METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCHI.

As early as 1822, Rev. Geo. W. Densmore, stationed at Chenango, visited and preached through here, by way of Lisle, making a circuit. He was one of the first ministers in Oncida Conference. Admitted on trial in 1810, full communion in 1811, ordained in 1812. In 1826, Rev. Herota P. Barnes and Fitch Recd preached occasionally, there being no Methodist organization herc. During the years 1831-32, David A. Shepherd, located at Berkshire, preached here, and held quarterly meetings in the old town- house in 1831, and organized the first society, composed of seven members, Minerva Collins, Mary Ann Ruey, Munson and Experience Clark, Miel Dean and wife, and Seleeta Williams. In 1833, this place was recognized by the Oneida Conference as Newark Station, and Moses Adams was the first stationed minister, the church being built under his pastorate. He was succeeded by Jesse T. Peek, 1834 ; Hanford Colburn, 1835-36 ; Morgan Ruger, 1837- 39; Charles W. Giddings, 1840-41; H. L. Rowe, 1842- 43; Benajah Mason, 1844-45 ; Derius Simmons, 1846; Sylvester Manier, 1847-48; H. Colburn, 1849; P. S. Worden, 1850-52; Noah S. Dewitt Davison, 1853-56 ; George H. Blakeslee, 1857-58; O. M. McDowell, 1859- 60; Nelson Rounds, 1861-62; C. V. Arnold, 1863-64; King Elwell, 1865-67 ; Leonard Cole, 1868-69; G. K. Peck, 1870-72; Charles S. Alexander, 1873; G. H. Blakeslee, 1873; George Comfort, 1874-76; William S. Wentz, 1877-78 and present pastor. The church has had 27 pastors during its fifty-two years of existence. Present mem- bership, 337. This includes a branch society at East New- ark, about three miles east. At this plaec they erected a fine church in 1859, and have a Sunday-school of 100 members, organized in 1848. Present Superintendent, Lorenzo D. MeCullough. The Sunday-school belonging to the parent church was organized in 1834. George Clinton, first Su- perintendent ; O. Ruey, Assistant. Present membership, 308. Royal W. Clinton is Superintendent, and has been for thirty years. Their house of worship was rebuilt in 1857.

A FREE-WILL BAPTIST CHURCH

was located at this place prior to 1820, with a meeting- house on the corner of Main and Silk Streets; Rev. John Gould as pastor. It was in a weak condition, and the most of the members united with the Methodist Church after their organization.

BAPTIST CHURCH OF NEWARK VALLEY

was organized Oct. 27, 1857, by a council composed of delegates from other churches ; among them, Revs. L. Ranstead, J. W. Emory, - Smith, of Candor, and W. H. King, of Owego. There were 26 constituent members at the formation of the church. The first baptism in the church was Stephen Platt, April 11, 1858. Rev. D. T. Leach preached here as a missionary from the Home Mis- sionary Society, and was settled as a pastor June 9, 1860. He was succeeded by Revs. John Branch, Ransom T. Gates, John Ball, Henry T. Leach, Jacob Gray, R. II. Spafford, Win. N. Tower, and Adam H. Todd. They have a present membership of 125. A Sunday-school of 126 members, with a branch of the same at Hull's school-house. Services were held for a short time in the Congregational church, and about 1858 a church was erected. In 1869 a large and commodious brick edifice was erected at a cost of $10,000.

A CONGREGATIONAL CHIURCII

was organized at West Newark in 1823 with 12 members. The first services were held in Wm. Richardson's barn. In the winter of 1823-24 they built a school-house suffi- ciently large for church purposes also, and worshiped there until 1848, when the present one was built. Rev. Zenus Riggs was the first pastor, and succeeded by Revs. Henry Ford, Moses Jewel, Samuel Scott, Joel Jewel, Ezra Scovill, Stephen Califf, Wm. MeNab, and Horace Hubbard.

THE ALPHA METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH

was organized at Jenksville in 1852 with 25 members. The first pastor was Rev. Salisbury. It is now under the charge of the church in Candor, where a more complete history will be given.

A REFORMED METIIODIST CHURCH

was organized at Ketchumville with 9 members in 1837, and a church ereeted in 1852.

CEMETERIES.

