BANKS.

STEUBEN COUNTY BANK.

The Steuben County Bank was incorporated by aet of the Legislature, March 9, 1832. The following-named gentle- men constituted the first Board of Directors : John Magee, Wm. W. MeCay, Reuben Robie, Edward Howell, Constant Cook, James Faulkner,* Andrew B. Dickinson, Chauncey IIoffman, Charles Butler, Henry S. Williams, Henry B. Gibson, Ansel St. John, William S. Hubbell.

At a meeting of the directors, held Dec. 6, 1832, John Magee was elected President, and William B. Storm was appointed Cashier.

The bank first opened for business in a room in the old Land-Office building, Oct. 24, 1832. The present banking house was built in 1833, when the business was removed into it, where it has ever since remained. The bank has been uniformly prosperous, and has undergone few changes in its management, considering that it has been in existence over forty-six years. During this period it has stood the test of three financial revulsions, the most trying of any that have ever been experienced in the monetary affairs of this country, and has passed safely and triumphantly through them all.

Jan. 15, 1835, Wm. W. McCay was elected President, and John Magee appointed Cashier. July 1, 1851, John Magee was elected President, and D. C. Howell appointed Cashier. Jan. 12, 1869, D. C. Howell was elected President, and William E. Ilowell appointed Cashier. Feb. 24, 1870, Ambrose S. Ilowell was elected President. Jan. 13, 1874, D. C. Howell was elected President, and A. S. Howell, Vice-President.

FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF BATII.

The Bank of Bath was organized in April, 1854, under the laws of the State, as a bank of issue, under the presi- dency of the late Hon. Constant Cook, with H. H. Cook, Esq., Cashier. For two or three months the business of the bank was conducted in Judge Cook's former office, ucar his residence, after which the bank was removed to the old Land-Office building, on the south side of Pulteney Square, which building it occupied about a year, awaiting the erection of a substantial brick building upon the site of Judge Cook's former office. Upon the completion of this building the bank was removed to it. In April, 1858, the institution was again removed to the building then owned and still occupied by it at the corner of Steuben and Liberty Streets.

On the 14th of December, 1863, it reorganized under the "Act to provide a National Currency," ete., as "The First National Bank of Bath," with a capital of $50,000. Offi- cers as before-Constant Cook, President, and If. H. Cook, Cashier. Directors, Constant Cook, H. H. Cook, L. D. Hodgman, E. C. Cook, and W. W. Allen.

A few months afterwards its capital was increased to $100,000.

On the 24th of February, 1874, at the ripe age of seventy- six, and after a long and eminently-successful financial ca- reer, Judge Cook, the founder of the bank, died.

CHURCHES.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF BATII.

Some time in 1805, Mr. John Niles, a young man in feeble health, who had been licensed to preach, came from Prattsburgh occasionally, and held religious services. In June, 1806, his health having improved, he received ordi- nation from the Ontario Association of Congregational Churches, after which he supplied the church of Pratts- burgh one-half of his time, and preached the other half at Bath. On the 16th of January, 1806, a religious society

TOWN OF BATII.

vas organized so far as to elect a board of trustees, con- isting of George MeClure, J. T. Haight, Howell Bull, James Turner, Dugald Cameron, Samuel S. Haight, Henry 1. Townsend, and Robert Campbell. Two years more passed by, however, before we hear of any further effort to build up the Church of Christ in this community. Mr. Niles' labors were continued every other Sabbath until, on he 3d of January, 1808. the congregation assembled, prob- ably in the court-house, which seems to have been their place of worship until they had built a church; and there a small number of them entered into a covenant, and were constituted a church under the name of " The Church of Christ in Bath, Presbyterian Congregation." Their names were as follows: Joseph Inslee, Elizabeth Inslee, William Aulls, Elizabeth Aulls, James Turner, Eunice Johnson, Henry A. Townsend, Elizabeth Townsend, Howell Bull, Eunice Bull, Robert Campbell, Mary Shethar, Samuel S. Haight, Sarah Haight.

