A Sabbath-school was first started in connection with this church about 1825. It was more fully organized, and has been regularly maintained since about 1856. John B. Packer was the superintendent at that time. About five or six years ago the practice of keeping up the school through- ont the year was introduced, with good results. The school numbers about one hundred and fifty scholars. Charles T. Wicks is the present superintendent. The library contains about two hundred and fifty volumes.
Among the first members of the church were Mary Weed, Joseph Johnson, Nathaniel Bartlett, Otis Bartlett, Caleb Stevens, Wilson Northrup, Caleb Holmes, Henry Enearl, Samuel Baldwin, Asa Beach, Thaddeus Northrup, Bostwick Brown, Joseph, William, and John Brown, Elijah Knapp, Ezekiel lloyt, Eliab Skinner, whose names are not elsc- where mentioned. Want of space alone prevents giving a full list of the names attached to the roll.
THE UNITED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF WEST
CHIARLTON.
This church is more generally known as the " Old Scotch Church," or the " Scotch Street Church," from the fact that its founders were all natives of Scotland, and called the road running north and south through their settlement Scotch street.
From the time of their first settlement in 1774 till they were forced to leave their homes and flee to Schenectady from fear of the Tories and Indians in 1777, regular weekly meetings were held from house to house on each recurring Sabbath. After the danger was passed, and confidence and safety restored and assured by the successful close of the Burgoyne campaign, but few of these people returned, and it was not until several years later that the society was fully organized. Additions to the settlement were made rapidly after the close of the Revolution, and a church was organ- ized. The preaching previous to 1794 was by occasional sup- plies from different points. Among them were Rev. Mr. Miller, of Schenectady, who was the first preacher in this vicinity; Rev. Messrs. Dobbin, Occum, Logan, Colison, and Proudfit, from Salem, Washington county ; Rev. Mr. Don- aldson, of Albany; Rev. Mr. Dunham, and Dr. Thomas Clark.
In 1794 the church, having built a house of worship, gave a call to Rev. James Mairs, who, having been educated for the ministry in Ireland and Scotland, emigrated with his brother in May, 1793, and reached Salem, Washington county, in August of that year. Having accepted the call, he was installed as the first pastor of the church Feb. 20, 1794. The relation thus assumed was maintained intact and unbroken until May 20, 1835, a period of forty-one years and three months. At this time he was nearly seventy years of age, and a fire which destroyed his home and burned up his library he accepted as a Providential inti- mation that his day of active labor was passed and the evening of his life drawing near. He had seen the progress and growth of the church from a weak and small organiza- tion to a large and strong society, had seen the fathers of the church pass away, and another generation grow gray in the service of the Master, and had scen, as the fruits of his ministrations, six hundred and thirty-one different persons admitted to the church. After the close of his pastorate, Mr. Mairs removed to the vicinity of New York, and continued to preach in various places, as opportunity offered, till his deatlı, which occurred Sept. 18, 1840. Mr. Mairs was edu- eated for the medical profession, and, though never prac- ticing medicine, his neighbors and parishioners often availed themselves of his skill, and were relieved from their pains and cured of their diseases by his remedies.
Ile was succeeded, Nov. 15, 1837, by Rev. Andrew Johnson, who remained till May 16, 1855, a period of seventeen and one-half years. In 1844 he was granted a leave of absence to take a trip to Europe for his health, and returned in May, 1845, so changed in appearance that his congregation did not recognize him until they heard his voice in the pulpit. During his pastorate an incident oc- curred illustrative of the church-going habit of the people. A Sabbath of unusual severity and very stormy occurred,

and the dominic thought that it was so very unpleasant and inelement that no one would venture ont to church. But, while he sat at home, slowly, one by one, and two by two, the members congregated at the church, and finally, tired of waiting, dispatched a committee to notify the pastor of their presence. Taken by surprise, he hastily prepared himself and repaired to the church. Selecting for his text the words, " Go ye and learn what that meaneth. I will have mercy, and not sacrifice," he preached a powerful and eloquent extemporaneous discourse.
Following him came Rev. Addison Henry, a young man of twenty-four, a graduate of Jefferson College, who was pastor of the church at the time of his death, some five years afterwards. He was installed as pastor Nov. 3, 1858. For many months before his death he preached regularly even after he was unable to stand upright, and had to leau upon the desk for support. A very short time before his death he preached a farewell sermon, sitting in his chair and reading from the manuscript. His text was 2d Corin- thians, 13th chapter, 11th verse.
