CHURCH OF THE ASCENSION, IN THE TOWN OF ESOPUS.
This society secured a certificate of incorporation April 4, 1842. Rev. Reuben Sherwood was chairman of the meeting for organization ; Joseph B. Cottle and E. Wain- wright Butler, secretaries. The wardens chosen were Laird M. H. Butler and John Griffiths. The vestrymen were Joseph B. Cottle, William M. Johnson, Archibald Russell, Robert 1. Pell, E. W. Butler, James D. Pell, George Kidd, and Gilbert Johnson. The instrument was witnessed by L. M. H. Butler, Archibald Russell, and John Griffiths, and verified before Judge R. A. Hine. This portion of Esopus was formerly a part of New Paltz. The church has a pleasant location, in the midst of tine scenery, surrounded by a good farming country, and enjoying the support of a refined and cultivated people.
GRACE CHURCHI (EPISCOPAL), IN THE TOWN OF ESOPUS.
This society was incorporated by a certificate bearing date July 16, 1845. Thomas C. Butler and Moses Jeffers presided at the inceting for organization. The rector of the church was Rev. Peter S. Burchan. The wardens were Laird M. H. Butler and Wm. H. Butler. The ves- trymen were Charles Lawton, Robert W. Butler, William C. Robinson, Josiah S. Butler, Robert Tompkins, Robert Walker, John R. Humstone, William E. Rutgers. The proceedings were verified before Judge James O. Linder- man. The name of the church at Elmore's Corners re- mains, however, " Church of the Ascension." The following additional notice is furnished by the pastor :
The first Episcopalians who came here were Archibald Russell and his mother-in-law, Anna Rutherford Watts, Robert L. Pell, John A. Pell, and James Duane Pell.
The first services were held by Rev. Reuben Sherwood, D.D., of Hyde Park. The parish was organized by law April 4, 1842, as shown above. Preparatory steps for building were taken April 15, 1842.
Oct. 6, 1842, the Rev. Albert D. Traver was elected rector, and accepted.
The church, a stone building, was consecrated Nov. 12, 1842, by the Right Rev. Bishop Benj. T. Onderdonk.
The next rector was the Rev. James J. Bowden. He was succeeded by the Rev. Wm. T. Snithett. The next was the Rev. Philip Berry. During the summer of 1856 the Rev. Thomas H. Taylor, D.D., of Grace Church, New York, who had a summer residence in the parish, supplied the services of the church. In 1857 a rectory was pur- chased in the village of Esopus, and presented to the parish by Mrs. Anna R. Watts.
At this time John Jacob Astor, of New York, and Herman Leroy, of New York, erected summer residences in the parish, and were supporters of the church.
In 1862, Robert L. Pell donated one acre of ground to the church for a cemetery.
The next reetor was the Rev. Richard Temple, after whose resignation, however, services were maintained by the Rev. Heman Dyer, D.D., of New York, and the Rev. Prof. Hall, of New York, and others.
The rectory at the village having been disposed of. the present rectory, on the church premises, was creeted in 1859.
In 1870 the present rector, Rev. Henry B. Sherman, was elected. In addition to the supporters of the parish for- merly indicated, were S. W. Dumont, George Kay, Ales- ander Holland, John S. Bruyn, E. Berg. Brown, Gen. Daniel Butterfield, Abraham R. Frothingham, Capt. Cal- vin Admus, and John M. Brookman. Several carnest sup- porters of the church have deceased, to wit : Sheriff Griffiths. Archibald Russell, Capt. Adams, and within the present year (1880) Robt. L. Pell and E. Berg. Brown.
The parish is composed chiefly of summer residents from the cities of New York and Brooklyn. The church is closed during the winter months, and such services as are rendered are held in the rectory.
During the year of 1879 the interior of the church was entirely reconstructed and beautified, at the cost of Gen. Daniel Butterfield, as a memorial of his deceased wife and only child.
John A. Pell, a former parishioner, resides in France, and James Duane Pell, since the burning of his country- house, has resided elsewhere.
HIerinan Leroy removed from the parish, and has since deceased, and what was his country residence has become! the Jesuit college.
METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF THE VILLAGE OF PORT EWEN.
This society effected a legal organization July 9, 1:79. John H. Mash and Philip A. Sehryver presided as in- spectors of election. The trustees chosen were Robert

Lyun, William B. Guruey, Hector Taylor, John Marsh, Benjamin Wells. The certificate was verified before Dan- il B. Stow, notary public, and recorded July 11, 1970. This church is a strong and vigorous organization, has a convenient house of worship, and a large congregation. A further notice of this church, expected from the pastor, has not been received before going to press.
MISSION CHURCH OF RIFTON.
