his debt to Mr. Bemis and be- came a free man. He continued the publication of the Register in the Valley until 1829, when he re- moved it to Syracuse and united it with the Gazette, under the name of the " Onondaga Register and Syracuse Gazette.'

In 1832 he disposed of his interest, its name was changed to the "Argus," and his direct connection with journalism ceased. In the files of the Regis- ter, published by Mr. Redfield, may be seen the evidence of his industry and fidelity to principle, and of the manner in which it moulded and modified many of the principal events in the local history of Onondaga County. The Register was an ardent though not a bitter partizan, consistent in its de- votion to the National Republican, out of which sprang the Democratic party, and which with both as editor and citizen, Mr. Redfield was always prominently identified. He was always pleased to acknowledge his identification, not only with the profession, but also with the craft of journalism. He is undoubtedly the oldest journalist in the State, if not in the United States, and although he has many claims upon the respect of his fellow-citizens, yet nothing gives him more genuine gratification than the cordial recognition extended him by jour- nalists as the father of the newspaper press of the State He has been particularly characterized by many acts of benevolence conferred upon the needy, of which there is norecord save in their hearts, and no other record did he desire. His just apprehension of the scope of the press, is given in his own words in the following sentiment which he transmitted to the Typographical Society of New York City, on
