Samuel Stimson, Jr., married Mehitabel Ellithorp, a daughter of Azariah Ellithorp, in Edinburgh, January 1, 1803. In April, 1805, he removed to Day and bought a farm of a Mr. Wight. It was on lot 39, Glen and Yates patent. Here he lived and raised a family of six boys and three girls. Mrs. Abby A. Randall lives on the homestead. Solomon L., Samuel L., and John F. Stimson live in Day. Mrs. Mary E. Baker lives in Day. Mrs. Susan M. Cope- land lives in Edinburgh. The nearest post-office at the time Mr. Stimson settled here was at Waterford. Letters were expected about once a year. The postage was twenty- five cents, and seldom prepaid. Correspondence in those days was a slow, solemn, and serious business. Mr. Stim- son kept the first blacksmith-shop in Day. It was located on the flat, a little east of the house.
Palmer, Wells, Backus, Ward, Wight, Joseph Kellogg, Wm. Huxley, Moses Hayden, John Perry, Wm. Colson, James Thomas, and Mr. Clay were other early settlers.
In 1848 a bounty of ten dollars was offered for every full-grown panther or wolf killed in the town.
The Craig house, on the site of William Aldrich's pres- ent residence, was the first frame house built in Day. San- ders' mill, on Daly's creek, was built about 1808 or 1810. Thaddeus Scribner was the first mail-carrier in this section. In 1821 or 1822 his route was from Ballston through Greenfield, Corinth, Hadley, Day, Edinburgh, Providence, and Galway to Ballston. He followed an old Indian trail that ran from Albany through this section, and crossed the Sacandaga at what was called Iluntoon's rift.
Joseph Rockwell was first postmaster. The office was at his house. He served some thirty-five years, and was succeeded by his son, Samuel Y., who held it several years.
The Kathan family, who are quite prominent in business and social circles, originally came from Dummerton, Ver- mont. Luke Kathan, a son of Charles and Lydia Kathan, came from that place to Day in 1822; bought lands and commenced farming on the place now occupied by his son Truman. In 1823 he married Freelove Allen, a daughter of David Allen. They have had a family of fifteen chil- dren, six sons and nine daughters, all of whom reached ma-

Mrs. Sarah Wait lives in Michigan. Mrs. Betsey Huntoon and Mrs. Anna Wait live in Canada. Monroe lives in Hadley.
Abner Wait moved from Rhode Island to Saratoga County in 1790. lle first settled in Galway, but after- wards removed to Day, near the East Day church. Ile died in 1830. None of his children are living. His son, Abner, Jr., married Sally Johnson about 1810. Ile died in 1850. His family consisted of eleven children,-eight sons and three daughters. Six sons and two daughters are still living. One of these, John J. Wait, lives on a very fine farm, on the north side of the Sacandaga, in Hadley, and is the present supervisor of that town.
IV .- ORGANIZATION.
Name .- This town was erected April 17, 1819, from the towns of Hadley and Edinburgh, and was named Con- eord. It being afterwards discovered that there was already a town ja the State bearing that name, it was thought ad- visable to change it, and it was called Day, in honor of its most prominent eitizen and business man, Eliphaz Day, who had died in April previous to this action.
The first town-meeting was held in the spring of 1820, and Eliphaz Day was elected supervisor. The records of the town were burned in 1847, and we are unable to give a full account of its early civil and political history.

V .- VILLAGES AND HAMLETS.
There are two small villages in this town, and part of the village of Conklingville also lies within its limits. Ilunts- ville is a little village about half a mile east of the west town line, and consists of some twenty dwellings, two stores, one blacksmith-shop, one wagon-shop, one elothes-pin fae- tory, one hotel, a school-house, and a church. Day Centre is a small hamlet a little south of the centre of the town. It comprises about a dozen dwellings, one store, one hotel, one blacksmith-shop, one school-house, and two churches. Just north of it is a saw- and grist-mill, on Paul creek.
Huntsville was named from the sign on the tavern, in 1835, after Amos Hunt. Three brothers, Walter, George, and Ziba Hunt, came to West Day in 1817. Amos Ilunt was a son of Walter. George IIunt built the first store in 1835, and it was oeenpied by his son Charles. The first house in Huntsville was built in 1822 or 1823, by a man named Owens, and was used for an inn for several years.
The wooden-ware shop was built in 1869 by Isaac N. Scott. It is now used as a saw-mill and elothes-pin factory.

