SCHOOLS.


Since the time Mr. Barker organized the first class in his own house, due attention has been paid to educational matters. Framed school-houses were in use as early as 1810, and Deacon Benton says that in 1819 there were seven good schools in the township.


The Spencer union school building was erected in 1859, at a cost of $1500. An academic department was added Oct. 13, 1874.


From the report of the school commissioner for the year ending Sept. 30, 1877, we take the following :

THE FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH


was organized Nov. 23, 1815, with seven members, named as follows : Daniel Hugg, Achsah Hugg, Urban Palmer,


Lucy Palmer, Stephen Dodd, Mary Dodd, and Clarissa Lake. Until the year 1828, the society met in dwelling- houses, school-houses, and the court-house, the pulpit being supplied by missionaries. Rev. Seth Williston was the first missionary, he having been sent out by the Con- gregationalists of Connecticut. Rev. Gardner K. Clark was the first regularly installed pastor. The church edifice was commenced July 3, 1826, and completed two years later. It is of the style usually erected for houses of worship in the country fifty years ago. It cost $2500, and has sit- tings for about 400 people. The society at the present time numbers 125, and their pastor is Rev. Robert J. Beattie.


THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH


was organized in 1809 by Peter Lott and his wife, Jere- miah Andrews, Esther Dean, Abraham Garey, and Hester Ann Purdy. For many years the society was supplied by circuit preachers of the Oneida Conference, who came once in four weeks. They held meetings in private houses, barns, and school-houses until 1828, when the present church was completed. It cost $2800, and will seat 450 people. Rev. Morgan Rugar was the first resident pastor. Rev. D. F. Waddell is the present one. The society numbers 80 members,


THE BAPTIST CHURCH.


Phineas Spaulding was 'the founder of this society, and preached to his brethren as early as 1799. The society was more formally organized by Elder David Jayne, Feb. 11, 1810, and consisted of fifteen members, as follows: Phineas Spaulding, Susannah Spaulding, John Cowell, Deborah Cowell, Thomas Andrews, Jemima Andrews, Joseph Barker, Phebe Barker, Mehitable Hubbard, William Hugg, Lydia Hugg, Polly Underwood, Benjamin Cowell, Benjamin Castalin, and Ruth Castalin.


Its first church was erected about 1830, and located one mile east of the village. The present one was completed in 1853, costing, with the alterations since made, about $4000. It is the largest church in the village of Spencer, seats 700 in the audience-room, and 300 in the Sunday-school room. Present membership of the society, 265. Present pastor, Rev. Jonathan Nicholas.


THE UNION CHURCH


at North Spencer was organized with thirty members in 1870, and its church edifice, which will seat 275 people, was erected the same year, at a cost of about $1500. It has no regular pastor, its pulpit being supplied from Spencer village.


The Spencer Camp-Grounds of the Wyoming Conference are located in a pleasant grove in the western part of the village, near the depot of the Geneva, Ithaca and Sayre Railroad.


CEMETERIES.


The old grave-yard opposite the Congregational church contains about two and a half acres. Interments were made there as early as 1800. Within its limits were consigned to their last resting-place the remains of many of the early settlers of Spencer; their graves for the most part remain unmarked, and the grounds are in a neglected condition.

AND SCHUYLER COUNTIES, NEW YORK.


The new cemetery about half a mile west of the old one, and adjoining the camp-grounds, contains four and a half acres. It was opened in 1864. The grounds are regularly laid out, and much taste is shown in the ornamentation of family lots. A dense hedge of evergreens (spruce), grow- ing at a uniform height of about thirty feet, surrounds the cemetery, adding increased beauty to this little city of the dead.

The following interesting extracts from the town records are copied verbatim :


" I Robert Hyde, an inhabitant of the County of Tioga and town of Spencer, had, some time about the middle of June, 1807, two children born, Intitled to service, one a male child named Rich'd, the other one a female child named Judy.


(Signed) " ROBT. HYDE."


A DARK CASE.


" To the Poormaster of the town of Spencer, in the county of Ti- oga. This certifies that a female child, Nancy, was born on the 17th day of February, 1807, of the body of my female slave, Catherine, and I do hereby deliver up the above-mentioned child Nancy, to the Poormaster of said town of Spencer, as witness my hand this 20th day of September, 1807.


(Sigued) " CATHERINE DEPUY."


SWINE AS COMMONERS.


"At an annual town-meeting held April 3, 1807, it was voted, '1st, Hogs that weigh 40 pounds or upwards are not to be lawful common- ers unless well ringed and yoked, the yoke to be at least 16 inches long (that is, the sticks of it). Hogs or shoats of a less size to be yoked in proportion to the above."


