DANBY VILLAGE

is located in the Beers settlement, on the old Owego and Ithaea turnpike, six miles from the latter village. Among the first settlers of the place, from the grist-mill to the old Pumpelly dwelling-house, were Abner Beers, David Clark, Deacon Hezekiah Clark, John Pumpelly, Hudson and Ben- jamin Jennings, Lewis Beardsley, Erastus Bieree, Uri Clark, Stephen Beers, who was the first supervisor of the town, and others.

The first house was ereeted by Elias Deyo as early as 1798.

The first store was opened by Abner Beers about the

year 1806; it consisted of a general assortment of mer- chandise, which was sold in a primitive log house.

The first tavern in the village was kept by Deaeon IIeze- kialı Clark in what is now the residence of Levi C. Beers, Esq., in 1811. Dr. Lewis Beers entertained travelers at his house prior to this.

The first school-house stood on the farm now owned by Isaae Banfield, and was built about 1802. Joseph Judson was the first teacher. Among the early scholars were chil- dren from the Pumpelly, Clark, and Beers families.

The first church edifice was that built by the Presby- terian Society, as mentioned in the history proper of the town.

The post-office was first established about 1801-2, at the residence of Dr. Lewis Beers, who was appointed post- master. In 1811-12 it was removed to the residence of Jabez Beers, and about 1827 removed to the village, and Hudson Jennings became postmaster. The present in- cumbent is Josiah Hawes.

The village now contains two general stores, of which T. H. Howell and Josiah Hawes are the proprietors re- spectively, one boot and shoe store kept by J. Ostrander, four blacksmithies, three wagon and carriage shops, one grist- and two saw-mills, two churches, one each of the Methodist Episcopal and Congregational denominations, two public schools, a town-hall, several mechanics, two resident physicians, and two ministers of the gospel. The supervisor and town clerk both reside liere. The popula- tion of the village is fairly estimated at 300, counting from the grist-inill to Dr. Eli Beers.

WEST DANBY,

pleasantly situated on Cayuga Inlet and on the Geneva, Ithaca and Sayre Railway, was first settled in 1814 by Moses Barker, whose widow still survives at the advanced age of eighty-five years.

The first house in the hamlet proper was built by Jared Patchen, Esq., who owned the land, but was never an actual settler. One James Grimes lived in the house as a tenant. John, son of Jared Patchen, and father of Ira Patchen, Esq., came in 1823, and settled on the lot pur- elrased by the former. William HIngg came in about 1816.

The first store was ereeted by Ira P'atehen, in 1850. He is the present proprietor of the principal store, having suc- cessfully carried on the mercantile business for nearly thirty years. His present extensive store building was erected in 1874. Besides Mr. Patchen's store the place contains one grocery-store, two steam saw-mills, two blacksmith-shops, one wagon-shop, one Methodist Episcopal and one Baptist Church, post-office, express and telegraph offices, and a depot on the Geneva, Ithaea and Sayre Railway. Its population is fairly estimated at 200.

MANUFACTURING INTERESTS.

The manufacturing interests of Danby consist principally of grist- and saw-mills, of which the most important are the

Elm- Tree Flouring- and Saw-mills, which were erected by a stock company composed of Messrs. Ellis, Johnson, Beers & De Forrest, in 1853. After operating the mills

about three years the company disposed of the property to Thomas J. Phillips, in 1856. He added steam-power, and condueted the business successfully until the morning of Dec. 15, 1868, when it was destroyed by fire. The site then remained vacant until the present mill was built by Frazier & Krum, in 1875. The present proprietor is W. A. Gunderman. It has 3 runs of stone, and grinds about 50,000 bushels of custom work of all kinds per annum. The saw-mill turns out about 100,000 feet of lumber a year.

