THE FIRST METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF ODESSA was organized Oct. 19, 1877, by Rev. U. S. Hall, with 62 members. A class had been formed in 1870 with about 20 members. The church edifiee was ereeted in the summer of 1877, and dedicated Feb. 13, 1878, by Rev. B. S. Ives, assisted by Presiding Elder M. S. Hard, of Ithaca. The building will seat 350 persons, and is valued at $2500. The present trustees are Stephen Beardsley, James Beards- ley, Sewall Beardsley, Warren Fowler, R. B. Lockhart,- the latter is also class-leader; present pastor, Rev. U. S. Hall ; membership, 62; teachers and seholars in Sunday- school, 60; Superintendent, Stephen Beardsley.

THE FIRST WESLEYAN METHODIST CHURCH OF ODESSA is a consolidation of the societies of the Foote's Hill and East Hollow Societies, of that denomination, and was or- ganized in 1856 by Rev. P. S. Lawson, with about 25 members. The house of worship was built in 1856, and dedicated in the fall of that year by Rev. Luther Lee. It will seat 300 persons, and is valued at $2000. First trus- tees, John A. Reed, John Rumsey, Daniel Adams, and Lorenzo Brown ; membership, 45 ; number of teachers and scholars in Sunday-school, 58; Superintendent, Timothy Couch ; present pastor, Rev. C. H.

WALTER LYON.

As time rolls on the circle of pioneers lessens, and very soon none will remain to recount the story of their early toil and lahor, and to repeat the history of the early settlements. Among the limited num- ber of the very carly settlers of the old town of Catharine none occupy a more exalted position than Walter Lyon and his estimable wife. For nearly three-quarters of a century has he resided within a few rods of where we find him to-day, and where doubtless the final summons will reach him in God's good time. Here on the old home- stead he has experienced many joys, and also many sorrows. Amid the humble scenes of the home where he has spent all, save seven years, of his long and busy life, he cherished a fond desire to close all earthly toil and care, and when he passes hence he will leave those behind to fill his place, for

" Generations in their course decay,

So flourish these when those have passed away."

Walter Lyon was born in Fairfield Co., Conn., Oct. 2, 1797. In 1804 his parents, Isaac and Rachel (Edwards) Lyon, removed from Fairfield County to what is now Catbarine, Schuyler Co., N. Y., and located with their family of ten children upon the lands subsequently owned and occupied by Walter Lyon, and now by bis son Jesse. Isaac Lyon died April 1, 1821, aged seventy-six years, his wife having preceded him to the grave nearly six years, dying Sept. 24, 1815, in the fifty-eighth year of her age. A few years after the death of his father, Walter Lyon married Miss Nancy Coe, with whom he has lived fer nearly fifty-five years. On the event of their golden wedding, May 1, 1874, a large number of relatives and friends assembled to do honor to the worthy couple, who together had passed through a half- century of toil and care in wedlock ; and many substantial proofs of affectionate regard were bestowed upon them. They have three children,-Jesse, Lucy, and Mary. Jesse resides on the old home- stead ; Lucy married A. J. Cleveland, and resides at Peoria, Illinois ; and Mary married David Turner, Jr., and resides in Chemung County. It is a somewhat remarkable fact connected with this family that for more than fifty years there has not been a single death, either among the parent stock or the children. The old couple enjoy ex- cellent health, and retain all of their faculties. During the past sum- mer they visited their married daughter residing in Illinois, and suffered ne apparent inconvenience from that extended trip. They remain as old landmarks of the past, and may they yet tarry with us many years is our carnest wish.

JESSE LYON.

Residing on the old Lyon homestead, as before stated, is Jesse, son of Walter and Nancy (Coe) Lyon. Ile was born within a few rods of where he now lives, March 20, 1825. He had the advantages of a common school only until he attained his eighteenth year, when he entered the Ithaca Academy, where he completed his education. He subsequently engaged in teaching during the winter, working on his father's farm during the summer months. At the age of twenty-five he commenced a course of study at Lima Seminary, and spent a number of terms in connection with that institution and Genesee College. In 1856 he was married to Miss Elizabeth Gaylord, of Penn Yan, since which time he has been engaged in agricultural pursuits ; and also in trade a part of the time. He held the position of post- master at Catharine a number of years ; served four years as superin- tendent of schools in the old town of Catharine, and has held various official positions, among others representing his town in the County Board of Supervisors for nine consecutive years, four of which he was chairman of the board.

