" The next annual town-mecting was held at Enos Silsbee's, on the first Tuesday of March, 1804. Dennis O'Conor and William Ker- nan were there, but not allowed to vote, being aliens. Esquire Wells and Jacob Tecples were candidates for supervisor. The justices said the law required a freeholder. Mr. Teeples was called and ques- tioned as to his being a freebolder. He replied, "I am not." The people opposed to Wells immediately sought for a candidate in lieu of Teeples. They asked me if I would accept. I gave my assent. Tickets were quickly written, circulated, and voted. The result was my being elected supervisor of Frederickstown. The hoard of super- visors met at Bath the first Tuesday in October, 1804, to audit accounts and levy the taxes. The county of Steuben at that time contained only six towns. From minutes I made at the time, I can now give the following statistics and names of the supervisors :

" Painted Post .- John Knox, Supervisor. Number of taxable in- habitants, 130.

" Bath .- Samuel Baker, Supervisor. Numbor of taxable inhabi- tants, 119.

" Canisteo,-Uriah Stephens, Supervisor. Number of taxable in- habitants, 86.

" Middletown .- George Martin, Supervisor. Number of taxable in- habitants, 55.

" Frederickstown (afterwards Wayne) .- John Dow, Supervisor. Number of taxablo inhabitants, 146.

Probably nearly all the taxable inhabitants were heads of families and had several children, An average of five to each family would indicate the population of the county at that time at nearly 3000, and of the town of Frederickstown 730.

" The old town of Frederickstown then included the present towns of Tyrone, Reading, and Orange, of Schuyler County ; Barrington and Starkey, of Yates County ; and Bradford and Wayne, of Steuben County. J. S. S.

"At the next town-meeting, which was held at Solomon Wixon's, Frederickstown, March, 1805, Jacob Tecple, having become a free- holder, was chosen supervisor, and the other town officers were elected with but little excitement. At this town-inceting notice was duly given that application would be made to the next Legislature for a division of tho town. To effect this I took an active part, procured signers to our petition, took it and all the papers necessary and de- livered them to John Wilson, our member of Assembly, then residing in Bath, who procured, Feb. 17, 1806, the passage of an act 'That from and after the passage of this act, all that part of Fredericks- town, in Steuben County, lying cast of the old pre-emption line . . . shall be and hereby is erected into a town by the name of Reading, and tho first town-meeting in the town of Reading shall be held at the dwelling-house of Abner Hurd, in said town.' We attended the annual town-meeting of Frederickstown, held first Tuesday of March, 1806, not knowing then that sail at hal been passel. Soon after this we received a copy of the act, and finding that we no longer be- longed to Frederickstown, we gave general notice that a town-meet- ing would be held at the house of Abner Hurd to elect town officers. This meeting was held in April, 1806. The town thus formed in- cluded the present town of Starkey, Yates Co. Nearly all the voters attended. All the officers were chosen very peaceably. I was elected supervisor, and they continued to re-elcet ine to that office each suc- cessive year until the spring of 1819. I was again elected supervisor of Reading in 1834. I was appointed justice of the peace for Read- ing in 1806, and a judge of the Court of Common Pleas in 1808, and continued in those offices until 1821. In 1826 I was again appointed to tho office of justice of the peace, and was continued in that office until January, 1851, making in all a period of forty years that I served the people in that capacity.

"Just before the general election of 1818, James McCall and my- self wero nominated as the Democratic candidates for members of Assembly from the counties of Steuben an l Allegany; John Metcalf was a candidate in opposition. Great exertions were mado to defeat my own and secure his election. Among the means used was ridicule. This, however, increased the number of votes cast for me, and I was clected by a considerable majority. I was again electe 1 in 1819, and in 1820 was nominated tho third time. John Teeple ran in opposi- tion. Although ho was popular, I was again elected; and thus I attendod three sessions of tho Legislature, and one extra session to choose olectors to vote for President and Vice-President of the United States."

