".A thousand ways cut short our days; none are exempt from death. A honey-bee, by stinging me, did stop my mortal breath. This grave contains the last remains of my frail house of olay ; My soul is gone, not to return, to one eternal day."

EDUCATIONAL-EARLY SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS.

At the first annual town meeting three persons were elected as the committee on schools, and until 1815 all educational affairs were under their control; but in this year "inspectors of common schools" were elected, and consisted of a board of six members. Clara Crane was one of the early teachers in a log school-house used by the settlers of Silver and Shaving streets. The locality of the house is not known. Later, each street built a house for itself, and had its own school. The first school in the village of Manchester was taught by James Mitchell, in the loom-house of Jacob Gillett. At a later date a school-house was built on the corner now occupied by Jeremiah Rushmore. The first teacher in that house was Miss Draxy McLouth, to whom the children came from the Pratt, Pierce, and Howland neighborhoods. School districts were multiplied, and each locality had its own house. A building for educational purposes was then erected near the site of Hiram Jenning's residence. Finally, a brick house was built on the east side of the square. The first school in Shortsville was held in the house of Asel Kent, and was conducted by Manning Redfield. In 1807, a school-house was built on the Elam Dewey farm, and the instructor, Rev. Fitzgerald, was especially remem- bered as a great snuff-taker. He was succeeded by Polly Pierce, who, in addition to English rudimentary instruction, added lessons in knitting. The first school-

house in Shortsville was built, in 1811, where now stands the house of William Camp. The first teacher was Harry Robinson, followed by Sylvester Minor and Aaron Pomeroy. In the northeast part of the town, the first school was held in a lean-to attached to the dwelling of Dr. Ainsworth, on the Holcomb farn. This place is just across the line in Palmyra, but was attended by all the Mau- chester children convenient to it. As early as 1800, Benjamin Throop, Jr., was a teacher there. Some years afterwards, a log house was built near the home of Isaac Moore. In 1809, James Huggins taught there. A neat frame was built, in 1816, near the present dwelling of Laban Wells, and from there it was re- moved to the four corners, localized as War Shanty.

A town library was projected in 1814 in the village of Manchester. The citi- zens of the town subscribed and took one thousand shares of stock, at one dollar per share. Standard books were purchased and free of use to stockholders, and at nominal rates to others. The library at one period contained over six hundred volumes. The remnant of this collection, in the hands of J. R. Pratt, M.D., evidence a judicious selection and an extensive use.

RELIGIOUS HISTORY OF MANCHESTER.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH of Manchester dates to February 13, 1797, as we have elsewhere said. A council was held in Farmington. Elder L. Irish pre- sided at the meeting which ultimately gave fellowship to the church. It claims priority in point of organization over all other churches of the denomination west of Cayuga lake. Until 1810, early meetings were held at various localities, pri- marily at the residence of John McLough. At the date assigned, a log meeting- house was erected upon a lot bought of Oliver Phelps for the purpose. In 1815, a stone chapel was built upon the same lot. A lot was bought in the village of Manchester during 1849, and upon it a handsome church edifice was erected.

THE SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH was-organized in 1813. The first pastor of this society was Elder William Rowe. Among the first deacons who stood con- nected with the organisation were Messrs. Gaines, Howell, and Isaac Olds. The first services were held within a school-house at Plainsville, at Marbletown, and in a school-house on the New Creek road. The needs of the society made the erection of a church very desirable; accordingly, we find that in 1833 a sub- scription was started for the erection of a church. A building was duly constructed, and its dedication took place during the same winter. The services on this coca- sion were performed by Elder Smith. The stone-built edifice stands in Gypsum, and is an interesting old structure, with good interior and a commodious and con- venient basement. The church has a present membership on the rolls of ninety- three persons, and its present pastor is Rev. P. Owens.

THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH at Clifton Springs was organized in 1808. Meetings had been held more especially under the direction of Mr. Bag- gerly up to this time and later. By his influence and exertions a building had been erected, which bore his name. The first trustees of the society were Heze- kiah Baggerly, Peter Baggerly, William Ferguson, Robert Ferguson, and Jared Knapp. Among the first members, besides the names of trustees, we give those of Hester Ferguson, Ann Fillott, Rev. John Baggerly, Rev. Calvin Coates, Joshua Costes, L. B. Ferguson, Joshua Giddings, John Cost, Robert Baggerly, Richard Shekell, and Benjamin Shekell and wife. The Episcopalians had on their hands an unfinished church, which the Methodists purchased about 1810. This build- ing burned down about 1841. The society then reorganized on March 1, 1846, having, during the years 1843-44, erected a brick church at a cost of some three thousand dollars. The building was dedicated by Rev. Manly Tooker, and stood through the mutations of a score of years. At reorganization the following trus- tees were elected : Jesse Cost, John Cost, Levi B. Ferguson, R. H. Shekell, A. J. Hanna, J. Coates, Thomas C. Barkley, Richard Giddings, and Gideon D. Baggerly. It was called the Third Methodist Society in Manchester, Clifton Springs. The membership consisted of about sixty persons. The first preacher in this organisation was Rev. Wilson Osborn. Subsequent pastors have been William M. Ferguson, Calvin Coates, David Ferris, J. M. Bull, Thomas Stacy, and C. C. Gardner, besides others not remembered. In 1867 the old church had become too small to accommodate the congregation, and after various measures had been suggested, it was resolved to build a new house. The old one was toru down, and on the site the corner-stone of the new one was laid in May, 1867, with appropriate ceremony, by Rev. Thomas Stacy. Various articles were deposited in the stone, in accordance with custom.

The edifice was dedicated to the worship of God in February, 1868. The sermon was delivered by Bishop Simpson. The structure is the finest in the village, and does credit to the builders. The cost was some seventeen thousand dollars, a large portion of which was defrayed by Dr. Foster. The present mem- bership of the society is one hundred and thirty, and the pastors are Rev. J. T. Gracy and Rev. George Loomis. Connected with the church is a flourishing

Sunday-school, now attended by about one hundred persons,-ten teachers, ninety scholars; E. D. Copp, superintendent.

THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH at Manchester had its origin in class- meetings held at the house of Sharon Booth. When, in time, a school-house was built, the meetings were held therein. The present church edifice dates from 1841, at which time it was completed and the services of dedication performed by Manly Tucker, the presiding elder. The resident minister was the prime mover in getting a society formed, and his efforts were ably seconded by Moses Lem- mons, Sharon Booth, Joseph Sawyer, Benj. Armington, John Lathbury, and Thomas Hornsby. The first steward in the society was Joseph Sawyer, and the first class-leader Thomas Lathbury. The original membership was about forty ; it is now about ninety. The pastor in charge is Rev. Joseph De Lorm.

THE FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH .- In the year 1857 there was organized in the stone school-house at Shortsville, through the efforts of William Young, a Pres- byterian Sabbath-school. Assistance was given in this work by Roswell Stafford, Hiram Land, Calvin P. Brown, Dr. Thomas A. Brown, and others. During Decem- ber following a meeting was held in the school-house, and at that time was organized what has been known as the First Presbyterian Society of Manchester. The Rev. Charles H. Chester, of Geneva, was called by the society to hold a weekly service at the aforesaid school-house. At the expiration of a year he was succeeded by the Rev. William J. Stoutenburgh, who officiated with marked ability and suc- cess until 1860. It was during the winter of 1858-59 that efforts were put forth to raise funds wherewith to build a meeting-house, and not without success. On the 26th of January, 1860, a committee, appointed by the presbytery of Geneva, organized the society as the First Presbyterian Church of Manchester. The following-named persons constituted the original membership: Dr. Thomas A. Brown, Mrs. Emily Brown, Hiram L. Brown, Mrs. Hester Brown, Leonard Warfield, Mrs. Elvira Warfield, Mrs. G. C. Hill, Mrs. Cornelia E. Brown, Joel Crofut, Roswell Sheffer, Mrs. Mary Sheffer, and Mrs. M. L. Hillard. The first elders of the church were Hiram L. Brown and Dr. Thos. A. Brown. The first deacon was Leonard Warfield. We have said that an appeal to the liberality of the community had been made for building funds, and in 1859 work upon a church edifice had begun, which was brought to a completion during March, 1860, and dedicatory services were held therein by Rev. Ira Ingraham. About June 15 Rev. Richmond James was employed as supply, and officiated in that capacity until November, 1869, with the exception of the last year of the civil war, when he served as an army chaplain. During his absence the pulpit was supplied by students from the theological seminary at Auburn. Rev. James M. Harlough was pastor from September 11, 1871, to September 16, 1873. The Rev. Chester C. Thorn, the present pastor, took charge of the society February 1, 1873. The society is in a prosperous condition, and the church building, located on the main street, evinces taste, presents a fine interior, and has a full seating capacity for its growing congregation.