HISTORY OF SARATOGA COUNTY, NEW YORK.
Croweville is a little hamlet on Sand creek, about three and a half miles from its mouth. It has about a dozen dwellings, one tannery, and not far from ninety inhabitants. The tannery, which is in the " village," was built by William Fowler, in 1856, and sold to Crowe and Kyne, in 1859. In 1865 it was bought by Henry Poor & Son, of Boston, who are present owners. It is under the supervision of Lewis E. Wait. It employs about twenty hands, uses eight thousand hides yearly, and turns out an annual product of one hundred and forty tons of sole-leather, valued at $60,000. The buildings are about fifty-two by three hundred feet, and two stories high. The power is furnished by one twelve-horse central-discharge water-wheel and one sixty- horse engine with four boilers. It uses about fifteen hun -. dred cords of bark yearly.
In the fall of 1825 a dam was built across the Sacandaga at the mouth of Bell brook, and a saw-mill was built about twenty rods above the present bridge, on the north bank of the river. The water was conveyed to this mill through a small canal. Eliphaz Day, Abner Wait, and John Johnson were the owners. The dam flooded the flats and caused con- siderable litigation, the fall was insufficient, and finally the dam was torn out in 1828, and, with the mill, moved down the stream into the town of Hadley.
VI .- SCHOOLS.
The first school-house in Day was built about 1814. Amos Lawton taught in it two winters, and was teaching a third term, when, in 1817-18, the school-house was burned. He took his school to a vacant room in Henry Paul's house and taught ont the term. This school-house stood near where the Presbyterian church now stands. The mound near it marks the spot where the school-house chimney stood. Sally Copeland, Esther Beebee, and Mrs. Susan Ilontoon were among the early teachers. A teacher named Fundy taught an early school in a log house on the flat, below Warren A. Randall's. " Preacher" Clark and Laura Wells also taught there before 1808. After the old school- honse burned a new frame building was erected on the lot east of the present school-house. Here school was kept from 1818 nutil the present house was built, in 1868.

VI .- CHURCHES.
In 1812, or about that time, Elder Simmonds organized a Baptist society in Day. Ile and Daniel Corey preached at school-houses and private honses for several years. No church was ever built, and the society at last broke up and became extinet.
Rev. Mr. Wellman, a Methodist minister, used to preach in Daniel Hines' house as carly as 1807.
REFORMED PROTESTANT DUTCH CHURCHI OF DAY.
Rev. Andrew Yates, D.D., in accordance with the in- structions of the classis of Schenectady of the Reformed Protestant Dutch church, organized a society of the mem- bers of that denomination in Day Centre, on the 14th of November, 1842. The infant church consisted of nine members, viz. : John B. and Betsey Yates, Wilber Paul, Warren A. and Abby A. Randall, Samnel and Mehitabel Stimson, Aun Yates, and Susan M. Armstrong. A con- sistory was chosen consisting of Samuel Stimson and War- ren A. Randall, elders; John B. Yates and Wilber Paul, deacons. At a meeting held May 12, 1844, Rev. Andrew Yates, Samuel Stimson, and Thomas Yates were clected as a building committee, with instructions to build a church edifice, and with full powers to make purchases and con- tracts in the name of the society. The church was com- menced immediately, and the church was finished the same summer with the exception of the inside work, which was but temporary, and has since been changed. The church was dedicated in the fall of the same year.
The society, from its organization till the new church was completed, was ministered to by Revs. Andrew Yates and R. A. Avery, who held occasional services in the school- house during that time. The church was built of cut stone, is about twenty-eight by forty-five feet square, surmounted by a square belfry with a railing above that. The bell was donated by the citizens of the vicinity, who raised the neces- sary funds by subscription. The total cost of the edifice was about 83000. Upon the completion of the church the Board of Domestic Missions of the Reformed Presbyterian Dutch church installed Rev. J. A. Lansing as the settled pastor of the church, which relation to the church he main- tained until the spring of 1848, when he terminated his pastorate and removed to Bethlehem, N. Y. From that time the church was served in a ministerial capacity by the following pastors : Rev. Mr. Raymond, Rev. Mr. Meade, Rev. I. N. Voorhies, Rev. W. L. James.
In 1855, Rev. Calvin Case became the pastor, and served till 1857, in the spring of which year he closed his labors. He was the last pastor of the Reformed Protestant Dutch church. For the next ten years there were no regular meetings, although Rev. Isaac Devoe and others held occa- sional services during that time. In June, 1867, a meet- ing of the society was held to consider the desirability of changing its form and ecclesiastieal relations, and it was de- cided to change the society into a Presbyterian church, and to connect it with the presbytery of Albany. The follow- ing officers were then chosen to form the session of the new church, viz. : For elders, Warren A. Randall. Joseph Yates, and Isaac J. Flansburgh. The ministers who have preached since the change are Rev. David Edgar, Rer. George Craig,