The writer of this chapter, seeing a large and substantial stone edifice near Rifton, asked a group of boys playing in the road, " What is the name of that church ?" One bright speeimen of Young America replied, " Mister, the name of that church is a school-house." Further inquiry disclosed the fact that Mr. J. W. Dinnnick had erected this handsome building as an absolute private enterprise of his own, but he gave its free use to such religions workers as chose to maintain serviecs there, and that a good school was also kept in the basement.
METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF ESOPIS.
A society under the above title was formed by a certifi- cate exceuted Dec. 18, 1845. A. C. Fields and Henry I. Brinkerhoff presided as inspectors of election. The trustees chosen were Revinus Elmore, Myer G. Beaver, Alson Hor- ton, James Crowther, Jeremiah S. Terpenting, Henry 1. Brinkerhoff, George G. Elmore. The instrument was veri- fied before Abram G. Hardenburgh, justice of the peace. It was not then recorded, but Sept. 21, 1847, it was again verified before M. V. Wheeler, justice of the prace. This shows work by the Methodlists in the town at a much earlier day than the organization of the Port Ewen Church.
THE CHURCH OF THE PRESENTATION (CATHOLIC).
This society effected a legal organization Dec. 1, 1875. The instrument was signed by Archbishop McCloskey, Viear-General William Quinn, William F. Brady, pastor, and two laymen,-Bernard Gumon, Peter Fague. The proccedings were verified in part before William P. Connor, hotary publie, of New York City, and in part before A. J. Mellen, notary public, Ulster County, and recorded Jan. 28, 1876. The house of worship was erected about the same time as the date of incorporation. It is a handsome brick edifice, having a pleasant location, overlooking the valley of the Hudson for some distance. The pastoral residence is located near the church, and indicates the taste of those who planned and executed the work. The whole is a tribute to the energy of the devoted fathers who estab- lished Catholie worship at Port Ewen.
The several pastors have been Reverend Fathers Phelan, Brady, and O'Hanlon. The latter is at present tempo- rarily absent from his charge by reason of ill health.
THE CHURCH OF JAHVAH (JEHOVAH).
This society, located at New Salem, was organized in 1800, by Rev. Joseph T. Curry, with 25 members. Ile became the first settled pastor. A house of worship was built the same year, at a cost of about 8800, with a seating capacity of 150.
VIIL-BURIAL-PLACES.
These are quite numerous in town, but only a few ancient dates are found in them. At Port Ewen, in one corner of the new and spacious grounds occupied by the Modern Cemetery Association, there may be seeu a few stones of very early date, and evidences of other burials in consider- able numbers. Upon the rough field-stone, then used for marking graves, there may be deciphered quite a number of initials naturally of mueh interest to the families whose an- eestors are buried there. Among these, the oldest seem to be 1766, 1770, 1785, 1788. Possibly a careful study might reveal others of ancient date. The new portion of this ground is handsomely laid out, and if suthicient eare is given to it in the future it will become a handsome ceme- tery. The old part is on a high bluff overlooking for some distance the Hudson River and the adjacent shores.
Other burial-places in town are the following : near the southeast corner. in the part annexed from New Paltz, is a burial-place on the old post-road not far from the Adams farm. Farther north, on the same post-road, is a burial- place near the Col. Pratt farm. In the vicinity of Elmore's Corners and near the pond of the knife-factory works is a burial-place used for many years past. In the Wallkill Valley, on the main road south of the powder-mills, is a cemetery.
IX .- SOCIETIES. REFORMATION LODGE, I. O. G. T.,
is a temperance organization of considerable strength, located at Port Ewen. The officers at the present time ( February, 1850) are as follows: Philip A. Schryver, W. C. T .; Carrie Pine, W. V. T .; D. Jane Thorpe, Sec .; James A. Secor, Assist. Sec .; Lydia M. Mckenzie, Fin. See .; Jane E. Sehryver, Treas. ; Margaret D. Elting, C. ; Melissa Terpen- ning, M .; Atna Eling, D. M .; Gertrude Van Aken, I. C .; Emma Cole, O. G .; Eliza J. Rowe, R. S .; Mary Palmer, L. S.
HOPE LODGE OF THE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
is a society formed in recent years ; has an excellent mem- bership, and a hall handsomely fitted up.
Various other societies of a literary, missionary, or benevolent, character have had a brief existence from time to time, but have left little for the historiau to gather.
X .-- THINGS OF SPECIAL NOTE.
There are no tales of Indian massaere to locate in this town. At the northern boundary, the mouth of the Rond- out is invested with much historie interest. This town, however, shares but slightly in the record. On this side of the creek it was only " Cline Esopus ;" on the other, the " fort," the " strand," the route to " Wiltwyck" and " Foxall Manor," are all suggestive of olden memories and the stories of carly settlement.
