The first post-office at Rock City was established in 1849. Harlow Van Ostrand was appointed postmaster, and has re- tained the office ever since. Oscar Granger was the con- tractor for carrying the mail.
The first post-office in the town of Milton was established at the residence of Joel Keeler, the present place of Alvah D. Grenelle.
MILTON IIIL.L.
This cannot now claim to be a village, but it had very hopeful prospects for twenty or thirty years succeeding the Revolution. There was Powell's store, at one time selling more goods than any other country store in the county. Two churches were erected there. It was on the Middle Line road, the centre of the town, and in itself a beautiful hill ; but in after-years stores, churches, and business enter- prises were attracted to Ballston Spa and the villages above. The store was closed, the churches dissolved, their houses of worship removed. Speculation in corner-lots and the opening of broad avenues ceased to excite the citizens of the " Hill."
Mr. Powell's store was on the corner of the road leading to West Milton from the " Hill." Ilis dwelling-house is still standing near. Mr. Powell came about 1800. Of his sons, Elisha is now living in New York, Westill W. in Tennessee, George B. a lumber merchant of Oswego. A daughter, Elizabeth, now Mrs. Dr. Wright, resides at New- town, Long Islaud.
ROWLAND'S MILLS.
This hamlet is on the eastern line of Milton, and not far from the village of Saratoga Springs. The place is named from H. R. Rowland, the proprietor of the saw- and grist-mills that are situated upon one of the branches of the Kayadrossera. Southeast of the mills there are also stone-works. Prince Wing resides at Rowland's Mills, and is very extensively engaged in milling, burning lime, and farming. In these occupations he employs a large number of persons. Prince Wing is a native of the town of Greenfield, his father having settled there at an early date.
1 I .- SCHOOLS.
The town organized its school districts in pursuance of the law of 1812.
The school at Ballston Spa is the largest and most im- portant in the town. Other schools of considerable num- bers and sustained with a commendable public spirit are at West Milton, Rock City, Milton Centre, and Bloodville.

VIL .- CHURCHES. ST. JAMES' CHURCHI (EPISCOPAL).
In the year 1796 a parish styled St. Jaunes' church, Milton, was organized under the auspices of Rev. Ammi Rogers, who seems to have gone everywhere doing good. The first vestry of the parish was James Henderson and David Roberts, wardens; Abel Whalen, William Bolt, Joel Mann, Hugh McGiuness, William Johnson, Henry Whitlock, John Ashton, Thomas Shepherd, vestrymen. The church stood on Milton Ilill, near the present school- house. Rev. Charles MeCabe, pastor of the Presbyterian church in Milton, entered the Episcopal ministry and was for some years the rector of St. James'. About the year 1845 the services of the parish were discontinued and the members united with that of Christ church, Ballston Spa. The property was bought by Nathaniel Mann in 1849. Among the pastors are mentioned Rev. J. Perry, 1810; Rev. Mr. Adams, in 1809. Contributors to sustain the church were Everts, Alles, Barkers, Daniel Crawford, who lived south of Saratoga Springs; Anthony Creal, Phineas Roberts, Benjamin Crawford, Eli Beardsley, Martha Ful- lerton, Abner Hoyt, Hezekiah R. Iloyt, Noah Pullen, who lived in Galway ; John Bennett, Philip J. Kellogg, Benjamin Bennett, Abner Wilson, Jared Tallmage, Isaac Tallmage, Thomas B. Safford, Sarah Booth, Seth Tallmage, William Bolt, Levi Gregory, Ziba Taylor. These were all, no doubt, contributors as early as 1800, or soon after.
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHI OF MILTON.
It appears from the records in the office of the county clerk that this society was incorporated June 2, 1791. It may have been organized earlier than that, but then for the first time filed its certificate in accordance with law. The full name was " The Presbyterian Society of Milton, in the town of Ballston."
The trustees named in the certificate are William Wil- liamson, Ebenezer Couch, Benajah Smith, Silas Adams, Stephen Wood, Esquire Patchin. The signatures were witnessed by Cornelius Vandenburgh and G. N. Schoou-

hoven, and the return is signed by John Ball and Heze- kiah Middlebrook, offieers of the meeting. The meeting- house was at Milton Hill, and stood northeast from the present school-house, on the line of the highway.
Mr. Hovey was an early minister here, and in later years the names of Wright and Hermance are mentioned. The society was dissolved about the year 1840-4I, some of the members uniting with the church at West Milton, and others at Ballston Spa.
BAPTIST SOCIETY KNOWN AS THE "STONE CHURCH."
This is in the Bentley neighborhood, east of Rock City. The society was organized before 1800. The first meet- ings were held in private houses and in barns. The first meeting-house was built of wood, on the site of the present one, in 1801. The work was done by Elder Lewis, who also built the old farm-house of the Bentleys. It stood till 1826, when the present substantial stone building was erected. This Baptist church was one of the pioneer soci- eties of the town. Services have generally been maintained from the first settlement to the present time. The lot for the church site was bought in 1801, and deeded to John Bentley, Silas Adams, Daniel Green, Salmon Child, and Reuben Weed. The parsonage lot was bought Feb. 19, 1828.