Savage, William and Elizabeth Van Avery, Isaac and Cath- erine Havens, L. and Ellen Kinzy, Warren and Mila Bloss, Eliza Paul, Sarah Queeny, Rosanna Akley, Lois Perry, Antoinette Bloss, Joseph Wells, William Edmonds, Nelson and Frank G. De Golia.
The church, a plain wooden structure, about thirty by forty feet in size, was erected in the fall of 1868 and dedi- cated in the following winter. It cost about $2200. The present membership is thirty-seven. The trustees are Daniel Lyon, Smith Clark, Hiram Darling, William Yates, and William Van Avery. The stewards are Warren Bloss and Uriah C. Buck.
A Sabbath-school has been held in connection with the church most of the time since its organization till 1876.

FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF DAY.
At a meeting of the Christian citizens of the eastern part of the town of Day, held in the school-house near the Kathan homestead on the 18th of November, 1833, Elder HI. V. Teal organized a society with the above name, an- nouncing that they took the Scriptures as their only guide, and recognizing Christian character and belief as the only qualifications for membership. The following-named persons subscribed their names to the church-roll, viz .: Isaiah Canon, John and Sylvia Baker, Seth F. and Susannah IIuntoon, Sally Wait, James Fraker, and Susannah Allen.
Services were held in the school-house during the next thirteen years until, in 1846, a board of trustees, consisting of Edward Scovil, John J. Wait, and Luke Kathan, were elected and instructed to build a church, thirty by forty- four feet, with a vestibule across the front and a gallery above it, from sixteen to twenty-feet posts, and a suitable belfry. It was also declared that the church was free to all denominations when not in use by the society.
The church was built during the fall of 1845 and the winter following, and was completed in the spring and oecu- pied for religious meetings. It cost about $1000. David Wait served as elerk for many years.
The following is as complete a list of the pastors as we have been able to obtain : Rev. Elias Sloat, Rev. Wil- liam B. Haight, Rev. W. B. H. Beach, Rev. Charles J. Butler, Rev. J. Pratt, Rev. J. F. Wade, Rev. E. Tyler, Rev. R. B. Eldridge.
John Baker, Oliver Baker, Samuel Washburn, Edward Scovil, Abner D. Wait, John J. Wait, and Lewis Gray have served in the capacity of deacons, the two last named holding that office at present.
Since its organization about two hundred and twenty persons have been members of this church. Of this num- ber there have been dismissed by letter twenty-seven ; re- moved, eleven; withdrawn, live ; expelled, six ; died, twenty- five ; disfellowshipped, dropped, and otherwise disposed of, sixty-eight ; leaving seventy-eight as the present member- ship.
A Sunday-school, with an average of about fifty schol- ars, is connected with the church. They have a small library. Lewis Gray, superintendent, and Truman Kathan, assistant superintendent, are the present officers.
SECOND CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF DAY, AFTERWARDS CALLED THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF WEST DAY.
Dec. 19, 1857, a meeting was held in the sehool-house in West Day to organize a society of the Christian denom- ination. Rev. Elias Sloat and Rev. Latham Coffin, mem- bers of the New York Eastern Conference, were present and instituted the church.
The following were the original members : Eugene, Electa and Fatima Frost, Harvey C. and Lydia A. Palmer, Samuel and Betsey Fulton, Philo Colson, Orlando Herrick, Lucy Greenslete, Barbara Scott, Hannah Van Vleck, and Mary A. Deuel.
Eugene Frost was clected to the office of deacon, and Harvey C. Palmer was chosen clerk of the society. Rev. Elias Sloat was first pastor, and was followed by Revs. W. B. Il. Beach, Charles I. Butler, J. Pratt, E. Tyler, J. F. Wade, and R. B. Eldridge, who is the present pastor.
The church, which is a plain, neat- looking structure, was commenced in 1861, but was not finished till the fall of 1865. In December of that year it was formally dedicated, Rev. W. B. II. Beach preaching the dedicatory sermon. The church cost about $2000. II. C. Palmer, Isaac N. Scott, and Samuel Fulton were the first board of trustees. Previous to the organization of the church, religious mect- ings had been held occasionally at the school-house for a number of years.
The first Sunday-school was organized by Dennis Hol- comb, and was held in the old school-house. A flourishing Sunday-school is now connected with the church. R. B. Eldridge is superintendent ; A. M. Lawrence, assistant superintendent ; P. L. Colson, secretary.
The present officers of the church are David Ryther, I'. L. Colson, L. H. Frasure, trustees ; William H. Marcellus, P. L. Colson, stewards ; Isaac N. Scott, clerk.