In 1872, Mr. Lyon was placed in nomination by the Republican party of Schuyler County as a candidate for member of Assembly, but was defeated by a small majority by Hon. Jeremiah MeGuire.

Mr. and Mrs. Lyon have two sons and three daughters, all of whom reside at home. Upon the premises of Mr. Lyon are still standing the original edifices of the Methodist Episcopal and Protestant Episcopal Societies, the former having been erected in 1809, and the latter iu 1810. The old dwelling-house huilt by his grandfather is also standing, and is occupied as a tenant-house. It was one of the first frame structures erected in this section, and required, wben raised, the assistance of the adult male inhabitants of what now constitutes five towns.

Mr. Lyon has been actively and officially connected with the Schuyler County Agricultural Society for some years, and for the last two years has been its president. He is also State Deputy of the State Grange of Patrons of Husbandry. In the many responsible positions Mr. Lyeu has been called upon to occupy, he has always faithfully discharged the duties thereof, and has acquired a reputation for honesty and personal worth of which he may well be proud.

Anillustration of his beautiful residence and surroundings, together with portraits of his venerable parcuts, can be found elsewhere in this volume.

LEWIS BEARDSLEY.

Near the dawn of the present century a representative family among the pioneers of the old town of Catharine came in. It consisted of David Beardsley, wife, and children ; among the latter he whose name heads this sketch, then a child of almost four years. David Beardsley settled on the farm now occupied by his son, Lucius C., arriving there on the 14th of February, in the year 1800. He was a native of Connecticut, and a man of indomitable energy, and of remarkable enterprise. He was identified with many of the most important material improvements of the then thinly settled town, among which was the erection of the original Odessa grist-mill. In agricultural matters he was largely engaged, and as a good, practical farmer perhaps he was best known. Lewis Beardsley, the elder son of David Beardsley, was born in Fairfield Co., Conn., March 4, 1796. He received what little of education he had time to acquire in the district schools of the town to which his parents removed as above stated, and [by application and self-study possessed himself of enough useful knowledge, so as to become in after-life a successful farmer, and a good business man generally. On the 11th of March, 1821, he married Nancy, daughter of Zachary A. Lewis, a pioneer of Catharine, and as such mentioned in the history of that town elsewhere in this volume. This worthy woman and exemplary housewife lived with her husband until death took her hence, June 19, 1867, after a married life of nearly forty-six years. They raised a family of six children, all of whom survive. Their names and the dates of their birth are as follows :

Sherman, born Jan. 13, 1823; Francis Schuyler, born May 14, 1825; Maria Louisa, born Dec. 2, 1827 ; Lucy Ann, born July 28, 1829; David Curtis, born Oct. 10, 1832; Jonathan Lawrence, born Aug. 28, 1837. For his second wife, Mr. Beardsley married Mrs. Elizabeth B. Lyon, who died on the 12th of February, 1873, Since this bereavement he has lived with his son, Francis S., who is married, and purposes to spend his declining years with them. He bears the weight of his fourscore and three years remarkably well, and presents an admirable specimen of a well-preserved and vigorous manhood. He never aspired to political preferment of any kind, and could not be induced to accept any office, except occasionally that of highway commissioner in his district, where his duty was to see that the roads were kept in good repair, which he did faithfully and well. He served in the Light Horse Company of the State Militia, and was always actuated by feelings of truc patriotism at all times when the honor of the nation required an expression of opinion. In politics he is a Republican, having witnessed the organization alike of that and of the old Whig party. In religious matters he entertains liberal views, and never affiliated with any sectarian denomination. It was, doubtless, an example of a life and character similar to that of Mr. Beardsley's that the poet had in his mind's eye when he wrote,

"To live in hearts we leave behind Is not to die."

For surely he will live in the hearts of those who know him best long after his body shall have mouldered to dust.

rently as sound as ever they were. It enjoys a venerable antiquity, and is, therefore, deserving of preservation, as one of the few existing landmarks of "ye olden time." The present church edifice was erected in 1835. The first church wardens were William H. Prince and Isaae Lyon. The present number of communicants is 98; number of teachers and scholars in Sunday-school, 41; Superinten- dent, Rev. Noble Palmer ; Assistant Superintendent, Austin J. Bradley ; Wardens, L. W. Frost and Joel M. Couch ; Vestrymen, Peter Cooper, George S. Hitchcock, Van Rens- selaer Brown, Austin G. Bradley, John H. Hall, Herman Cushing, and Charles Stone ; Rector, Rev. Noble Palmer.

