nearly a hundred persons added to the list of commu- nicants, but during the time he was also permitted to see the floating debt of the parish paid off and can- celed. In January, 1880, Mr. Rosencrantz resigned his charge and removed to Port Chester, Westchester Co., N. Y., and the Rev. Alex. Capron entered on the , house on the Peenpack road (now known as Kingston 1st of February upon the rectorship.

On its roll of nearly one hundred families at the present time the parish embraces some of the most prominent and influential people of the village, and reports between 140 and 150 communicants, and the parish is therefore in the very dew and vigor of its yonth, and on the part of both rector and people, looking for- ward hopefully and confidently to gathering many souls into the fold of the Good Shepherd.

DREW CENTENNIAL METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF PORT JERVIS.

Of the founding of this society and its carly his- tory the accounts are gathered from several of the oldest residents of the valley yet living ; and as no record was kept, so far as we now know, the facts are related from memory, and therefore definite dates cannot always be stated. The chronological order of the history may not be entirely accurate, still the facts are placed in the best possible order from mem- i ory. During the war of 1812-14 a Mr. Hunt worked at the glass-factory, situated in Pennsylvania, just across the Delaware River from "Boydville" (now known as "Honesville " and "Sparrowbush"), and which was then in full operation. Mr. Hunt was a Methodist preacher, and preached every Sabbath, --- sometimes in a grove, or at the house of John Patter- son at Boydville, at Carpenter's Point, and at the house of Leo Gegce, at "Gegce's Mill" (now called Huguenot). Mr. Hunt was a very earnest and withal an acceptable preacher, and did much good, though by some considered very singular, because, while his fellow-workmen in the glass-factory worked Sabbath- days when the glass was at full heat for blowing, he would not work on Sabbath, but spent his time in preaching and other religious duties, thereby losing the pay he would have received had he worked with the rest. The Methodists living in the vicinity at that time were few. Among them were Joseph Chattle and a Mr. Carpenter, at Carpenter's Point, Leo Gegee, Polly Bingham, and Sally Hornbeck, at or near Gegee's Mill, and other members of each family named; also a few others whose names are not now known lived in the neighborhood. After the close of the war work at the glass-house ceased. Mr. Hunt removed, and we lose sight of him. Soon after he left the late Rev. Bartholomew Weed moved to Mil- ford to work at his trade as a blacksmith. He had been licensed by the society as an exhorter in 1812. He preached at Milford, Pa., and at Carpenter's Point. About 1816-17 four Methodist families --- Heman Benedict, Timothy Bouton, Mr. Bridges, and Mr. Reed-moved from Connectient and settled near

Cahoongie. All these families were prominent and earnest workers in the society. Some time about 1818 Mr. Cummings, the third Methodist preacher, moved into the valley. He had six preaching-places,-at the school-house at Gegee's Mill; in the red school-

Avenue, Port Jervis1; at the house of Martin Decker, then situate near where Mr. Penny's hotel now stands, or near the junction of Main and Pike Streets, Port Jervis; at "Stoddard's," near Greenville; at the house of Mr. Bridges, at Cahoongie; and at the house of John Patterson, at Boydville.

Mr. Cummings was very much liked by the people ; they came from all around the thinly-settled country to hear him preach at his various appointments, and especially when about to remove, he preached his farewell sermon in a large barn belonging to Martin Decker, and which then stood near where the resi- dence of Mr. G. Malvin is now located, on Delaware Street, Port Jervis. About 1820 a Mr. Hevender preached in the valley, at, probably, the same places as his predecessors. From that time until about 1826 we have very slight information of the society or its workings in the valley, though they continued to have preachers and held meetings, and we learn that prior to 1826 they held camp-meetings at the "Camp- Ground" (now known as " the Coal-Switch"), between Port Jervis and Sparrowbush. In 1826, Lee & Col- lins had a contract for building a section of the Dela- ware and Hudson Canal, at the "Pine woods," near the present village, which had about that time been named "Port Jervis" in honor of J. B. Jervis, Esq., : the civil engineer on the canal. Lee and Collins were both Methodist preachers, and preached at various places in the valley (regularly in a large boarding- house situated near where Mr. Charles Buckley now resides). The following Methodist preachers were stationed at or near Port Jervis between 1820 and 1838, though the order in which they are placed here may not be strictly accurate : Wm. M. Bloomer, with John MeDougall, assistant ; Wm. Baker, and Vincent Sheperd, assistant; Oliver Bagley, and Jonah Bis- sey, assistant; Bromwell Andrew, J. M. Tuttle and Wesley C. Hudson, assistants ; Washington Thomas, and Peter D. Day, John Bagley, Wm. Baker (second time), Isaac Truit, Henry Maines, John W. Pierson. In 1828, Stephen Best, a very earnest Christian and a Methodist, had a regularly organized class under his charge, with the following as some of the members : Joseph Chattle and some members of his family, a colored woman known as " Aunt Fillisie," and her daughter; there were several others whose names we cannot learn. In 1832 a revival occurred, and John D. Carpenter, with several members of his family, were converted and joined the society. Mr. Carpenter at once became a very active worker. He organized a Sabbath-school, acting as superintendent himself, and furnishing books, etc., for the school, which met first at the house of his father, Benjamin Carpenter, near

