The present membership of the church is one hundred and thirty-five. There is a flourishing Sunday-school connected with it, having two hundred and ten volumes in its library. The following are the present officers: Pastor, Rev. J. H. Mun- sell; Clerk, Asa Carpenter ; Deacons, Asa Carpenter, Ste- phen Scripture, L. A. Warriner, and Willis A. Harding ; Trustees, J. S.

THE FIRST METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
A Methodist class was formed in town as early as 1811, as Mrs. Clarissa Hadley, a still surviving member, was converted and joined it in that year. The class gradually increased in numbers as the country settled; but it was not legally incorporated until 1830. The following year the present commodious church edifice was erected on what is now Railroad street, in the village of Sandy Creek. Rev. Elisha Wheeler was the pastor at that time, but we have been unable to obtain the names of his successors.
This church has flourished greatly, and is now much the largest of any in town, the number of full members being about two hundred and fifty, and that of prohationers forty. There is a very large Sabbath-school connected with it, having twenty officers and teachers, one hundred and fifty scholars, and two hundred volumes in its library.
The church edifice is valued at two thousand five hun- dred dollars, and the parsonage at three thousand, and the whole property is entirely free from debt.
The present officers, as furnished us, are as follows : Pas- tor, Rev. W. Watson (in his third year); Superintendent of Sunday-school, Henry L. Howe; Trustees, George S. Buell, Henry S. Davis, Lewis L. Wilder, Henry F. Howe, and John Hollis.
There is also a Baptist church, now under the pastorate of the Rev. Mr. Martin, with a house of worship on Main street, in the southi part of the village of Sandy Creek ; but

after repeated applications we have been unable to learn anything regarding its history.
THE WEST SANDY CREEK CIRCUIT (METHODIST EPIS- COPAL).
From a very early day there were a considerable number of " Reform Methodists" in the west part of Sandy Creek, and a less number of the Methodist Episcopal churches. The former had at one time a class of eighteen members. Revs. Jacob Hadley, Josiah Chapin, and Ashbel Frazier, of the Reformed Methodists, and Rev. Mr. Stevens, of the Episcopal Methodists, who all lived in the vicinity, preached for nearly fifty years at the various school-houses along the lake-shore.
In the fore part of 1859 a shoemaker, named Mellen- driek Paddock, living in that locality, began preaching at the neighboring school-houses, though then belonging to no church. He preached but two or three sermons at each school-house, gaining a remarkable number of converts. At the first he obtained twenty-five, at the Goodenough school-house fifteen, at the Leach school-house eighteen or twenty, at the mouth of Sandy creek twenty-seven, at the May school-house over twenty. At the next one on the south he obtained none, and he then stopped his revival work. He preached to his converts till June, and then advised them to join some church. He himself, with the most of his converts, united with the Methodist Episcopal denomination, and he became a Methodist minister.
This curious revival was the origin of a flourishing Methodist circuit, which was at once organized with three classes ; one meeting at the mouth of Sandy creek, one in the "Goodenough" neighborhood, on the line of Ellisburg, and one at Port Ontario, in Richland. Mr. Paddock was the first pastor, preaching for a year. Ile was succeeded by Rev. Mr. Frazier, and he by Rev. Mr. Bowen. Rev. W. C. Smith preached from 1864 to 1867. His successors in turn were Rev. William Empey, Rev. A. S. Nickerson, Rev. Lucius Whitney, Rev. Mr. Hubbell, Rev. J. Jenkins (1874), Rev. J. G. Benson (1875), and Rev. Edward Everett (1877).
In 1872 a neat little church edifice was built just south of Sandy Creek. A church had also been erected in the "Goodenough" neighborhood, but it is just over in Ellis- burg. The class there has about thirty-three members, of whom three-fourths are in the town of Sandy Creek. That at the mouth of the creek has about forty. The members of the Port Ontario class all reside in Richland.
