The second rector, the Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald, who first opened the church for divine service, resigned July 17, 1875, and was shortly afterwards succeeded by the present rector, and from that time the morning and evening Sunday services have been regularly held.
The estimated cost of the church property, in the unfin-
ished state in which it now is, including the value of the lot, which was given by Mr. John Cope, has been, as nearly as it can now be reached, about $10,000.
The present rector is the Rev. J. B. Calhoun, who took charge of the parish Oct. 1, 1875.
THE SECOND FREE-WILL BAPTIST CHURCH OF ONEONTA is located in the eastern part of the village of Oneonta, on the corner of Maple and Main streets. The society was organized Aug. 11, 1856, and on Feb. 25 of the same year a council, consisting of Rev. A. Wing, Rev. D. Green, Rev. O. T. Moulton, Joseph Jenks, and Harvey Mackey, organized a church of sixteen members from the Onconta Plains Free Baptist church, now called the West Oneonta Free Baptist church ; which was done in accordance with a resolution passed by the latter granting those members the privilege of forming a new society.
The first pastor of the church was Rev. O. T. Moulton, who entered upon his pastorate in the spring of 1856, and remained about three years. During his pastorate the society erected a house of worship and a good number were added to the church. The next pastor was Rev. Palmer Strickland, who was succeeded in 1864 by Rev. Ezra Crowell, who was pastor about three years, during which time, through his efforts, three of the other churches in the village united with this church in holding union services once a month alternately with the four churches, which friendly association still continues (1878), and in this way all are becoming better acquainted with each other's ways and views. In the fall of 1867 the Rev. G. P. Ramsy became pastor, and preached until 1871, when Rev. O. T. Moulton again became pastor, officiating as such two years and six months, during which time a parsonage was built. In the spring of 1875 Rev. M. C. Brown commenced his pastorate, and closed his labors with the church Dec. 2, 1877.
The church joined the Otsego quarterly meeting of Free- Will Baptists, and is one of eight churches that constitute that quarterly meeting. The members of the church at present number 68. Number attending Sabbath-school, 90.
THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF WEST ONEONTA
was organized March 13, 1877, with a membership of 33. Rev. Alanson Thomas was the first pastor. The trustees were E. R. Whitman, I. G. Northrup, and Albert Rouse ; deacons, A. W. Bentley and E. R. Whitman. This church was recognized by council as a separate Baptist church June 20, 1877. .
THE FREE BAPTIST CHURCH OF WEST ONEONTA
was organized in about the year 1807, at Oneonta Plains, by Rev. Gideon Elliott, who became the first pastor. Among the early members of the church were R. Lawrence, John Van Wort, Jane R. Richards, Joseph Hodge, Ezra Gates, A. Gates, and G. Babcock. The first church edifice was erected in 1840, at Oneonta Plains, and in 1866 was re- moved to its present location, at a cost of about $800.
The following have served the church as pastors from its organization to the present time, viz. : Revs, Gideon Elliott. two years; Mr. Rowland, two years; Mr. Eldridge, two years ; L. Crandall, one year ; Mr. Lagreye, one year ; B.

GEN. SAMUEL S. BURNSIDE.
The subject of this sketch was born on the banks of the Sus- quehannn, in the town of Milford, Jan. 6, 1812. He was the youngest child in a family of five children of Samuel Burnside and Hannah Coon, the former a native of Saratoga, N. Y.
The Burnside family is descended from the great-grandfather of the general, whose name was Gloud, and who came with his three brothers front Ireland, and settled in this country in the year 1765. . His grandfather, James, eldest of the sons who came to America, settled at Stillwater, Saratoga county, N. Y.
The names of the other brothers of his grandfather were Wil- liam, John, und Thomas. The descendants of the great-grand- father, Gloud, all settled in New York State, the other brothers of Gloud Burnside settling, one in Pennsylvania, another in Massa- chusetts, and a third in North Carolina. The origin of the name " Burnside" is as follows: the original name of the family was Wallace, but from a custom in Scotland, that a family residing by n stream (Berne) they were called Thomas by the side of the Berne, and hence the naine, when changed about, Berneside or Burnside. The family was originally of Scottish origin, but previous to his great-grandfather's birth had migrated to the county of Tyrone, Ireland, whence they emigrated to America. His mother was a native of Albany county, N Y., and daughter of Conrad Coon, a native of Germany, and Nancy Stafford, a native of England.