There are three cemetery associations in the town-Hope Cemetery, of Newark Valley, New Connecticut, and Union- and several small cemeteries and private ones. Up to 1820 no burial-place had been chosen by the people, burials having been in Brown Cemetery and on private grounds. Upon the death of Mrs. Enoeh S. Williams, Aug. 22, 1820, the people immediately moved in this matter, and a portion of the farms of Joseph Brown and Anson Higbe were chosen ; and Aug. 24, 1820, the bodies of Linus Gaylord and Jacob Everett were reburied in the forenoon without religious exercises, and in the afternoon Mrs. Williams was buried. Rev. Mareus Ford, recently called to the pastorate here, preached the funeral sermon in a barn belonging to Ezekiel Rich, then standing a little north of the house now oeeupied by Mrs. Wells. As this was the first funeral in these grounds, the association thought proper to call the passage through the centre Ford Walk, in memory of Mr. Ford. The north avenue was called Brown Avenue, in memory of Joseph Brown, from whose farm part of the grounds were taken. The first land consisted of half an acre. In 1866 an addition of one and a half acres was

made, and the first burial in this new part was Albert Williams, one of the purchasers, who died May 31, 1866, two weeks after the purchase, and the middle avenue is named Williams Avenue in memory of him. One avenue is named in honor of William S. Lincoln ; another Way- land Avenue, in honor of Rev. Francis Wayland, the Bap- tists in this place buying lots along that avenuc. The south avenue is named Higbe Avenue, in honor of Anson Higbe. Semi-centennial services were held at the cemetery Aug. 24, 1870, at which a paper was read by Dr. D. W. Patterson, filled with incidents connected with the early settlements, and from whom these notes were obtained.

New Connecticut Cemetery is located in the eastern por- tion of the town, at the New Connecticut settlement.

Union Cemetery is at East Newark, about three miles from the village.

BUSINESS INTERESTS.

Otis Lineoln & Son built a tannery in 1845, which was burned down and rebuilt in 1857 ; again burned on Dec. 26, 1876, and rebuilt in three days. This tannery passed through many changes of proprietorship, and is now in the hands of Davidge, Landfield & Co. It contains 140 vats and 12 leaches, uses spent-tan for fuel, and manufactures 50,000 sides of sole-leather annually. The motive-power is supplied by two engines, one of 45 horse-power, for gen- eral work, and one of 20 horse-power, for rolling. Belonging to this firm is a steam saw-mill operated by a 65 horse- power engine, with a capacity to saw 3,000,000 feet of lumber annnally.

One member of this establishment (William A. Lincoln) represented this Congressional district in Congress in 1867- 69. J. B. Landfield, another of present firm, represented his county in the Assembly in 1872-73.

Williams & Cargill have a steam saw-mill at this place, and connected with it the manufacture of furniture, and grinding of fced and mcal,-operated by a 30 horse-power engine, with a capacity of cutting 2,000,000 feet of lumber annually.

THE NEWARK VALLEY TROUT-PONDS

were commenced in 1869, and opened to the public on June 6, 1872. They have a plentiful supply of water from springs on the grounds, are well stocked with trout, and have hatching-houses on the premises. These grounds are much frequented during the summer months by ex- cursion-parties and visitors.

INCIDENTS.

The following incident occurred within half a mile of where young Fellows was killed in 1798, and on the farm where Sidney Belcher now lives. Linus Gaylord was making a clearing, and, on the 29th day of June, 1820, after having chopped all day, against his wife's earnest remonstrances went again to his toil after supper, to cut down two or three other trees " to make his day's work look better."

ELIJAH CURTIS.

MRS. MARY CURTIS.

ELIJAH CURTIS.

Elijah Curtis was born in Old Stockbridge, Mass., Jan. 29, 1786. Mary (White) Curtis, his wife, was born in Canaan, Conn., June 22, 1788. They were married on the 6th day of December, 1810. Had five children, namely : Frederick, born Oct. 25, 1811. Mary, born Feb. 11, 1814. Isaae, born July 11, 1817 ; married to Mary Jane, daughter of John C. Lincoln, an old settler of Newark Valley, Feb. 22, 1858; she was born March 10, 1834; died Sept. 26, 1872. Caroline, born May 5, 1822; died Jan. 29, 1840. Mark Hopkins, born Oct. 20, 1824.

