AND SCHUYLER COUNTIES, NEW YORK.

In 1826, nine years after its organization, the church had increased to 70 members. In 1830 it numbered 137, in 1843 there were 291, and in 1850 there were 332 mem- bers. In the year 1850, 46 members withdrew by eertifi- cates and formed the Congregational Church in Owego. In 1852 the session erased from the records the names of 31 members, of whom nothing could be learned. August, 1877, the whole number of members was 375.

At a meeting of the male and female members of the church held at the lecture-room on the 13th of March, 1877, Rev. L. A. Ostrander, moderator, it was unanimously resolved to adopt the system of rotation in the office of ruling elder in this church, the whole number to be classi- fied so as to allow one class to be elected annually. At the same time six persons were elected by a majority of all the members present.

The following is a list of the ministers who have served this church since its organization : Rev. Daniel Loring, euployed from Aug. 10, 1810, for half the time for one year. Rev. Hezekiah May, from July, 1815, to the spring of 1818. Rev. Horatio Lombard, from Oct. 28, 1818, to August, 1827. Rev. Aaron Putnam, from Dec. 6, 1827, to Dec. 28, 1831. Rev. Charles White, from April 19, 1832, to May 25, 1841. Rev. Samuel C. Wilcox, from May 24, 1842, to April 30, 1846. Rev. Seth Williston, D.D., a supply from July, 1846, to April 4, 1847. Rev. Philip C. Hay, D.D., settled from Sept. 15, 1847, to Sep- teuber, 1855. Rev. Samuel HI. Coxe, D.D., supply from Oct. 10, 1855, to Sept. 6, 1856. Rev. Samuel H. Hall, settled Feb. 24, 1857, to May 3, 1864. Rev. Solon Cobb, supply from Nov. 4, 1864; settled Nov. 8, 1865, to Sep- tember 7, 1869. Rev. Samuch T. Clark, pastor, elected Fcb. 1, 1870, to June 27, 1875. Rev. L. Allen Ostrander, pastor elect, Sept. 28, 1876, to the present.

Secretary and Treasurer of the Board of Trustees, George W. Buffum.

The present membership is 380, and the number in Sun- day-school 200. The church is valued at $15,000. The organization is subject to the Binghamton Presbytery.

THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

The first class was formed by John Griffin, about 1813, according to the memory of Deborah Williams, who was a member of the class, with David Thurston (leader), Mrs. Thurston, and Calvin Darling.

The first convert was Daniel Mercereau, then Nathaniel Catlen and Daniel Mercereau, Hannah Broadhead and George Matson. Elder Payne, preacher in charge, started the subscription that ultimated in building the first church some years afterwards, for they were too weak at this time, having only 130 members in the charge, which extended over a large territory.

Owego belonged to what was called Tioga circuit from the year 1803 to 1817, when it was organized into a charge by itself, including several other appointments. Rev. Seth Mattison was the pastor in 1818, Rev. Ebenezer Doolittle in 1819, and for two years after Owego was connected with Tioga charge; in 1822 it was separated and supplied by Rev. Horace Agard. In 1823 the new charge had 73 members, and Rev. Johu D. Gilbert was pastor ; in 1825

Owego had 124 members ; in 1827 there were 175 mem- bers ; and this year the Methodist people built their first church, which was on the corner of Main and MeMasters Streets, at a cost of $2000.

The present church is on Main Street, in the central part of the city, and was built in 1870 at a cost of $53,000. The membership is 406, probationers 57, total 463. The Sun- day-school has grown equally fast, and now numbers 300. The present pastor is A. D. Alexander. This church is in the Wyoming Conference.

THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF OWEGO

was organized on the 28th of September, 1831, composed of 30 members. Prior to the organization of the church there were but few of the denomination in this part of the country. Before and after this period Southern New York and Pennsylvania were occupied by the New York Baptist State Convention as a missionary field. Two of the mis- sionaries of this convention-J. Wise and J. Clark-made Owego their field of labor, where by alternatiou they preached onee in about four weeks. These men came fromn Madison County, N. Y., distant 100 miles, to meet their appointments. Mr. Clark died about three years ago, at the age of seventy-five years. Mr. Wise died about 1840, at an advanced age. There was no member of the Baptist denomination within three miles of Owego, and they were scattered over a distance of ten miles from Owego. An incident of prejudice on the part of an old man, now about ninety years old, then sheriff and justice of the peace, is worthy of mention. Mr. Clark, the missionary, had spent a short time in the village, and, as was his custom, talked on the subject of religion. He was about to cross the river on his journey, when the old man just alluded to followed him across the river and warned him not to re- turn, saying he was not wanted here. This treatment, so undeserved, was not kept secret, and had a contrary effect from what was intended ; it ereated a sympathy for the good old man, and gave an impetus to his work, greatly to his encouragement.