In the year 1800 the Burnside and Coon families emigrated from Albany Co. to Otsego County, town of Milford, when it was a wilderness, prefering to do this rather than submit to the feudal system under General Van Rensselaer, the Patroon, by which each family contributed yearly so many bushels of wheat, so many fowls, and so many loads of wood.
Upon the breaking out of the Revolutionary war, his grand- father, James, and his brother William enlisted in the service of the colonists. James was a captain in the Anteriean army at the surrender of Burgoyne, 1777.
A remarkable incident in the family of Thomas Burnside, show- iug longevity and endurance, is that in his family of fourteen children, every one grew to manhood and womanhood, and them- selves raised families, and two now survive over eighty years of aige.
The family of Burnside have their annual festival at Colliers- ville, now numbering some five hundred persons including the branches of the family, and at the time of the writing of this sketch the general is president of the Burnside Association, and has heretofore often largely contributed to its interests intelleet- ually.
The general spent his early life at home. His father died May, 1824, when he was only twelve years of age. His subsequent years, until he was seventeen. were spent in district and select schools, where he so improved his opportunities as to be able at that time to engage as a teacher. He continued as a teacher, more or less winters, until 1832, when he commenced reading law with
.
Judge Worcester, of Otsego County, and was admitted to praw. in the Court of Common Pleas, 1835; Supreme Court Januars. 1839, as attorney, and as counselor in 1842
He first opened an office for the practice of the law in Schen . vus, Otsego County, where he remained only one year, and we: : to Worcester in May, 1836, and remained there in the practice . : his profession until 1859, with the exception of three years sjo .:.: as custom-house district officer at New York.
In August, 1859, he removed to Oneonta, and opened an ofi - and to the present time continues the practice of the law. Il .. library consists of some 950 volumes, and is considered one of !!! best libraries in the county.
In 1835 the general was commissioned as first lieutenant . : riflemen by Gov. Wm. L. Marcy, and in 1836 as captain by ti ... same governor. In 1839 he was commissioned by Gov. Wm. H Seward as major of infantry. In 1841 he ranked as colonel i a commission from Gov. Seward. Feb. 7, 1846, he was conia :-- sioned a brigadier-general of the second brigade of infantry t. Gov. Silas Wright. In 1849 he was, under a new organization ... commissioned brigadier-general of the eighteenth brigade by (i. Hamilton Fish. April 6, 1854, he was commissioned maj : general of the fifth division, containing ten counties of the Stat ... by cx-Gov. Horatio Seymour, which commission he still bd :. At the breaking out of the late rebellion, the general had 10.0 men under very good discipline.
General Burnside has always been an unswerving Democra! ! the Jeffersonian school, an ardent supporter of the Constitution and a strict constructionist. He has been largely identified w ..: the local interests of his town and county, holding offices of hw !: - and responsibility, and has been, for the past six years. He justiee of Oneonta village, and for the past four years president : the board of education. General Burnside has officiated : ex ... utor of estates among his fellow-citizens, showing their esteem . . his integrity. The most important is the Goodyear estate of aboe: a half million. In all these places of trust he has done honor to himself and justice to others. General Burnside is a modest. ! - ostentatious man, sociable, and ranks among the representative men of his profession.
Although brought up under Presbyterian influences, he became identified with the Universalist church soon after becoming : age, and has since remained consistent in that faith, suppentre liberally all causes looking to the education of the rising gerai- tion.
In May, 1835, he married Miss Lydia Ann, daughter of Len- Sherman and Hannah Lefenwell, of Milford, but formerly Connecticut.
They have no children, except one by adoption, D. C. Com. whom the general is edneating as a lawyer.
Mrs. Burnside is a consistent member of the Universalist chur b. unassuming in her ways, honored and respected by all who knew her, and a warm friend to the needy poor.