Judge Dow died in 1853, at the age of eighty-four years, and at the time of his death was the oldest member of the Masonie fraternity in this part of the State. In personal appearance he was above the medium height, and in his prime was remarkable for his osseous and museular develop- ment. His private life was without spot or blemish. IIe probably never had an enemy, and his publie life, as de- tailed in the foregoing columns, shows the estimation in which he was held by those who knew him best. He was a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church for more than fifty years. Judge Dow was married in

1791. His first wife was the widow Mallory, one of the Friends' followers, and mother of Hon. Meredith Mallory, formerly member of Congress from Steuben and Yates. She bore him two daughters. ITis second wife was the widow Leake.

David Culver came from Voluntown, Windham Co., Coun., at a very early day, and settled first at the head of the Seneca Lake, the present site of the village of Wat- kins. He was one of the very first settlers of the territory embraced in the present county of Schuyler. According to Judge Dow's statement, he was one of the two or three parts of families living at the head of the lake in 1789, and it was in his (Culver's) house that young Dow was cared for while ill with the measles. In 1800, accompanied by his sons, David, Jr., Elisha, William R., John, and his daughter Sally, the elder Culver removed to Reading, and settled near the corners, on the farm next west of Dow, and about one-half mile north of the present village of Reading Centre. He opened the first " place of entertain- ment," or tavern, about 1801, and the locality then becante known as "Culver's Settlement." His son Miner, born soon after his settlement here, was the first child born in the town. Elisha, the second son, was the first person married, and David, Jr., the eldest, kept the first store, which was situated near his father's house, north of the centre.

Alexander Hinton settled on the Lake Road, near Wat- kins, in 1802.

William Roberts, the progenitor of the Roberts family in Schuyler County, came from Adams Co., Pa., in 1797. He was accompanied by his sons John, James, and Joseph. The family brought their goods overland to the Susque- hanna River; then proeuring a boat they floated down the river to its junction with the Tioga ; then pushed against the current up the latter stream to Newtown. Here they procured a yoke of oxen and a cart, whose wheels were made by sawing off sections of a large log. With this vehicle they slowly wended their way through the dense pine forests and along General Sullivan's road to Catharine's Landing, now Havana. Here they employed one Gilbert Hathaway to carry them in a boat down the inlet and lake to Ovid. The entire journey ocenpied eight weeks. The family came from Ovid to Reading in 1806. Having lived in the vicinity of Reading, Pa., they suggested the name at the time of this town's formation. The sons, John and James, were the first blaeksmiths in this region. Their first shop was made by sawing off the stump of an oak, and setting the anvil upon it in the open air, arranging the bellows also in primitive style.

Their shop was thus said to include the whole town. A story is related, that a stranger, in passing through, inquired for a blacksmith. He was told that he was already in the shop, and the anvil was only six miles distant.

We also find that, in 1806, Valentine Hitchcock had settled on the present site of Reading Centre. Elisha Cul- ver had married, and was living where W. C. Sprowis now resides. A man named Phillips lived on the farm now owned by Thomas Ellis. Elisha Benediet was settled near Elisha Culver's. John French was on the premises now owned by Smith Conklin. Samuel Gustin lived east of the

eentre, near the depot, and Eliadia Parker was at Ireland- ville. Alfred and Anson Rich, brothers, were located where Alfred Rich, Esq., a son of the former, now resides.

James Calvert and his sons, Alpheus, John, and George, came from Saratoga County, in 1806, and settled three- fourths of a mile northeast of the present residence of the son, Alpheus Calvert, who, at the age of eighty-four years, is the only pioneer living in the town who was here as early as 1806. His sister, Mrs. Hannah Wait, is also a resident of Reading. Mr. Alpheus Calvert is a survivor of the original members of the first Baptist Society, formed here in 1809, and one of the two surviving pupils of the first sehool taught in a school-house, by Ira Parker, in 1807-8.