The first place of worship occupied by the Friends was an old wagon-shop, situated on Park Street, about where the new Congregational church now is. H. II. King become pastor in 1854. The present elegant building was erected in 1857; was dedicated Jan. 14, 1858. The building is worth about $60,000, and will seat about 900. The present membership is over 800. It is worthy of mention that this was the first anti-slavery church in this country, and the people were mobbed twice for allowing a Quaker to preach there on the subject of human rights. This was in 1840. The crowd threw rotten eggs at the preacher. Hon. Lyman Truman was in office, and this act made him an abolitionist. Fred Douglass was chased out of Owego about the same time, to which he made allusion some years after when addressing abolition people in the new church. In reverting to those historic days many of the present members, including the pastor, Rev. W. II. King, speak in fervent terms of Philetus B. Peck, who was pastor of this church from 1838 to 1847, the year of his death, as one of nature's noblemen whom every oue re- spected.

HISTORY OF TIOGA, CHEMUNG, TOMPKINS,

THE AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH

was organized about forty years ago. The lot on which the first church, and also the present church, was built was purchased of Charles Pumpelly. The church was founded by Elder Spieer. The first Board of Trustees consisted of Prinee Vanness, William Pearl, Frederick Whittanı, James Hollensworth, and John Boyer. The membership was 25. The present membership is 48. The present Board of Trus- tees are Albert Jones, George W. Jones, Daniel L. Harris, Calvin Johnson, Enoch Cheeks, Thomas Glasgow, and William H. Benson. The present pastor is George W. Bailey. The old ehureh is yet standing. The present church is 40 by 30 feet, one story and basement, valued at about $2500. The Sunday-sehool is well attended, and has 34 scholars.

ST. PAUL'S EPISCOPAL CHURCHI

was organized Feb. 10, 1834. There were three eommu- nicants when this parish was organized, viz. : Mrs. Charles Frederick Johnson, Mrs. Augusta Roekwell, and Mr. G. Worthington. Sept. 10, 1836, the Right Rev. B. T. Onderdonk, bishop of the diocese, visited the parish and confirmed two persons. In November, by adviee of the bishop and on invitation extended through Gad Worthing- ton, Esq., the Rev. John Bailey, deacon, visited Owego and held his first service for the parish in the Presbyterian session-house, a small building on the east side of the park ; service was continued throughout the winter onee in two weeks. In March, 1838, the vestry ealled the Rev. Jolin Bailey to become the settled pastor. In May he entered upon the duties as minister to the parish. The use of the eourt-house was obtained for service. In August, Bishop Onderdonk visited the parish and confirmed 12 persons.

The first ehureh edifice was ereeted in 1839, situate on the south side of Main Street, near the corner of MeMaster Street ; it was 38 by 58 feet, and frequently enlarged ; the number of sittings is about 400, the number of eommuni- cants 125.

Following is a list of reetors :

Rev. Isaac Swart, from 1840 to 1841; Rev. Alfred Louderback, from 1841 to April 15, 1844; Rev. George Watson, from Oet. 5, 1844, to Sept. 24, 1854; Rev. James Rankine, from Oet. 1, 1854, to April 7, 1861; Rev. Mor- relle Fowler, from April 14, 1861, to April, 1863; Rev. George D. Johnson, from Easter, 1863, to Easter, 1866; Rev. Thomas W. Street, from June 12, 1866, to July 1, 1868; Rev. James H. Kidder, Aug. 1, 1868, to the present.

During the last pastor's term most of the old member- ship have passed into eternity, and the present floek is almost entirely new.

THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.

The history of this church during its earlier life, under the ministry of Rev. Mr. Wilcox, has not been recorded. The first manual was printed in 1857, and contained the names of the membership, arranged in alphabetical order. The next appeared in 1867. Both are said to be full of errors, many of which are here corrected. It is now im- possible to know how many members were admitted during

the ministries of Revs. Wilcox, Kidder, Corning, Bartlett, Gould, Tyler, and Page. " Until the year 1838 there was no rivalry between the Presbyterians and Congregationalists ; they preached and prayed and won souls and built Christ's Church with remarkable brotherly kindness."

