The greater part of Williamstown is still unimproved. The principal business of the inhabitants is lumbering, and the chief exports are lumber and leather. The Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburgh railroad passes through the town, and has two stations in it, one at Kasoag and the other at Williamstown village. The timber of Williams- town was originally very heavy, embracing the various kinds which are yet to be seen covering the surface of hill and valley, among which beech, maple, basswood, ash, and hemlock were the most plentiful. In this dense forest the early pioneers erected their rude but comfortable cabins. Although they were not infrequently subjected to hard- ships and privation, yet this was nothing more than might be expected, and the sturdy will, inherited from their New England ancestors, overcame all obstacles, and they looked forward hopefully to receiving the rewards of industry, perseverance, and economy.
The first settlers of Williamstown were Gilbert Taylor, Solomon Goodwin, Ichabod Comstock, Dennis Orton, Henry Williams, and Henry Filkins, who came into the town in 1801, most of them being from Connecticut. Ichabod Comstock, who made the first clearing in the town, located upon lot No. 155, in survey-township No. 5, Scriba's pateut. This township was named Franklin by the proprietor, but that designation was rarely used by the settlers. Mr. Comstock erected a comfortable log house, in which he resided until his death in 1837. Ile left a wife and nine children, five of whom are still living, Mr. Edwin Comstock, the oldest, being the oldest surviving native of Williamstown.
Henry Williams, from whom the town derived its name, purchased and made his home upon lots 189 and 190. He was a very prominent man in the town until his death in 1835, having been supervisor many years, and a member of the assembly in 1826.
Solomon Goodwin located upon the lot immediately north
of that taken up by his brother Ichabod. Ile resided upon the place until shortly before his death, which occurred at the residence of his son, in Rome, Oneida county, in 1846. Henry Filkins took up a lot in the same neighborhood, where he erected a substantial house, and resided in it until his death. He left seven children, two of whom still reside in the town. Dennis Orton remained but a short time, and made no improvements. Gilbert Taylor commenced a clearing, but sold ont in 1805 to Isaac Alden, and moved into Jefferson county, where he died in 1865.
The first marriage in the town was that of Joel Rath- burn and Miss P. Alden, in September, 1802.
During the year 1803 several settlers came in, most of them being from the New England States. Isaae Alden, an emigrant of the previous year, opened a kind of inn for the accommodation of the few travelers who might traverse those forbidding forests.
The first saw-mill was erected by Mr. Alden the same year. This was for several years the only saw-mill in town, and was considered a remarkable institution, being capable of cutting a thousand feet of lumber per day. The first white child born in town was Julius, son of Ichabod Comstock. The first school was taught by Philander Allen, in the winter of 1803-4.
In 1804, Dr. Torbert came into the town, and erected the first grist-mill. This mill is still standing, and is the only grist-mill now in operation in Williamstown. The first religious society (Congregational) was organized in 1805, by the Rev. Wui. Stone, father of the well-known editor and historian, William L. Stone. The services were held for some time in a barn owned by Dr. Torbert, who afterwards gave the society the use of a building which stood near the present entrance to the village cemetery. Services were held there until the erection of a church edifice several years later. During the year 1806, Mr. Daniel Freeman opened the first store. Mr. Daniel Stacy came into the town in 1810, from Fort Ano, near Lake Champlain.
Numerous bounties were offered for wolves during the pioneer period, and even far down towards the middle of the century. The amount voted for each scalp in 1805 was twenty-five dollars, but was thought too high, and was reduced to ten dollars. Ten-dollar bounties were offered in 1806, '7, '8, '12, '13, '14, '15, '21, '28, '29, and '36. In 1827 the sheep-destroyers seem to have been especially ugly, and a fifteen-dollar bounty was voted. In 1809 a bounty of ten dollars was offered for bears, and in 1811 one of three dollars; after that nothing. Bears were evidently not as dangerous as in the time of Elijah.
During the war of 1812, General Brown, with a large force, passed through the town on his way from Rome to

Sackett's Harbor. During the war, also (1813), the first post-office, that of Williamstown, was established, with Samnel Freeman as postmaster. The old Indian route from Oneida Castle to the Salmon river ran through this town, and the Oneidas had a regular camping-ground upon the site of Kasoag. Mr. William Hamilton, while at work at this place many years later, discovered numerous Indian relics, together with eighteen dollars in English coin, which had undoubtedly been left by one of these fishing-parties.