where Mr. C. Buckley now resides; afterwards in a building near the "Jersey line," at "the Point." Mr. Carpenter soon purchased the tavern at "The Ferry," near where the present "Suspension Bridge" now stands, at Carpenter's Point, and rented it to Samuel Harris, a member of the society, for a dwell- ing, but reserved the bar-room, which he eleared out and arranged for a place to hold meetings in, and which for some time was the headquarters of the society in the neighborhood.

Some time in 1832, Mr. Best removed to Butler's Loek, near Mongaup, and Mr. Carpenter took charge of the class. We find the numbers had largely in- creased, and we find among them James Lupton and his wife, Mary Mapes, Mrs. Huntsman and a sister, George Rosecranse and wife, Samuel Harris and his wife, Charlotte (yet living in 1880). The society continued to meet in the "tavern room," in the red school-house on the Peenpaek road, and at various dwellings until about 1838, when it had grown so large that a regular organization was made by the ap- pointment of Stephen St. John, Simeon M. Stoddard, John D. Carpenter, James Lupton, and Gilbert F. Mondon as trustees for the society, then styled "The First Methodist Episcopal Church of Port Jervis, N. Y.," and on the 22d day of October, 1838, the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company donated a lot near the canal for church purposes. The society soon completed a neat frame church on the lot. The late John Bonker, a member of the society, worked on the building, and when completed he built the first fire | and lighted the first candle in the new church.

At the dedication, which took place in 1838 or 1839, the Rev. Mr. Kennedy, then stationed at Newburgh, officiated, assisted by Manning Force, Peter D. Day, and a Mr. Dunning. The following ministers preached for the society between 1838 and 1850: T. J. Lyon, a Mr. Smith, Wm. Burroughs, Wm. Wiggins, John D. Blain, Henry Beagle, Edward P. Cook, Fletcher Lummis, and Charles S. Coit. In 1850, Port Jervis Methodist Episcopal Church had grown largely, and was the central church of the circuit, with Huguenot, Honesville, Cahoongie, Mongaup, and several outside appointments, where the "Port Jervis preacher held meetings."

The following ministers were stationed at Port Jer- vis between 1850 and 1864: Thomas H. Smith, Martin IIerr, Joseph R. Adams, George B. Day, T. H. Lan- don, John Faull, David Walters, and John Coit. Prior to 1864 the congregation had grown so large that the first church would not accommodate them, and a new and more convenient site was desired, as the new and rapid growth of the village had left the church out on one side: After several years of effort the present site was purchased, and a new brick church, 55 by 95 feet, with slate roof, and spire 162 feet high, was projected. In 1866, when the new structure was commenced, the following were the officers of the church : Rev. George F. Dickinson, preaeher ; Trus-

tees, L. E. Elston, president ; Wm. Hammond, secre- tary ; James R. Harrison, treasurer; Moses Macomber, and Gabriel D. Corwin ; Building Committee, George F. Dickinson, Henry Duteher, Aaron Decker, Daniel Romaine, and L. E. Elston ; Stewards, Lemuel E. Elston, D. Romaine, John T. Burkard, Gabriel D. Corwin, Andrew J. Snyder, John Badger, and Charles S. Goodale ; Recording and Distriet Steward, L. E. Elston ; Superintendent of the Sunday-school, L. E. Elston.