It was a very affecting scene. He was taken worse im- mediately, and died at the house of his father-in-law, Robert Orr, in Galway, on Sabbath morning, Dec. 6, 1863. Ilis funeral was held on the following Thursday, and Rev. J. I. Clark preached the funeral sermon.
May 4, 1864, Rev. W. N. Randles was installed as pastor, and served till the spring of 1872. During his ministry a religious convention was held under the auspices of the presbytery of Albany. Daily meetings were held for eight successive weeks. In the spring of 1866, as a result of these meetings, forty-four persons were added to the church.
The present pastor, Rev. William M. Gibson, entered into pastoral relations with this church Oct. 30, 1873. Last year he prepared a centennial sermon upon the his- tory of this church, and produced a work of great interest, and involving much labor and research. This he kindly placed at our disposal, and we have availed ourselves of the privilege and drawn largely from it in preparing this brief his- tory. The first sacrament of the Lord's Supper was admin- istered on Oct. 5, 1794. There were then thirty members of this church. At that time the first officers were chosen. They were, Elders, John McClelland, John Major, and John Anderson. Subsequently, the following persons were elected and ordained as elders of the church, viz., John Low, John Alexander, William Gilchrist, George Ramsey, Peter An- derson, Thomas Alexander, James Bell, William Bunyan, Jolin Low, Daniel Ostrom, Peter Major, Hanse Boggs, J. L. Smith, William S. Smeallie, Robert Orr, Alexander Gil- christ, Henry Ostrom, Alexander F. Alexander, and George Bell. The five last named form the present session. George Bell is clerk of the session.
This church has sent four young men into the world as ministers of the gospel. They are Revs. Ebenezer Maxwell, John Major, Thomas Kirkwood, and George Alexander. The present membership is one hundred and seventy-five.
The first meeting-house was built before 1794, and stood on the southeast corner of John McKindley's farm, adjoin- ing the town line of Galway and Charlton. It was in the town of Galway. This was a frame building, was never
lathed and plastered or artificially warmed, and yet here in the coldest weather of our rigorous winters the people assembled and listened to the dispensing of the Word of Life. In 1803 a new and larger house was built " on the southwest corner of James Bell's lot of land in Charlton," which now forms part of the West Charlton cemetery. The new church was forty-two feet in width by fifty-six in length, and was built under contract by William Bunyan and Robert Brown. It was finished off in 1804, and in 1811 the modern luxury of stoves was introduced. In order to equalize the temperature, these stoves were cle- vated on platforms some three feet above the floor. The church was repaired some years later, and the height of the pulpit floor, above the floor of the house, was reduced to fire and one-half feet.
In the summer of 1846 the present church was built. It stands on the west side of the road, a short distance south of the second site. It is a fine-looking building, and occupies a beautiful and sightly location. The interior of the church is very finely finished, and the walls and ceiling are beautifully frescoed. From a vestibule twelve feet wide across the front two flights of stairs lead to the gal- lery above, and two doors open into two aisles running the length of the church. The pews are sixty-six in number, and with the gallery will comfortably seat from three hun- dred and fifty to four hundred people. The reading-desk, or pulpit, is massively built and heavily moulded, and pre- sents a fine appearance. In 1876 about $3000 was cx- pended in repairs, and the church, which is certainly one of the finest country churches in the county, is valued at $7000.
A glebe lot of one hundred acres was purchased in 1794. It lay in the town of Galway, about two miles north of the present church. It was sold to Rev. James Mairs in 1820, a special enabling act being passed by the Legislature for that purpose. In 1837 the present parsonage lot of eleven acres was purchased of George Mead for $385, and a par- sonage was erected thereon, which is still in use.
For many years Sabbath-schools were maintained in the different school districts, and in 1864 these were all merged in a Congregational school at the church. From that time it has been maintained in connection with the church, and with an average attendance of about one hundred members. Ilenry Ostrom is the present superintendent. Instead of a library, Sunday-school papers are largely distributed among the scholars.
The cemetery is a model of neatness, and notable both for its pleasant location and the number of fine monuments that adorn it. The first burial was that of Esther Neilson Gilchrist, who died Dec. 8, 1778.
THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, CHARLTON,
was organized about forty years ago; Sabbath-school for the past twenty-five years; the average attendance abont fifty. The present superintendent is the pastor, Rev. D. T. Elliott. The library contains three hundred and fifty volumes. The church is a plain building without a tower, and will afford comfortable sittings for two hundred and fifty people. The parsonage attached is valued at $1000, and is owned by the Charlton circuit. The present officers

of the church are W. F. Haywood, J. H. Skinner, H. L. McCormick, N. Swart, W. A. Taylor, M. E. Myers, and James II. Watkins, stewards ; C. R. Gordon, E. Westfall, Fred Jansen, E. Weld, J. H. Skinner, W. F. Haywood, James II. Watkins, and M. E. Myers, trustees. The pas- tors in order sinee 1866 have been Revs. Jas. B. Wood, R. Patterson, S. S. Ford, William Earl, John H. Coleman, and David T. Elliott, the present incumbent.
VIII .- BURIALS AND BURIAL-PLACES.
The first death in town was David Sweetman, who died April 18, 1778, aged two years. Ile was the son of Thomas Sweetman, and was buried in the Sweetman family burial- ground. The first burial in this church-yard was that of Jesse Conde, a son of Jesse and Parthenia Conde, who died in 1778. A large butternut-tree is growing upon his grave. The first burial in the grave-yard south of Charl- ton, near Chondy's mills, was that of Ziba Granger, date unknown. The earliest burial in the West Charlton or Scotch Street cemetery was that of Esther Nelson Gilchrist, who died Dec. 8, 1778, in her twenty-eighth year.
IX .- TOWN SOCIETIES.
The first temperance society in Charlton was organized in 1827 or 1828. Its pledge was against the use of spirit- uons liquors simply, and permitted the use of ale, beer, cider, etc., as comparatively uninjurious and harmless. Ladies were not permitted to join the society. It was composed of twenty members, all of whom are now dead except the first president, Mr. John Bunyan, who still survives. The society went down about the time the Wash- ingtonian movement was at its height.
X .- SCENES OF HISTORIC INTEREST.
The scenes of historical interest in Charlton are quite searce. Indeed, aside from the Gonzalez tragedy but little of the rude shock of war ever touched its broad and fertile fields. The scene of that tragical occurrence is located in the southwestern part of the town, close to the line of Glen- ville. Here, in April, 1782, Joseph Gonzalez and his son Emanuel were killed by a marauding band of the St. Regis Indians. Another son, John, a youth of fifteen, was eap- tured at the same time, together with a hired man, and carried to Canada, where he was forced into the British army. The rest of the family escaped with a horse and wagon and reached Crane's village, on the Mohawk, three miles distant, in safety. A company of scouts followed the Indians as far as the Fish house, where the trail became too indistinet to be followed and the pursuit was abandoned.
XI .- INDUSTRIAL PURSUITS.
The principal and almost the sole occupation of the people of Charlton is agriculture.
The improving condition of the farms and the farm build- ings attest both the natural fertility of the soil and the skill as well as the industry of those who till it.
A ready market for all the produce raised is found in Seheneetady, at an easy distance from every farmer's home.
XII .- MILITARY RECORD OF CHARLTON.
The soldiers of the Revolution who afterwards resided in the town were Dr. William Mead, who served as a surgeon.
After the war he practiced his profession in Charlton till 1829, when he died. Capt. Henry Bowne, who died in Charlton in 1830, Peter Sylnave, Jeremiah Stone, Benja- min Marvin, and Hezekiah Watkins.
The soldiers of the War of 1812 who went from Charlton were Capt. John Ferguson, who died in 1864, aged ninety- four years, Joseph Beach, James Richey, Lawrence Gardiner, Jared Smith, Delsa Benjamin, Ezra Seelye, - Swart, who died in service at Sacket's Harbor, Major Millard, Jonas Crane, David Low, a surgeon and paymaster, who was very expert in performing surgical operations. At Plattsburg he is reported to have said that he had " taken off more limbs than any other man in the same length of time." And Capt. David Gordon, who afterwards won fresh laurels in his profession, and became a general of militia. On the authority of Lieut .- Col. Taylor, of Half- Moon, we add also Thomas Kirby, Joseph Watkins, and Asher Cox.
In the War of the Rebellion Charlton was well repre- sented by some of her noblest sous. They went forth to fight in defense of their country's flag, and their record at- tests both their patriotism and their valor. Necessarily there must be many imperfections in a list compiled from the memories of the survivors, and after the lapse of twelve years, but we hope none mentioned will suffer injustice, or fail to receive the full meed of praise deserved by their acts while members of the army.
