Building a log cabin 16 feet in length, and flooring it with two lengths of rough puncheons split from a pine near by, Mr. Perry worked through the first year surrounded by difficulties. A friend stopping with him, late in the fall, went out in the night to shoot a bear, and killed one of his cows. The other one soon became injured in the woods, and had to be killed. In the depth of winter, during a terrific snow-storm, while his neighbor, Mrs. Hedges, was awaiting her husband's return from the mill, a large maple- trec he was chopping near the house fell erosswise of the kerf, and striking upon his house, broke in the entire roof, throwing the debris upon the women and children, and de- molishing his winter's supply of provisions which were stored in the loft. In their haste to escape, the two choppers fell over each other beside the stump, and barely escaped being buried beneath the huge trunk. Happily no one was in- jured. Moving his family to neighbor Hedges', he found employment for the winter in rebuilding and preparing for the coming work of spring.

There were then but the families of Samuel Smith, Mar- tin Harding, and Henry Harding, a mile west; and no other family between the Canisteo and Woodhull villages in the north part of the town.

As early as 1825, Andrew Colgrove bought and made shingles to run down the river, making them on his land and drawing them north to the South branch, and thence down the Tuscarora to Addison. This was the only lum- bering done previously to 1833, sawed boards being drawn from the Cowanesque Valley at that late date. Immense quantities of good timber were burned while clearing.

Woodhull did not become a business centre until Joseph Tubbs, who kept the first tavern a mile up the point at the old cross-roads, moved down to the present locality in 1833, and Sylvester Tousey, John Stone, and Calvin Searle opened the first store in the town, when it began to assume some importance to the surrounding country. In 1835 a blacksmith-shop was opened, and Ichabod C. Leach built and opened the first permanent store; S. V. Lattimer, Col. Jeffrey Smith, and his brother, Alfred Smith, being the principal movers in developing the resources of the town.

In 1844 a foundry for the casting of farming implements was established by Warner & Gardner, and in 1851 the village boasted three stores, one of which was conducted by Hamilton Marlatt, son of one of the carly settlers, who is still in business ; a church, a post-office, and about a dozen residences, within a stone's throw of the woods on three

sides. A mail-route was established before the organiza- tion of the town, Isaac Goodsell carrying the mail through by way of Woodhull once a week on horseback.

At the head of Elk Creek, a branch of the Tuscarora from the south, in the east part of the town, is the Free- Will Baptist church, and beside it is the old cemetery where were buried the carlier settlers in the southern part of Tuscarora and Woodhull. The first settlement in the southern part of the town was made in this beautiful little valley, in 1827, by John Brimmer, whose log cabin has dis- appeared, and in its place part way up the hill stands the handsomest residence in that part of the town, whose owner and occupant, Adolphus Harrison, is the son of one of the early pioneers. Daniel Christeon came the next year, and opened a clearing near the Hurd place, half a mile farther south.

In 1832, when Alvinza Foote came into the valley, there were but five or six families in the region, Win. Lewis being the last one towards the State line. In the valley were Eli Terry and James Christeon. It was impossible to get wagons through the roads, and all travel was done on sleds. Mr. Foote. one of the early religious workers and the first deacon of the church, still lives where he first settled. He is father of Truman B. and Albert Foote, who are well-known citizens. Toward the centre of the town, on the higher land, there was no settlement previous to 1835, except the old Rozier Mill, until you reach Peirce's road ; most of the southern part of the town having a very recent date, and the greater portion of the clearing having been done in the last twenty years. The telegraph road from Addison to Osceola, Pa., passes up the valley of this creek.

Caleb Smith, who was seven years a magistrate before the formation of the town, was the first postmaster. Joseph Tubbs was succeeded at his death by his son, Silas 11. Tubbs, whose influence is as much felt in business circles as any man in that part of the county. The village was laid out in lots, in 1834, by Henry Wombough, Sr. Col. Jeffrey Smith, who has been intimately connected with the town since his early manhood, was successively ensign, paymaster, adjutant, major, and colonel, in the old days of general train- ing, first town clerk of the town of Woodhull, and twice elected to the State Legislature,-in 1844 by the Democrats, and in 1860 by the Republican party. Possessed of great firmness of character and temperance habits, he well sustains the weight of his seventy-eight years, still occupying the farm upon which he started in life. He is a son of Caleb Smith.

VILLAGE OF WOODIIU'LL.

