April 20, 1808, the meeting again assembled at the house of Peter L. Mawney, agreeable to adjournment. The com- mittee appointed to draft by-laws presented the following :
" Considering the prevaleney of intemperance in the excessive use of spirituous liquors ; considering the numerous evils and calamities to which the inhabitants of this and other countries are exposed ; eon- sidering the immense sums of money expended in the purchase of ardent spirits, and heartily wishing for a general reformation by the abolition of intemperance, and a more economieal and virtuons use of expenditures ; we, the subscribers, inhabitants of the county of Sara- toga, in the State of New York, being convened by previous notice, on the 20th of April, 1808, at the house of Peter b. Mawney, in the town of Morean, do agree, mutually, voluntarily, collectively, and individually, to form into a society for the purpose of suppressing vieious babits and encouraging moral virtue. For the regulation of said society and the better to carry its important designs into effect,
431
HISTORY OF SARATOGA COUNTY, NEW YORK.
the following by-laws are unanimously adopted by said society, to the strict adherence of which every member is bound by the penalties hereinafter mentioned.
" RY-LAWS OF THE MOREAU AND NORTHUMBERLAND TEMPERATE SOCIETY.
" ARTICLE I .- This society shall be known by the appellation of the Union Temperate Society of Morcau and Northumberland.
"ART. II .- The last Monday in October, at ten o'clock A.M., shall forever hereafter be the time for holding the anniversary meeting of the society, for the election of officers, at such place as a majority of members present at their last annual meeting shall agree. And it shall be the duty of the secretary to put up writtro notification of the same in at least three public places in Moreau and Northumberland three weeks preceding such meeting.
" ART. III .- The officers of the society shall consist of a president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, not more than seven nor less than three trustees, to be chosen annually by ballot, and a majority of the whole number of votes shall be necessary to a choice.
"ART. IV .- The members of this society shall not be allowed to drink any rum, brandy, gin, whisky, or any kind of distilled spirits, nor any kind of. composition of the above liquors, except by the advice of a physician, or in case of actual disease, under such penal- ties as shall hereafter be mentioned.
" ART. V .- Any member of this society who shall drink any of the liquors mentioned in the preceding sectioo, shall forfeit and pay to the treasurer, for the benefit of the society, the sum of twenty-five cents for each and every offense.
" AHT. VI .- If any member of this society shall be known to be intoxicated, it shall be the duty of the trustees of this society to admonish him of it. If said member will pay to the treasurer fifty cents and promise reformation for the future, he shall be excused; if not, he shall be considered a fit subject for expulsion.
" ART. VIL .- It shall be disreputable for any member of this society to offer any of the liquors mentioned in Art. IV. to any member of said society, or to advise or urge any other person to drink of said liquors, except in cases mentioned in Art. IV. And if in case any member should so offer, advise, and urge any person to drink of said liquors, he shall forfeit and pay to the treasurer twenty- five cents for each and every such offense.
" ART. VIII .- It shall be disreputable for any member of the so- ciety to speak disrespectfully of said society, or utter any words with intent to injure or bring said society into disrepute, and shall forteit and pay to the treasurer thereof twenty-five cents for each and every such offense.
" Ant. XX .- That it shall not be lawful for any member of this society to drink wine, except at a public dinner (except in cases stated in Art. IV.).
" ART. XXI .- That not any of the laws of this society shall in- fringe on the rite and ordinance of any church or religious socicty whatsoever.
** " ART. XXIV .- That each and every individual member of this society subscribe to the above laws and regulations, and consider himself bound strictly to observe and obey them."
The articles omitted relate simply to the ordinary man- agement and working details necessary to all similar organ- izations. The articles given above show the peculiar pledges and restrictions of this society, and in some respects they are decidedly curious compared with the orthodox iron-elad total abstinence pledge of modern times. A man conld drink, but must pay twenty-five cents fine. He could get drunk, but it would cost him fifty cents more than it used to before he joined the society, and besides, in this case, he must promise reformation.
Amusing as these things may seem, the society was never- theless a stont blow against intemperance.
It was the work of men in carnest, men who understood the evils they sought to remove. When the good wrought by the long line of temperance societies in subsequent years
shall be properly estimated, when the victories won for sobriety and virtue shall be entered in the grand record of earth's noble deeds, history will point back to the " Temper- ate Society of Moreau" as the first blow in all this long struggle. In the roll of earth's benefactors, Billy J. Clark is entitled to a high place. If the leaders in other enter- prises who develop a new idea and impress it on those around them are worthy of distinguished honor, so is Billy .J. Clark, the founder of temperance societies, the grand leader who in the then thick darkness existing upon this subject hung out a signal-light and called on his neighbors and countrymen to rally for temperance,-for peace, order, virtue.
