here he passed his life. The first deacon of the first church in the town, his life honored his position. From this point the eye can trace the valleys of the Canisteo, the Tioga, and the Cowanesque Rivers; and away to the west, beyond Woodhull, the blue hills of Jasper still covered with the primeval forest. Capt. Joseph Manley, whose place is oc- cupied by his descendants, M. M. and O. C. Manley, was one of the earlier settlers. Zelos Toles, father of Martin Toles and Mrs. Aaron Orr, came shortly after Baxter, and settled in the northeast part of the town, being, with the Orrs, the first in that direction.


Many of the early settlers came from Chenango County, making a successful journey if they came through with their teams-usually oxen-in a week, and then, perhaps, · having to wait a few days for the river to fall before a crossing could be effected at Addison. Another day of driving, lifting, loading, and unloading would be consumed in getting back upon the hill, where the tired travelers found rest in the half-finished cabin, over which the tall pines and hemlocks elosed, nearly shutting out the sunlight. The teams were turned loose to shift for themselves.


First after the arrival came the work of building the huge open fireplace, boring holes in the logs for pins upon which were placed shelves, chiuking between the logs with blocks left from the shingles of the roof, and " daubing" with mud, tracking and spattering over house and goods, but making the whole warm and comfortable for winter. When things were put to rights the door had to be hung upon its lang wooden hinges and the flaxen lateh-string poked through a gimlet-hole to the outside. It was not uneommon for these labors to be interrupted by the child- ren discovering a deer at the spring near by, when the rifle would be taken from its place over the fireplace, and soon after the monarch of the forest would be hanging from a rafter in the farther end of the cabin, his huge antlers the wonder of the children, who a few years after were skilled in the arts of' wooderaft, bringing down the squirrel with unerring aim.


The whole of the timber is gone except a few straggling hemlocks, only the Parsels mill remaining in the town, working upon the down timber and hemlocks which would have been scorned by the lumbermen of ten years ago. The open flat between the Tuscarora and the mouth of Mind Creek is occupied by a large steam-tannery.


The woolen-factory-still patronized by those who spin their own yarns-is located a short distance above the old Wombough homestead, in the Tuscarora Valley. This factory was built by William Wombough, Jr., -the present owner and occupant of the old place,-in 1844, at an ex- pense of $14,000, and worked 250 spindles. This factory furnished employment for upwards of 30 operatives for twenty years, and was an important industry in its best days,-people coming from Corning, Campbell, Caton, and the surrounding towns south and west, and from Northern Pennsylvania, to get carding and eloth-dressing done, as well as to dispose of their wool for " full-cloth" with which to make their winter's clothing. This factory is still doing a large amount of work, being extensively patronized by the surrounding wool-growers; but with the clearing of the land up the creek, the country became more generally

drained, and the supply of water-power failed except for a few months during each year.


Mr. Wombough has also built five saw-mills, three of them being in Tuscarora. There is no finer view to be had in the valley than that of Addison as seen from this point. Standing at the old Wombough homestead and looking north, the most prominent objeet which presents itself to the vision across the mile of perfectly-level farm- land is the high round point of the hill, through which the Canisteo River breaks as it enters the valley above the village of Addison. To the right of this bluff the village is plainly visible, with its white walls and tall steeples, behind which rises the sloping side of a hill covered with broken patches of young timber and green meadows. A steep point of woods near by, on the right, shuts off the view of the lower part of the village down the river. To the left of the Tuscorara Valley rise cultivated fields, sloping gently back from the valley till lost to view at a distance of half a mile from the lower level.


The old plank-road between Addison and Elkland, which runs through this valley, was opened in 1851, and aban- doned in September, 1878, but a regular daily stage still runs over the route through the town, a line branching off at Rowley's for Woodhull. South Addison, whose post- office is at Rowley's, is two miles north, on the one shelv- ing street between Wombough's and Rowley's, and contains two stores, a hotel, and some twenty dwellings. Near by, on the flat, is an old cemetery containing the remains of a few of the carly dead of the valley, marked by stones taken from the hill-side, and rudely lettered.


ORGANIZATION.


On the 13th of December, 1859, Mr. Williams pre- sented a bill to the Board of Supervisors for the erection of the town of Arville, from that part of the town of Addison lying south of a line running east from the southeast corner of the town of Rathbone, to the east line of the town of Addison. The name Arville was changed for that of Tuscarora, the name of the adopted tribe of the Five Nations, and the new town was formed, the first town-meeting being held at the house of Oliver Moore, Feb. 14, 1860, Joseph Manley, Stephen Coon, and Charles W. Robinson being the inspectors of election. The first offi- cers of Tuscarora were Jesse W. Rowley, Supervisor ; George W. Webb, Town Clerk ; Philip W. Perkins, Com- missioner of Highways; Lorenzo Wettenhall, Joseph Oak- den, Lansing Hand, Assessors ; Archibald Manley, Albert W. Wells, Charles Hill, Inspectors of Election ; Myron M. Manley, Jaines Lemunyan, Charles W. Robinson, Justices of the Peace; G. H. Freeman, Collector; Cicero Wetten- hall, Amos Tobias, and George Thomas, Constables.

