Peter Doig settled in the village in 1822, and opened a mercantile establishment in the building formerly occupied by Williams & Davidson. Other early mer- chants were William C. Van Horn, Seba Murphy, William A. Boyd, Philip Toll, and Richard Hardiker.

The first school-house in the village was erected in an early day, just north of the Presbyterian church. Among early teachers are mentioned the names of William Moulton, Robert Harriet, and Henry Hewett.
Hezekiah Seeley, son of John Seeley, was the first child born in the village, in a house which occupied the site of the present residence of William Jones, on Main Street.
Ovid, located, as it was, in the midst of a wealthy agricultural region, together with its climate and location, has kept abreast with the rapid tide of progress beginning with the settlement of the County.

VILLAGE OFFICERS .- The Board of Trustees is composed of the following persons : Clement Jones, Jr., Pres. ; James D. Purdy, Lorrin Conklin, Ezra C. Terry, and Frank Frantz.
The Ovid Academy was opened in this village in 1825. In 1855 its name was changed to the Sencca Collegiate Institute. The East Genesee Conference subse- quently assumed control of the institution, and conducted it under the name of the East Genesee Conference Seminary. It is now conducted as a Union school, and is in a flourishing condition. . The following are the names of the Faculty : William L. Hyde, Principal; Elizabeth Weaver, Preceptress ; Mary McQuigg, Mattie Seeley, and Della Crane, Teachers. The following compose the Board of Education : Thaddeus BoDine, Hugh W. Torrence, Elijah C. Howell, Dr. E. W. Bryan, and Joseph Dunlap. Senator Christiancy of Michigan and Hon. D. C. Littlejohn were once students at this academy.
The Ovid Bee was started in this village in 1838, by David Fairchild & Son. At the close of one year it passed into the hands of the son, Corydon Fairchild, who published it until 1874, when it was discontinued, and changed to the Ovid Independent ; Hyatt & Cooper, editors and proprietors. The office of the Inde- pendent was destroyed by fire October 11, 1874, and the paper was re-established by Oliver C. Cooper, the present editor and proprietor. It is a prosperous and influential sheet, independent in politics and religion.
Ovid is a flourishing village of eight hundred inhabitants, finely located upon the dividing ridge between Seneca and Cayuga Lakes. From the seminary observatory the eye sweeps over portions of nine counties, viz .: Tompkins, Che- mung, Steuben, Yates, Ontario, Wayne, Cayuga, Onondaga, and Seneca, while the waters of Seneca and Cayuga Lakes are plainly discernible, the former at a distance of three, and the latter at six miles.

The population of Ovid in 1835 was 2997; in 1840, 2721; in 1845, 2129; in 1850, 2248 ; in 1855, 2274 ; in 1860, 2538 ; in 1865, 2382 ; in 1870, 2403; in 1875, 2397.
MILITARY RECORD.

Colonel John Y. Manning was President of the meeting, and James B. Thomas and James Furgeson, Secretaries.

ABRAHAM VAN DOREN.
JANE VAN DOREN.
ABRAHAM VAN DOREN.
ABRAHAM VAN DOREN (the original of the above portrait) was born March 7, 1795, at Middlebush, Somerset County, New Jersey. His father, Abraham Van Doren, Sr., was born in New Jersey, January 30, 1743; served in the war of the Revolution; married Mary Covert in 1788; and on the day of the great eclipse of the sun, June 16, 1806, started with his family, consisting of his wife, five daughters, and two sons,-Jacob and Abraham, --- for the "Lake Country," as this region was then called. They, with their household goods, came in two wagons, by way of Paterson, Cherry Valley, Schenectady, Skaneateles, Hardenbrook's Corners (now Auhurn), to the foot of Owasco Lake, where Jacob, a brother of Abraham, Sr., lived, having accomplished this journey in eleven days. Shortly thereafter they came to Ovid, by way of Cayuga Bridge, and arrived on the 4th of July, while the first celebration of that anniversary was being held in the then infant village of Ovid, where the frame of the first court-house had just been raised. A few days thereafter, Abraham, with his father, went to where the city of Rochester now stands, where there was then but one house. They forded the river above the falls, stayed at night at Hanford's Landing, some three miles below, where there was a tavern. After proceeding some ten miles farther west, they were com- pelled to turn back for want of provisiona. They returned to the town of Ovid; the father bought a farm on Lots 28 and 18, where they settled. The elder Van Doren died in 1813; his wife surviving till April 22, 1849, when she died, aged eighty-one years and six months.
The son, Abraham Van Doren, learned the carpenter's trade, at which he worked a few years; served on the Canada frontier in the war of 1812, is one of the two surviving pensioners of that war in the town; married Jane Van Nest in 1821, and built his house on Lot 18, where he has ever
since resided, working his ancestral farm, and another, purchased by him, adjacent. He shot a deer on Lot 19, in Ovid, in 1814, and a wild goose on the wing, in the State of Illinois, in 1874, when in his eightieth year, both with the same musket which his father carried in the Revolutionary war. During his seventy years' residence in the town he has held various town offices, and now, in his eighty-second year, is residing with his daughter and her husband, Lewis BoDine, on the same farm and near where he settled with his father in 1806, still enjoying a comfortable degree of health and strength.
Jane Van Nest, his wife, was born near Somerville, Somerset County, New Jersey, January 14, 1804. She was a daughter of Peter and Phebe Van Nest; was one of a family of six children, two brothers and four sisters. One of her sisters, Catharine Van Nest Talmage, was the mother of Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage. Her father dying in 1813, and her mother several years thercafter having married Captain Joseph Stull, of Ovid, she removed to that town, and was married to Abraham Van Doren in 1821
They have had four children: Ann, now wife of Lewis BoDine, born June 7, 1822; Abraham V. N. Van Doren, born April 13, 1828; Mary Eleanor, afterwards wife of Edward Maxwell, of Beardstown, Illinois, born March 25, 1834 (now deceased); and Gustavus A. Van Doren, born February 27, 1844.
She died April 15, 1870, loved and lamented by her family and the entire neighborhood, with whom she was a general favorite. When the Angel of Life came to their homes, there she had been to welcome the little stranger; and there she had ministered when the Angel of Death was taking their loved ones. None went hungry away from her door, no one in trouble or suffering ever failed to receive the kindly counsel, the aid, and sympathy of "Aunt Jane," as they all loved to call her.