Among the results of the labors of Levi Hart, of Yale, Seth Williston, of Dartmouth, was the organization of the " Owego Congregational Society," Aug. 7, 1810; under this name it continued 43 years, or until June 4, 1853, more than three years after the formation of the " Indc- pendent Congregational Society of Owego." Its name was then changed by Legislative enactment to the " First Presbyterian Society of Owego." In connection with this Society a ehurel was formed July 24, 1817, by Revs. Hezekiah May, Jeremiah Osborne, and William Wisner, "ealled the Owego Congregational Church." In July, 1831, it partially adopted the Presbyterian Church polity, and elected ruling elders ; for some years, however, the members were allowed to hear and decide upon eases of doctrine and discipline after the Congregational mode. The " elose sessions," however, were always displeasing to many of the church, who were still firmly attaelied to the freedom of action and open discipline of its earlier history. Between 1831 and 1849 vigorous efforts were frequently made to return to pure Congregationalism ; failing in this, several members resolved to take steps towards forming a new ehureli of the Congregational order.

From the records of the First Presbyterian Church of Owego it appears that on Monday, Dee. 31, 1849, " the session held a special meeting, at which were present Rev. Philip C. Hay, Moderator ; William Platt, William Pum- pelly, Franeis Armstrong, Joseph A. Beecher, Jared Hunt- ington, Mareus La Monte, Lambert Beecher, Elders. The following 46 persons were at their own request dismissed for the purpose of forming a Congregational Church, viz. : Andrew H. Callioun, James W. Lamoreaux, Newell Matson, Flora M. Matson, Abner T. True, Lydia True, Erastus Meacham, Betsy Meacham, Erastus Dodge, Merey Dodge, James Hutchinson, Minerva A. Hutchinson, Benoni B. Curry, Maria C. Curry, Gilbert Williams, Anne E. Wil- liams, La Forest B. Cooley, Caroline E. Cooley, Noah Goodrich, Charlotte L. Goodrich, Beriah H. Truesdell, Catharine H. Truesdell, John Perry, Mary Perry, John A. Leffler, Lucia E. Leffler, John Frank, Sally Frank, Joseph Dodge, Charity Dodge, Erastus Goodrich, Gordon Bliss, Laura Bliss, Henry W. Camp, Phoebe H. Trucsdell, Mary M. Hollister, Starr B. Smith, Charlotte Dodge, Jane Dodge, Sarah J. Williams, Minerva Beebe, Huldah Munson, Jeru- sha Ketehum, Jane True, Jane Kimball True."

The Congregationalists organized a district ehureh Feb. 19, 1850, Rev. Richard Salter Storrs, of Brooklyn, preach- ing an appropriate discourse in the afternoon, and Rev. Joseph P. Thompson, of New York, in the evening. The charge to the church by Dr. Storrs was very affecting. Rev. Samuel Corylus Wileox was the real founder of this church. He was immediately engaged as aeting pastor, and services held in the court-house until their ehureh was completed, Jan. 2, 1851. The society bought of Hon. T. I. Chatfield, for $900, a lot on Park Street for a church, May 17, 1851. Their church was dedicated Feb. 3, 1852.

It cost $5100. This church was burned in the morning of Dec. 3, 1877. The congregation now worship in the ·court-house, and have a fine new structure under way, which, when completed and furnished, including the organ, will cost about $13,500. The present membership is 160; the number in Sunday-school, 100. The present pastor is Rev. William C. Scofield.

ROMAN CATHOLICISM.

In compiling the history of Owego we of course do but little beside arranging in a presentable form the data obtained, and yet we claim the right to remark in pass- ing that the Roman Church, so often the pioneer in new fields of Christian labor, was slow to come into this valley, and the confused state of the records rendered it next to impossible to get a straightforward account ; but it seems a church was established about 1843, and in 1854 had a membership of 100. The property, including parsonage and school buildings, is valued at $26,000, on which there was a debt of $10,000 in 1871, which has since been paid.

In 1863, Father Clark organized a temperance society, under the patronage of St. Patrick.

