Father O'Reilly was succeeded by the Rev. Thomas McLoughlin, of New Rochelle. From 1848 to 1860 White Plains was visited once a month from New Rochelle. From 1861 to 1868 it was attended by the- Rev. Matthew Dowling, of Port Chester, Port Ches- ter having been made a separate mission in 1855.

In 1868 Rev. John McEvoy was appointed to the charge of White Plains, and White Plains as a sepa- rate mission, with a resident pastor, dates from that time. Father McEvoy was a native of Kilkenny, Ireland, and had been an assistant in St. Stephen's Roman Catholic Church, in Twenty-eighth Street, New York City, immediately before coming to White Plains. During the first year of his ministry a larger building was erected just across Hamilton Avenue from the old structure, and the congregation moved thither, retaining the old church as a Sunday- school. Father McEvoy became chaplain of St. Vincent's Retreat, in the town of Harrison, in 1878, and died there some time later.

WHITE PLAINS.

His successor at White Plains was the Rev. Bar- tholomew Galligan, who assumed charge in Novem- ber, 1878. Father Galligan was born December 19, 1838, in County Cavan, Ireland ; he was ordained December 19, 1868, and died July 9, 1884. He was at one time an assistant in St. Bernard's Church. New York City, and afterwards in St. Gabriel's Church, New York City. Previous to coming to White Plains he was pastor of St. Mary's Church, at Cold Spring, Putnam County, N. Y.

In January, 1884, Father Galligan's health failed, and the Rev. Michael J. Murray became his assistant and remained such until the death of the pastor. He then assumed the duties of acting pastor and re- mained such until about the 1st of September, 1884, when the Rev. Edward A. Dunphy, the next pastor of the church, took charge.

Father Edward A. Dunphy was born at Newburgh, Orange County, N. Y., November 1, 1845. At an early age lie entered St. Jolin's College, at Fordhan, and was graduated from there with the highest honors of his elass in 1865. He then attended the Troy Theological Seminary, where he was ordained in De- cember, 1868. Shortly afterward he was appointed an assistant at St. Mary's Church, New York City, but was soon transferred aeross town to St. Joseph's, where he remained several years. Subsequently he accepted the chair of saered eloquence in the Troy Theological Seminary, tendered him by the late Car- dinal McCloskey. Upon his resignation from this post he was assigned to Rossville, Staten Island, where he remained four years, until his removal to White Plains, in 1884. A mau of scholarly attain- ments, impressive eloquence and great generosity, he did much to strengthen and advance the interests of the Roman Catholic Church iu White Plains. He remained pastor of St. John's Church uutil his death, December 18, 1885.

Father Edward A. Dunphy was suceceded at White Plains by his brother, Rev. William A. Dunphy, a genial Christian gentleman, who was appointed to this charge December 21, 1885, and is the present faithful and acceptable pastor of St. John's.

St. John's Church will seat six hundred persons, and is comfortably filled at the two Masses said there every Sunday morning, as well as at the vespers and benediction every Sunday afternoon. The Sunday- school, now held in the church, has an average at- tendanee of about three hundred scholars. In con- nection with the church is a society, composed of men, known as St. John's Temperance Society ; an altar society, composed of ladies, who have the care of the altar ; and also the St. John's Literary and Social Union, composed of both sexes, and number- ing over one hundred members. This union has founded a library for the use of its members.

THE BAPTIST CHURCH OF WHITE PLAINS, N. Y. -This church was organized in the spring of 1571, and was regularly incorporated April 13, 1871, with 693

John M. Rowell, Samuel Taylor, George R. Hopkins, James H. Purdy, Richard S. Geary, Sellick Roberts and Enoch Harris as trustees.1 During the winter preceding the incorporation there were held meetings of about twenty persons desirous of organizing a Baptist Church, and as a preliminary effort, the Rev. Jerome B. Morse was invited to and did preach on the 26th of March, 1871. At the close of the services it was resolved to organize a church under the name of "The First Baptist Church of White Plains," and twen- ty-two persons became members. Rev. Jerome B. Morse was chosen pastor; John M. Rowell, treasurer; and Daniel M. Tucker and John MI. Rowell, deacons.

On the 1st of June, 1871, at a meeting of sister con- gregations, the White Plains Church was formally recognized, and services were thereafter held in the Methodist chapel, on Hamilton Avenue, until Au- gust, 1871, when Mr. James B. Colgate, of Yonkers, purchased, for twenty-five thousand dollars, and do- nated to the society, the fine building which had been erected by the Reformed Dutch Church, on Mamaro- neck AAvenue, and which the society continues to oc- cupy and enjoy.

Ill health compelled the Rev. Mr. Morse to resign, November 10, 1872; he was succeeded, AApril 1, 1873, by the Rev. George W. Clowe, who continued to be pastor until June 1, 1879, with the exception of one year, beginning March 1, 1877, and ending March 1, 1878, during which time Rev. J. L. Benediet occupied the pulpit.