In the fall of 1817, Elijah Curtis, his wife and three children, the youngest, Isaac, being then but six weeks old, started from Old Stockbridge with an ox-team and a single horse and wagon, and traveled thus until they reached the present town of Newark Valley, where they permanently settled on the farm now owned by Samnel S. Watson. The early years of their pioneer life were charac- terized by hardships and privations such as usually attend the early settlers in their endeavors to open up a new country and to develop its agricultural re- sources. The Curtises were of an enterprising and industrious nature; so they overcame the many ob- stacles that stood between them and suecess, and, as

such people generally do, they succeeded. For nearly forty years Mr. Curtis lived on the place he first settled, and at the good old age of seventy years he died, respected by all who knew him. His death occurred October 19, 1856. On the 14th of November, 1860, his wife followed him to the grave, esteemed as a good wife, an affectionate mother, and a kind neighbor. They were both members of the Congregational Church, of which Mr. Curtis was a deacon.

Isaac Curtis, as before stated, was born July 11, 1817. He was an infant when his parents removed to this county, and for more than sixty years has lived in Newark Valley, of which town he is a prominent citizen.

Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Curtis had three children, namely : Caroline Lincoln, born Aug. 25, 1864; resides with her father. Albert Hopkins, born Sept. 11, 1866 ; drowned in Owego Creek, April 6, 1872; body never recovered. William Leon, born March 23, 1872; died August 30, same year.

The portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Elijah Curtis which accompany this brief sketch were placed in this work by Isaac Curtis, their son, as a mark of affectionate regard, and as a tribute to their memory.

AND SCHUYLER COUNTIES, NEW YORK.

ness settled down, and still he eame not. The ringing blows of his axe resounded no longer through the forest, and, filled with a sense of dread foreboding, the wife went forth to look for her husband. Beneath a fallen limb of a tree lay the objeet of hier search, bleeding and senseless. She immedi- ately eried out for help ; and Samuel Truesdell, who was watching a deer-liek near by, came at onee to her assistance, and found her supporting the head of her beloved eom- panion and wiping the blood from his wounds. His brother, Joel Gaylord, Lyman Dean, and others soon arrived, and carried him to the house. Dr. Joseph Waldo trepanned the skull, but without avail. He died the next day, and was buried on the knoll where Mr. Knapp lives.

Henry Williams also was killed by a limb falling from a tree in the woods, on the farm that belonged to the place where Dr. D. W. Patterson lives.

Among the men who have other than a local reputation in this place are Rev. Mare Fivaz, Dr. D. W. Patterson, and Prof. Matille. Rev. Marc Fivaz was born in Vevay, Switzerland, in 1792. Was a elergyman in the National Church, and Professor of Natural Sciences in the Academy of Lausanne, and one of the first teachers of Prof. Louis Agassiz. By reason of the troubles in his native land, in company with Prof. Matille and others he came to this place in 1849, and settled where his son still lives. He was pastor of a Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia four years, and New York six years, spending his summers here with his family. Since that time he has spent the remainder of his days studying the Bible; and is interested greatly in seience and art also, as the works of art collected by him (at the downfall of Napoleon) and still in the possession of his family will testify. He was a member of historical and sci- entifie societies in Europe, and lectured before scientifie societies in New York and Philadelphia. He was a man of fine eulture and ripe scholarship, and died in July, 1876, aged eighty-four years.

Dr. D. W. Patterson is a son of Chester Patterson, and grandson of Amos Patterson, who settled at Union in 1793, and was one of the surveyors in 1790. Chester Patterson was born at Union, and came to this place in 1839, when Dr. Patterson was fourteen years old. He removed to West Winsted in December, 1846, remained till May, 1865, re- turned to this place, and is yet residing here. Since 1865 he has been engaged in writing genealogical histories, and his library is among the best, if not the best, on that sub- jeet in this State, concerning the immediate and interme- diate branches of many families throughout the United States. He obtained the family records and ineidents of the early days from the old settlers years ago, and has more interesting and reliable material eoneerning those times than any one living. Prof. Matille is a son-in-law of Prof. Fivaz. He settled here in 1849, on the Asa Bennett farm ; was Professor of Jurisprudence in Neufchatel. He still elaims this as his residence ; but is in Washington, as chief of one of the departments of the Interior. One of his sons was private secretary of President Lincoln.
