Tunis Henion came from Bergen County, New Jersey, in 1796, and settled in the south part of the town, on Lot 38. He died at the age of eighty-seven, and his wife at eighty-four, leaving a family of nine children, six of whom are now living: Garrett, in Varick ; Tunis, in Waterloo; Henry, a Justice of the Peace in Seneca Falls; Peter, in Fayette; Ann, in Wyoming; and Sophronia C., in Michigan. Jesse Palmer also settled on this lot, on premises now owned hy Peter W. Dey. Gilbert Dey came from New Jersey, in an early day, and settled where he now resides.
BEARYTOWN NAMED.
Bearytown is a small village situated on the south border of the towa, and was named in honor of Heary Beary, an early settler. Charles H. Hoskias, aow engaged in the mercantile business at Seneca Falls, and the oldest merchant in the County, was an early merchant ia Bearytown.
CANOGA.
Canoga, "Sweet Water," is a pleasant village, situated in the eastern part of the town, near Cayuga Lake, and contains about two hundred inhabitants, two stores, two churches, a hotel, and post-office. Samuel Williams erected the first frame building in Canoga, used as a store and dwelling, and now occupied hy George B. Mathews. The first hotel was erected by Dr. Davis, and is now oecu- pied by George Pierson as a dwelling. Samuel and Joha Williams were the pioneer merchants at Canoga. Undoubtedly the first school-house in the town was situated on the farm now owned by Henry Hoster, and pioneer pedagogues were Moner, Baker, and Crosby.
Early magistrates were, Israel Catlin, Hugh McAllister, Martin Keadig, Benj. Ilendricks, and Benajah Boardman ; the latter was the first appointed in the town, in 1798. Among the first cases of mortality were those of Charles Conner and James Clark, both of whom were interred at the " Burg" cemetery.
Robert S. Rose was an early settler and extensive land-owner in the west part of the town, and served the County in the Legislature. The fine villas of William W. Stacy, Esq., and R. J. Swan, are located on a portion of the celebrated " Rose ETill" lands.
Mr. Halsey, father of Vineent M., Thomas, and Edwin, was an early settler, on Lot 24, on premises now owned by Vincent M. Halsey. On this lot, near the residence of Mr. Halsey, is located the neat Episcopal chapel called "Grace Church, Willowdale."
Other early settlers ia Fayette were Bryant, Hood, Boots, Bar, McGee, Gil- more, Jennings, Conklia, Harrison, Dennison, Deal, Lemoa, Honts, Spoon, Crull, Curl, Carnes, Huff, Amsbury, Bannister, Alexander, Petty, Hunter, Hull, Burt- less, Frazer, Craven, Hittle, Hill, Oeff, King, Trotter, Aber, Lamb, Silence, Plants, Bergstresser, Abbott, Morgan, and Carvin.
PIONEER MILLS.
One of the greatest inconveniences met by the early settlers was the want of mills for grinding grain. The first mill in New York, west of Seneca Lake, was built in Yates County by Jemima Wilkinson, the " Universal Friend," and from this County as well as many others, the inhabitants journeyed to this primitive establishment. Samuel Bear erected a mill at the Scauyes, or South Waterloo, in an early day, and the brothers Yost were the millwrights who superintended the construction of the building. "They applied themselves diligently upon the frame- work, that it might be covered early in the season. The posts and girths, the sills, and plates, in short, every piece, was accurately worked, and was ready to be framed, when it was discovered that all the force of neighborhood was inadequate to raise the first bent. Mr. Yost was in the constant habit of attending church at Geneva, and while in that place mentioned his dilemma to the officiating minister, who advised Mr. Yost to have boats prepared and in readiness at Geneva on the following Sunday. The day arrived, and, after the services were ended, the minister explained the case to his hearers, when a suggestion was made that every willing hand should at once be leat to a work of such necessity to the welfare of all. The proposition was adopted by acclamation, the boats were manned, and before dark- ness had shut out the day the last bent was raised, and the whole frame pinned together. Order, quietness, and propriety prevailed, and the citizens of Ontario returned to their homes conscious of doing good to their fellow-men, unconseious of error, and trusting that the motive and intention would be viewed with lenity, if not with entire approbation."

