The Mallory stone mill, which still stands as one of the prominent landmarks, was begun by Meridith Mallory, of Yates County, in 1835, and finished in 1836. About $30,000 were invested in the engineering and construction of the mill, which were entirely sunk, as the enterprise never paid a eent on a hundred dollars. The mill is four stories in height and was supplied with three overshot wheels, one above another; the water, which had an im- mense fall, was brought from the "Gulf Stream," in a eanal or race dug along the side-hill. John Capell, of Penn Yan, was the master millwright, and Mr. Van Autrick, a son-in- law of Mr. Mallory, the engineer. The mill was a first- class merchant- and custom-mill, with four run of stones, and finished in splendid order. Had the expectations of Mr. Mallory been realized, it no doubt would have been a fine property. Mr. Mallory came to reside here, and was elected justice of the peace in 1838. Previous to coming here he had been elected member of Congress in Yates County.

The first school-house in the village was built in 1827. It stood on the site of the present St. James ( Episcopal) Church. The present large stone building was erceted for an academy in 1858. J. W. MeLaury was principal, and had the charge of the school about six years, while it con- tinued an academy. He was an excellent teacher, and left the impress of his influence and character upon the com- munity. He removed to the West, and is now a resident of the State of Iowa.

The present public school employs three teachers,-four during the winter season. An effort is being made to change it into a union free school, under the manage- ment of a board of education, which will soon be success- fully accomplished.

Steamboats make regular daily trips between Hammonds- port, Penn Yan, and all intermediate points. During the spring and summer of 1878, a small steamer has also made trips to Branehport and other landings along the lake. Hammondsport is also connected with Bath by a narrow- gauge railroad, which was commenced in 1872 and opened

in 1874. The town of Urbana was bonded for $40,000, and the corporation of Bath for $30,000, to build the road, which was expended in grading and laying the ties. It was then leased to Capt. Allen Wood, who ironed it, furnished the rolling-stock, and now operates the road as lessee of the company.

PHYSICIANS.

Dr. Ezekiel B. Pulling was one of the early physicians of Hammondsport, and a man of considerable eminence in his profession. He died at Bath from the effects of poison received in making a post-mortem examination. Another of the early physicians was Dr. Amasa Church.

The present physicians are Dr. C. E. Campbell, Dr. Moses T. Babcock, and Dr. Oliver 11. Babcock.

Three lawyers reside and practice in the village, viz., Benj. Bennitt, Benj. F. Drew, and Monroe Wheeler, Esqs.

INCORPORATION AND OFFICERS.

On the 16th of June, 1856, an order was entered in the Court of Sessions of Steuben County, incorporating the village of Hammondsport under the general law of the State. The petitioners were Delos Rose, S. B. Fairchild, William Hastings, S. Waterous, Henry Benham. and Ben- jamin Bennitt. The corporate limits of the village, as defined in the articles, were as follows: " Beginning at the northeast corner of lot number ten in the twelfth range of lots in township number five in the second range of town- ships; thence south four and a half degrees west twenty chains and sixty-four links to the centre of the Inlet Bridge, on the road crossing the valley ; thence north eighty-four and a half degrees west nine chains and fifty links to O. Shepherd's line; thence north six degrees west fourteen chains ; thence north eighty-five and one-half de- grees west nineteen chains, hitting the south end of O.

NEW CHARTER.

At a special election, held on the 24th day of January, 1871, it was determined, by vote, to reincorporate the village under the general law passed April 20, 1870. Thirty-six votes were cast, 33 of which were in favor of the change, and the new charter was accordingly adopted. The officers elected March 21, 1871, were, Absalom Hadden, President; George W. Nichols, Allen Wood, and Walter L. Moore, Trustees; Benjamin F. Drew was chosen Treasurer; and George C. Wise, Collector. At the first meeting of the board, William W. Wright was chosen Clerk ; David Burch, Police Constable ; and J. B. Van Auken, Chief Engineer of the Fire Department. The president was authorized to procure a seal and an order-book for the village, and the regular meetings were appointed for Tuesday evening of cach week. At the following meeting, March 28, 1871, David Costerline was appointed Street Commissioner.

The following have been chosen presidents of the village under the new charter: Absalom Hadden, 1872; Grattan H. Wheeler, 1873; B. R. Strecty, 1874; S. S. Fairchild, 1875; O. Il. Babcock, 1876; Grattan 11. Wheeler, Jr., 1877; Trevor Moore, 1878.

The following have served as trustees of the village for the years named : George W. Nichols, Allen Wood, Wal- ter L. Moore, 1871 ; Grattan HI. Wheeler, Allen Wood, George W. Nichols, 1872; S. S. Fairchild, G. E. Rosen- krans, Allen Wood, 1873 ; Robert G. Snow, John W. Davis, David Costerline, 1874 ; Jules Masson, Patrick York, David Costerline, 1875 ; Jacob Frey, Jules Masson, Patrick York, 1876; Patrick York, John R. Brown, Jacob Frey, 1877; George E. Rosenkrans, John R. Brown, Patrick York, 1878.