ST. JOHN'S CHAPEL (Episcopal church) .- The Rev. Davenport Phelps, a noted pioneer missionary of the Protestant Episcopal church in western New York, was the first to gather a congregation of that communion at Clifton Springs. The organization was effected as early, as 1806-7, with the following- named officers : John Shekell and Samuel Skekell, wardens; Darwin Seager, William Warner, George Willson, Archibald H. Beale, Davis Williams, Thomas Edmonston, Alexander Howard, and William Powell, vestrymen. This early effort was not attended with permanent results. Although a church edifice had been erected, it was, while yet unfinished, sold to the Methodists, by whom it was long occupied. Following the extinction of the parish, only occasional ser- vices were maintained, at long intervals, until a recent period. At the close of 1866, Rev. William B. Edson settled at Clifton Springs, and revived the mission- ary work. A new building was erected, and duly consecrated by Bishop Arthur Cleveland Coxe, on Ascension Day, May, 1871, under the name of St. John's Chapel. The building is of wood, built in gothic style, with seats for one hun- dred and fifty. On September 15, 1874, the parish was incorporated, and ad ... mitted to union with the convention of New York. It is in contemplation by the parish to erect a permanent stone church on another site. The present rector is the Rev. William B. Edson. The wardens are John L. Tiffany and John A Sutherland. The vestrymen are Isaiah Tiffany, Irving W. Coates, Charles Red- field, and Richard E. Bull, and the parish has about sixty-five communicants.

THE ST. AGNES ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH at Clifton Springs has had an existence of a score of years. The Catholic population of this section held mass with their church at Vienna, or Canandaigua, until the month of June, 1856, when Rev. Edward O'Connor said mass at this village for the first time. The assembly was held in the district school-house, and on the same day a meeting was held and arrangements made for building a church. The work was begun and the edifice completed in the fall of 1856. At this date the mission was attached to Geneva, and was attended by the Rev. Father O. Flaherty. In 1857

it was again attended from Canandaigua. The first resident pastor was the Rev. J. McDermer, in the year of transfer. The mission was then united to Vienna und Rushville, under pastoral charge of Rev. Francis Clark, who remained till March, 1862, when he was succeeded by Rev. Lee, the present pastor. This clergyman bought a parzonage, and enlarged the church, which is now a neat, simple edifice, built with taste, and having a seating capacity of two hundred and fifty persons.

THE FIRST UNIVERSALIST CHURCH of Clifton Springs was organized April 1, 1852. The first members of the society were Horace Goodale, Edwin Warners, S. C. Hersey, Otis Biddlecome, Samuel Cuer, Francis Wood, Chauncey Spear, Thomas Biddlecome, Joshua Van Dusy, William Thomas, Thomas Warfield, William H. Post, Charles Severance, George L. Spear, E. B. Dewey, Alonzo Teachout, Lyman Craig, William Hanna, Miles Baker, and Thomas M. Biddle- come. Sylvanus Heney was appointed moderator at the meeting for organisation, and George L. Spear clerk ; R. P. McBride, treasurer. Lyman Crane, E. B. Dewey, and Edwin Warner were chosen trustees. The erection of a building was begun in 1852, and completed February, 1853, when it was dedicated. This church cost two thousand two hundred dollars. A church organization was formed February 14, 1858. E. B. Dewey and Horace Goodale were the first deacons, and H. L. Van Dusey the first clerk. There were thirteen members on the original formation. The church now numbers fifty-one members. Rev. E. B. Dewey continues to serve the church as deacon. A. L. Van Duzen is his present associate. The pastors of this society have been Revs. I. I. Brayton, Asa Saxe, D.D., I. M. Atwood, B. L. Bennett, G. W. Montgomery, D.D., and E. S. Corbin. The last-named settled as pastor in August, 1873. The Sunday- school was organized in 1856. Its present superintendent is Charles H. Gillett.