Andrew McDowell, Caleb Fulkerson, Richard Laning, and Daniel Shannon were also settlers in the town prior to 1806.

Jolin Sutton emigrated at an early period-immediately after the close of the Revolutionary war -- from Orange Co., N. Y., to Pennsylvania. He remained there but a short time, for in 1786 he removed from Pennsylvania to Ovid, Sencea Co. In 1807, accompanied by his family, among whom were his sons Nathaniel and Ansou, he set- tled in Reading on the premises now owned by his son Anson. IIere he resided until his death, was one of the constituent members of the first Baptist Society formed here, and a most worthy citizen, friend, and neighbor. He had but two sons, viz .: Nathaniel and Anson ; both arc residents of Reading at the present time, aged respectively cighty- four and seventy-two years. Of four daughters, Mrs. Tenant Peck and Mrs. Samuel Lott are survivors. Mr. Nathaniel Sutton has four sons living, viz .: Francis L. and Monroe, of Yates County, and Harrison and Anson, of Reading.

John Davis and his son Alpheus came from Saratoga County in 1807, and settled near where Alphcus Calvert now resides. The elder Davis lived to be ninety-five years of agc.

Asaph Corbett, accompanied by his son Chester, settled on the farm now owned by a grandson, Wallace Corbett, at about this time; and among others who came in in 1807 were Jason Peek and his sons, Jason, Jr., Erastus, Tenant, and Benoni ; and daughters, Phoebe, Rhoda, Sophrona, and Annis. Mr. Peck came from Windham, Greene Co., N. Y., and died at the age of eighty years. His son Ten- ant is a resident of Reading, and Benoni, of Beaver Dams.

Mr. Lewis Lafever came from Seneea County in 1808, and settled where W. C. Sprowls now resides. He bought out Elisha Benediet. His sons, Russell and Harvey La- fever, are residents of Reading.

Thomas Torrenec was also a resident here in 1808.

John Diven, accompanied by his sons William, John, George, and Francis, came from Pennsylvania and settled in the town of Dix in 1802. In 1809 he removed to Reading, settling on the farm now owned by James O'Daniels. Wil- liam Diven, the eldest son, was one of Reading's most promi- nent and worthy citizens. He was a justice of the peace for thirty years, supervisor of his town nine years, and repre- sented Steuben County in the State Legislature in 1847. He died in 1873, aged eighty-four years. Gencral Alex. S.

Diven-the only son of John Diven by a second marriage- is a resident of Elmira, and the only surviving son. He is mentioned in the history of the town of Dix.

John Hurlbut, John Hurley, James Drake, Jonathan Treman, James Hayes, Alpheus Schofield, and Abner Piper were also settlers in the town in 1809.

The wilderness was fast being settled up and the prime- val forests giving place to cultivated fields at about this time, for we find, by referring to the census of 1810, that Read- ing then contained a population of 1210 people. It is true it then included the present town of Starkey, Yates Co. Ichabod and Amherst Andrews, brothers, were here in 1812. Daniel C. Norris and his brother Samuel came from near Danbury, Conn., and in 1814 settled in Reading. Samuel did not remain here long. Daniel C. was accompanied by four children, viz., Mary A.,-now Mrs. William Diven,- Delia A., Burlock W., and Daniel C. Norris, Jr. They are all living in Reading except Miss Delia A., who is a res- ident of Hector. Mrs. Henrietta Durland, who was born in Reading, is also a resident of Hector. Daniel C. Norris died at the age of seventy-eight years. His wife, Esther, lived to be ninety-one years old.

Samuel Sellon, from Whitingham, Windham Co., Vt., with his sons Major, Zebina, John, Wesley, and William, set- tled first in Dryden, N. Y., where he remained three years. He came to Reading in 1814, and settled on the farm now owned by his son John. Zebina, the second son, built the first framed house in this part of the town. It is now oeeupied by Mr. Francis Goundry. The only survivors of this family are William, who is believed to be still living in Iowa, and Mr. John Sellon, aged seventy-eight, who resides on the homestead. Mr. Sellon relates many amusing incidents connected with the early settlers, and was intimately ac- quainted with Brigham Young, his father, and brothers, when they lived near by him, in the adjoining town of Tyrone.