A number of individuals from Stephentown, Rensselaer Co., from White Creek, Washington Co., and from Still- water moved into this part of Milton about 1785, and were soon after formed into a branch of the Stillwater Baptist church, receiving and dismissing members and managing their own affairs.
At a council June 22, 1793, the church was constituted an independent body, with forty-eight members. The ear- lier meetings were in barns and in dwelling-houses. The ministers encountered peculiar difficulties in discharging their duties. They had to travel through forests guided only by marked trees or over roads rudely and imperfectly opened. Their temporal wants were supplied by hard labor in secular employments, and their services on the Sabbath were but sparingly rewarded by pecuniary remuneration. This proceeded from inability of brethren in a new country rather than from any want of disposition to help their ministers. Some of the ministers were here but a short time, and no date is given. Smith, Covil, Finch, Lee, McClure, Rogers, Irish, and Peck were here when meetings were held in barus and dwellings.
The following is a list of the ministers, with the dates of their pastorates: Jonathan Nicols, 1803-7; Samuel Plum, 1814-22; Clay, 1822-24; E. Tucker, 1825-26; T. Powel, 1828-36; A. Seamans, 1836-37 ; J. B. Wilkins, 1838-39 ; J. Goadby, 1840-41; W. B. Curtis, 1842-48; Caleb Gurr, 1849-52; E. B. Crandell, 1852-54; Lewis Sellick, 1856-57; F. N. Barlow, 1857-60.
A. G. Waring is the superintendent of the Sunday-school, which numbers seventy members.
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF WEST MILTON.
This church was organized as the Covenanters or Re- formed Presbyterians. It was the religious society of the solid Scotch emigrants who came to Milton and Ballston
during or soon after the Revolution, and settled what was known as Paisley Street. Their sturdy Christian faith is still reflected in their children's children. The marble over their graves may crumble, their old homesteads may disap- pear, but their faith lives and flourishes. The first house of worship was erected on the present farm of John T. Conde, a mile and a half west of Spier's Corners. It was about forty feet square, two stories, with a spacious, old- fashioned gallery. It was abandoned in 1840, the old building sold to James Hayes, who moved it to his place in Galway and made a carriage-house of it. The new edifice was erected at Spier's Corners, on a beautiful elevation, soon after the sale of the old one, 1840 or '41.
The successive ministers of this church were of much character and ability, eight out of the twelve having, re- ceived the degree of doctor of divinity. The first pastor was James McKinney, who came from Ireland just after the United Irish rebellion, 1798. He was a large and powerful man both of body and mind. He was followed by the Rev. Gilbert McMaster, a name that afterwards be- come noted in the annals of American Presbyterianism. The remaining ministers have been Samuel Wilson, John N. McLeod, Rev. A. S. MeMaster, son of the second pas- tor, Rev. Samuel Stevenson, Rev. R. H. Beattie, Rev. M. McAleese, Rev. David G. Bullions, Rev. Peter Brooks, Rev. Andrew Johnston, and Rev. Wm. Scholl.
The first elders, elected about the year 1800, were John Willson (father of William Willson, the recent donor of the chapel and park), Alexander Glen, John Burns, Jo- seph Shearer, Alexander Donnon. All of these first elders and several of the later ones belonged to the l'aisley Street settlement, and are spoken of by those who remember them as a noble race of strong, brave Christian pioneers. The remaining elders have been Andrew Gardner, James Guth- rie, Robert Willson, James Hayes, William Willson, Charles McClew, William Charles, Adam Clute, Matthew Sherwood, John Parent, James Allison, John A. CInte, Noah S. Young, Frederick Streever, John T. Conde.
James Hayes, from whom these and many other items have been obtained, is still living, a ruling elder sixty years, a fair specimen of the solid men of old, who laid the foun- dation of our civil and religious institutions. With intense love for the faith of his fathers and the faith of his children, he is passing a serene and quiet old age, approaching with unfaltering trust the end of' a long and useful life.
METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, ROCK CITY FALLS.
The first meeting for organizing this society was held about the first of March, 1844. Alanson Richards, one of the circuit ministers, presided, and a committee to secure subscriptions was appointed, consisting of Joshua Swan, Gilbert Swan, Charles R. Lewis, Constant Potter, Seth Whalen, Darius J. Hewitt, William C. Kelley, and Asa P. Frink. At the second meeting, March 9, 1844, trustees were chosen as follows: Seth Whalen, Charles R. Lewis, Joshua Swan, James McIntosh, Harlow Kilmer. At a meeting of the trustees, April 22, Joseph Riggs was chosen clerk of the society, a building committee was named,- Joshua Swan, James McIntosh, Seth Whalen, and Harlow Kilmer. April 27, proposals were invited to build a house

of wood fifty-four by thirty-two. May 4, the proposal of HIarlow Kilmer to crect the house for $1300 was unani- mously accepted. Among the subscribers to the building fund were Joseph Riggs, $100; James McIutosh, Charles R. Lewis, Joshua Swan, Seth Whalen, John Taylor, $50 each ; Ilarlow Kilmer, $30; Constant Potter, Abraham Haynor, Asa P. Frink, Samuel Craig, Gilbert Swan, Darius J. Hewitt, Harlow Kilmer, David Van Ostrand, Roscius R. Kennedy, Isaac Rowland, Jr., Seth Whalen, and Joshua Swan, $25 cach; Thomas G. Arnold, $20; Norman Ar- nold and Nelson Walter, $15 each. These were all the subscriptions that exceeded $10.
