GASKILL'S CORNERS,

a hamlet situated on Little Nanticoke Creek, five miles northeast of Owego, a little north of the centre of the town. It received its name from Joseph Gaskill, who came into the town from Richmond, Cheshire Co., N. H., his

native plaec, March 20, 1789. Hc first settled on the farm now occupied by Peter E. Cart, and came to the Corners in April, 1822. He was born in 1780, and died June 19, 1866. The first settler in the immediate vicinity of the Corners was Elijah Walter, who came from Massa- chusetts in June, 1817, and settled on the farm now owned by his son, William Walter. A post-office was established at the Corners in 1867, and Clark Green was appointed postmaster ; the present incumbent is James Walter. The Corners now contain two general stores, one private and one under the supervision of the grange; one butter- and cheese-factory, which receives the milk from 500 cows, es- tablished in 1866, by G. R. Curtis, Joseph A. Blanchard, and others ; one saw-mill, one blacksmith-shop, two wagon- and repair-shops, and about 50 houses.

SOUTH OWEGO,

a hamlet of a few houses, in the southern part of the town, so called from a post-office having been established there in 1840. The first postmaster was Stephen B. Leonard, who was succeeded by Caleb Lamb, and he by the present in- cumbent, Benjamin F. Hewitt.

SOUTH APALACHIN

is a post-office located on Apalachin Creek, in the southeast part of the town. It is chiefly noted as being the seat of the Free-Will Baptist Church, organized there in 1816. The Notewares and other families settled at an early day in its vicinity. It is a settlement in a good agricultural region.

THE MANUFACTURING INTERESTS

of the northern part of the town of Owego are represented by the following establishments, namely :

THE FLOURING-MILLS,

known as "The Red Mills," situated on Owego Creek, were built in 1820, by Messrs. Platt & Turner. The mills are now operated by John T. Pettibone, who took possession in 1853. There are three run of stone, and the annual capacity is about 20,000 bushels, exclusively custom work.

FOSTER'S SAW-MILLS.

The saw-mill known as the " Lower Mill" was built by Willard Foster in 1826. It is still owned by the estate, and is used also as a grist-mill. The " Upper Mill" was erected by Daniel R. Foster in 1833. It stood for thirty- seven years, and in 1870 it was replaced by the present mill, owned by Leonard Foster, son of the original proprietor.

The saw-mill now operated by Messrs. Cornell & Inger- soll was erected by Cornelius Potter about 1840. These saw-mills arc all located on the Little Nanticoke.

The Walter saw-mill was built by William Walter, in 1872, on the site of one built about 1830, by Joseph Gaskill. The dam was constructed in 1830 by Elijah Walter, father of William, who came in from Stockbridge, Mass., in 1817, and settled on the farm where his son now resides. The mill is located on the west branch of the Little Nanticoke.

THE STEAM SAW- AND GRIST-MILLS

now operated by John D. Weed, located on the river, about one mile from the south end of the bridge, was originally

161

AND SCHUYLER COUNTIES, NEW YORK.

built by James Pumpelley and John Drake, about 1826, and stood until 1865, when it was washed away by a freshet. Jacob Hand then purchased the site, and erected a mill thereon, which was destroyed by fire July 3, 1874. The present mill was built by John D. Weed in the fall of 1876. The capacity of the saw-mill is about 2,500,000 feet per annum, that of the grist-mill 30,000 bushels of feed.

THE STEAM SAW-MILL,

now owned by Burr Duane, was erected by John Duel about 1856, and has a capacity for about 1,000,000 feet of lumber per annum.

THE BOSTWICK MILL

was built by Martin Bostwick, an enterprising citizen of the town of Owego, about 1868. It is now operated by Chatfield & Coe. Capacity, about 1,500,000 feet.