The following are the officers of the circuit, which in- eludes the three classes : Pastor, Edward Everett; Stew- ards, Richard Ehle, John Patterson, Elisha Reynolds, Joel Morey, Charles Learned, Judah Roberts, Alonzo Tryon, and Edward Everett. The trustees of the Centre church property are Nelson Sprague, Asa Lindsay, Chas. Learned, Alonzo Tryon, and Judah Roberts.
SANDY CREEK AND LACONA UNION SCHOOL.
Up to 1871 there had been nothing but the ordinary distriet school in Sandy Creek. At a meeting of the voters of districts 9 and 10, comprising the villages of Sandy Creek and Lacona, held on the 15th of April, in that year,
it was voted to consolidate the two districts in one, and to eleet nine trustees, constituting a board of education. The first board consisted of William T. Tifft, Hamilton E. Root, II. L. Ilowe, Rev. II. II. Waite, S. H. Barlow, P. M. Newton, E. L. Nye, William L. Hadley, and A. L. Thompson. The first officers of the board were II. E. Root, president; S. II. Barlow, sceretary ; and W. A. Hadley, treasurer.
II. L. Howe, Esq., was delegated to go to Oswego and other points to examine buildings, consult teachers, etc., regarding the proper kind of structure to erect. Oren R. Earl, Esq., donated four aeres for the purposes of the school, in a fine, sightly location, on the principal new street, between Sandy Creek and Lacona.
The school building was erected in 1872, at a cost of eight thousand dollars; and we think any one who sees it will admit that it is an extremely cheap structure. It is built of brick, the main part being forty-three feet by sev- enty-five, and two stories high. Two projections, of mod- erate size, add diversity to the aspect, over one of which rises a handsome tower, while above the other is a lower tower, in which swings a bell. On each floor is an audi- ence-room, with three recitation-rooms adjoining. The whole edifice is heated by a furnace in the basement. It is supplied throughout with patent folding-seats, and all the rooms are surrounded by slate-finished blackboard. Two thousand dollars were expended in furnishing it.
The first school was held in the winter of 1872-73, Rev. B. E. Whipple being the first principal. He was succeeded by John G. William, and he by the present principal.
The school system of the Union distriet is now organized as follows: The senior and junior departments meet at the Central school, under a principal, a preceptress, and three assistants. The Western primary school is at the Sandy Creek school-house, with two teachers; and the Eastern primary at the Lacoua school-house, with one teacher. All are under the general supervision of the principal.
The nature of the primary department is sufficiently in- dicated by its name. The junior department embraces the common English branches, and the senior department in- cludes the higher English branches and elassies, so far as to fit the student for college. The average attendance during the past year has been one hundred and ninety. The present principal is J. Edmon Meassee, and the present preceptress is Miss Mary E. Munger. The board of edu- eation is now composed of Henry L. Howe, president; William L. Hadley, secretary ; P. M. Newton, W. J. Ste- vens, H. I. Davis, W. T. Tifft, J. S. Robbins, Alvin Hadley, and Perry Bartlett. W. A. Harding is treasurer of the board, and Henry Ainsworth collector. The ex- amining committee consists of D. E. Ainsworth, Esq., Rev. J. HI. Munsell, and J. L. Bulkley, M.D.
Thoroughly organized, amply appointed, liberally sup- ported, and situated between two thriving villages, the school promises a long life of vigorous usefulness.