The treasurers under the new charter have been Ben- jamin F. Drew, 1871-76; James S. Thorp, 1876; Heury C. Ainsworth, 1877 and 1878.

The collectors under the new charter have been George C. Wise, 1871 ; Addison Damoth, 1872; Francis M. Covert, 1873-75 ; John Wager, 1875; Jabez C. Mills, 1876; Daniel Damoth, 1877 and 1878.

Hobart J. Moore has been regularly appointed corpora- tion elerk, and has served in that capacity sinee 1872.

In April, 1871, the fire department was reorganized un- der Jacob B. Van Auken as Chief Engineer, Almon II. Eggleston, First Assistant, and Wm. Benner, Second As- sistant ; 25 members were added to the company, and the board made an appropriation for the repairs of the en- gine and engine-house. Improvements have gone steadily on ; the creek, known as the Gulf Stream, has been sub-

stantially walled at considerable expense, and sidewalks laid and kept in good repair in every part of the village. It would be difficult to find a village where the effects of good corporation regulations and careful enterprise on the part of the board are more apparent than in Hammondsport.

CHURCHES.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, HAMMONDSPORT.

The Presbyterian Church of Hammondsport was organ- ized Sept. 14, 1831. A committee of the Presbytery of Bath, consisting of Rev. Isaac W. Platt, Rev. S. White, Mr. Elam Bridges, and Mr. Bauchman, the two latter rul- ing elders, met at Hammondsport for the purpose of or- ganizing a Presbyterian Church, at which time the follow- ing persons, members of different Presbyterian Churches, presented letters of dismission from their respective churches, namely : Samuel A. Hastings, Lucinda Daniels, Eliza C. Flagler, Augustus Moody, Thomas Judd, Thomas White, and Stephen K. Tourtellot, whereupon the committee or- ganized them into a Presbyterian Church. The church then elected Samuel A. Hastings a ruling elder, and he was set apart to his offiec in the usual way, the exercises being concluded with prayer.

Judge Hammond gave the lot upon which Wm. Hastings built the first house of worship, and gave it to the society. This is the house now occupied as the Catholic church.

Hammondsport then gave promise of becoming a large place, a centre of business enterprise and trade, being largely patronized by the surrounding country and towns. Many people moved in during that year. It was a year of great revivals in many places, and also in this place. Mect- ings were held by Rev. Mr. Finney with great success.

Rev. Mr. Flagler was the first pastor of this church, remaining one year and a half, during which time 43 were added. Arrangements were made for holding a series of meetings, but failing to do so they were afterwards con- ducted by Rev. Mr. Ordway aud Rev. Mr. Rudd, of Pratts- burgh. These meetings resulted in many conversions.

The second pastor was Rev. Mr. Adams, who remained a year and nine months ; 24 were added during his minis- try. That year, especially the fall of 1834, was a sad time for Hammoudsport. A terrible fever prevailed, which was also prevalent in many other places that scason, causing many deaths. So general and so fatal was this fever that many became disheartened, and quite a number removed from the place.

Rev. Mr. Delevan was the third pastor. He was a young man just entered upon the ministry ; was married while here, and his wife died here. Ile stayed with the church three-fourths of a year, during which time 40 were added.

The fourth pastor was Rev. R. E. Wilson, whose minis- terial labors were also begun here, and for fourteen years he continued the faithful shepherd of his flock, " leading them into green pastures and beside the still waters." During his ministry 133 were added. During the winter and spring of 1843 there was an interesting series of meet- ings, Mr. Wilson being assisted by Rev. Mr. Miner, of Penn Yan.

The present house of worship was dedicated in 1847. The society purchased the parsonage in 1849. In the win-

416

ter and spring of that year there was a series of revivals, in which Mr. Wilson was assisted by Rev. Mr. Hawley, of Penn Yan.

The fifth pastor, Rev. S. Mills Day, was a young man of much talent and ability, just from the seminary. He remained five years, and received 44 members into the church. Then came Rev. S. Vorhis, who was the sixth pastor of the church. Ile held protracted meetings in the winter and spring, resulting in quite an extensive revival. As the fruit of his labors 42 were added. Mr. Vorhis was radical in politics as in religion, and it was during his ministry here that the late war was beguu and ended. The church was united in sustaining him ; its doors were thrown open for war-meetings, and whatever pertained to the interest of our soldiers and the Union. Four young men of this society were sacrifieed upon the altar of our country,-Willie Vorhis, the eldest son of the pastor, whom many remember as a young man of great promise ; Solomon Clark, son of Matthias Clark, a former elder of the church ; George K. Benham, and Daniel S. Layton. The first died in Libby prison, Richmond; the others were killed upon the field of battle.

Rev. O. H. Seymour was the seventh pastor. Forty- eight were added under his ministry,-32 at one time,- mostly young people, who were converted during the re- vival in the winter of 1866. Rev. D. Chichester succeeded him, and remained over six years. Eighteen were added during his ministry, which was suddenly terminated by death, in January, 1876. Ile was a man to whose sterling worth and genial social qualities the church and the county will ever delight to bear testimony. He had arranged, previous to his death, for a series of meetings to be held during the " week of prayer," which were afterwards ably conducted by Rev. Mitchell, of Lakeville, with a deep religious im- pression upon the community.