CHRIST CHURCH, BEARYTOWN.
At the close of the eighteenth century many Germans left the State of Penn- sylvania to seek new homes in Western New York. In their researches Seneca County was not overlooked. As their fathers had come from different States in Europe, so they came here from different States of the Union: Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware, etc. These Germana were the descendants from those fathers, who belonged to the Huguenots and to the Palatines, who had sought the deserts of the New World to have a place of security and freedom, and to be delivered from religious persecutions. The nineteenth century brought them here in large numbers, and, as they were a religious people, immediste steps were taken to secure the services of a minister. Rev. Lot Merkel, belonging to the Lutheran Church, was selected. He preached first in a small house, st a place known by the name of the " Burg," and also in the house of Henry Swiger. He preached to the Germans as early as December 26, 1809, and on that day called the congregation together at Hoster's school-house, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of choosing a site for the erection of s house of wor- ship. John Gamber was president of this meeting, and the Rev. Lot Merkel secretary. It was resolved that an acre of ground be purchased of Henry Singer, and a log church twenty-eight by twenty-two feet erected thereon. The first minister that served this church was Rev. Anthony Houze. His eall dates in the year 1803. He continued his ministry in Seneca County until 1813. A new church edifice was erected in 1823, and dedicated June 6, 1825.
April 22, 1821, the Rev. Diedrich Willers received a call from Christ Church, which he-accepted, and on the 22d of April, 1876, he celebrated his fifty-fifth anniversary, and is still preaching in Christ Church. He once preached for eight. German congregations, -Christ Church, Jerusalem, Seneca, Lyons, Dansville,. Scipio, Lansing, and Salmon Creek, being situated in five counties,-Seneca, . Wayne, Livingstone, Cayuga, and Tompkins. To preach the gospel to his con- gregations, he has traveled at least twice around the globe ; has baptized over one.

thousand children ; confirmed five hundred; married six hundred conples ; and has. administered the sacrament of the . Lord's Supper in . Christ Church one hundred and ten times. April 22, 1871, he celebrated his jubilee, preaching twice; once in the German and once in the English language.
BURGH CHURCH.
The Burgh Church of the _ angelical Association of the Central Pennsylvania Conference, Williamsport District, Pennsylvania, Seneca Station, Seneca County, New York, was organized in the year 1816 by. Rev. Jacob Kleinfelter, with the co-operation of that pious and noble man, Christian Wolf. . After. the zealous labors and untiring efforts of self-sacrificing. men of God for eighteen years, the number that desired to hear the word of life increased; hence it was deemed ex- pedient to erect a house of worship under the leadership of Rev. P. Wagner; P. E., and Rev. M. F. Maize. A building committee was selected and erected an edifice, which was dedicated to the Triune God A.D. 1835. The' trustees then elected were John Hoster, Sr., Henry Manger, Samuel Pontius, and Jacob Riegel.
The word of life was preached in its simplicity and purity, and many souls were brought to the knowledge of the truth as it is in Jesus .. Nearly all the old pioneers have passed from labor to reward, and few are left of the old. stock, but, like those old pioneers, they are of the right stamp. The church building has suffered twice by lightning, and as time passed on decay made its appearance, and in 1874, under the leadership of Rev. R. J. Derrick, it was decided to thoroughly remodel the old building in order to meet the necessity of the times. A. com- mittee of ladies, consisting of Miss Dibbie Hoster, Miss Sarah Pontius, Mrs. H. Reigel, Mrs. William Sheridan, and Mrs. M. Sheridan, was chosen to raise funds, and it is but justice to remark that they labored faithfully, and their efforts were crowned with success. The following were elected a building. committee : Henry Hoster, John Ritter, and Jacob Bachman; Rev. R. J. Derrick, Treasurer; and George Hoster, Secretary. Six feet was added to the height, and twelve feet to the length of the building, together with a belfry and spire. The church is furnished with a fine bell, donated by the celebrated bell manufacturers, Jolin A. Rumsey & Co., of Seneca Falls. In the addition to the church was built a fine vestibule, with two rooms for class-meetings, with a gallery over them capable of seating one hundred persons. . The seats in the audience-room are constructed of Indiana ash, ornamented with black walnut. The pulpit is of an. octagon shape, built of various kinds of wood of superior quality. . There are also two pedestals, one on either side of the pulpit, for supporting the lamps. In the rear of the pulpit is one of the finest specimeus of art of modern times, frescoed by the noted artist, Mr. J. Bowman, of Germany. The design is four pillars of Grecisn architecture. supporting a large dome, and over the arch of the entrance to the dome are two olive-branches proceeding from the Bible, which is over the keystone of the arch, where the words Biblia Sacra are written. The following are names of a few of those who have generously contributed to the remodeling and beautifying of this edifice :. Henry Hoster, John G. Hoster, Michael Hoster, Sr., William Reigle, Sr., Martin Allen, John J. Hoster, Joseph Kuney, William H. Wolf, John Ritter, John Ireland, Abraham Stahl, Rev. R. J .. Derrick, etc.