About the year 1810 the gentleman just named erected the first dam and saw-mill at Kasoag. This was the second saw-mill in Williamstown, and is still in operation, though it has been so many times repaired as to be almost a new structure. Mr. Daniel Stacey erected the first carding- machine, which, although commenced in 1810, was not put in operation until 1815. It was located upon Fish creek, a short distance above the present tannery. Mr. Stacy carried on the business of carding until the fall of 1818, when he moved to Camden, Oneida county, where he died in 1825.
In the year 1848, Messrs. Dodge and Humphrey, two gentlemen from Albany, erected a large establishment at Kasoag for the manufacture of barrels. It was capable of turning out a thousand barrels (of the kind known as "dry barrels") per day. The original factory was burned, but another was built in its place, and the business was con- tinued for several years. The principal markets were Syra- cuse and Oswego. Suitable barrel-lumber becoming scarce in the vicinity, and rival factories having been established, the business at this place became unprofitable, and work was discontinued.
In the year 1847 the projected plank-road from Rome to Oswego engaged the attention of the people of Williams- town. A special town-meeting was called January 27, 1847, at which time it was decided " that the town should subscribe for and take seven thousand dollars, being one hundred and forty shares, of the stock of the Rome and Oswego road, agreeable to an act passed May 7, 1844."
The number of votes cast was just a hundred, of which eighty-three were for the project and seventeen against it. The road was soon after built through the town. About the year 1850, Mr. Morse built the first tannery in the town. It was in operation for more than twenty years, during which time it was purchased by Messrs. J. and J. Costello.
In the fall of 1860 the New York Central railroad com- pany entered into a contract with Calvert Comstock, of Rome, for cutting a large quantity of wood and lumber in this town. In pursuance of this contract, Mr. Comstock proceeded to construct a railroad from Williamstown sta- tion, on the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburgh railroad, to a point four miles north, since called Maple Hill. Here he erected several mills, and a little village sprang into ex- istence. One of the mills was capable of sawing eight mil- lion feet of lumber per year. A post-office was established at Maple Hill in 1863. At one time there were five hun- dred men engaged, and forty car-loads of wood were deliv- ered daily at Rome.
As the wood became scarce in the vicinity, the road was extended into the town of Redfield. The contract expired
in 1871, but was renewed for two or three years. Some work was carried on until 1876, when the mills were taken down and the road was abandoned. Maple Hill ceased to have a post-office in 1873. Several of the buildings con- structed while this contract was in operation are still stand- ing, but are unoccupied.
About a third of the land thus cleared is now under cultivation.
At a special town-meeting, held September"11, 1864, the following resolution was adopted :
" Resolved, That the sum of four thousand dollars be raised by this town for the purpose of an additional bounty to soldiers, or such portion thereof as may be necessary to fill the quota of this town, under the present call of the president of the United States, and that the portion of said sum necessary to be used be applied and levied upon said town at the next annual meeting of the board of supervisors of the county of Oswego, and that the said money, when collected, be applied to the payment of a note made by the citizens of said town, of $35,000, raised for the said pur- pose of filling the quota of said town, and that the same amount be reimbursed to persons who have furnished sub- stitutes to apply on said quota."
At a special town-meeting, held on the 31st day of Jan- uary, 1865, at the house of Thomas S. Brownell, to vote on the question of raising by tax a bounty for volunteers, for one, two, or three years, to fill the quota of the town under the last call of the president, the vote resulted as follows :
The whole number of votes cast was one hundred and twenty-eight, of which thirteen were for no bounty; one hundred and seven were for a bounty for one year ; one was for a two years' bounty, four for a three years' bounty, and two were in favor of a bounty for a hundred years !
In 1865 a train containing about a hundred Fenians, on their return from Canada, passed over the Rome, Water- town and Ogdensburgh railroad, accompanied by a detach- ment of United States troops. Upon arriving at Williams- town station they left the train, and demanded liquor at the Sage House. On being refused they commenced an assault upon the hotel with stones, brickbats, clubs, and everything they could lay their hands on. They were ordered to return to the train, and on their refusing to. do so the troops fired upon them, killing one of their num- ber and wounding several more. This reduced them to obedience.