On the same day Joseph Inslee and Samuel S. Haight were chosen and appointed deacons of the church. All this must have taken place in connection with the usual services of the Lord's Day, the 3d of January in that year having been Sunday.

On the 30th of May following this a call was presented to Mr. Niles, requesting him to take the pastoral oversight of the congregation, which he accepted in a letter dated June 11, and he was accordingly installed by a committee of the Association, on the 7th day of July, 1808. The church thus assumed at its origin a Congregational character, but in September, 1811, it was received under the care of the Presbytery of Geneva. In November of the same year, William Aulls, Elias Hopkins, Samuel S. Haight, Henry A. Townsend, and Howell Bull were chosen and set apart to the office of ruling elder. and from that time this has been a Presbyterian Church in fact as well as in name. Only a year after this the pastor was taken away by death, Sept. 13, 1812, in the thirtieth year of his age.

In January, 1813, a call was extended to the Rev. David Higgins, of Auburn, which he accepted, and early in July of that year he was installed as pastor. He had come from Connecticut into this State at first on a missionary tour, and had but recently organized what is now the First Presbyterian Church of Auburn when he was called to Bath. Here he remained for eighteen years, extending his labors over a wide region, as it was gradually filling up with new settlers. Under his ministry the church increased its membership and erected its first house of worship, and became well established as a centre of wholesome influence to the growing village and to the surrounding neighbor- hood. The preparations for building were begun in 1821. As yet no house of worship " with a steeple" had been built in what is now Steuben County. A lot which had been part of the land-office premises was given them by the Pulteney Estate. A subscription was raised amount- ing to something over 82000, and a contract was made with Capt. Moses H1. Lyon to build the house for $2150, On the 2d of March, 1825, it was solemnly dedicated, the services being conducted by the pastor, Mr. Higgins, assisted by Rev. J. Il. Hotchkin, of Prattsburgh, and Rev. Mr. Clary, of Cohocton. At that time the church consisted

of about sixty members, but six years afterwards, when Mr. Higgins gave up his pastoral charge, sixty others had united and quite a number had been dismissed, or were just about to be dismissed, to organize new churches in the neighbor- ing villages. The church of Hammondsport and that of Kennedyville (now Kanona) derived nearly all their orig indl members from this; that of Whe dler took about one- half of its first membership from Bath, and still the parent church had strength enough to go on and prosper.

In 1831, just at the close of his seventieth year, Mr. Higgins resigned his pastoral charge, and a few years after- wards removed with his family to Norwalk, O., where he died, June 18, 1842, having passed the age of fourscore.

He was succeeded by the Rev. Isaac Watts Platt, who had but recently resigned his pastoral charge at Athens, Pa. Coming to Bath in April, 1831, he found the com- munity pervaded by a deep religious sentiment, and at the joint request of the pastor and the people, he became the stated minister. Under his preaching, together with the labors of the pastor, a remarkable work of grace was devel- oped, resulting in a large addition to the church. His call from this congregation was dated June 4, 1831.

During his pastorate occurred the discussions which sprang out of the notable revivals of those times, aud were instrumental in bringing about the division of the Ameri- can Presbyterian Church. On the 18th of February, 1838, a band of a score or more of the members of this church in Bath-including two of its ellers, Ira Gould and John Emerson-met separately in the court-house, and organized what was called the Constitutional Presbyterian Church of Bath.

This new society increased in numbers, and built a house of worship on Liberty Street, but found it very difficult to maintain stated services from year to year. The old church also could not bear the depletion thus occasioned-with all the attendant irritation-without serious injury both finan- cially and spiritually.

The pastor, meanwhile, was suffering in bodily health beyond anything that appeared in his ordinarily cheerful tone as he went about among his parishioners, and some very severe domestic afflictions weighed him down with great anxiety and sorrow. After the loss of a bright and promising son, in October, 1843, it was difficult for him to keep up his pulpit and parochial work with his accus- tomed vigor, and in April, 1844, he gave up the charge of this church. In 1847 he removed to West Farms, West- chester Co., where he was pastor until his death, in Feb- ruary, 1858.