AN ASTRAY MARE.


" Taken up by the subscriber on the 28th of June, a sorrel mare, supposed to be eight years old. She is a natrel trotter, has a star in her forehead, about thirteen hands high.


(Signed) " WM. BENEDICT.


"July 5, 1820,"


At an annual town-meeting, held March 4, 1828, it was voted, that this town allow $10 for each full-grown wolf- scalp ; $5 for whelps ; $5 for full-grown panthers ; $2.50 for young ones ; $2 for full-grown wild-cat scalps ; $1 for young ones.


In this connection it may be stated that for thirty years after the first settlers came the howl of the wolf could be heard every night, and the pioneers had many hard en- counters with them, and with the panthers, bears, and wild- cats that infested the forests.


VETERANS OF 1812.


Lewis Van Wert, eighty-five years of age, is the only surviving veteran of the war of 1812 now residing in the town.


REBELLION RECORD.


The record made by the town of Spencer during the war of the Rebellion is a proud one. She responded nobly to the first call for volunteers, and every subsequent one was promptly met, and her quotas filled. Her sons were en-


gaged at first Bull Run, Antietam, and Gettysburg, and in all the other hard-fought fields participated in by the Army of the Potomac.


The gallant 137th Infantry (in whose ranks were to be found many Spencer men) was among the foremost to show her colors on the crest of Lookout, and after taking part in nearly all the terrific engagements of the Atlanta cam- paign of 1864, terminated a brilliant service in the march to the sea, and through the Carolinas and Virginia to Washington, 1865.


The town paid in bounties to soldiers the sum of $3435, and raised by subscription, for the relief of soldiers' families, $500. It sent out 108 men, as shown more particularly in the annexed roster of enlisted men.


SPENCER VILLAGE,


on Catatonk Creek, lics west of the centre of the town. It is a station on the Geneva, Ithaca and Sayre Railroad ; also of the Utica, Ithaca and Elmira Railroad. From 1812 to 1821 it was the county-seat of Tioga County.


It contains three churches, the camping-grounds of the Wyoming Conference, one union school, six dry-goods and grocery-stores, two hardware-stores, two drug-stores, one agricultural store, one hotel, one livery-stable, one steam saw- and grist-mill, one water-power saw-mill, one planing- mill, one plaster-mill, one sash- and blind-factory, one mar- ble-factory, eight blacksmith-shops, three wagon-shops, two cabinct-shops, three millinery-shops, three shoe-shops, two tailor-shops, one paint-shop, two harness-shops, one dental office, three doctors' offices, two undertaking establishments, one photograph parlor, one meat-market, one job printing- office, about 135 dwelling-houses, and 700 inhabitants. Four substantial three-story brick blocks, ornamented with stone and iron trimmings, have been completed the past year, and another is now being constructed on the site of the old county clerk's office.


The busy mills, the large number of neat and comnio- dious private residences, with well-kept grounds attached, and the highly-cultivated fields surrounding the village, attest that the inhabitants have not forgotten the thrift, habits of industry, and economy which characterized their forefathers from Connecticut and Eastern New York.


The extensive private grounds of John A. Nichols, Esq., are peculiarly rustic and attractive.


SPENCER SPRINGS,


lying three miles northeast of Spencer village, has valuable springs of sulphur and chalybeate mineral waters. The surroundings are picturesque, and it is quite popular as a resort during the summer months.


NORTH SPENCER,


about three and one-half miles north of Spencer, contains one church (union), one school-house, a store, about 20 dwelling-houses, and 100 inhabitants.


COWELL'S CORNERS,


a hamlet on Catatonk Creek, about one and one-fourth miles east of Spencer, contains a school-house, a shoe-shop, two cooper-shops, and about 40 inhabitants.


JAMES TOMPKINS,


the son of William and Hannah Tomp- kins, was born in Oxfordshire, Eng- land, in 1814. In 1838 he came to America with his mother, his father having died several years previous. James and two of his brothers, who came about the same time, in 1841, purchased and settled upon a tract of three hundred acres in the town of Spencer, Tioga Co., N. Y. James subsequently bought his brothers' in- terest in the tract, which at the time of their settlement was a mere wil- derness ; he cleared and improved it, until it is now one of the finest and


JAMES TOMPKINS


most productive farms in the town. His advantages for acquiring an edu- cation were limited, as he was desti- tute of the means necessary in those days to pay for "schooling," and was obliged to labor to support himself and his mother during her life. Since her death he has lived alone, he never having married. He prides himself in the cultivation of grain and in the growing of fine stock. Politically, he was an Old-Line Whig, but a thorough Republican ever since that party was organized. He is a man of strictly moral and temperate habits, and highly respected by all who know him.