On July 9, 1879, the Rev. F. P. Sutherland was in- stalled and remained until January 1, 1884, when Rev. W. W. Covel was chosen pastor and still con- tinues faithfully and acceptably to discharge his duties.

ACADEMIES AND SCHOOLS.

THE WHITE PLAINS ACADEMY was incorporated by an act of the Legislature, passed in 1828, under the management of trustees. A building was erected ou the east side of Broadway (now a dwelling-house next south of the residence of Mr. Jarvis). The Rev. John M. Smith was employed as the principal of the school, and held that position until 1832, when he re- signed. He was succeeded by Prof. John Swinburne, a popular and successful instructor. In 1840, Prof. Swinburne withdrew from the academy, and opened a private boarding-school, which he conducted with signal success until 1851, when he retired on a com- petence. His school was on the west side of Broad- way, in the buildings now occupied by Dr. Kingsley.

A female seminary was founded in 1835 by An- drew L. Halsted, who erected and occupied the dwell- ing now owned by Mrs. A. C. Tompkins, on Broad- way. It was transferred in 1839 to Mr. N. C. Hart, who soon after relinquished it.

The Rev. Robert William Harris opened a board- ing-school for boys about 1535, in the rectory (now

occupied by Mr. Samuel Faile), which was very suc- cessful until his removal to Astoria, about 1857.

A school for girls was successfully conducted for a long time by Mrs. R. B. Searles. It was known as the White Plains Female Institute. It closed about 1873.

At present (1886) there are three private schools in White Plains. The ALEXANDER INSTITUTE, the most important, was established in 1845, and conducted for twelve years by Mr. William S. Hall, under the name of the Hamilton Military Institute. For the next six years it was under the supervision of General Munson I. Lockwood, who called it the White Plains Military Academy.

During the year 1863, Mr. Oliver R. Willis, the present principal, assumed charge, and the name was changed to the Alexander Institute. Mr. Willis has a corps of competent teachers to assist him, and pupils are taught in military manœuvres as part of the conrse. Instruction is given in the ordinary English branches, and in all studies necessary to enable a youth to enter college. The capacity of the school is for thirty boarders. It is pleasantly situated on Broad- way, a short distance north of the Presbyterian Church.

MISS FRANCES HARRIS' SCHOOL .- This school was started in 1867, and is now located on Lexington Avenue, near the post road ; she receives but a small number of pupils.

MISS MARY ADLER'S SCHOOL .- In 1875, Miss Ad- ler opened a school for boys and girls on Lexington Avenue. She subsequently removed to Lafayette Hall, and in 1885 removed into a neat building which she had erected on Church Street. The nun- ber of pupils averages about forty.

PUBLIC OR DISTRICT SCHOOL .- It is not known where the first school-house was located. All that is known is that it was abandoned in 1739; afterwards the second school-house was erected on the highway, opposite the northwest corner of the Squire place. This house was abandoned about 1829, and the school was kept in the academy building until about 1840, when a school-house was erected on the road to Rye, southwest of the residence of Mr. Timothy Dick. This building was burned in 1848, and the place oe- cupied as a school was rented.

In 1856 the present brick structure was erected ; in 1875 a large addition was made, and in 1886 still further additions were made. In 1874, Mr. Charles A. Ganung was appointed principal of the school, and is still in charge. The average daily attendance is three hundred.

CEMETERIES.

The oldest cemetery in White Plains surrounds the Presbyterian Church, on Broadway, and contains about four acres. It dates back to 1730. The graves are all directly east and west, and not in line or at right angles with either side of the grounds.

THE WHITE PLAINS RURAL CEMETERY. - This cemetery was incorporated November 20, 1854. A tract of thirty-six acres was purchased, bounded on

the east by Broadway and on the south by the high- way leading from Broadway to Greenburgh. About 1862, the affairs of the company having fallen into disorder, its creditors were induced, through the efforts of Win. H. Albro, Esq., to exchange their claims for cemetery lots of corresponding value. Under its present management the cemetery is well kept, and is in a prosperous condition.

The officers are Win. H. Albro, president; Wm. H. Huestis, secretary ; John R. Sherwood, treasurer ; and Wm. H. Albro, Eugene T. Preudhomme and John R. Sherwood, working committee.

NEWSPAPERS.

THE WESTCHESTER SPY .- In the spring of the year 1830, Alan McDonald and Minott Mitchell, with one or two others, purchased the necessary material for establishing a newspaper, and employed as editor Mr. Peter C. Smith, a young gentleman from New York, who, in May, 1830, issued the first number of the first newspaper published in White Plains, under the title of The Westchester Spy.