GRACE CHURCH, WILLOWDALE, WEST FAYETTE.
Any mention of the foundation of the Protestant Episcopal Church on the shores of Seneca Lake, in the towns of Varick and Fayette, would be incomplete without a tribute to the memory of Mr. David Reeder,-son of Dr. Henry Reeder, of Varick,- who, in the winter of 1859-60, commenced holding the services of the church in the school-house at Dey's Corners, in that town, and which, so far as is known, was the first effort made towards the establishment of the church in this particular locality of Seneca County. These services were continued by him whenever possible, until he entered the Theological Seminary of the Protestant Episcopal Church, in New York City, where he died April 2, 1866, from a fever contracted while reading prayers to the sick prisoners at Black well's. Island; only a few months before he would have been ordained. a deacon in the church of his birth. In memory of his worth and devotion, one of the missions of the church in New York City is known as the " David. Reeder Mission.". The Christian beauty of his life to all who knew him may well be summed up in the phrase, " He was a good man."
The building of the church under consideration is mainly due, under God, to the efforts of a young lady of Fayette, who a few years previously assembled such of the young people of the neighborhood as she could reach, for religious instruc- tion in the church catechism." From this grew an expression for the full services of the' church, and' on the first Sunday after Easter, April 20, 1873, the first service was held in's room of her father's house, to a few of the neighbors assem- bled. The congregation grew to such an extent that a church edifice was soon felt desirable and necessary, and subscriptions for that purpose were started with
such good effect that those having the matter in charge felt warranted in making .a beginning, and September 26, 1874, the corner-stone was laid by the Bishop of Central New York, with appropriate ceremonies. The building progressed through the following winter as rapidly as circumstances would admit, and on the 1st of April, 1875, being free from all debt, was consecrated by the same bishop, assisted by the neighboring clergy of Geneva and Waterloo, by the name of Grace Church. On the Sunday following the first service was held in the newly-conse- crated edifice, being the first Sunday after Easter, and, canonically, just the day on which, two years previously, the first service of the church had been held in the house referred to.
The church is of wood, twenty by thirty-six, built in the reduced Gothic style, open roof inside, roof-boards finished in oil, and rafters painted dark brown; and in all its appointments presents a very neat and ecclesiological appearance. It will seat comfortably about one hundred and twenty-five persons. The total cost was about fourteen hundred dollars. The architect was Mr. Philotus Gaylord, of Geneva, who liberally contributed the plan, and also much advice, work, and ma- terial in aid of the enterprise. The land on which it is erected was the donation of Mr. Vincent M. Halsey. Liberal offerings were also received from members of Trinity Church, Geheva ; St. Paul's, Waterloo; and Trinity, Seneca Falls.
. It is not yet organized into a separate parish, the title to the property being held by the trustees of the Parochial Fund of Central New York, trustees for the management of its local affairs being sppointed by the bishop, the first of whom were Vincent M. Halsey, Thomas Dock, and William W. Stacey. . Reg- ular services of the church are held every Sunday afternoon, followed by Sunday- school instruction. A mission from this churoh has also been commenced the past year, at Dey's Landing, in the town of Varick ; services being held on Sun- day mornings in the private school-house, on the farm of Mr. R. S. Wilcox, who cheerfully offered it for that purpose.