He was succeeded here at onee by Rev. L. Merrill Mil- ler, then a young man just licensed, and whose ministry of seven years proved a well-chosen means of fostering the best influences in the congregation. In 1851 he was called to the church of Ogdensburgh, where he is pastor at this day.

In August, 1851, Rev. George D. Stewart, who had spent a few years in the ministry at Port Byron, having been called to this church, began his stated labors, His pastorate of about eight years was a very flourishing one, resulting in the gathering in of many from the surrounding country neighborhoods. In 1852 the church edifice had

180

to be enlarged to make room for the growing congrega- tion.

During the winter of 1858-59, a revival of religion began in the Baptist Church of Bath, and proved to be the begin- ning of an extended work of divine grace, in which the entire community participated. The work in this congre- gation went on under the united labors of the pastor and the Rev. Wm. E. Jones, of Caledonia, until, as the result of it, more than fifty persons, at different communion seasons, were added to this church. Mr. Stewart resigned his pastoral charge June 1, 1859, and since then has been doing eminent service to the cause of Christ in Iowa and Nebraska. He gave place here to Rev. William Evan Jones, who had been of such assistance during the recent revival. He resigned his charge in 1863 to accept the chaplainey of one of the volunteer regiments of this State, and so served during the latter part of the war of the Re- bellion.

After his departure the congregation did not seem pre- pared to call another pastor, and the services of Rev. James M. Ilarlow were engaged as a stated supply. Ile continued in this relation until October, 1868, when he gave up the pulpit. A long vacaney followed, until the close of Septem- ber, 1869, when, in response to a call dated in July of that year, the Rev. James M. Platt began his stated labors here. On coming back to his boyhood's home to take the place once occupied by his father. the way was already prepared for receiving back to the communion of this church the remnant of those who, more than thirty years before, had organized a separate church. They had now disposed of their church property, giving $1000 of the proceeds to the trustees of this church towards procuring a parsonage, and since then there has been but one Presbyterian Church in Bath.

Early in 1870, the trustees called the congregation to- gether to consider the expedieney of building a new church edifiee, and in 1871 a Ladies' Church Aid Society was or- ganized for the express purpose of raising funds for the furnishing of a new church and the purchase of an organ. It was not until 1873, however, that the project of re- building assumed any definite shape. In August of that year Messrs. John and Ira Davenport offered to make up in their family a subscription of $10,000, on condition that the congregation apart from them should raise $20,000 more, with the view of building a church that should cost $30,000. The subscription for this amount having been secured by the following March, the trustees were ap- pointed the building committee to have charge of the work ; Mr. John Beekman being at the same time elected a trus- tee on account of his thorough qualifications for the over- sight of such a task, and Mr. John Davenport being ap- pointed president of that board. Steps were immediately taken, which resulted in the erection of the present sub- stantial and beautiful stone edifice on the site of the old church, on the south side of Pulteney Square, according to plans prepared by Jacob Wrey Mould, architeet, of New York City. The building thus far has cost $50,000, to- wards which the ladies furnished $2000 through their society. It remains to complete the building by earrying out the design for the two towers, which have thus far been

erected to a height of only thirty feet. The interior has been chastely finished, and was first occupied for religious services on the 22d of Febuary, 1877. Since that time the congregation has increased, so that of the 146 pews not more than 20 can be considered vacant. The membership of the church is about 250. Besides the Sabbath-school connected with the church, a Young People's Association has been in active service since January, 1875, and holds a devotional meeting every Sunday evening, while engag- ing also in other Christian work.