THE FIRST FREE-WILL BAPTIST SOCIETY OF ODESSA was formed July 2, 1841, at the house of John Foster. There were 13 constituent members, most of whom were dismissed from the parent church of Veteran (Chemung County), for the purpose of organizing a branch society. July 1, 1854, it became an independent church, the first pastor of which was Elder Francis A. Wildman. The edifice was crected in 1856, and dedicated in the fall of that year, the Rev. David Waterman officiating. The so- eicty was incorporated according to law, Feb. 12, 1855, as recorded in the office of the county clerk at Watkins. The first trustees were Eaton Agard, Sylvester Mix, John Mitchell, Lorenzo Brown, and Phineas Catlin. The pres- cent pastor is Elder Jeremiah Cooper; membership, 42. Sunday-school Superintendent, Charles Rundell ; Trustees, Eaton J. Agard, John Charles, Perry Babeock, and Myron Hewitt ; Deaeons, Sylvester Mix and E. J. Agard.

THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF ALPINE

was originally a branch of the Havana Church, and was formed by Rev. J. Hendricks, as a separate society, July 11, 1874, with 15 constituent members. The society has no church edifice, but worships in the Methodist meeting- house. The present pastor is Rev. Charles Berry ; Trus- tees, M. D. Hall, George Dewey, L. R. Rosebrook, Burr Swartwood, A. H. Rarrick, A. S. Brown, J. M. Clark, William P. Mallory, and Alexander Lawhead ; member- ship, 36. Sunday-sehool during the winter months in con- neetion with the Methodists.

Highland Grange, No. 22, of Catharine, organized Nov. 4, 1873, with 13 charter members. The first officers were Jesse Lyon, Master ; Milo Hitchcock, Overseer ; George N. Wager, See. ; George Winter, Treas. ; Mrs. Ellen Hitchcock, Ceres ; Cynthia Cushing, Pomona ; Sarah E. Hall, Flora. The present officers are Jesse Lyon, M. ; George Hitchcock, O .; David Crane, Sec. ; Isaac Estabrook, Treas .; Mrs. Cora Crane, Ceres ; Mrs. Nellie Estabrook, Pomona; Miss Belle Lyon, Flora. Present membership, 44.

Alpine Grange, No. 229, P. of H., was organized August 24, 1874, with Jacob Fitzgerald as Master ; A. S. Brown, Overseer ; S. C. Bolgen, Treas. ; J. B. Farr, Sec .; Mrs. S. C. Bolgen, Ceres ; Miss Rhoda Cure, Pomona ; Mrs. Mary Van Low, Flora. The present chief officers are Jacob Fitzgerald, Master; Alexander Mallory, Overseer; George Carpenter, Treas. ; J. B. Farr, Sec. ; Eda Mallory, Ceres ; Jesse Farrington, Pomona ; Violet Van Low, Flora. Present membership not given.

CATHARINE LIBRARY.

The " Catharine Library Association" was formed under the aet of the Legislature of April 1, 1817.

The subseription for the shares in it bears date of Jan. 13, 1817. The names of forty subseribers are on the paper, most of whom, with one or two exceptions, took a share cach. The first meeting of the stockholders was held at Catharine, where the library was kept until its discontin- uance on the 13th of May, 1817. The next meeting was held in 1818, and the third in 1819. In 1820 no record is left of there being any held, nor in 1832; with these exceptions a regular annual meeting was held on the first Tuesday of each year.

The following is a list of its first officers: Trustees, Sam- uel Agard, Wm. H. Prince, Uriah Parsons, Enoch Mar- chant, Geo. Hibbard, Chester W. Lord, and Elijah S. Hin- man. Wm. H. Prince was the first treasurer, and Chester W. Lord, the originator of the library, was the first li- brarian. The number of books in the catalogue in 1853 was 446, including many old and rare volumes. These, as near as could be arrived at from the old bills, eost about $500, which was derived from the sale of shares and yearly dues. In the society library of "The Brothers of Unity," at Yale College, New Haven, there hangs a catalogue of that library which was written over a hundred years ago. Nothing within its walls attracts more attention than that old relie. None are now alive of the forty subscribers. Though silent is the lesson which the old subseription list tells of the past, yet the dim old writing, " we the sub- scribers," speaks eloquently and effectively.