The corner-stone for the new church was laid Nov. 11, 1866, with appropriate ceremonies, and the build- ing was completed and dedicated March 7 and 8, 1868, Bishop E. S. Janes officiating, assisted by Dr. L. Dashiel and other prominent ministers and lay- men. The church has a fine audience-room, with large Sunday-school and class-rooms. A special act was passed by the Legislature March 23, 1867, ehang- ing the title of the society from "The First Meth- odist Episcopal Church of Port Jervis" to " The Drew Centennial Methodist Episcopal Church of Port Jer- vis, N. Y." The following preachers have been sta- tioned at Port Jervis sinee 1866: George F. Dickin- son, C. S. Van Cleve, John I. Morrow, Benjamin Kelly, A. R. Shaw, John A. Munroe, Dr. J. T. Crane, and William E. Blakeslee, the present preacher, ap- pointed April, 1880. Rev. B. Kelly died at Port Jer- vis in 1874, while pastor of the church ; and Rev. Dr. J. T. Crane died February, 1880, while pastor. The church now has over 600 members, a Sabbath-school of 414 scholars and 42 offieers and teachers. The present offieers are as follows : Stewards, L. E. Elston (distriet and recording steward), James L. Crawford, Stephen S. Starr, H. W. Palmer, William Dexter Stuart, Daniel Romaine, Isaac B. Smith, Job M. Snell, and Jonathan Corey; Superintendent of Sabbath- school, L. E. Elston ; Trustees, George E. Cook, presi- dent; A. J. Snyder, secretary ; Horace Hammond, treasurer; James L. Crawford, Charles Wells, A. P. Macdonald, Moses W. Perry, L. D. Mathews, and George H. Langton.

The church stands on the corner of Broom and Sussex Streets, on Orange Square, in a position to be seen from nearly all parts of the village, affording an excellent location for the town clock in the tower, and which was presented to the village by Mrs. Mary Shorter on her seventieth birthday, April 13, 1878.

It will be seen by the above brief sketch that, in about sixty-eight years, the society has grown from perhaps not over a half-dozen members in 1812 to over 600 in 1880, and from the hospitable shelter of some grove or dwelling to a large church property worth about $50,000, and which will accommodate nearly 1000 persons.

THE REFORMED CHURCHI OF CUDDEBACKVILLE, at a meeting held in the sehool-house, Nov. 26, 1853, executed a certificate of incorporation. The proceed- ings were signed by Hiram Slauson, Lewis Cudde-

back, and Samuel Gordon. The trustees chosen were Moses Van Inwegen, William Cuddeback, William C. Roe, Ezekiel R. Gumaer, Lewis Cuddeback, Wil- liam Littell, and Alexander Gordon. The petition to Classis for organization was dated Jan. 31, 1854, and signed by forty-three persons. A committee of Classis, consisting of Rev. H. Slauson, Rev. S. Searle, Rev. C. D. Elting, and Elders Philip Swartwout and John N. Taylor, constituted the church on the second Sabbath in March, 1854. The first members were William C. Rose and wife, Garret D. Sullivan and wife, Adam Stickle and wife, Solomon Van Etten and wife, Mrs. Esther Van Inwegen, Mrs. Margaret Hop- son, Mrs. Mary Case, Miss Margaret Cuddeback, and William Littell. The first elders were William C. Rose and William Littell; Deacons, Garrett D. Sullivan, Adam Stickle; Chairman of Consistory, William C. Rose; and Clerk, William Littell. C. L. Norris has been clerk and treasurer of the congregation from the formation of the church to the present time. The successive ministers have been Rev. Henry Morris, March 22, 1855, to Oct. 12, 1862; Rev. Egbert Winter, May 11, 1863, to Jan. 9, 1866; Rev. Jeremiah L. Za- briskie, March 27, 1866, to June 7, 1870; Rev. W. E. Bogardus, Aug. 16, 1870, to March 23, 1874; Rev. John Du Bois, May 22, 1874, commenced his labors June 1, and is the present pastor, November, 1880. The present Consistory is composed of Stoddard Van Inwegen, George W. Rhodes, Charles H. Norris, Isaac Van Inwegen, elders; F. A. Quick, William Taylor, deacons. Stoddard Van Inwegen is superintendent of the Sunday-school. An out-appointment is regularly filled at Huguenot, and occasionally at other points. The house of worship was erected at an expense of $3300 in 1853, before the church was organized.