The first society in the church was " the Sodality of the Living Rosary," organized in 1855, the object being to supply the altar in candles and flowers. The second soci- ety, " The Sacred Heart of Jesus," organized in 1868, by Rev. Francis Clark. The third society, "Children of Mercy," organized in 1870.

St. Patrick's School was built in 1860, under the super- vision of Rev. Nicholas Burrel.

The Convent of Sisters of Mercy, instituted in 1865, was changed into St. Joseph's Orphan Asylum in 1871, during the pastorate of Rev. Father Clark. He was suc- ceeded by Rev. Joseph Rogers, who during his term of six years enlarged the church and made other improvements. The priest in charge at this time is Rev. John O'Mara. This church is in the diocese of Buffalo, N. Y.

The Catholic Benevolent Temperance Association of Owego was organized March 17, 1868, by the Rev. Father Clark, with the usual officers, elective annually. "This so- ciety in its special feature of benevolence has a committee for visiting the sick, and when a member dies the sum of thirty dollars is appropriated for his burial expenses, and this association shall have high mass said for their deccased brother. Every member of this association shall be re- quired to attend the funeral of a deceased brother under the penalty of one dollar, unless he give satisfactory excuse to the association.

" Any member secing another violate the pledge of this association, and not reporting the same, shall be fined not less than two dollars, and stand expelled until the fine be paid.

" All members belonging to this association are strictly bound to go to their duty (confession and communion) three times a year, respectively at Christmas, Easter, and the 15th of August ; and for the benefit of this association there will be a mass once a month."

Saint Joseph's Orphan Asylum of Owego was organized April 17, 1870. The founders were Francis Clark, Mary Gertrude Bradley, Patrick Leahy, and Edward Colgan, who were also trustees the first year and now.

THE UNION SCHOOLS.

" An act to consolidate the several school districts within the corporate limits of the village of Owego, and to establish free schools in the same," was passed April 23, 1864; threc-fifths being present. This, after consolidating the schools and providing for the government in detail, the maintenance in suitable school-buildings, establishes the grades as known in other parts of the State.

The consolidation here alluded to was, besides the organ- ization of a uniform system of public schools, designed to embraec the Owego Academy, which was among the earliest institutions of learning in the southern tier of counties. It was organized by a number of gentlemen at great expense, and sustained by them from 1828 till 1869, when, by a voluntary act of the trustees, it was transferred into the hands of the school commissioners of the union schools.

On the 12th of April, 1848, William Smyth, pursuant to engagement with the trustees, as principal, took charge of the sehool, with Charles R. Coburn as assistant. In 1850 it became necessary to build an addition to the old building, which was then divided into three stories; this was changed to two, making more capacious apartments, and the addition adapted to the change. The institution steadily grew in favor, having at one time 253 students and six assistant teachers. Mr. Smyth resigned on account of ill-health; and the present school system, soon after insti- tutcd, more fully met the wants of the rapid increase of the population. The public sehools now occupy six differ- ent buildings, two of which are of brick and four of wood. These are in good condition, and well adapted for their purpose. The academy will probably be replaced by a new building to meet the demands on that department.

The number of children of school age residing in the village is 1309. The number who have attended sehool during the year is 958, non-residents 82,-making a total of 1040; the average daily attendance was 645; the schools were taught 41 weeks ; the aggregate expense was $11,613.33, of which $9500 were paid for teachers' salary. The highest amount paid to the principal, who is also superintendent, being $1600; the lowest for assistant teacher being $350.

The philosophieal and chemical apparatus, nearly all new and in good condition, is valued at $1300. There is also apparatus for demonstrating anatomy. The musical depart- ment is supplied with a fine piano and melodeon.

During the last five years 110 students have success- fully passed the Regents' examination, 64 of whom have attended the academy during the current year.

THE MASONIC FRATERNITY.

It would seem that the earliest settlers were members of this brotherhood, for as carly as Aug. 27, 1804, Friendship Lodge, No. 140, F. and A. M., was formed, and eleeted the following officers : Mason Wattles, W. M .; Joshua Ferris, S. W. ; John Murphy, J. W.

A petition for a warrant, recommended by Union Lodge, No. 30, located at Newtown (Elmira), and Tioga Lodge, No. 79, located at Chenango Point (Binghamton), was read in Grand Lodge Mareli 6, 1805, and refused because the recommending lodges had not paid their dues. Again