DANBY MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY

was organized Sept. 8, 1860, with 61 members, and a capi- tal of about $60,000. The first directors of the company were Moses T. Denman, Lewis B. Hanford, Joseph Todd, Lyttleton F. Clark, and Marcus A. Becrs. The company has grown steadily, so that on the 1st of January, 1878, its books showed the number of policies issued to be 388, amounting to $493,690. The average expenses for running the company for cightecn years amount to about $60 per annum. The present directors arc E. L. B. Curtis, Sec- rotary ; Chas. B. Keeler, President; M. D. Bruce, Chas. Howland, and George F. Beardsley ; Lemuel Jennings, Esq., Treasurer. The losses sustained by the company have always been promptly adjusted to the entire satisfae- tion of those concerned ; hence its popularity.

DANBY RURAL CEMETERY ASSOCIATION

was incorporated under the general law, July 1, 1871. The land was donated for the purpose by E. L. B. Curtis. Trustees, Charles B. Curtis, Luther G. Gerung, Levi C. Beers, E. L. B. Curtis; the latter was the first president ; the first secretary was G. F. Nourse. Present officers : E. L. B. Curtis, President ; Levi L. Becrs, Sceretary ; Lucian B. Beers, G. McArthur, Luther Roper, Trustees. The grounds contain about an aere, well laid out and neatly kept.

THE SOLDIERS' MONUMENT.

On the 4th of July, 1866, was organized the " Soldiers' Monument Association of the town of Danby." It was a fitting day on which to form an association, the object of which was to perpetuate the memory of those gallant dead who entered the Union army from this town. The events that conspire to glorify the national birthday were similar in their aim and purposes to those which made it ineum- bent upon the people, as a sacred duty, to raise the noble shaft, and to engrave on it the names of those who fought and died to sustain the flag, and to uphold the institutions that their forefathers had suffered so much to declare in-

violate and invincible just ninety years before. It was meet that this tribute should be paid the noble dead, just as it is right and proper to observe amid profound and general rejoicings the anniversary of the natal day of the "land of the free and the home of the brave." The directors of this patriotic enterprise were Charles B. Keeler, President ; E. L. B. Curtis, Levi C. Beers, John L. Hance, and Rev. Warren Meyo. The expense fund was inaugurated by a picnie, which was followed at intervals by other similar gatherings, dances, and literary and social entertainments, at which all contributed a little to the noble objeet. By these various means a sum aggregating about $1900 was raised, which, by a vote of the people (which though re- sulting in a goodly majority, yet to the shame of those who covertly opposed it was not unanimous), was increased to $3000. A building committec, composed of E. L. B. Curtis, John L. Hance, and Josiah Hawes, was chosen, with authority to negotiate for the crection of a suitable monument. They finally agreed upon one, and it was duly raised with appropriate ceremonies. It is twenty-nine feet high, of pure Italian marble, with granite base. On it are engraved the names, dates of death, and ages of forty-five who heroically sacrificed their lives in striving to preserve the Union, and to uphold the greatest of all its institutions, -LIBERTY. Fervently we all utter the appropriate wish, -" May they rest in peace."

RELIGIOUS.

The religious history of Danby is almost contemporary with its secular ; for very soon after permanent settlements were effected religious organizations were instituted, and publie worship was had in private dwellings, barns, and school-houses until such time as the people were able to afford the expense necessary for the erection of houses of worship. While the history of the various religious socie- ties, particularly that of the oldest of them, is vague, by diligent inquiry we have been enabled to obtain some relia- ble data, the authenticity of which equals the brevity of the information.

THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCHI OF DANBY

was organized as a Presbyterian Church, on the aeeomino- dation plan, in 1807. It retained its plan of union until 1867, when it became purely Congregational in form and doetrine. The church edifice, which enjoys a greater an- tiquity than any other in town, was ereeted in 1820, and has sinee been repaired as necessity demanded. The pres- ent value of church and parsonage is $5000. Trustees, Josiah Hawes, W. E. Chapman, Chester Vorhis, George Morris, Levi Hollister, and George J. Bratt; Deacons, John Bell and Chester Vorhis; Clerk of the Church, Geo. F. Beardsley ; Pastor, Rev. James Weller ; membership, 85; number of teachers and scholars in Sunday-school, 145. Superintendent, Josiah Hawes. Church and Sunday-school prosperous.

THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF DANBY

was organized first as a elass of five members, in 1811, and incorporated as a society in 1832, during which year the church edifice was erected. The dedicatory exercises were eondueted by the pastor in charge, Rev. Morgan Sherman. The house of worship has been repaired at different times, and will now comfortably seat about 500 persons. Its value, with parsonage and barn, is $4500. The first pastor was Rev. Elijah Bachelor ; the present ineumbent, Rev. Edgar Sibley. The trustees are James Howland, John Fish, Isaae Foree, Charles Banfield, and John Weleh ;

present membership, 161 ; number of teachers and scholars in Sunday-school, 70; Superintendent, B. F. Grant. The church and Sunday-school are both reported in a flourish- ing condition. There are two other appointments in the Danby circuit, namely, Morris Chapel and JJersey Hill. Morris Chapel has a membership of 60, and is valued at $2000. Jersey Hill and Danby are one as to pastoral relations and membership.

TIIE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH AT WEST DANBY was organized in 1869, though a class had existed here many years before. The first pastor was Rev. E. G. W. Hall. The church edifice was erected in 1870, and dedi- eated in October of the same year. It is a neat and hand- some building of wood, and will seat 400 persons, and is worth $3500. The present trustees are Ira Patehen, J. P. Thatcher, James Bruce, Jeremiah Thatcher, and Thomas Hutchings. Pastor, Rev. A. J. Brown. Membership, 109; number of teachers and scholars in the Sunday-school, 135; Superintendent, J. P. Thateher. The church and Sunday-school are prospering in a remarkable degree, thanks to the faithful supervision of the pastor and superinten- dent, aided by the zeal and energy of the officiary members of the church and others.

SOUTII DANBY METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH*

was formerly a part of the old North Danby charge, and as such was organized as early as 1830. The society erected their house of worship in 1836, which was completed and dedicated during the pastorate of Rev. A. Johnson, in 1837. The charge as now constituted was not detached from the parent church until 1843. In 1871 the church building was extensively repaired, during the ministry of Rev. John D. Bloodgood, at a cost of $1200. The first pastor was Rev. Peter Compton ; the present ineumbent, Rev. Ziba Evans. Membership, 166; number of teachers and scholars in Sunday-sehool, 130. Superintendent, Amasa Genung. The other Sunday-school of the charge, with William Owens superintendent, has 50 seholars. The stewards are Amasa Genung, William Howland, Charles Ostrander, William Owens, Peter Monell, Barlow Sanford, Edwin Smiley, and Charles Howland (Recording Steward). Charge generally prosperous.

THIE CHURCH OF NEW JERUSALEM AT DANBY.

This religious denomination, commonly called by those without its pale " Swedenborgian," was organized May 30, 1816, on which day and date the receivers of the new doe- trine met in the old school-house and constituted themselves into a society known as the " New Jerusalem Society of the County of Tioga," and thus recorded in the book of county records. At this meeting there were 53 male and 11 fe- male subseribers. On the 23d of March, 1825, ten males and eight females constituted themselves into a society at Danby, under the pastoral care of Dr. Lewis Beers. In April following the church edifice was begun, on a lot do- nated by Dr. Beers. The building was raised on the 2d of July, finished in November, and dedicated on the 20th

HISTORY OF TIOGA, CHEMUNG, TOMPKINS,

of the same month. The ancient sacred edifice still re- mains, but has not been regularly used since 1866. The first pastor was Dr. Lewis Beers, who continued with the church until 1840, in all about a quarter of a century. From 1844 to 1850, and from 1862 to 1866, Rev. Soly- man Brown was pastor, since whom there has been no regular minister.