SANDY CREEK LODGE F. AND A. M .- This lodge was instituted on the 22d day of June, 1865, with II. L. Ilowe as Worthy Master, J. L. Bulkley as Senior Warden, and W. J. Stevens as Junior Warden.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
HON. OREN R. EARL
was born in Ellisburg, Jefferson county, New York, No- vember 2, 1813. His parents moved from Rhode Island, and settled in Ellisburg at what is now the village of Pierrepont Manor, in 1805. His father was twice married. By the first wife he had five children ; by the second, two. The second wife, whose maiden name was Polly Howe, was the second child born in Sandy Creek. The subject of this sketch was the third child of the first set. He worked on the farm with his father until thirty-three years of age. He moved to Sandy Creek in 1844, purchasing an eighty-acre lot about one mile north of Sandy Creek. For a number of years Mr. Earl dealt in cattle, driving them to the Albany market. From 1857 to 1868 he operated the large tannery in Sandy Creek, making it a success. Was vice- president of the Syracuse Northern railroad from its organi- zation until its sale to the R., W. & O. R. R. In politics, Mr. Earl is Republican. He was elected supervisor in 1845, and has served in that capacity, at different times, for fifteen years. He was elected to the assembly in 1847. He was married June 20, 1845, to Jennett Salisbury, daughter of Nathan Salisbury, one of the early settlers of Sandy Creek. They have no children, At the present time (1877), Mr. Earl owns and carries on three farms,- altogether five hundred and thirty aeres,-and the only banking-house in Sandy Creek. Energetic and thorough in all his undertakings, no interest, public or private, com- mitted to his hands has ever suffered, and whether as farmer, tanner, banker, or public servant, he has been almost uni- formly successful.
HON. ANDREW S. WARNER
was born in Vernon, Oneida county, New York, January 12, 1819, the second of ten children,-two sons and eight daughters. Mr. Warner moved to Sandy Creek in April, 1837, and settled on the farm he has owned and occupied ever since. He was first married to Mary E. Greene, daughter of Henry K. Greene, of New Haven, Oswego County, October 19, 1842. Five children were the result of this marriage,-four sous and one daughter,-only two of whom are now living, Adelbert A. and Gerrit S. His wife died June 22, 1859, and October 3, 1861, he was married to Cloe Monroe, daughter of Barnabas Monroe, one of the early settlers of Sandy Creek. Four children were born to them, all living,-viz., Wilbert, Monroe, Warren W., and Mary T. F.
In politics Mr. Warner is a Republican. He was twice elected to the assembly, serving in the years 1855 and 1856. Was elected to the senate, and served in the years 1860 and 1861. Entered the army as colonel of the One Hundred and Forty-seventh Regiment New York Volunteers, and

his health failing, received an honorable discharge. Few men in the county have led a more active life than has Mr. Warner, and none are more closely identified with all in- terests which conserve the prosperity of a community.
JULIUS S. ROBBINS
was born in the town of Palmyra, Ontario county, New York, October 18, 1816. His grandfather on the mother's side, George Harding, moved into that portion of Richland township which now constitutes the township of Sandy Creek in the year 1809. His parents moved to Sandy Creek in 1818, and settled on a farm on the Ridge road, now occupied by James Snyder. About the year 1836 they purchased the farm then known as the " Whiteside," now as the " Robbins," farm. Mr. Robbins lived with his father until thirty-one years of age. In 1844 he married Hester Raymond, of the town of Litchfield. One daughter was born to them, who died in infancy. His wife died March 2, 1850.
January 14, 1852, he married Elizabeth Clark, of Sandy Creek. Four children-two sons and two daughters- were the result of this marriage. One son and one daughter died in infancy. The two living are Marshall C. and Mary P. Leaving the farm in 1850, Mr. Robbins engaged in mercantile business at Sandy Creek, first as clerk then as partner, with his brother, E. V. Robbins, and afterwards by himself in general merchandising, dealing largely in farm products. He built the house he now occupies in 1857.
His first presidential vote was cast for Martin Van Buren, as a Democrat. He also voted for the same gentleman as the Free-soil candidate. He joined the Republican party at its organization, and has since been identified with that party. Though not a seeker for office, Mr. Robbins has filled the offices of school commissioner and town assessor, and was postmaster for ten years under the administrations of Lincoln and Grant.
In religion he is a Congregationalist, and has been one of the main pillars in that church, always contributing largely of his means to its support.
Mr. Robbins has passed an active business life, and is justly entitled to the respect and esteem in which he is held by all who know him.
BENJAMIN G. ROBBINS.
The subject of this sketch-son of Valentine W. and Parmelia Robbins-was born in Oswego County, New York, November 11, 1823. He was the fourth son of a family of seven children. He married Julia Grennell, of Ellisburg, Jefferson county, January 3, 1849. The result of this marriage was one son and five daughters, namely, Rosa J., Mary J., Flora M., Eva P., Benjamin A., and Lottie J.,- four of whom are now living.