The old tannery which was built by Mr. Morse in 1850 was burned on the 20th of April, 1873, and Messrs. J. and J. Costello, who were the owners of the building at the time, immediately commenced the erection of a new build- ing upon the same site.
The tannery then built, which is still owned and carried on by these gentlemen, is one of the largest in the State, the yard being forty by five hundred and fifty feet, and containing three hundred and twenty-nine vats. This es- tablishment consumes upwards of seven thousand cords of bark annnally.
Williamstown village contains eleven places of sale, three of which keep a general assortment of merchandise. Three are groceries, two are furniture and undertaking establish-

ments, one is a drug-store, one a hardware-store, and one a harness-store. There are also three blacksmith-shops, three wagon-shops, a grist-mill, several saw-mills, two meat-mar- kets, three hotels and a tannery. There are two physicians in the village,-Dr. Joseph Gardner and Dr. Samuel L. Cox. Mr. R. J. Carter is the only lawyer.

The drug-store is kept by Healey & Farnsworth ; the furniture- stores by W. S. Castle and S. Greenhow ; the hardware- store by J. G. Powell; the meat-markets by Charles Reading and George Bronson & Son. The harness-makers are Wil- liam D. Stacy and S. G. Mann; the wagon-makers are S. R. & W. A. Crandall, David Shaw, and Alexander Mc- Auley. The grist-mill is owned by Edwin Hunt. The hotels are the Sage House, G. C. Potter, proprietor ; the Selden House, D. G. Curtiss, proprietor ; and the Daggart House, Daniel Daggart, proprietor.
THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
The ground occupied by the church building was given to the society by Matthew Brown, in 1817. Elisha Tibbets, who claimed title to the land, also gave a deed of it. Some of the first members of the church were Solomon Goodwin, Robert Paul, and Nathan Goodwin. The trustees in 1817 were Samuel Torbert, Adamus Comstock, and Daniel Stacy. Robert Paul was one of the first elders. The present elders of the church are James Aird, William Potts, and A. Bur- dick. The Sabbath-school was organized near fifty years since. The attendance at present is about eighty. The library contains two hundred and fifty volumes. Arthur B. Powell is librarian.
THE METHODIST CHURCH.
The early records of this church are not to be found. The society was organized about 1825. The present offi- cers are Nathaniel Harris, Edwin Stone, Franklin Stone, Jesse Spencer, William Waters, and George Luther. The present pastor is Rev. Lemuel Clark. There are three Sunday-schools in the town, with seven hundred volumes in their libraries, which are all under the charge of this church.
THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.
This society is of recent origin, having been formed June 17, 1877. Services are held at present in a hall in the village, which has been fitted for the purpose.

The population of Williamstown in 1830 was 606. Since then, at different periods, it has been as follows: In 1840, 830; in 1850, 1121; in 1860, 1144; in 1865, 1948; in 1870, 1833; in 1875, 1815. It will be seen that the large number added to the population during the wood-cutting period have almost all remained since that business has been substantially abandoned.
The votes at the last five presidential elections have
356

been as follows: In 1860, Democratic, 147 ; Republican, 98; in 1864, Democratic, 181 ; Republican, 103 ; in 1868, Democratic, 581; Republican, 149; in 1872, Democratic, 20 (!); Republican, 133; in 1876, Democratic, 289 ; Re- publican, 122. The change from five hundred and eighty- nine Democratic votes in 1868 to twenty in 1872 is probably the most remarkable political change on record. One would be led to suspect that Mr. Greeley did not have many ad- mirers in Williamstown.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
HON. CHAUNCEY S. SAGE.
The subject of the notice comes of the Puritan stock which set foot upon Plymouth rock in 1620. His father, Roswell Sage, was born in Berkshire county, Massachusetts, in the year 1789, from whence he emigrated to Lewis county, State of New York, in 1812, where he was drafted into the military service of the United States, and served in the war then existing with Great Britain until its close. He then settled on a small farm in Verona, Oneida county, New York, where he resides, at the present writing, with his youngest daughter. Here on this farm was he who is the subject of our sketch born, on the 5th day of Septem- ber, 1816, and in this town of Verona was he raised, re- ceiving such an education as could be obtained at the com- mon schools of those days, supplemented by one term at the Verona academy. His four sisters are all now living.