CHRIST'S PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF DANBY was organized Ang. 12, 1826, in the school-house of Dis- trict No. 2. The first rector was the Rev. Lucius Carter ; the first wardens, Daniel Williams and Walter Bennett ; Vestrymen, Aaron Bennett, David Marvin, Lawrence Van Kleeck, Isaac Jennings, Timothy St. John, Hanford Brad- ley, Ezekiel Sanford, and Benjamin Banker. The church edifice was erected in 1834, and consecrated Sept. 29, 1836, by the Right Rev. Benjamin T. Onderdonk, bishop of the diocese. The present rector is the Rev. Rogers ; Wardens, Fred. Boda and Fred. W. Long; Vestrymen, Aaron W. Bennett, Lucian B. Beers, Charles W. Jennings, Levi Jennings, John J. Cooper, and Edmund Jennings ; number of communicants, 30; value of church property, $3500.

THE WEST DANBY BAPTIST CHURCH

was first organized by twenty-seven members dismissed for that purpose by the Spencer Church, in 1821. This church afterwards removed to Ithaca, and its name was changed accordingly. In 1823 another change was deemed advisa- ble, and the old Spencer Church was divided into the First and Second Baptist Churches of Spencer ; the latter, some years subsequently, removed to West Danby. The church edifice was erected in 1840, and dedicated in the winter of 1841, during the pastorate of Elder Gross. The present trus- tees are G. A. Todd, Isaac Briggs, and Amasa Tupper ; Dea- cons, G. A. Todd and T. J. Stephens ; present membership, 60; number of teachers and scholars in the Sunday-school, 50 ; Superintendent, A. P. Hopper ; value of church prop- erty, $2500.

EDUCATIONAL AND GENERAL.

Not more than a lustrum elapsed after the arrival of the first white settlers before a school-house was erected in Danby, and a school-teacher was employed from among the pioneers. He upon whom this honor fell was Joseph Jud- son, who had come hither as the indentured help of Dr. Lewis Beers, in 1797. At the time of his arrival he was fifteen years of age, and when he commenced to teach the school he was not more than eighteen. He had enjoyed the then limited educational advantages of the Connecticut schools, and was qualified to impart to the youth placed in his charge at least the rudiments of useful knowledge. What a wondrous change has little more than three-fourths of a century wrought in matters pertaining to the dissemi- nation of learning, through the medium of our admirable public school system ! We quote from the annual report of the county superintendents of schools : number of dis- tricts, 17 ; number of children of school age, 623; number attending school, 537 ; number of teachers employed, male, 13 ; female, 24; number of weeks taught, 312; number of school-houses, 17; value, with sites, $7427 ; number of

volumes in school library, 486 ; value of same, $88. Receipts -State appropriation, $1789.43 ; raised by tax, $1316.89; from all other sources, $699.02. Expenditures-paid for teachers' wages, $3125.28 ; for incidental expenses, $355.18; school-houses, repairing, etc., $258.56 ; balance, $154.60.

The population of the town for each lustrum from 1845 to 1875 inclusive, is given in the State census of the latter year as follows : in 1845, 2494; in 1850, 2411; in 1855, 2331; in 1860, 2261; in 1865, 2140; in 1870, 2126; in 1875, 2161.

The information from which the above history of Danby is prepared was kindly furnished by the following persons and authorities, to whom and which we tender our sincere thanks for the favors conferred : E. L. B. Curtis, Esq., for personal assistance and the use of Dr. Lewis Beers' meno- randa ; the venerable Isaac Dumond; Levi C. Beers; Ira Patchen ; Mrs. Amy Barker, widow of Moses Barker; G. A. Todd; Eli Beers, M.D .; Isaac Banfield; Levi Jennings ; Andrew W. Knapp; Albert Hall; the pastors of the various churches ; Charles B. Keeler; George Lam- kin, for a neat copy of names on soldiers' monument ; Joseph E. Judson, Secretary of the "Grange ;" John E. Beers, Supervisor ; and Benjamin Jennings, Town Clerk.