In the present town of Esopus there is the romantic range known as Hussey Hill, and a charming valley on the east of it. This mountain slopes gradually down to the Kallicoon Hook ; and southward rises another steep range, the counterpart of the first.

HISTORY OF ULSTER COUNTY, NEW YORK.
The cataract known as Buttermilk Falls has consider- able beauty despite its unpoetical name. In time of high water it presents a fine appearauce, the cascade having a depth of forty-five feet.
It may not be invidious to other places of modern in- terest to add a brief description of an estate that has at- traeted much attention. Pelham Farm is justly noted as one of the finest country-seats upon the Hudson River. The recent death of its owner cannot divest this estate of its intrinsic interest. It contains perhaps 600 acres of ex- cellent land, with a deep substratum of gravel. It is watered by living springs. There are many miles of stone uuder- drains built in a substantial manner.
There are several artificial lakes fourteen feet deep, and connected by light and beautiful fancy bridges. in these lakes are many varieties of fish, some very rare. Mr. Pell, many years since, raised fish from impregnated eggs, and received a magnificent piece of plate from the State Agri- cultural Society for his essay on that subject. He received premiums during his life for a large variety of products and for his well-arranged and finely-cultivated farin.
There is an orchard on this property containing several thousand Newtown pippin apple-trees of considerable age. The fruit is generally shipped to Europe, and astonishing prices have been obtained for it. Eight dollars per barrel has been the price in New York City, and it is said that boxes containing just one hundred apples of choice, uniform size have sold for 88. The method of packing the fruit is to put the first quality into boxes, the second into barrels, and the third quality is devoted to the manufacture of rider. Upon the estate there is also a large vineyard of Isabella grapes.
The wharf belonging to the estate is finely arranged for the immense fruit shipments. Upon it is a large stone building covered with slate and ventilated at the top, where the apples are " sweated" for the ocean voyage. It is said that they will keep nine months after crossing the Atlantic.
Some attention has been given to the culture of peaches. A large amount of stock is kept.
The graveled roads and paths are romantic. The ravines and water-courses are spanned by light and durable bridges. The buiblings are numerous. The cider-mill is very large and conveni etly built. Mr. Pell was a generous employer, and his laborers remained with him for a long series of years.
The mansion-house upon this estate was built and fur- nished in a style corresponding to the wealth of the owner and the extent of the domain. It is of brick, in the Roman style, and painted in a beautiful straw color and white. There are columns in front and extensive piazzas. The building is about 70 feet square. The interior is Grecian. In the diving-room, which is 28 feet by 24, there are many choice pictures painted in Rome, on canvas, ex- pressly for this residence.
In this estate is also comprised a beautiful islan I over a mile in length. The late owner refused to sell it for the purpose of building ice-houses, though offered a high price for it. On the whole. the Pell farm is one of special interest in Esopus.
XI .- INDUSTRIAL PURSUITS.
The citizens of Esopus are largely engaged in agriculture. The central portions of the town are rough, but on each side of the mountain range extending cast to the Hudson and west to the Wallkill there are large tracts of arable land, much of it of fertile soil, and susceptible of profitable cultivation. The soil is a light clay loam. Considerable attention is given to fruit-growing. A very fine quality of apples is produced, rivaling the best production of Western New York or other fruit-growing sections, perhaps excelling them in some varieties, particularly the famous Newtown pippin. The Pell farm, already mentioned, leads perhaps in this production, but many others are largely devoted to this pursuit. Peaches are somewhat cultivated. Mr. A. M. Norris and others are developing fiue plantations of the cherry-currant. The Hudson River affords an easy and expeditious route to market,-fruit being carried on boats and borges without the danger of injury that oeenrs in land transportation.
The general farming interests of the town are concisely shown in the following statement of annual production from the census of 1875.
INDUSTRIAL STATISTICS.
The value of the farms of Esopus, as stated in the census of 1575, was $1,357,065 ; buildings other than dwellings, $215,005 ; stock, 8120,335 ; tools and implements, 816,118; value of fertilizers bought, $1269; gross sales, $93,077; aeres plowed, 2311 ; aeres pastured, 2467 ; acres mowed, 1571; hay, 5137 tons; grass-seed, 2 bushels; buckwheat, 4563 bushels ; corn, 17,653 bushels; oats, 20,435 bushels ; rye, 8758 bushels ; spring wheat, 15 bushels ; winter wheat, 60 bushels ; corn fodder, 1 acre; potatoes, 19,799 bushels ; apples, 17,712 bushels; cider made, 1903 barrels ; grapes, 65,363 pounds; wine made, 245 gallons ; maple-sugar. 74 pounds ; maple-syrup, 6 gallons ; honey, 550 pounds ; horses on farms, 586; mules, 23; value of poultry, $3719; value sold, $1336; value of eggs sold, $4411; neat cattle ou farms, 424; milch-cows, 711; beef slaughtered, 69; butter inade, 71,245 pounds; milk sold, 12,355 gallons; sheep shorn, 128; weight of clip, 571; lambs raised, 83; sheep slaughtered, 13; killed by dogs, 1; swine on farms, 1539; pork made previous year, 148,562 pounds.