In 1807, Samuel Ross came from Cumberland Co., Pa., and settled near Eddytown. He was aecompanied by his wife and sons James, Alexander, Samuel, and William, and his daughter Margaret. Of these there are now living James, in Catlin, Chemung Co., and Samuel and Willianı, in Reading. They are all successful farmers and most worthy eitizens. Samuel, the third son, settled in Reading in 1827, and the year following purchased the farm on which he now resides. William lived in Horseheads for several years, and finally settled here in 1842.

Alonzo Simons came from Eastern New York at an early day. He engaged in the mereantile business at Dundee and Rock Stream, was very successful, and retired to Reading about 1844.

Roswell Shepherd, of North Haven, Conn., settled in Reading Centre in 1828. He was engaged in the merean- tile business at Altay and Reading Centre for many years, married one of Judge Dow's daughters, and is a resident of Reading Centre at the present time.

INITIAL EVENTS.

Judge Dow built the first house, 1798. It stood just east of the present residence of Mrs. Davis. David Cul- ver erected the first framed house, at the corner near the !

school-house. Eliadia Parker built the first saw-mill at Irelandville. Judge Dow opened the first farm, and bar- vested the first erops, 1798. David Culver opened the first tavern, in 1801. David Culver, Jr., kept the first store, in 1806; it stood near the tavern. William Diven was the first postmaster at Reading Centre. Hiran Chap- man was the first postmaster in the town ; the office was the Reading Post-Office, Irelandville, and was established 1816. Judge Dow was the first manufacturer in the county ; he made spinning-wheels and chairs at Watkins, in the winter of 1790 and '91. Lucy Dow, daughter of Judge Dow, taught the first school, in her father's house, in the summer of 1807. Ira Parker taught the first school in a house erected for that purpose, during the winter of 1807 and 1808. This log school-house stood on Wm. Ross' present farm, about fifteen rods south of his house. Messrs. Nathaniel Sutton and Alpheus Calvert are the only surviving pupils of that school now living here. Mr. Sutton relates that the books in use then were the Holy Scriptures, Daboll's arithmetic, and Webster's spell- ing-book. The only highways in the town, in 1807, were the Lake Road-the road from the head of the lake, or the present village of Watkins, running northwest to Reading Centre, and thenec westerly towards Tyrone-and the road from the Centre, which intersected the Lake Road at Rock Stream. The first religious society (Baptist) was formed by Rev. John Goff in 1809, at Reading Centre. The Methodists erected the first church edifiee, in 1818; it stood about one mile south of the Centre. The first marriage was that of Elisha Culver and Miss Susan Diven, in 1805 ; and the first birth that of Miner Culver, in 1801.

CIVIL HISTORY.

This town was formed from " Frederickstown" (now Wayne, Steuben Co.), Feb. 17, 1806. " Being all that part of Frederiekstown in Steuben County lying east of the old pre-emption line." Starkey, in Yates County, was set off April 6, 1824. The town is supposed to have de- rived its name from Reading, Pa. The first town-meeting* was held in April, 1806.

The following is a list of supervisors, town clerks, and justices of the peace of the town of Reading from 1828 to 1878, inclusive :

It contains two churches (Metho- dist Episcopal and Baptist), one hotel, one store, several mechanie shops, and about 100 inhabitants. The site of the village was owned originally by Valentine Hitchcock and David Culver, Sr.