CHURCHIES.


THE FIRST METHODIST CHURCHI


of Addison was formed in Tuscarora before it became a separate town. As early as 1829 Elder Orcutt preached in the house of Ambrose Owen, which was the first house between Daniel Strait's and Addison, on the east road, two miles and a half north of Strait's, where Thomas Smith afterwards lived. Although meetings were held much earlier, it was not until 1833 that a class was formed con- sisting of seven members, among whom were Richard Finch and wife, Seth Wixon and wife, Stephen Coon and wife, and William Wixon, who was made class-leader. Rev. Asa Smith was pastor at that time. In 1831, a lot of 50 acres of Pulteney land was set aside for the benefit of the society, Justus Wright, Jared Ketchum, and Jacob Cole, Jr., being made trustees. Rev. Thomas Wheat preached in 1832, in the old log school-house near where the present church stands, on Mine Creek. Meetings were held in the school-house for several years, Revs. Joseph Chapman, Mr. Kinney, Joseph Pearsall, and Mr. Bronson preaching. Rev. J. Landreth, an enthusiastic Irishman, is well remembered as having preached when meetings were held at the house of Solomon C. Smith, father of Joshua C. Smith, before the old church was built on East Hill.


George Cook and George Bonam built the first church in 1849. This church has since been abandoned for a new one at Addison Hill, which was dedicated Oct. 15, 1874. The trustees were J. C. Smith, Edson Wright, and Dennis Beers. Revs. David Smith, Mr. Newcomb, G. H. Cole, J. C. Stebbins, - Gould, George Sherer, and William M. Bartle have since been pastors. The present officers are Rev. O. B. Weaver, Pastor ; Spencer Mather, Isaac Wright, John Orr, Sr., and George Wettenhall, Class- Leaders in different parts of the town; John Street, Grant

THE FIRST FREE-COMMUNION BAPTIST CHURCH OF ADDISON.


This church was constituted July 5, 1829, in what is now the southeastern part of Tuscarora, with 19 members, Rev. Aaron Baxter, who had preached to them since 1825, being the first elder of the new church.


The first deacons were Samuel Mack and Migeman Taft ;


Clerk, Enoch Mack. Among the first members were George and Elizabeth Manly, James Sprague, Eliba and Abigail Albee, Jonas Schoonover, David Hart, William, Zadoc, Lydia, and Polly Mack, Abigail Baxter, Eunice Hackett, Hannah Carr, and John Webster. The first meetings were held in the house of Archibald Manly. In 1830, 28 names were added to the list, of whom 23 were added by baptism, among whom were Simeon Freeman, Daniel Schoonover, and Almira Albee as the result of a revival, during which Elder Baxter was assisted by Rev. Hiram Bacon. These were all baptized in the Cowanesque River, at Nelson, or " Beecher's Island," Pa., in the early part of winter, on a very cold day, ice having already formed on the river. This revival occasioned an unusual amount of excitement among all classes, and is still remem- bered as " the great reformation."


In 1831 meetings were held in the school-house near Alfred Nichols'. In 1834, Simeon Freeman was chosen deacon, which position he held until his death, which oc- curred in 1871, at the age of sixty-three years. Adron Smith, Tubal Baxter, and Archibald Manley were licensed to exhort, and the same year Cyrus Sprague was chosen deacon. A committee was also formed in 1834, to meet as representatives of this society at the Free Baptist Church quarterly meeting, for the purpose of uniting with them. This committee was composed of Deacon Simeon Freeman and Elder Dyer Woodworth. A union was effected, and the church became the First Free Baptist Church of Addi- son. In 1847 the society appointed Simeon Freeman, Seth Albee, and Daniel Strait, Trustees; and Daniel Albec, Clerk ; and a church building was immediately erected in the Nichols neighborhood, in the southern part of the town. Their pastor at the time of the change, Dyer Woodworth, also joined the new organization.


List of pastors : Revs. Samuel Dean, Dyer Woodworth, Simon T. Aldrich, John J. Allen, Benjamin F. Mack, Amos Wing, John W. Brown, B. F. Herrick, and Levi Kellogg, present pastor.


Present officers : George H. Freeman, Daniel Albee, John Wright, Deacons; G. H. Freeman, Clerk ; I. S. Albee, O. C. Manley, John Wright, Trustees ; A. M. Hathaway, Society Clerk. Present membership, 113. The church has been recently repaired at an expense of $1200, making it in reality a new church.