MANUFACTURE OF POWDER.
The powder-mills in the valley of the Wallkill were established about 1835, or about that date, by Jaures Howe. At the outset the mills were small and of a primitive char- acter. In later years they have been enlarged and improved. Mr. Howe continued to operate the works until they were sold to Smith & Rand .*
MILLS, FACTORIES, ETC.
The enterprise of B. & J. Arnold founded Rifton Glen. They erected a factory and gave employment to a large number of hands. In later years the manufacture of army blankets was a special line, and at the present time the making of carpeting is the principal work. J. W. Prim- wiek & Co., of New York, came into possession of these mills some years ago, and are still the owners. The re-i-

dent agent and general superintendent is Mr. Luther L. Osterhoudt, who has been in that position for several years. 125 to 130 hands are employed, and about 400 yards of carpeting are furnished daily, besides 2 or 3 b.les of yarn.
The business is a successful one, and the company own about all there is of Rifton Glen, store, tenements, etc.
The first improvement of the water-power at Rifton was for a grist-mill, by Ebenezer Rider. This was sold to the Arnobls, Joseph and Benjamin, who established a cotton- mill that was continued down to 1857. Subsequent owners were Joseph Lockwood and J. K. Ackerly. About 1861 the property passed to J. W. Dimmick, mentioned above.
At Dashville is the grist-mill of William Demarest, now run by the firm of Schultz & Demarest. This has done a large business as a custom- and flouring-mill.
The old cotton-mill at Dashville and a wooden-mill are now idle, and have not been in operation for several years.
The Dashville grist mill was established by Ezekiel El- ting, in 1822. Ile left it to his sister, the wife of Mr. Brodhead. She devised it to ler sons, Ezekiel and Solo- tion, and about 1852 it became the property of William T. Demarest.
A fulling-mill was built by Mr. Elting about two years later than, the grist-mill. This was developed into a woolen- mill, which was operated down to 1865. Previously Sam- uel T. Hull, of Saugerties, had purchased it. The will was burned, but a building was ereetel to retain the right to the water-power, now known as the " village hall," owned by tho heirs of Archibald Russell. The cotton-mill was built in 1832 or 1833, by Thomas Butler, who operated it until 1846. It was then leased by Herman and J. W. Larvy, of New York, run a year or two and then closed. It has been unused ever siner, and is now the property of J. W. Dimmick & Co.
Just above Dashville is the saw-mill of Hull Brothers ; burned a short time since, and now being rebuilt (April, 1550).
The Esopns Flouring. Mill, at Elmore's Corners, was built. in 1860, by Norman Cole, and is still owned by him. There is also a saw-mill at this place, owned by Mr. Cole.
Esopus has but little water-power away from the streams which bound it.
XIL .- MILITARY.
The town of Esopus being formed in 1811, has no mili- tary history as a separate eivil division prior to that date. The chapters of the general history included in this volunie, the inuster-rolls of ancient companies, and the annals of Kingston, Hurley, and New Paltz, from which this town was formed, include events and names of interest to the citizens of this portion of the county, and to those chapters the reader is referred.
The following persons served in the war of 1812:
Fram Degraf, Henry Degraff, Johan Peyo, Pardy Dickinson, Tobias P. l'hois, Theophilus Ellsworth, Henry Ellsworth, Heury Freer, Ista Honghtal- log, Sammel Lefevre, Sammael Ostrander, John L. Plough, Stephen Ter- williger, Makon Thorp, John B. Van Aken, Charles B. Vanwagener, Thomas Wells, John Winheld, Jr., William Wise.
WAR OF ISCI-65.
Oficial Action .- A special town meeting was held at the house of A. M. Norris, Sept. 19, 1864. The chairman was 16
M. V. Wheeler, Esq., and James T. Louw, town clerk, re- corded the proceedings.
On motion of John Phillips, seconded by David D. Ter- penning, it was voted to raise a sum not exceeding $75,000, for the purpose of paying a bounty of $500 to each volun- teer.
Josiah Hasbrouck, Archibald Russell, and Abram Sleight were appointed a committee to raise and pay out the same.
