VILLAGE OF JASPER.
The old business portion of Jasper, known as the Five Corners, was centered around Adam Brotzman's tavern, and had grown to contain besides the tavern a saw-mill, two stores, or places where goods were sold, and a post-office, the first in the town. William Gardner was postmaster. The post-office became an object of contention between the rival corners, and was changed to Marlatt's Corners, where John G. Marlatt became postmaster. Previous to this Harvey Phoenix came from Painted Post, bought five aeres of land, and opened the first store between Bath and Knox- ville, Pa., near Marlatt's In 1826, Edward Craig began clerking for Mr. Phoenix, and in 1834 bought him out, and moved the store to the old Craig farm at the Five Corners. Nelson Johnson went to Washington, and se- cured the appointment of Andrew Craig, Sr., postmaster, and the removal of the post-office to the new store. At this time there were only the Craig house, the store, and two other houses, -- one a log house near the ereck, where Andrew Simpson lived, and a little plank house where his son, Carter Simpson, sold candies and notions.
Nelson Johnson built the first steam flouring-mill, in 1848, and the only flouring-mill in the town.
The present village of Jasper contains 260 inhabitants, and is a place of some business importance. There are nine stores here, the proprietors of which are generally descendants of the first settlers. There are also the ordi- nary trades-shops, a saw-mill, two hotels, and three churches. A beautiful cemetery is located just above the village. The buildings are neat and modern in appearance. Mails are received daily by stage from Canisteo. A post-office has also been established at Talbott's Creek, under the name of North Jasper, and the West Jasper post-office closed.
The abandoned Five Corners is now a little eluster of . farm-houses surrounding a large hotel recently completed, on the site of the old Swan tavern, and just across the creek from the pioneer tavern of Abram Brotzman. The old cemetery at the Five Corners contains the remains of many of the old settlers of the town, among whom are those of Barnabas Kinney, David Cook, Stephen Towsley, Uri Merriam, and Mrs. Sally Kittle, the first child born in Jasper.
CHURCHES.
JASPER BAPTIST CHURCIL.
On the 9th of February, 1817, there assembled in what was then the town of Troupsburgh, Nathaniel Seelye, Bed-
ford George, Charles Card, William and John George, Rebecca Seelye, Lurena Herrington, and Phoebe Card ; Charles Card was appointed clerk. Agreeing upon artieles of faith, they united in forming the Troupsburgh Baptist Church. Such as had not been, were baptized. During the month of June, 1817, Rev. Samuel Bigelow baptized and received into the church 14 persons. At a meeting held at Charles Card's, July 12, 1817, which was presided over by Rev. Andrew Sherfarne, of the Massachusetts Mis- sionary Society, the name was changed to the Jasper Bap- tist Church. In 1823 the order of Freemasons became a source of much trouble in the church. The present house of worship in Jasper village was raised June 7, 1834, and occupied, as soon as inclosed, for meetings, but was not finished until 1840. The trustees were Ebenezer Spencer and H. C. Simpson. There have belonged to this society since its organization 275 members. In August, 1849, the membership was 67 ; July, 1856, it was 32.

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHI OF JASPER.
During the summer of 1825, Enoch Ordway organized the first Sunday-school in Jasper. This school met for two years in Mr. Ordway's house, then in a vacant building, and in 1828, in a log school-house on the present farm of S. T. Dennis. In 1828 a Sunday-school society was formed for the purpose of organizing Sunday-schools throughout the town. Oct. 29, 1829, the First Presbyterian Church of Jasper was formed with 25 members. Deacon Joshua Sargent, who has taught a class of men in this Sunday- school for forty-two years, was one of the first elders. Enoch Ordway was one of the first deacons. Mrs. Thomas Whiting and Mrs. S. Fry Dennis are the only original members of the church now living. Samuel Dennis and wife, Earl Stone and wife, Samuel Butler and wife, Joshua Sargent and wife, Jedediah Talbot, Cloe Lawson, Parmelia Whittemore, and Putnam Woodward were of the first members. Wm. H. Prentice and wife added their names two days afterwards. The first pastor was Rev. Mr. Pomeroy. In 1830 meetings were held at Adam Fail- ing's house, boards were brought in for seats. The women sat in the house, and the men on the piazza and the stumps about the yard, while the minister stood in the

door. The women came with sun-bonnets, while the little girls, clad in checked-tow frocks, wore white cotton handkerchiefs around their heads, and all carried their well-cleaned shoes in their hands until near the meet- ing. They generally brought their dinners, and attended the forenoon sermon and Sunday-school before dinner, and had another meeting after, when they dispersed for their homes, following paths through the woods, by marks cut upon the trees with an axe. This church received the 100- acre gospel lot from the Pulteneys, their organization being first in accordance with the incorporate law of the State.