After the death of Mr. Chichester, the church was with- out a settled pastor for some time, although never without church services. A part of the time the church was ably supplied by Rev. Mr. Townsend, of Attiea, N. Y.

Rev. B. Bosworth commenced preaching for the church on the first Sunday in November, 1876, as a stated supply, and was subsequently ehoseu pastor, in which capacity he still officiates.

The elders of the church have been Samuel A. Hastings, Dr. N. Stebbins, William Brewster, Elijah Judd, Matthias Clark (deceased), Allen Dunning (deceased), Aaron Rosen- krans, Solomon Clark, L. D. Hastings.

The Sabbath-school was organized five years before the formation of the church, exercises being held in the old school-house. It has ever since been maintained with interest. The early members are now widely scattered,- some among the living, others among the dead. China holds the dust of one young man, Frederick Brewster, who went from this Sabbath-school, and died upon the mission- ary field. To many it is still a place of sacred memories, around which eluster the familiar faces of teacher, pastor; classmate, friend,-a dear remembered group, now widely separated by distance, perchanee by death.

This church was early in unison with the temperance movement, and was instrumental in bringing about a better

state of things in regard to the drinking and sale of in- toxicating liquors in this village, resulting in the total abolishment of it from the dry-goods stores, in all of which it was previously sold the same as any other article of mer- chandise.

ST. JAMES' CHURCH.

St. James' Church, Hammondsport, was organized June 15, 1829, by Rev. William W. Bostwick. The following were the first officers certified to in the instrument of incor- poration : Henry A. Townsend and John Powers, Wardens ; Lazarus Hammond, Cornelius Younglove, Ezekiel B. Pull- ing, Israel R. Wood, John Mitchell, Jr., and Zelotes Knapp, Vestrymen. Said certificate was signed and sealed in the presence of Mrs. Elizabeth II. Townsend and Charles N. Tuttle, by Rev. William W. Bostwick, John Powers, and II. A. Townsend.

During Mr. Bostwiek's rectorship, in 1832-33, the first church edifice-which is still standing, although removed to give place to the new one-was ereeted, and was eon- secrated by Bishop Onderdonk, Aug. 27, 1833. At this time 25 communicants were reported. The lot on which the old church stood, and where the new church now stands, was given by Messrs. Germain and Whiting, and deeded by them Sept. 24, 1836. The building committee of the old church were Lazarus Hammond, Ira G. Smith, and John J. Poppino. Nathan Taylor was the builder, and the cost was $1600. Rev. Mr. Bostwick retained the rectorship some fourteen years, residing at Hammondsport all the time. Up to 1833, when the church was conse- erated, his services were given to several places ; but from 1833 to 1840 his time was divided equally between Bath and Hammoudsport. Then for two years he gave part of his time to Wayne and IFornellsville instead of Bath. In 1842 he resigned his rectorship and soon weut West, where he died Oct. 5, 1845, in the forty-ninth year of his age and the twenty-first of his ministry.

In the spring of 1835 a bell was procured for the old church, of Lewis Aspinwall, of Albany, N. Y. It cost $119, and is now used temporarily in the new church. An organ was also procured of Thomas Wagstaff, in 1846, costing $300.

After Mr. Bostwiek, Rev. Philemon Coe officiated awhile in 1842-43. Then for some six years Rev. Erastus Spald- ing had charge of the parish, up to 1849. For some time in 1849-1850, Rev. Loren Russ was minister in charge. The next reetor was Rev. Charles Woodward, who remained from November, 1850, to some time in 1852. After Mr. Woodward, Rev. (now Dr.) Parke officiated from 1853 to 1855. All those following Mr. Bostwick held short rector- ships. Then came Rev. Daniel E. Trowbridge, who was rector fifteen years. After 1870, when Mr. Trowbridge resigned, Rev. James Stoddard was in charge about three years. Then, with some vacancies, Rev. Mr. Cushing officiated about one year, and was succeeded by the present rector, Rev. 11. V. Gardner, who entered upon his duties July 1, 1875.

The corner-stone of the new church was laid by Bishop Coxe, April 18, 1876. It was consecrated by the same June 12, 1877. The new church, valued at $10,000 and complete in all its appointments, is of a style and workman-

ship that will bear examination. The windows, by Mr. Samuel West, of Boston, are valued at $1000, and the organ, by Steer & Turner, of Westfield, Mass., at $1200. Washington Irving Tillotson, of Oneida, N. Y., was the architect, and Jacob Allington, of Peun Yan, the builder. The building committee was Rev. IT. V. Gardner, John W. Davis, Deloss Rose, T. M. Younglove, D. Bauder, and Charles L. Bailey.

The parish has a rectory and glebe valued at $3000. The present number of families is about 60, communicants 100, and the parish is in a flourishing condition.