The present village is located just below the point formed by the high land between the two ereeks, and contains some 450 inhabitants. Looking from this point down stream to the cast, the valley is visible for two miles down the Tus- carora Creek, the sloping hill-sides dotted here and there with modern farm-houses, occupying the entire scope of vision. Far off in front is a dark strip of hemlock timber upon the top of the highest ground in sight. Near by, just beyond the village, a knoll projects from the hill-side half a mile away, its top at the height of the tree-tops in the valley. This is the cemetery, white with the marble

sentinels standing guard over the inhabitants of the past. Here rest many of the carlier settlers. Just to its left is the most conspicnous residence in the place, and finest in the town,-that of William M1. Sherwood, son of the oldest settler in the central part of the town. This land was entered by Caleb Smith, before any other improvement or opening had been made within your present scope of vision than a couple of acres of ragged ehopping near where the church on your left sits back into the hill-side, above the creek. This chopping was the only evidence of civilization which greeted the eyes of Mr. Smith when he came with his family, in 1806. The few straggling apple-trees between the village and the cemetery on the flat are the remains of the first orchard planted in the towo, and were raised from the seed and transplanted. Just below, in the little space beyond the orchard was the first house, and at the point beyond stood the little log grist-mill, with its huge fireplace. The few rods between the orchard and the foot of the hill was a swamp in " those days." The brown, one-story build- ing, just beyond the church at your feet, is the town-hall, and occupies the spot where hung the huge kettles of the sugar-camp, when the Smith boys, now respected old men with grandchildren, gathered sap from the maple-sugar bush, which has since been cut down to make way for the village. On the right, a dense wood of' maple and hemlock comes down to the foot of the hill and extends away beyond ; the road passing to the right up the hill, leads through the woods to the old Sherwood place and Pulteney Hill, where were made the first settlements in the town, farther south than those on lands visible around and in front of you. The business part of the village is on both sides of the Tus- carora, which is spanned by a bridge on Main Street, on which street most of the business houses are located. The large building close in front of you, on the point, is the

WOODIIULL ACADEMY AND UNION SCHOOL.

This institution adds much to the importance of the vil- lage, obtaining its students from this and the surrounding towns to the south and west. It was built in 1868, by subscription, at an expense of $4000, and was originally designed as an academy. Hamilton Marlatt and Orin B. Baxter were the original movers in its erection, Mr. Marlatt donating the grounds, comprising one aere of land, in the most conspicuous part of the village. It was incorporated under the general law, but in 1877 the property was deeded to the district for a union free-school building, with an academic department. The first principal was Prof. Jef- freys, of New Berlin. D. H. Cobb was principal for eight years, and was succeeded by Prof. Baldwin. Present prin- cipal, Emmett Maxon, late of Alfred College, Allegany County. The entire attendance is over 200 students.

The mercantile business of Woodhull is of more import- ance than that of any other place of its size in the south- western part of the county. Wool, butter, and honey are shipped from this point in large quantities, and goods brought in by way of Addison, which is the principal ship- ping-point, regular express-wagens running to that place, carrying goods a distance of twelve miles for $3 per ton. Daily mail-stages pass through, connecting Troupsburgh and Jasper with Addison. There are now in the village

more than twenty stores, besides the usual trades, including five blacksmith-shops. The place also sustains three law- yers, a large hotel, capable of entertaining between 40 and 50 guests, and two churches. To the old foundry has been added a wool-card and shingle-mill. In 1858, James Baldwin built the large steam flouring-mill at the south end of Main Street, near the furnace. A cheese-factory near the village, the first in the town, was built in 1874, by Heury Cobb, its management thus far proving the eventual success of this industry here. The old school- house near the centre of the village has been appropriated for a town-hall. In 1871, Charles Adams started the Woodhull News, a four-page, four-column weekly news- paper, at $1.25 a year, and secured a circulation of over 200, but abandoned the enterprise for a larger place the next year.

Hedgesville, four miles north, bears the name of its first owner, Thomas Hedges. It contains two stores, a large steam flouring-mill and saw-mill, which were built in 1874, and some sixteen dwellings. Mail is received Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, from Rathboneville, six miles distant. The Presbyterian and Methodist Episcopal Union church is located here. The East Woodhull post-office is five miles east of Woodhull village, at a private house.

ORGANIZATION.

The town of Woodhull was formed from Troupsburgh and Addison, Feb. 18, 1828, and in 1856 a portion was taken off the north end and joined to the town of Rath- bone. It takes its name from Gen. Nathaniel Woodhull, one of the heroes of the Revolutionary war. At the first town-meeting, held at the house of Asher Johnson, Feb. 18, 1827, Asher Johnson was elected supervisor, Jeffrey Smith town clerk, Stephen Kent collector, Zebulon Tubbs assessor .*

CHURCHES.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

The Presbyterian Church of Woodhull was organized by Rev. Isaac Flagler, of Hammondsport, at the school-house, near Worcester Perry's, Oct. 15, 1831, adopting the Con- fession of Faith and Covenant of the Bath Presbytery. The original members were Allen Sheldon and wife, Frank- lin B. Hubbard, Chauncey P. Hubbard and wife, Obed Hathaway and wife, Catherine Pomeroy, Martin White- man, Hannah Gulick, Dorotha Whiteman, Thomas Hedges, Mary Shumway, Hannah Smith, Elizabeth Stroud, and Lyman Morrell and wife. Allen Shelden and C. P. Hub- bard were chosen elders and F. B. Hubbard clerk.