The officers of the church are as follows : Pastor, Rev. James M. Platt ; Ruling Elders, Peter Halsey, Z. L. Par- ker, A. H. Otis, E. II. Hastings, Dr. A. Kasson ; Deacons, Jno. L. Scofield, Wm. II. Shepard, S. G. Lewis, C. Ganse- voort ; Trustees, Jno. Davenport, J. F. Parkhurst, Chester Knight, C. A. Ellis, Henry Faucett, E. H. Hastings ; Treasurer, Wiu. McFie.

ST. THOMAS' CHURCH, BATH.

The first sceds of this church were dropped in 1815. Early in the year the esteemed member of Assembly for this district returned from Albany to his home at Cold Springs,-midway between Bath and Hammondsport,- bringing, as his newly-married wife, a lady of rare culture, who had been raised in a staunch church family of the Con- nectient pattern, and more recently had been engaged in successful educational enterprises in Troy and its vicinity. This lady, Mrs. Elizabeth Hull Townsend, soon and deeply felt the loss of those services and ministrations which had long been endcared to her, and was greatly cheered, one summer day, upon seeing a gentleman ride up to her door, in half-clerical, half-military costume, who announced him- , self as the Rev. Mr. Hopkins, missionary at Mauch Chunk, Pa., but now on his way farther West, upon business con- nected with his services as an officer in the war of Inde- pendence. It was with some difficulty that Mrs. Townsend could persuade him to remain and hold a service in Bath. " They call our Church," he said, " the Tory Church, and no one knows how much prejudice and ill-will might be ex- cited." But she prevailed, and a service was held in the old eourt-house ; and there are some still living in this village who remember it well.

From that time Mrs. Townsend could not rest. She rode to Geneva, forty miles, on horseback, taking with her a young child for baptism, and there urged the claims of the Southern Tier to a church missionary ; but was sorrowfully told there was none to be had. Bishop Hobart, to a similar appeal, returned the same answer.

At length, however, she succeeded so well in enlisting the sympathies of her friends in the East, and of several gen- tlemen connected with the land-office in Bath,-Messrs. Troup, Cameron, and others,-that the services of Mr. yHopkins, who had revisited the place several times, werc secured, as missionary to Bath and Angelica and internic- diate places. At that time, however,-1823,-this region was still covered with dense forests, with here and there a elearing for some young and thriving settlement. But the labor and eare proved too much for our pioneer missionary, and he soon sank under them at the ripe age of sixty-nine ; and the little flock was again without a shepherd till the

summer of 1825, when a new departure was taken, under the auspices of that young missionary, Rev. William W. Bostwick, whom Bishop Hobart sent to this field. Early in 1826 he organized parishes in Bath and Hammondsport, between which two places he divided his labors ; not forget- ting, however, the wider field in which his predecessor had sown good seed.

At the time of the organization of these churches, there was not known to be a single male communicant in either place. In the former the first vestry consisted of Rev. W. W. Bostwick, Rector ; Zalman Tousy and Nehemiah White, Wardens ; Dugald Cameron, John Brown, John D. Dent, Wm. II. Bull, William Gamble, Selah Barnard, Paul C. Cook, and John D. Mitchell, Vestrymen. Of them Col. Bull is the only survivor, and has served either as vestry- man or warden ever since. Of the first wardens, one was from Campbell and the other from Avoca, as the town has since been called. The vestrymen were yet more widely scattered.

Under Mr. Bostwick's auspices church edifices were erected in good time at Bath and Hammondsport, and these have recently been replaced by noble and attractive struc- tures which would do honor to any place.

For the new St. Thomas' Church, Bath, which cost, in- cluding lot, bell, organ, architect's fees, and all its equip- ments, over $60,000, the parish is greatly indebted to the Hon. Constant Cook, who subscribed more than half that amount. The congregation contributed the remainder of the sum to be raised very liberally and promptly, so that no debt was entailed upon the parish.

The corner-stone of this church was laid by Bishop Coxe, with imposing ceremonies, one beautiful Angust evening in 1869, in the presence of a great concourse of people, who listened to his address with eager delight. The consecra- tion services, April 13, 1871, were yet more imposing, -- some twenty clergymen in their robes assisting the bishop.