The first church, 24 by 36 feet in size, was built on the State road, near Earl Stone's, by William H. Prentice, Earl Stone, and David Ward, committee, who commenced their work in 1844, and finished in 1846. Meetings were held in it while building. The first Sunday after its com- pletion it caught fire in the morning and was burned before service. The second building was immediately erected in the Hampshire settlement, near the Denin's place, and was dedicated in December, 1847, by Rev. G. T. Everest. Rev. G. T. Everest, Jonathan Whiting, Earl Stone, Thomas Whiting, and Sylvester Larson were trustees and builders. This building was abandoned on the completion of a larger church in Jasper village, in 1872, at a cost of $6000, exclusive of the site, which was donated by W. E. Craig. The church was dedicated Feb. 15, 1872, by Rev. WV. A. Miles. The trustees were G. D. Woodward, S. F. Dennis, O. M. Whiting.
Pastors : 1829, Rev. David Higgins; 1830, Rev. Mr. Pomeroy ; 1835, Orrin Johnson ; 1837-38, Robert IIub- bard; 1839-42, Noah Cressey ; 1843-44, T. W. Duncan ; 1847-48, G. T. Everest; 1852, Geo. Spaulding; 1854, Harvey Hyde; 1856-58, Geo. Van Deurs; 1858-67, S. A. Rawson ; 1868, Alexander Guliek ; 1869-73, Samuel A. Rawson ; 1874-75, John Beecher; 1876, J. H. Brown ; 1877-78, Arthur Brucu, present pastor.
Officers : Joshua Sargent, Jonathan R. Prentice, J. L. Ordway, J. Sumner Sargent, Deacons ; Samuel Dennis, Clerk ; Asa Spencer, Burnham Sargent, O. M. Whiting, Trustees. Two members of this church are now laboring as foreign missionaries : Rev. Joseph Whiting, in China, and Miss Olive Whiting, in Japan.
THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF JASPER.
The first meetings of this society, held in the town of Jasper, were under the auspices of Mrs. S. A. Grinolds and Mrs. Smith, in 1818, who are said to have been the only Methodists in the town at that date. Rev. - Buel was the first preacher. As a result of his labors there was a revival, and a class was formed under his preaching, of which Uzal MeMinds was made elass-leader. Mrs. McMinds, Louis Hayes and wife, Samuel Cady, who became a local preacher ; Mrs. Cady, IIollis Cady and wife, Jonathan Cady and wife, Hon. Samuel Griggs, afterwards of Troups- burgh, and his wife, a Mr. Marlatt and wife, and some others, united in forming the first class. Meetings were held in the school-house at Marlatt's Corners, and as late as 1834 were held at the present village, and at the old corners below, in the school-houses, until the erection of the present church. Revs. James Bronson, - Magee, -
Peck, Mieah Sager, and Asa Oreutt were early preachers, traveling a long circuit and meeting their appointments once in four weeks. Rev. Mr. Atchison, who preached here in 1830, is well remembered as a man of peculiarly regular habits, who allowed nothing to interfere with his fixed hours for eating, sleep, or study, no matter what the surroundings might be.
Nicholas Prutsman and Miles Kinney were trustees build- ing the church, which was repaired, and a large basement constructed beneath. The church is at present a fine build- ing, standing upon a hill-side street overlooking the village and the valley to the north. The bloek upon which it stands belongs to the society, and contains also a fine par- sonage. During the pastorate of Rev. G. W. Coolbaugh, a splendid new bell, weighing over 2000 pounds, was pur- chased, and on New Year's day, 1879, it first rang, in proe- lamation of the advent of a Happy New Year. This bell is toned to the key of G, and wears the inscription, "Jasper Methodist Episcopal Church, Rev. G. J. Du Bois, 1878." The total cost of the church has been $7000. The rededica- tion, which occurred after the repairs, took place in 1871, Rev. B. I. Ives preaching the dedicatory sermon. During the pastorate of Rev. G. J. Du Bois, in 1856, Rev. Michael Coyle, then a school-teacher at Troupsburgh, was converted. He is now a prominent member of the Central New York Methodist Episcopal Conference. At that time there were upwards of 150 persons added to the church.