Their pastors were, in 1831, Revs. Warren Day, - Pomeroy ; 1832, Rockwell White; 1833-34, Orrin John- son ; 1835, John Gray ; 1838, D. B. Booth, James Cressy ; 1846, W. B. Stowe, M. Welles; 1860, - Baldwin ; 1866-72, Alexander Gulick ; 1872, James W. Ball ; 1873, Albert W. Hubbard; 1873-75, J. W. Beecher.

The Methodist Episcopal Society united with them in building a union church at Hedgesville, which was dedi- cated by the Methodist Presiding Elder in 1861. The present membership is about 40.

There is also an organization in the southeast part of the town, holding meetings in the Baptist church on Elk Creek. This society was organized Sept. 1, 1865, and numbers 13 members. Rev. Mr. Sturgis, of Addison, preached first ; 57

afterwards Revs. - Kennedy, - Brown, Joseph Long- ley, John Boal, Wm. A. Hubbard. Present elders: L. C. Walker, H. Cilly.

The Presbyterian Church received the Pulteney donation of 100 acres of land for first church organization in the town.

THE FREE BAPTIST CHURCH

held services at the houses of the settlers before 1832, and about 1834 a society was formed, and after the Foote school- house was built held meetings there. The first members of the organization were Deacon Ransom Northrup and wife, Aboiza Foote, Daniel Campbell. There were only 7 mem- bers. Elder Crow preached to them and also Wm. Mack. The deacons were A. Foote, D. Campbell.

The second Free-Will Baptist Church was re-established, after a suspension of some years, Feb. 18, 1852, at the house of Ileman Greenslate, who was made clerk. Rev. Simon T. Aldrich and Rev. Wm. Mack were present. Eleven persons were formed into a society, among whom were Warren Stephen, Benedict and Laura Northrup, Levi, Washington, and Polly Benedict, Bucklin Wood, Geo. Mack, and Amy Harrison. Warren Northrup was the first deacon.

A church was built, at an expense of $2000, and dedi- cated in August, 1875, by Rev. S. Aldrich, of Elmira. Trustees : Amos S. Sprague, William Mack, Salmon Har- rison. The first funeral held in the new church was that of Hannah, wife of Isaac Benedict, one of the oldest members.

The present officers are Orvill A. Hurd, Clerk ; Edward Northup, Salmon Harrison, Orvill A. Hurd. Present mem- bership, 47. Pastors: Revs. Wm. Mack, Levi C. Warri- ner, B. F. Mack, Gco. Knapp, John W. Brown, Daniel Hunt, Wm. Peck.

WOODHULL BAPTIST CHURCH.

On the 20th of November, 1835, 20 persons assembled at the house of John Kent, half a mile above the present village of Woodhull, and organized themselves into the First Baptist Church of Woodhull. Their names were Seth Bax- ter and wife, John Kent, wife and daughter, afterwards wife of William P. Myers, Ira Smith and wife, Stephen Kent, Ephraim Wood and wife, Samuel Stone, Wm. Martin and wife, Maria and Emma Edwards, Philena Marce, Lucy A. Dodge, Ebenezer Gardner, Samuel Cooper and wife. Ste- phen Kent was appointed clerk, and John Kent deacon. A council of neighboring churches was called, which met with them Jan. 13, 1836, with Rev. J. B. Chase, modera- tor ; and after due examination they were accepted by that council. Stephen Kent, aged seventy-five years, is the only one of the original members now living.

There was no settled pastor until 1840, Deacon John Kent, a licentiate, preaching when no one happened along to supply their pulpit. Rev. John Goff and Rev. Mr. Finch were early preachers. Rev. Thomas W. Colby was the first settled pastor. In June, 1849, 17 members withdrew, and formed themselves into an organization ealled the Newville Church. In March, 1858, through the efforts of Rev. George Balcom, both churches disbanded and united in the formation of a new church, under the name of the Union Baptist Church of Woodhull. This church has been well

METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCHI.

The early settlers held their first meetings at the house of Bethuel Tubbs, long before any society was formed. The first regular preacher was Rev. Mr. King, who traveled on horseback, making his circuit once in four weeks. In 1846, a church was built at Woodhull village, Alfred Smith do- nating the land and much of the means. The trustees were Alfred Smith, F. HI. Tubbs, C. F. T. Locke, F. D. Brown, and Philo Millard. The preaching has been supplied, and in mnost eases irregular, no reeord having been kept by the society.