ONEONTA UNION SCHOOL.
D'hier to 1867 the educational facilities of Oneonta were 14 were afforded by the common or district school, w.f lemented by private or " select" schools. Many of there were well conducted and useful, but generally of too wy at continuanee to have much influence upon the intel- wv*ual development of the pupils attending them.
After the completion of the Albany and Susquehanna " had, and the greatly-increased activity and prosperity & business affairs caused thereby, it soon became apparent that something should be done for the improvement of the
In the autumn of 1867, Silas Sullivan, then trustee of the district school in the village, in response to a petition , nel by a number of the leading citizens, called a special who.l.meeting for the purpose of considering the propriety of organizing a union school. The following is a copy of !!- 1xtition :
7 . Fit.AS SULLIVAN, Sole Trustee of School District No. 5, of the Turn of Oneonta.
We, who are voters in school district No. 5, in the town of One- Fala, hereby request you to eall a special school-meeting for the pur- , . of determining whether a union free school shall be estab- ...- J in said district No. 5.
M. N. Elwell, Meigs Case, John Cope, Jr., S. Brownson, Henry M .,ber. Samuel Mendel, Andrew Mendel, James HI. Keyes, J. Roberts, : .. ab Farmer, E. T. Farmer, W. W. Snow, Chas. W. Lewis, Harvey Jaler, Geo. O. Phelps, John Cutshaw, Samuel HI. Case, Timothy *. st, Geo. W. Reynolds, and C. Uebel.
The meeting was held, pursuant to the eall, on the 20th of October, 1867. There were sixty-seven legal voters 1 ~. nt,-more than one-third of all the legal voters of the d.strict. General S. S. Burnside was called to the chair, a. I David J. Yager chosen secretary. It was resolved and Afrinatively voted that said school district No. 5 be then etyhd and thereafter known as Union Free School District .. 5, of the town of Oneonta, Otsego Co., N. Y. It was 1. voted to eleet a board of education, consisting of six ( Murs, to be divided into three classes,-their terms of See to be one, two, and three years respectively. The : Ewing.named persons were elected trustees : Silas Sulli- ven and Andrew G. Shaw, for one year ; David M. Miller I Rev. Geo. O. Phelps, for two years; and Harvey Baker Christian Uebel, for three years.
It was also resolved and voted-two-thirds of those pres- '' voting in the affirmative-to raise by a tax upon the frist the sum of $5000, to be applied to the creation of a suitable building for the accommodation of the school.
The board of education held their first meeting on Oct.
-. 1867, at which Silas Sullivan was unanimously chosen president and Andrew G. Shaw secretary.
The sum voted for the erection of the school building having been found inadequate for the purpose, a special school-meeting was called in February, 1868, at which an additional appropriation of $2500 was voted. The build- ing was completed and ready for use in the autumn of 1868, and the school was opened accordingly. W. F. Saxton was engaged as principal, assisted by Katie Rose in the senior, Julia Verguson in the intermediate, and Lizzie Wing in the primary departinent. The school commenced with a large attendance of pupils; it was well conducted, and the result fully justified the anticipations of its friends.
At the close of his second year of service, in 1870, Mr. Saxton resigned his position as principal. He was an earnest, faithful teacher, and had done good work in the or- ganization and management of the school .* He was suc- ceeded by Nathaniel N. Bull, who still (1877 and 1878) holds the position.
The school having outgrown the building provided for it, another smaller one was ereeted in the district in 1873. To this a part of the pupils in the primary and interme- . diate grades was transferred. An academie department was organized in 1874, and the school placed under the control of the regents of the university.
The first regents' examination was held in November of that year. In the following year, 1875, it became again necessary to provide more room to accommodate the growth of the school. An extensive addition was erected to the principal building, greatly increasing its capacity. The school has a library of about 300 volumes, and a good col- lection of philosophical apparatus. The number of pupils has steadily increased from year to year. The average daily attendance in 1870 was 150 ; in 1877 it was 298. During the latter year seven teachers were regularly employed.