THIE ALPINE GREENBACK CLUB

was organized Oct. 11, 1877, with J. D. Wager as Chair- man, and Henry Lyon Secretary. The same day a " Green- back Pole," said to be the first in the county, was raised. The present membership of the club is 105.

THE MAGEE TROUT PONDS

were established by John Magee, Jr., and fixed up at a cost of several thousand dollars. The grounds proper con- tain 18 aeres, and there are about 57 acres more that go with the property. In the spring of 1877, C. L. Kellogg purchased the place. There are now nine ponds and one hatchery, containing beautiful salmon, California speckled (brook ) trout, from pin fish to glorious old five-pounders.

ÇAYUTA LAKE.

This beautiful sheet of water contains about 350 acres, and is a part of the Lawrence tract, and is still in possession of members of the Lawrence family, as in selling lots on its borders they always reserved the right to the lake. It abounds in fish, and affords fine sport to the owners and their friends, and to those residing in its immediate vicinity having permission to fish therein.

EDUCATIONAL AND GENERAL.

The primitive log school-house of three-quarters of a century ago has been succeeded by more commodious houses ; and in proportion to this material development,

HISTORY OF TIOGA, CHEMUNG, TOMPKINS,

the system of teaching has also progressed. From a few children, elad in homespun garments, and trudging miles to attend school, dozens now attend, and the houses are located at convenient distances, as easily accessible as is the knowledge disseminated therein. Soon after the eom- mencement of the present century, schools were taught at Odessa and Johnson's Settlement (Catharine). To trace the development of the system, and the organization of the various distriets, would be an interesting task, but one re- quiring much more space than we have at command. As showing the present status of educational matters in the town, we subjoin the following statisties from the last annual report of the School Commissioner, Charles T. Andrews :

State appropriation, $1386.20 ; raised by tax, $1005.79; other sources, total, $2524.31 ; number of districts, 14; number of school-houses, 12; teachers, 27 (11 males and 16 females); children of school age in district, 507; scholars, 474 ; weeks taught, 3633.

POPULATION.

From the compilations of the State census from 1845 to 1875, inelusive, we find the population of the town to have been, for each lustrum, as follows: In 1845, 2611; in 1850, 3096; in 1855, 3517; in 1860, 3688; in 1865, 1622 ;* in 1870, 1629 ; in 1875, 1551.

The largest accession to the population of the town, made at any one time in the natural way, was on the 22d of July, 1855, when the wife of Mr. Foster Ervay pre- sented him with four children at one birth, three girls and one boy. They were named Ida A., Irvin A., Ada A., and Joy O. The boy and one girl were living at last accounts.

The information contained in the above history of the town of Catharine was obtained chiefly from the following persons and authorities, namely : Hull Fanton, Esq., Phineas Catlin, Esq., Jesse Lyon, A. J. Agard, Hon. Abraham Lawrence, Lewis Beardsley (1st), R. B. Lock- hart, E. S. Hinman, Mrs. Sarah Lockerley, J. D. Wager, the pastors of the various churches, Charles F. Andrews, " Centennial History," French's and Hough's State Gazet- teers, and Hamilton Childs' Historical Directory, ete.

MILITARY RECORD.

The total amount of money paid by the town of Catharine (previous to the last call for troops in 1865) for bounties, exclusive of amounts paid for county bounties, was $12,857. The following bounties were paid to volunteers at the periods named: in 1862, from $25 to $100; 1863, $300; 1864, $200.

In the year 1864, in addition to the bounty above men- tioned, a county bounty of $600 each was paid to volun- teers.

The subjoined list of the soldiers of Catharine who served in the war of the Rebellion is procured by the united assistance of Hon. Abraham Lawrenee and Eaton J. Agard, who were prominently identified with military

affairs during the period of 1861-65. The list is not as complete as we desired, but as no records are on file, either in the town clerk's office or in the Adjutant-General's De- partment at Albany, the names and data here given are procured by actual research, principally by the gentlemen above named, and also Captain H. L. Couch, of Havana, to whom we acknowledge ourselves indebted for the infor- mation furnished.