March 26, 1855, Harlow Van Ostrand was elected clerk. April 11, 1868, the church basement was permitted to be used for academic purposes.
A ladies' aid society raised in 1863-67 nearly $300 for parsonage matters, and the parsonage, from the record, seems to have been completed by the liberal aid of George West and C. Kilmer.
This Methodist house of worship was the successor of an older one that was built at Swan's Corners in 1811. That house is still standing, devoted to other uses, but with the pulpit and altar still there, and some of the seats,-ob- jects of interest and almost of veneration to some long since removed to other towns, who wander back to the scenes of their childhood, and recall the early services in the old house.
In connection with this church was a Sunday-school in 1825-27. Among the scholars were Zerah Hoyt, now pastor of the Congregational church in Greenfield, Eleanor Tallman, Harlow Van Ostrand, and others now in middle or advanced life. A Bible class was conducted by Rev. Samuel Young, a local preacher.
CATHOLIC CHURCH, ROCK CITY FALLS.
This place was visited occasionally for many years from Saratoga. Mass on these occasions was said sometimes in the district school-house, but most generally in the dwelling- house of Mrs. Vogel. Mrs. Vogel's may be said to have been the cradle of Catholicity at the " Falls;" there the priest ever received a hearty welcome, and the people ac- commodation. This lady and her son John were the first and most active in the movement for a church at the " Falls."
Rev. John MeMenomy, in the month of October, 1872, after mass in the school-house, organized a meeting at which a subscription for a church was opened. Plans were pro- cured, and a contract made in January following. The church was finished and paid for within the year, with the exception of about $300. Mr. Chauncey Kilmer gener- ously donated a lot one hundred and fifty by two hundred feet ; his son Clarence gave $300; Mr. Welsh, $500; and his son $100 towards the erection of the church. The edifice was incorporated in July, 1874. The first incor- porators were John J. Conroy, bishop; Rt. Rev. Francis MeNerney, acting vicar-general ; John McMenomy, pastor ; together with John Vogel and John Enright, the two lay- men of the congregation. The corporate title of the church is " The Church of St. Paul, of Rock City Falls, N. Y."
The first pastor of the church was Rev. P. Smith, ap- pointed November, 1875. The present pastor, 1878, is Michael Mullany. The church was dedicated in Septem- ber, 1877, by Bishop MeNerney, assisted by Rev. P. Hav- ermaus, of Troy, Rev. J. MeMenomy, of Saratoga, and its pastor, Rev. M. Mullany. Father Havermaus preached. The choir of St. Peter's, Saratoga, sang the mass.
VIII .- BURIAL-PLACES.
As in the case of other towns, places of burial are nu- merous. In the northwest is a finely-situated burial- ground, opposite the place of A. D. Grenell. Northwest of Rowland's Mills is another, in which burials occurred at an early date. West of Spier's Corners, near the place of S. Young, is a cemetery of considerable age. Near the Presbyterian church of that place is the large cemetery of modern times. In the vicinity of the smaller villages there are also cemeteries. There is one in the Judge Thompson neighborhood, and some places of private burial already mentioned in another place.
IX .- PLACES OF HISTORIC INTEREST.
Two or three points of considerable historic interest are spoken of in the chapter upon the town of Ballston, places that were in the part of the town which afterwards became Milton. These will be noticed in the extracts from Judge Scott's address, and under various other heads both in this and other chapters.
X .- INDUSTRIAL PURSUITS.
The people of the town are very largely engaged in manufacturing enterprises, and these are fully stated in connection with the notices of villages. The agriculture of some portions of the town is, however, of an excellent and superior character. In the western, central, and south- ern portions there are many fine farms, fertile and produc- tive, giving evidence of the skill, intelligence, and practical thrift of their owners.
XI .- MILITARY.
In the War of 1812 there went from the town of Mil- ton, according to Lieutenant-Colonel Taylor, the following soldiers : Captain Reuben Westcott, Cornelius Schermer- horn, Freeman Thomas, W. J. Stillwell, Oliver Whitehead, Daniel Beach, John Wheeler, Alva Robertson, Timothy Bailey, and doubtless others.
The following is the military roll of those who weut from this town into the War of 1861-65. The action of the town in the raising of bounties was prompt and patri- otic. As in other cases, the list has been advertised and left for correction several weeks at Ballston Spa.