HISTORY OF SARATOGA COUNTY, NEW YORK.
VIII .- BURIAL-PLACES.
There is a burying-ground in the southeast part of the town, near J. Clute's, and also one near the house of wor- ship belonging to the Christian church.
At Day Corners is a burial-place, and there may be other points of private family grounds.
IX .- PLACES OF HISTORIC INTEREST.
At two or three places in town several specimens of In- dian relics have been picked up. Near the mouth of Bell brook, in Conklingville, some years ago, several arrow- heads, spear-heads, broken pipes, and stone pots were pieked up, and one man is said to have discovered a sort of handle, grasping which he gave the command, " Draw sabre," and gave a pull. It held fast, however, and was dislodged only by violent exertion. When it was drawn from the ground it proved to be an old sword, and is supposed to have been a relic of the French and Indian wars. The river formerly fairly teemed with the finest trout, and the valley was a favorite hunting- and fishing-ground for the dnsky aborigi- nes. Near the present residence of Richard Flansburgh a few years ago a part of a large stone kettle was plowed up near an old stump. It was made of a kind of soft sand- stone, and evidently had served to cook many an Indiau dinner in the far past.
When the first settlers came into this country there was a fine elearing on the flat near the river, east of Heman Colson's house. It was surmised to have been an Indian corn-field, but more probably was the result of the labors of some white settler who had been murdered or driven away from the home he had created in the forest by his relent- less foes.
X .- INDUSTRIAL PURSUITS.
The business of Inmbering and peeling bark is largely carried on in this town, and furnishes the means of obtain- ing a livelihood to many of its inhabitants. The tanneries of Henry Poor & Son use most of the bark. The logs are floated down the river to the mills at Conklingville, Jes- sup's Landing, and Glen's Falls. The principal dealers in these articles are Enos Murphy, E. & H. Darling, Irving W. Guiles, Leonard Yates, and Lewis E. Wait.
In 1833 a woolen-factory was built on Paul ereek, about two miles from its mouth, by John B. Yates. A store and other buildings were soon put up, but after a few years the property was put to other uses, and the factory is now oe- cupied as a dwelling-house. The other buildings have gone to deeay, and what it was hoped would become a thriving village has dwindled away until nothing remains.
The principal occupations of the people of Day are Jum- bering, gathering hemlock-bark for market, stock-raising, and general farming, so far as the soil and capabilities of the town permit.
In 1871, F. G. Macomber and William H. Catline built a factory for the purpose of extracting tannic acid from hemlock-bark, to be used in the manufacture of leather. The buildings and machinery and apparatus represented a first cost of $28,000. In ninety days from the time work was commenced the factory was in running order, and turning out a very superior quality of extract. The weight of the extraet was about ten pounds to a gallon, and a cord
of bark would make about three hundred and fifty pounds of extract. This product was mostly shipped to Boston. The price of extract under excessive competition rapidly declined, and the business became unprofitable. The fac- tory was run for about two years, and then stopped. The machinery was sold to parties at Wellestown, Hamilton county, who removed it, and the building still stands, near the residence of Heman Colson. Mr. Macomber still re- sides on a fine farm in the eastern part of Edinburgh, iu a very pleasant location.
XI .- MILITARY.
Of the heroes of the Revolutionary war but three are believed to have settled within the limits of Day. These were David Johnson, who died in Day on Feb. 22, 1839, aged 81 years ; Amos Flood, who came to Day about 1832, and died there Aug. 17, 1834; and Phineas Austin, who died Nov. 21, 1828, aged 81 years.
In the War of 1812, Daniel Fraker, Joseph Flansburgh, Thomas Totman (fife-major), Zabiu Shippy, Arnold Paul, Wm. Colson, Jr., and Moses Colson took up arms and went forth to defend their country. All of them are now numbered with the dead.
The number of soldiers who went from this town in the years from 1861 to 1865 is, considering the scant popula- tion, quite large, and speaks well for the patriotism of the inhabitants. The following is as perfect a list as we have been able to obtain from the means at our disposal ;