Mr. Robbins-one of Sandy Creek's noblest sons, one who stood among the first in the hearts of the people, one who stood high as a public officer, a private citizen, a neighbor, and a Christian-was brought up a farmer, in which peace- ful occupation he spent his life. Born and educated in Oswego County, it was here he found a sphere for useful- ness. Having many times been elected to the highest place of public trust within the gift of the people of the county, he was ever found unwavering in his integrity and fidelity to their best interests.
Industrious and economical, yet never withholding his hand to any appeal for a good cause. Where duty called he obeyed.
For twenty-two years he was a member of the Congre- gational church of Sandy Creek, during which time he lived a consistent Christian life, holding the office of super- intendent of the Sabbath-school for fifteen years, and was one of the trustees of the church at the time of his death, March 3, 1871.
He held the office of supervisor during the years 1861, '62, '65, and '66; was town superintendent of common schools for several years. He also occupied many positions of trust in the county, such as loan commissioner, plank- road inspector, and was a member of the Republican county committee at the time of his decease. He had just en- tered upon his forty-eighth year when he was "called from his labors," leaving to his family a pleasant home,-a view of which, together with the portraits of himself and wife, is presented elsewhere in this work.
WILLIAM BISHOP,
the subject of this sketch, was born in Rensselaer county, New York, December 21, 1818. He was the oldest of a family of twelve children, of whom nine are now living. His grandfather, Hiram, and his father, Morris W., came from Vermont at an early day, and settled in Rensselaer county, and were among the early pioneers of that county. William Bishop married Cynthia S. Maxham, of Oswego County, on the 2d of March, 1842, and soon after pur- chased the farm upon which he now resides. The result of this union was two sons and one daughter,-namely, Abner S., born October 4, 1843; Asa M., born March 12, 1848; Rosa J., born November 4, 1853. The last two named still survive.
Mr. Bishop ranks among the enterprising farmers of Sandy Creek, and by industry has suceceded in placing himself in thriving circumstances. He and his estimable wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal church. For nearly a quarter of a century Mr. Bishop followed the lake, and for a portion of the time held the position of captain, since which time he has devoted his attention exclusively to agricultural pursuits. Mr. Bishop was at one time a Demo- crat, but for the last fifteen years has been a Republican. An illustration of the residence of this gentleman, together with portraits of himself and wife, can be seen elsewhere in this work.

C' LITTLE
AZARIAII WART.
HON. AZARIAII WART
was born in that portion of Orwell which now constitutes the township of Boylston, March 4, 1822. He was the fifth child of John and Rachel Wart, the first family which settled in that township. He was married on the 13th of October, 1841, to Almira Ormsby, daughter of Almon Ormsby, of Boylston. There were five children by this marriage, viz. : Pheba A., wife of C. E. Thomas, of Sandy Creek ; George, deceased at twenty-seven years of age; Sherman, Leonard, and Almon.
His wife died September 9, 1862, and he was again mar- ried, on the 26th of July, 1863, to Eliza Castor. Two sons are the issue of this marriage, viz., Wellington H. and Gilson A.
At the age of twenty-one Mr. Wart tried his first cause in a justice's court, and from that time on he frequently inter- changed his work on the farm for the trial of causes, until finally, in 1853, his services as counselor and advocate were in such demand, he determined to leave the farm and devote himself exclusively to the practice of law. He was admitted to the bar in 1859. Mr. Wart has filled various offices of public trust. At the age of twenty-nine he was elected supervisor of his town, and re-elected in 1852, 1854, and 1856. In 1853 he was elected to the assembly, receiving at this election all the votes cast in his own town- ship but three. For the last three years he has filled the offices of clerk and attorney of the board of supervisors of Oswego County.
Few men with his limited advantages for education and the study of the law have attained a higher place in the profession. Possessed of a natural legal mind, strong " com- mon sense," a good gift of language, coupled with long ex- perience at the bar, he is justly regarded a formidable an- tagonist in the legal arena.