The following pastors have officiated at this charge, and preached before its organization : 1830-35, Revs. Mr. Achison, - Anderson, - Ashworth; 1836, I. J. B. Mckinney ; 1837, Waller and St. John ; 1838-53, Luther Northway, M. Rogers, - Huntley, C. Gould, M. H. Davis ; 1854-55, C. J. Bradbury ; 1856, G. J. Du Bois ; 1857, Chandler Wheeler, D. Rittenhouse ; 1858, Carlos Gould; 1859, C. J. Bradbury; 1860-61, Merritt M. Davis ; 1864, J. Powell ; 1865-66, J. J. Tur- ton; 1867-68, L. T. Hawkins; 1869, C. Dillenbeck ; 1870-72, Franeis M. Smith; 1873-75, C. G. Curtis ; 1876-77, J. R. Catlin ; 1878-79, G. J. Du Bois.
The present officers of the society are Milton Timerman, Class-Leader ; Edwin Whiting, Recording Steward; C. B. Hilburn, J. M. Taft, Robert Hilburn, Abram Walrath, De Witt C. Amey, Stewards; Jonathan Whiting, Andrew Savage, John N. Duncle, R. Johnson, Trustees. The present membership is 190. It is impossible to obtain a full history of this church, as all their old books of record have been destroyed.
WESLEYAN METHODIST CHURCHI.
The First Wesleyan Methodist Church of Jasper was organized in March, 1871, at the " Gully school-house," in the west part of the town, under the preaching of Rev. Mr. Sinsabaugh. Rev. P. D. Rathbone had preached there a short time previous. The first members were Geo. W. Sibley and wife, Thurlow Woodward and wife, William Drake and wife, Joseph Banks aud wife. Geo. Sibley, who afterwards became a minister, was made class-leader, and Thurlow Woodward, elerk. A building was immediately commeneed under the supervision of Geo. W. Sibley, Martin Campbell, and Thomas Woodward, trustees, and was dedi-

DR. SOLOMON DECK was born in the town of Minden, Montgomery Co., N. Y., Dec. 31, 1816.
His father, John Deck, was also a native of that county, was a wagon-maker by trade and carried on farming ; was married to Elizabeth Bauter, of which union were born three children, Urial, Nancy, and John. His wife died, and for his second wife he married Catharine Failing. Their children are Solomon S., Daniel, Betsey, and Mar- garet.
His parents removed and settled in Jasper, then called Troupsburgh, in 1822, then an almost entire wilderness, and a few scattered inhabitants. His father purchased three hundred and fifty acres of land, upon which he settled, and cleared some seventy-five acres prior to his death, March, 1843. His wife survived him several years, and dicd in April, 1861.
Dr. Deck started for himself in life upon reaching his majority, received fair opportunities for an education dur- ing his minority, and was a teacher for several terms. In 1837 he began the study of medicine with Dr. Jones, of Bath, and was afterwards a student with Dr. Leaver, of Bath. He attended medical lectures at Castleton (Vt.) Medical College, from which he was graduated M.D. in 1841, and the same year settled at Jasper in the practice of his profession, where he has continually resided since.
For the first twelve years he traversed this country, attending to his calls on horseback, and in no case during his active life did he ever make a distinction with the rich or poor, but gave his services as freely when he did not ex- pect remuneration as when he would receive a merited fee. For many years Dr. Deck's ride extended distances of twenty-five miles around, and night and day he was found in the saddle, often denying himself of the rest and sleep which his mind and body demanded. Many incidents
worthy of mention connected with his experience, depicting the suffering of patients and the wants of the needy, might be written, in which his sympathy has shown his promi- nent characteristic.
Dr. Deck has not only been first in his profession, and ranked among the leading physicians of the county in point of skill and medical knowledge, but as a citizen has ever been interested in all matters of a local interest.
Feb. 23, 1843, he married Franees C., daughter of Joseph Wheeler, of Kanona. Her father was one of the first settlers of that part of the county, was a farmer, and kept public-house. He died in 1860, aged sixty-one. Her mother, Sarah Kennedy, was daughter of Colonel Henry Kennedy, who was the first settler of Kanona. She died Aug. 13, 1878, aged eighty. Mrs. Deck was born Dec. 22, 1822.
Dr. Deck was formerly a member of the Whig party, and is now a Republican ; has never been active in politics, but has given his whole attention to the practice of his profession. He was selected under the old law as school inspector, and subsequently was school superintendent of the town for two years.
They have only one daughter, Sarah P., wife of Allen A. Van Orsdale, who for one term was clerk of Stenben County, and for several years has officiated as justice of the peace for the town of Jasper. Failing health some ten years ago caused Dr. Deck to partially relinquish his practice, since which time he has only attended calls at home and occasionally made visits at short distances, giving counsel when called upon. He started in life without pecuniary assistance ; but with that self-reliance and resolu- tion characteristic of him, and a good executive ability, he has secured a fair competence, and is ranked among the meu of the county who carved out their own fortune.