At the same meeting when the by-laws were adopted the first regular officers were elected, as follows : Sidney Berry, president ; Ichabod Hawley, vice-president ; Billy J. Clark, secretary ; Thomas Thompson, treasurer ; Charles Granger, Gurdon Sill, Cyrus Wood, trustees.
The Rev. Lebbeus Armstrong was invited to deliver an address or oration at the next meeting. There were six, according to Hay's history of this society, who participated in the first meeting, but did not complete their membership by signing the constitution at the next meeting. If we leave these out, and also those whose names the same his- torian says are not found in the written records of the society, but only in certain printed lists, the actnal pioneer members would seem to be the following : Isaac B. Payne, Ichabod Hawley, David Parsons, James Mott, Alvaro Haw- ley, Billy J. Clark, Charles Kellogg, Jr., Elnathan Spencer, Asaph Putnam, Nicholas W. Angle, Dean Kellogg, John T. Seeley, Cyrus Wood, Henry Martin, Sidney Berry, Joseph Sill, Solomon St. John, Thomas Thompson, James Lambert, Thomas C. Bird, Calvin Wood, Esek Cowen, Charles Granger, Asahel Warren, Stephen Payne, David B. Keeler, William H. Jacobs, Shubael Wieks, Gurdon G. Sill, Lebbeus Armstrong, Joseph Sill, Charles Kellogg, John Berry, David Pierson, Esaae Chandler, Joseph Benja- min, Oliver Bissell, Jr., Ephraim Osborn, John Dumont, Joseph De Wolf, Isaac Annable, Gardner Stow, Horace he Barnes, Daniel Baldwin, Alexander Sutherland, Rodrick Le Barnes, John Thompson, Samuel Hinche, Jesse Billings, Jr., Simcon Berry, Jr., Russell Burrows, Jonas Murray, Jesse Woodruff, Park Freeman, John Le Barnes, I. J. Griswold, W. Angle, Jr., James Crocker, Stephen Sher- man, Abraham P. Green, John Coplin, William Velsey, Jr., Cyrus Andrews, Squire Harrington, Shubael Hicks, Eli Velsey, and Robert Brisbin.
Neither Billy J. Clark's grave nor the site of the old school-house is yet marked by the monument elaborately described in a prophetic strain by his enthusiastic biogra- pher, Judge Hay. In the old cemetery at Reynolds' Cor- ners he sleeps in an unmarked but not an unknown grave. His best monument is the orderly, virtuous community, trained by him and his associates in the ways of temper- ance. Of him may emphatically be written, " Hle rests from his labors and his works do follow him." The okl house where he lived, the office where he wrote the by- laws and resolutions, the well of pure cold water, delicious in its taste, which he loved to drink, and the Mawney house, are spots to which temperance pilgrims are even

now directing their footsteps, and they may yet become classie memorials of the temperance conflict.
Rev. Lebbeus Armstrong seems to have cordially seconded the plan of organizing a society proposed by Mr. Clark, and shared largely in the work. He was the pastor of the then existing Congregational church in Moreau,-a man of energy and courage, not afraid to utter his opinions in the pulpit or out.
Among the names connected with the organization were several afterwards prominent at the bar and on the bench, -Esek Cowen, then just commencing his legal practice in the humble office at Gansevoort Mills, and Gardner Stow, a student in the same office, afterwards attorney-general of the State. The other names upon that early roll are not so well known in public affairs, but none the less have many of them adorned the walks of private life equally honorable with those of greater prominence. They represent fairly the substantial body of citizens which have rendered Moreau noted for its virtuous, orderly, temperate society.
The original society of Billy J. Clark existed for many years, holding its annual meetings, and steadily continuing its good work, but it has not been kept up to the present time. Though many temperance societies have been or- ganized on the same ground, and many meetings held, it would not be eorreet to say that they were the same organi- zation. But though the apostolie succession of temperance workers has not come down to the present in an unbroken line, yet the spirit of Billy J. Clark survives upon the plains of Moreau, and even the stronger principle of legal prohibition, first proposed by Gardner Stow, of this old society, is dominant there,-no licenses being granted for the sale of intoxicating drinks.
X .- PLACES OF HISTORIC INTEREST.
Situated as the town of Moreau is, with the Hudson on both the north and east, old Indian-trails must have crossed its territory, as well as the routes of other armies, to some extent. Yet the well-known points of actual French, Indian, and Revolutionary warfare are just without its limits, leav- ing only a few places that have any special historie interest. Just outside Fort Edward, on the hills near the end of the wagon bridge, were in early times the remains of intreneh- ments, inclosing, perhaps, half an aere. Lent Hamlin onee gathered seventy balls on that place. Doubtless the west bank of the Hudson, below the fort, furnished rallying- places for guarding the valley against the descent of enemies.