THE SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH OF READING

was organized Feb. 4, 1809, by Rev. John Goff, a minister of the Baptist faith, who came preaching here in the wil- derness in the south part of the town of Reading in that year. Those of that denomination gathered together, and formed what was called a branch of the Baptist Church of Middlesex. Elder John Goff was the first moderator, and Elisha Benedict was the first clerk. The same day four were received by letter, and one by experience from the Free-Will Baptist Church, and Alpheus Calvert and Polly Benedict by baptism. The constituent members were 25 in number, viz. : John Hurlbut and Hannah, his wife, John French and Rebecca, his wife, Lewis Lafever and Nancy, his wife, John Hurley and Margaret, his wife, John Sut- ton and Elizabeth, his wife, Elisha Benedict and Thankful, his wife, Ephraim Ensley, Jessie Whitkin, Sarah Roberts, Susannah Culver, Reliance Wait, Mary Benedict, Anna Hitchcock, Anna Miner, Zelima Ward, James Drake, Thankful Davis, Jerusha Culver, and Rhoda Peck. This pioneer church met in private dwellings, school-houses, and the groves. They held meetings once a month, and were visited by such men as Elder Goff, Ephraim Sanford, Joseph Sutherland, Elder Elisha Booth, Elder Jonathan' Stone, and others. In 1819 there was a general awaken- ing under the leadership of Elder Goff, and many were added to the society. They prospered until 1832, when conflicting opinions on the Sunday-schools, temperance reform, and missions shook the edifice from its foundation, and the Second Baptist Church of Reading disappeared from sight. The last record read as follows : " Church met for covenant-meeting ; opened by praise and prayer ; Elder James Reynolds chosen moderator. The business was as follows : dismissed by letter, 5; excluded, 12, for with- drawing from the church and holding mectings indepen- dently, finally helping to form an Old-School Baptist Church.

" Resolved, That the Second Baptist Church be dissolved, and not considered a church after this date." Dated Jan. 5, 1833.

THE BAPTIST CHURCH OF READING.

The present society was formed Jan. 12, 1833, by Rev. Thomas S. Sheardown, who came here and first preached in "Miller's school-house." A meeting was called to meet at the house of Deacon Russell Skiff. Delegates were present from Hector, Plainville, Barrington, Tyrone, El- mira, Trumansburg, and Southport. Elder A. Abbott was moderator. The new society was composed of 45 members. Russell Skiff, Thomas J. Hurley, and Reuben Lafever were ordained deacons. Those of the old church who joined the new society were Benjamin Drake, John Carpenter, Russell Skiff, James Hawkins, John Hurley, Ann Weaver, Catherine Drake, Deborah Hawkins, Sarah Skiff, Murica Granby, Betsey Skiff, and Margaret Hurley.

The church edifice was dedicated Jan. 4, 1836. Elder Martin preached the dedicatory sermon. The pastors of this society since 1833 are as follows : Revs. Thomas S. Sheardown, P. Shedd, Peter Colgrove, T. S. Sheardown, F. Donaldson, B. W. Capron, A. B. Chase, C. S. Bacon, - - Nixon, C. S. Van Allen, L. R. Reynolds, Thomas F. Edwards, Seward Robson, and C. P. Mott, the present pastor. The church has sittings for 250 people. Present membership of the society, 144. Number of pupils in Sunday-school, 80. Rev. C. P. Mott, Superintendent.

THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF READING.

A class or society was formed here at an early day, but no records can be obtained. Judge Dow was one of the first members. It was one of the stations in a large cir- cuit,-the Cayuga, afterwards the Tyrone, circuit. More latterly it was connected with the Watkins Church, and formed part of that charge. At the Conference of 1865 Reading and Starkey were united together, formning a sep- arate charge, and attached to the Penn Yau district. With this date (1865) the records begin. Rev. J. Ashworth was the pastor, and there were about 80 members at the last organization. Rev. Daniel E. Blaine is the present pastor. Present membership, 85. Number of pupils in Sunday-school, 50. Henry S. Howard, Jr., Superintend- ent. The first church edifice, erected about 1818, was sit- uated about one mile south of the centre; was removed to its present site about 1850, and is smaller than the original structure. It has sittings for 250 people.