THE GERMAN LUTHERAN PROTESTANT CHURCH OF PORT JERVIS

was incorporated Jan. 1, 1861. The certificate was signed by Jacob Goeby and Matthew Heoyman. The trustees chosen were Michacl Seegar, Matthew Heis- man, John Bosh, Henry Stadermayer. The present pastor furnishes the following additional particulars :

The First German Evangelical Lutheran (St. Peter's) congregation was organized by Rev. August Sehubert, Sept. 18, 1859. He labored till May 26, 1860, preach- ing in Brown's Hall. Members who constituted the first assemblage and are yet connected with it are Fred Ehrenfeuthter, M. Seeger, F. Seeger, F. Lang, M. Heitzmann, J. Pfitzner, C. Wiegand.

Under the pastorate of P. J. Goetz, a church build- ing was erected of frame in 1863. It is yet in a good condition. On the 1st of April, 1869, P. Goetz re- signed, and P. J. Bockstahler was called. In 1872 the present parsonage was built.

Nov. 1, 1873, P. Kuhn was called, and is still to- day officiating. Every Sunday afternoon the Sun- day-school is held, with an attendance of about 100 scholars.

Pastor, Hugo B. Kuhn; 7 elders and trustees ; 65 members in good standing, and 200 communicants.

The house of worship was dedicated Oct. 12, 1862. It is a plain, neat, substantial structure, standing near the Delaware River. The lot was the gift of Mr. H. H. Farnum. The edifice cost $1700.

THE PORT JERVIS BAPTIST CHURCH

executed a certificate of incorporation April 28, 1862. The certificate was signed by Thomas Cuddeback and John W. Decker. The trustees named were Peter Mulhearn, John W. Decker, Thomas Montanye, Charles B. Gray, and Thomas Cuddeback. The church dates back many years earlier than the date above given. It was organized November, 1838, by a Council convened in the Dutch Reformed church. The following is a list of the constituent members: Gilbert F. Mondon, Nehemiah L. Mondon, Samuel Patterson, David Decker, Joseph Gibson, Catharine S. Mondon, Nancy I. Pierson, Pamelia Birdsall, Catharine Malcolm, Mary Ellen Mondon, Lydia Gumaer, Jane Rhodes, Elizabeth Thompson, Jane Gumaer, Jane Beebe, Sally Decker.

The first deacons of the church were G. F. Mondon, D. Decker. The first house of worship was built on the banks of the canal, on ground given by the Dela- ware and Hudson Canal Company. This having be- come too small, the present structure was erected on Pike Street in 1868. The first pastoral service was rendered by Rev. William H. Turton.

were Rev. John McCloskey, archbishop; Rev. Win. ble testimonial was presented him by the members as an expression of their personal regard.

Starr, vicar-general ; Rev. James Nilan, pastor ; and two laymen, Peter Higgins, Peter Gillem. The suc- cessive pastors of this church have been Rev. Fathers Briardy, R. R. Brennan, Rev. James Nilan, and the present pastor is Rev. E. J. Flynn; the assistant pas- tor, Rev. Father Sally. The first regular house of worship was erected under Father Briardy's labors. It stood on the site of the present edifice, the corner- stone of which was laid July 5, 1869. A parchment was placed in the corner-stone bearing the following record :

"To God Almighty in the year of our Lord 1869, on the fifth day of the month of July, the ninety-third anniversary of American Iodepend- ence, being celebrated with due honor in the twenty-third year of the Pontificate of Pope Pius IX., Most Rev. John McCloskey, D.D., Arch- bishop of New York ; Ulysses S. Grant, President of the United States ; John T. Hoffman, Governor of the State of New York, this corner-stone of a church being erected in honor of Almighty God under the title of the Virgin Mary conceived without sin, patroness of this Republic, Rev. E. MeGlynn, D.D., being the orator of the occasion, was blessed and Jaid by Rev. Janies Nilan, Pastor."

The church is 133 by 65 feet ; two spires 100 and 180 feet high. Mr. Perry was the architect. The building committee were Domine Cunningham, James Creegan, Peter Higgins, Andrew Cnff, Daniel Young. The mason-work was done by Patrick Herbert, of Newburgh, for $39,400; the carpenter-work by S. W. Hotchkiss, of Port Jervis, for $16,200.