In 1840 he became the proprietor of the Verona Centre House, a hotel built on the line of the Utica and Syracuse railroad, then just completed. He followed the business of Boniface but a year and a half in this locality, at the end of which period he exchanged his hotel for a farm near the village of Oneida, and carried on farming operations for the next seven years, and through the financial disasters of 1847. In 1848, Mr. Sage, to better his pecuniary condi- tion, went into the State of Illinois and bought sufficient prairie land to enable him to engage in more extensive farming operations than heretofore, but his wife and her friends not being friendly to the project he abandoned it, and in the winter of 1849-50 turned his attention to Wil- lianstown, where in April following he located on a small farm adjoining the village, where he now resides. Mr. Sage soon after began the manufacture and sale of lumber, buying considerable tracts of timber- and farming-lands during the time. He also subsequently engaged in mer- cantile trade to a limited extent, conducting his enterprises with a fair amount of success. He has also contributed somewhat to the building up of the village, erecting the Sage House, a store, blacksmith-shop, and several dwell- ings.
Mr. Sage in politics has always been an anti-slavery man and a Republican, helping to form the latter party, whose principles he has ever steadily maintained and up- held, and though residing as he does in the strongest Democratic town in the county, has been especially fortu-
nate in the hearty support received from his neighbors and townsmen, without regard to party lines, in the many posi- tions of honor and trust to which their votes have elevated him,-tokens of respect and confidence on their part which are highly gratifying to him. In 1855 he was elected super- visor of his town, and re-elected in 1856, and has since then received the suffrages of his townsmen for the same position for three additional terms. In 1857 he was elected member of the assembly from the third district, and has also served in the legislature during the years 1858, 1871, and 1872. He was appointed assistant assessor of United States internal revenue, serving five years as such officer. In 1861 he was appointed postmaster of the village, which position he has continued to hold to the present time. He was efficient, during his incumbency in the supervisorship, in filling the quotas of the town under the calls of the president for troops, and especially so in enlisting volunteers for the One Hundred and Forty-eighth Regiment, and, with Austin Burdick, James L. Humphrey, and Ichabod Allen, contributed a bounty of twenty-five dollars cash to each volunteer from his town in that regiment, in addition to the towo bounty of fifty dollars.
In 1840 Mr. Sage was united in marriage to Mary E. Cummings, by whom one son, Hiram L., was born to him, and who now resides in Rockford, Illinois. Mrs. Sage died in 1842. In 1844 Mr. Sage took unto himself an- other companion, his present wife, Lucy Lee, who has borne to him one son and three daughters,-John L., who is married, and engaged in business with his father; Mary E., married, and a resident of Brooklyn; Lucy L., mar- ried, and residing in Williamstown; and Cora E., who resides with her parents.
ASHBEL ORTON
was born at Williamstown, New York, October 2, 1811. His father was engaged in the hotel business, which he car- ried on in connection with farming. In June, 1826, his father died, and Ashbel left home the same year and began the world for himself, and, after traveling four years, and gaining thereby considerable information, he returned to Williamstown. He then went on his grandfather's farm, where he remained two years, and at the expiration of that time purchased a farm from his own savings. In 1836 his mother died, and he sold his farm, and bought of the heirs the old homestead. In 1831 he was joined in mar- riage to Mary Bonney, by whom he had seven children,- four sons and three daughters. In August, 1862, his wife died. In December, 1864, he married Lovina Huntley, two daughters blessing this union, namely, Mary L. and Helen F. In 1852, he bought one thousand acres of land adjoining the homestead, and in 1875 bought the pleasant village-home where he now resides, enjoying the comforts his industry and enterprise have secured to him. He owns, in addition to the above, a fine farm of four hundred acres in Iowa, on which is an extensive saw-mill, with general lumbering machinery and facilities. Mr. Orton is a gentle- man very much respected by the community in which he resides, and is in every particular an honest and upright