APALACHIN STEAM FLOURING- AND SAW-MILLS

were created by W. J. Gaskill, Jan. 1, 1870. The grist- mill has three run of stones, and ground last year 15,000 bushels of custom flour, 2000 barrels of merchant, 1000 barrels of buckwheat, 10,000 bushels of rough feed, 300 tons of plaster ; the saw-mill, 500,000 feet of lumber.

DAVID R. GARRISON'S STEAM SAW-MILL,

located on Apalachin Creek, about three-fourths of a mile from the Pennsylvania line, is capable of sawing about 2,225,000 feet per annum.

MeNEIL'S STEAM SAW AND PLANING-MILLS,

at Campville, are the most extensive manufactory of their class in the town, and among the largest in the county. The building was erected by R. C. MeNeil, in 1876, the main part being 50 by 100 feet; the extension for board- way and office, 50 by 24 feet. It is supplied with one five- feet American inserted-tooth saw ; the " Climax" carriage of Barnes & Co., arranged to saw from 4 to 60 feet in length, and adjustable to any desired length by extensions ; a double engine, 100 horse-power, of the New York Steam-Engine Works; a boiler of the Hawley Manufac- turing Co., of Lockport, upright, about 8 by 12 feet, 630 flues ; a rotating surfacer and combined planer and matcher ; shingle-, lath-, and feed-mills; an iron engine-lathe, back gear, 36 inches swing by 12 feet bed, and a wood lathe, for handles, with patent milling attachment; a large Wright's patent seroll-saw ; and other wood-working machines. The capacity of the saw-mill is from 10,000 to 15,000 feet per day (10 hours), and 20 men are required to run the estab- lisliment to its full capacity.

RELIGIOUS.

THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH*

at Flemingville was first organized as a class about the year 1811, with Thomas Stocky and David Fleming as its first leaders. Among the early members were Walter Herrick, Minerva Herrick, Elisha Forsyth, Freelove Forsyth, Mrs.

Parks, David Darling and wife, Richard Scarles and wife. The church edifice was erected in 1834, during the ministry of Revs. Alanson Wood and Sylvester Minear. The first Board of Trustees consisted of David Fleming, Walter Herrick, Robert L. Fleming, John M. Grimes, George Mead, Robert Cole, and James Ireland. The present pas- tor is Rev. N. S. Dewitt.

THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF SOUTH OWEGO was organized May 20, 1856, though a class had been formed as early as 1830. The first Board of Trustees con- sisted of Ezra Tallmadge, Caleb Lamb, Russel D. Gifford, Smith Gould, William G. Knight, Clark Beecher, and H. B. Gifford. Their house of worship was erected in 1856, at a cost of $1200, or about one-third of its present value. It will comfortably seat 200 persons. The first regular pastor was Rev. Joseph Whitham. though Rev. John Griffin, one of the pioneer Methodist preachers of this part of the country, had preached to the class prior to that time. The present pastor is Rev. Melvin E. Bram- hall. The trustees (as given by Mr. Charles S. Hills) are George Slawson, David Harris, Smith Gould, Chester Graves, and Charles S. Hills. The present membership, about 60; Superintendent Sunday-school, John Boyee; number of teachers and scholars, 80.

CAMPVILLE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCHI.

A Methodist elass was formed at Campville probably as early as 1820, although no church records exist prior to 1833. At the latter date, Rev. Marmaduke Pierce was pastor of the church. The present church edifice was erected 1854. The present membership is 37; Pastor, Rev. H. C. McDermott, who is also Superintendent of the Sunday-school, which numbers 50 teachers and scholars. The present board of trustees consists of G. L. Severson, Michael Livingston, and Zenas Case.

statistics, as given in last minutes of Wyoming Conference, for Mr. Loomis' charge : members of church, 103; officers and teachers in Sunday-school, 33; scholars, 180.

THE FIRST WESLEYAN METHODIST CHURCH,

at Apalaehin, was organized with 13 members, Feb. 25, 1850, by Rev. Matthew Dearstine, its first pastor. Their house of worship was ereeted in 1871, at a cost of $1500, and was dedicated on the 11th of December of that year. The building is of wood, and will comfortably seat 200 persons. The present pastor is Rev. W. S. Fessenden ; membership, 53.

THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

at Apalaehin was formed with five members, in 1855, through the efforts of Mrs. Margaret Camp and the Rev. O. N. Benton, who remained with the church until the breaking out of the Rebellion, when he accepted a chap- laincy in the 51st Regiment, New York Voluntcer Infantry, and was killed at the battle of Newbern, N. C., March 14, 1864. His remains are interred in Owego, and fill a sol- dier's grave. The removal of Mr. Benton was a great loss to the congregation, which has not been in nearly as flour- ishing a condition since. In 1856 they erected a commo- dious church edifiee, at a cost of $3000. It is of wood, and has a seating capacity for 300 persons. The last pastor (who ceased his labors with the church this year, 1878) was Rev. John C. Calnon ; the present Trustees arc James F. Camp, Asher Holmes, John Townsend, Alfred Griffin, and Aaron Steele ; Elders, Isaac W. Ayer, James F. Camp, and Alfred Griffin. The number of communicants is 20.

THE FIRST FREE-WILL BAPTIST CHURCH OF OWEGO,

located at South Apalachin, was originally organized at Little Meadows, in the town of Apalachin, Pa. (then the town of Choconut). The society embraced two neighbor- hoods, one at Little Meadows, and the other at South Apa- laehin, where the meetings were held alternately. The church was formed in October, 1816, by Rev. John Gould, its first pastor. There were fourteen constituent members. The first church edifice was erected in 1844, and was de- stroyed by fire in 1859. The present one, which will seat 200 persons, was built in 1865, at a cost of $1500. The present pastor is Rev. D. D. Brown; Trustees, F. H. Note- ware, F. D. Coffin, and W. H. Coffin. Membership, 54; number of teachers and scholars in Sunday-school, 75; Superintendent of Sunday-school, W. H. Coffin. The church and Sunday-school are both in a prosperous con- dition.

THE FREE-WILL BAPTIST CHURCH

at Apalachin was formed in 1869, by Rev. H. S. Ball, its first pastor. The church building was erected in 1874, at a cost of $3000. It will seat 250 persons. The present membership is 45 ; Pastor, Rev. W. H. Witcher ; Trustees, David M. Lamont, John Sherwood, William Thompson, William Sherwood, and Josiah Mead. The Sunday-school has a membership of 70 teachers and scholars; Superin- tendent, George Sherwood. Church and Sunday-school reported flourishing.

EDUCATIONAL AND GENERAL.

The educational interests of Owego, both town and vil- lage, received the attention of the settlers at an early day. In fact, as soon as a sufficient number of families settled within a radius of four or five miles, a primitive school- house was erected, and some one among the pioneers whose educational acquirements qualified him or her, as the case might be, was chosen teacher, and paid by the parents of the children attending. This was the way the youth re- ceived the modicum of learning bestowed in “ye olden time," when the services of the youth were required to clear the land and assist in tilling the soil, as soon as ever their muscular development was capable of wielding the implements of agricultural industry. On the inauguration of the present exeellent system of public instruction, a greater interest was manifested in educational matters. The people were better able to dispense with the labor of the youth until such time as they had acquired at least the rudiments of a good, sound education, which by self-appli- cation could be, and very often was, bettercd to a commend- able extent, as is shown by the general intelligence of the passing generation.

As an evidence of the rapid growth and steady develop- ment of educational facilities, we quote the subjoined sta- tisties, from the annual report of the Commissioner of Schools, for the year ending Sept. 30, 1877 :

Number of districts, 37 ;* number of teachers employed, 36; number of children of sehool age, 1616; number of children attending school, 2389; average daily attendanee, 797 ; number of volumes in school library, 1952; value of library, $630 ; number of school-houses, 36 (frame) ; value of school-house sites, $2717; value of school-houses and sites, $24,822 ; assessed valuation, $1,424,844.