For the old church ground was broken June 18, 1854, and the edifice was completed in 1855. The style of the architecture was Gothic. The dimensions were 55 feet front and 83 deep. It had a tower, and was altogether a handsome edifice. It was burned during the Christmas festivities of 1868.

REV. E. J. FLYNN .- The present pastor of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Rev. E. J. Flynn, was born in the parish of St. Stephen's, New York City, in 1846. The Rev. Dr. Cummings, recog- nizing in the young man indications of a divine voca- tion to the priesthood, advised his youthful friend to enter college and perfect himself in a course of class- ical study. After a short study of the Latin lan- guage he was sent to the college of the Propaganda at Rome. Under the careful guidance of the vener- able Father Smith of the Urban College, who dis- covered in his American student a career of future usefulness, directed with much interest his theological studies, and in 1871 Father Flynn was ordained a priest. His first mission was at St. Stephen's, where in early youth he had officiated as an altar boy. For two years he labored under the instruction and guid- ance of Rev. Father McGlynn, and in 1873 was as- signed the assistant pastorate of St. Andrew's. There he also labored faithfully, giving much of his time to the instruction of the young Italians who resided in the parish.

His next field was that of St. Theresa, where he be- came endeared to the people by his kindness to the poor and his unremitting attentions to the sick and dying. On his retirement from this parish, a valua-

Father Flynn became the pastor of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Port Jervis, in Novem-

Rev. Edward J. Flynn

ber, 1877. On his arrival a burdensome debt of $59,000 had oppressed the congregation, to the liqui- dation of which he at once devoted himself. Through his untiring zeal, in the space of two years the sum of $20,635 had been paid, and the dimensions of the parish considerably enlarged. A decided spiritual growth was also evinced within its borders. The church property was soon after improved, the amount of $3000 having been expended for the purpose.

Father Flynn, while an exemplary and laborious pastor, has found time to devote to the interests of the community of which he is a member. He has estab- lished a reputation as a public-spirited citizen, ever ready by word and deed to assist in the development of projects having for their aim the welfare of the city and the good of its inhabitants. This has made him deservedly popular with all classes, irrespective of ereed, and placed his name upon the roll of represen- tative citizens of Port Jervis, his present home.

is the first one to note in order of time. Indeed, there can be none in the county where burials took place earlier, unless it be in the vicinity of Plum Point, on

the Hudson. If the Cuddeback settlement was not quite as early as claimed, yet there is ample proof that the usnal accounts are not far from correct.

If the descendants of those pioneers will carefully examine the old burial-place, remove the gathered mass of leaves, and trace the dim inscriptions upon the old field-stone, some of them doubtless covered up entirely, it is very possible that still carlier dates can be obtained than those given below, which were secured by only an hour's examination.

At the place known as Paradise, on the borders of Sullivan County, there is a burial-ground, in the Case and Decker neighborhood. At Sparrowbush there is a burial-place located north of the village.

THE OLD BURIAL-PLACE OF PORT JERVIS.

This is the one historic graveyard of the southern section of the town, and deserves better care than it appears to be receiving. Its broken fences, its ne- glected grounds, cut to pieces by private driveways over a part of it, its fallen stones, all tell a story of neglect unworthy of the place, and unworthy of an age when money is freely lavished npon the new cemeteries.

Among its broken stones may be traced some early dates, as 1758, 1766. In some of the almost illegible records there may be the date of birth. The following are more clear :

" Died in the year 1789 August 20 S Desour" " 1762 Sarah Caskey departed this life July the 27th 1796"

The first date is that of birthi.

" April 1 1865 Jacob Nearpass died aged 90 years."

This yard is located on Main Street next to the Catholic cemetery. North of the burial-place stood the old Reformed church, towards the residence of Charles F. Van Inwegen. The burials undoubtedly date back many years before the Revolution.

LAUREL GROVE CEMETERY.

This occupies the extreme southeastern part of the corporation, being the point of land between the Neversink and the Delaware Rivers. It consists of about thirty acres. A marked peculiarity of this cemetery is its exclusive use of evergreens for adorn- ment, both in the saving of the original forest-trees and in the setting out and cultivation of others. In- deed, upon the cemetery grounds (not including the banks of the streams) there are only two deciduous trees left, and it is intended to remove these. In the more closely cultivated portions there are some fine specimens of trimming in peculiar forms, attracting the special attention of visitors.