The broad level plains in the central portion of the town must have been much easier to travel over than the moun- tains farther west, or even the broken country near the river. No doubt these were a favorite route for Indians crossing the river at Glen's Falls, on the way to the valley of the Mohawk. At South Glen's Falls the Parks massa- cre occurred, in 1777, a full account of which is given elsewhere, and there was also a fortified position, held there for a short time at another stage of the Revolutionary war. It is related by L. G. Olmstead that his maternal grandfather led a company of troops on their way to join the Revolu- tionary army up the valley, on the west side of the river, and that they encamped for one night at the mouth of Snoek Kill. The place at Fort Miller is ealled in the older
histories the " second carrying-place of the Hudson," and the fort was built in 1755 by Colonel Miller. Noah Payne, living opposite the " Black house," above Fort Miller, is spoken of as a prominent Whig, at whose house Moses Harris, the noted seout employed by General Schuyler, often found shelter, protection, and assistance.
XI .- INDUSTRIAL PURSUITS.
A part of the southern and eastern portions of the town are fertile, and agriculture is pursued with success. Other portions of the town are sandy and poor. The general oe- cupation of the people is farming, but in the northern part a large number are engaged in the various lumbering, mill- ing, and manufacturing enterprises that are in operation along the Hudson river. Perhaps the sandy portions of Moreau may have been settled by the stratagem which IIol- den's " History of Queensbury" relates with reference to a Mr. Thurman, who is said to have taken beech-nuts to the south part of the county as specimens of the buckwheat that was raised here. The Moreau lands at that time were rather highly estimated, owners being unwilling, it is said, to exchange them acre for acre for the rich alluvial lands of Waterford.
XII .- MILITARY.
The War of 1812-15 ealled into the field some soldiers from Moreau, but we can only give their names as reeol- lected by citizens, there being no record in town to copy from. The following have been seeured :
Tompkins, who lost his life; James Coburn, Samuel Putnam, Bloster Merrill, Solomon Parks, Elisha Danford, the latter was a captain in the service. Of one of the vol- unteers they relate the story that, being unaccustomed to military life, he did not for a time appreciate the strictness requisite to a proper discharge of duty. Being placed on guard before the tent of the officers, he went off just about when he saw fit to get something to drink. When arrested for the neglect of duty, he innocently replied, " He didn't suppose the officers were afraid !" He escaped punishment, but probably did better next time. Truman Wilcox was also in the army of 1812, perhaps from some other town than this.
The activity of the town officers and the unanimity of the people in the War of 1861-65 is shown in the action of the town-meetings, where the war-measures passed without a dissenting voice, and the number of volunteers who aetu- ally went into the service. The list of those who went, appended to this history, is made as accurate as possible, considering how rapidly history is lost when trusted to memory alone, and that the record was not written up in the town elerk's office under the law of 1866. We are indebted, as are the citizens of the town, to Mr. Beecher, at the post-office, South Glen's Falls, for the valuable labor he bestowed upon the list for 1861-65.
Aug. 9, 1862, a special town-meeting was held to con- sider the questions of enlistment for the war. A. L. Rey- nolds, supervisor, presided, and C. V. Kenyon, town clerk, acted as secretary. The committee on resolutions were J. G. Stillwell, Jabez Hamilton, B. Ingalsby, A. L. McOmber, and George Payne. Patriotic addresses were made and a strong series of resolutions adopted, fully organizing the
433
HISTORY OF SARATOGA COUNTY, NEW YORK.
town by school districts to canvass for volunteers and for subscriptions. The entire resolutions passed without a dis- senting voice and amid great enthusiasmn. Twenty-four volunteers were obtained on the spot. At another meet- ing, Aug. 19, 1862, the town bounty was voted at $100.
June 13, 1864, at a special town-meeting, a town bounty of $300 was offered for volunteers ; and at another meeting, July 23, 1864, the town bounty was inereased to $500; Aug. 29, 1864, the bounty was increased to $800.
A fine military company is maintaining an active organ- ization at the present time at South Glen's Falls. It was formed in the summer of 1876, and mustered into service in November of that year. The officers are (1877) Fred. Gleesettle, eapt. ; William Higgins, 1st lieut. ; John II. Yattaw, 2d lieut. The company is known as the " Hughes Light Guard," 5th separate company, 10th brigade, 3d division, N. G. S. N. Y. The company musters about seventy-five men. During the great strike in July, 1877, they were called to Troy, and participated at the elose of the " campaign" in the grand review at Albany. When they were about to return, Brigadier-General Alden sent ahead of them the following complimentary telegram: "Give a hearty greeting to the Hughes Light Guard. They de- serve it for their soldierly conduct."
WAR OF 1861-65.
The first call in the War of 1861-65 was for thirteen men. A bounty of $50 was offered, and the men obtained in a single afternoon ; thought to be the first bounty in the United States. The following is a list of the soldiers from Moreau :