Its publication was continued by successive editors until 1847, when it was discontinued.

THE EASTERN STATE JOURNAL .- This paper was founded at White Plains in May, 1845, by Edmund G. Sutherland as its proprietor and publisher, assisted by a half-brother, Thomas Jefferson Sutherland.

This business arrangement continued about eleven months, when Thomas J. Sutherland withdrew and the paper remained in the hands of Edmund G. Sutherland, under whose managment it became the leading Democratic paper of the county, and so con- tinned until his death, in May, 1883.

It is now under the prudent and successful manage- ment of Ezra J. Horton, Esq.

THE WESTCHESTER. NEWS .- This paper first ap- peared in October, 1871, as a Democratic organ, under the charge of Ezra J. Horton, Esq., and was con- tinued under changing management until August 1876, when it passed into the hands of its present proprietor, Edward B. Long, Esq., under whose spirited direction it has become ouc of the leading Republican papers in the county.

THE WHITE PLAINS STANDARD .- In 1885 Mr. J. O. Spencer established the White Plains Standard as a weekly paper; but finding its management required more time than he could spare from his other business engagements, sold it in 1886 to Mr. Peter Paulding, who now controls it.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

The first fire company was organized in White Plains about 1854, and was known as the Hope Fire- Engine Company. There was also organized about the same time the Union Hook-and-Ladder Company. These companies did good service in the village until 1874, when they disbanded, and for about ten years there was no regularly organized fire company.

SOCIETIES.

THE WHITE PLAINS LYCEUM. - On the 21st of November, 1871, about a dozen gentlemen met and determined that an association should be formed, with the object of providing rooms, to be supplied with periodicals and a library, where young men could spend their evenings pleasantly. They secured the second and third floors of the building on the corner of Railroad Avenue and Grove Street, now oe- cupied by the Telephone Company, and the Lyceum

was opened January 20, 1872. After a few years the association removed to its present comfortable quar- ters, over Mr. Samuel Hopper's store.

Under the auspices of the Lyecum, a course of lec- tures and entertainments are given every winter, the last of which has usually been a dramatic perform- anee by local amateurs. The professional talent en- ployed has been of the very best, and the amateur entertainments have always been welcomed with crowded audiences and have produced an exalted opinion of the dramatic talent of some of the citizens.

THE IONIC LODGE was the first Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons in White Plains. It was organized under a dispensation from the Grand Lodge of the State of New York, and held its first meeting Febru- ary 1, 1853. It never held but three or four meetings. John P.

BIOGRAPHY.

DAVID CROMWELL.

Several branches of the Cromwell family in Amer- ica are descended from Colonel John, third son of Richard Cromwell, and brother of the renowned Pro- tector, Oliver Cromwell. John Cromwell, son of Colonel John, emigrated from Holland to New Neth- crland, and in 1686 was a resident at Long Neek, in W'estehester County, afterwards known as Cromwell's Neck. He left two sons-John and James. The lat- ter was born in 1696 and died in 1770, leaving three children-John, James and William. John Crom- well, the oldest son, was a resident of Harrison, born December 5, 1737. He married Anna Hopkins, of Long Island, and they were the parents of eight children-James, Daniel, John, Joseph, William, Naomi (wife of Rev. Mr. Halstead), Esther (wife of John Griffin, Jr., of North Castle), and Hannah (wife of William Field of Cortlandt.

John Cromwell, the father of this family, was an aetive patriot during the Revolution, endured many hardships in the cause of liberty, and died at an ad- vanced age in 1805.

James Cromwell, the oldest son, was born Novem- ber 6, 1752, and in early life worked on the farm of General Lewis Morris, at Morrisania. This dwelling

was near " Cromwell's Creek," which derived its name from him, and after remaining here several years he removed to New York, where he conducted a grocery business, and at a later date purchased a farm in the town of Monroe, Orange County (then known as Southfield), where he passed the remainder of his days, and died December 23, 1828. He married Charlotte, daughter of Aaron Hunt, of Greenwich, Conn., and left twelve children-Hannah (wife of David Griffin), Rebecca (wife of George Fritts), Daniel, James, Oli- ver, Ann (wife of John Haviland), David, Aaron, William, Mary (twins who died young), William and John.

John, the last named, was born in Monroe, July 26, 1803, engaged in business in New York, and having earned a modest competence, purchased a farm of one hundred acres in New Windsor, Orange County, where he resided during the remainder of his life. He was a life-long member of the Society of Friends, known and honored as a useful and worthy citizen and faithful in the performance of all the duties of life. He married Letitia, daughter of Abijah and Patience Haviland, of White Plains, N. Y., and they were the parents of four children-Walter, residing in California; James, of Bedford, Westchester Coun- ty ; Oliver, of New Windsor (died June 11, 1885), and David. Mrs. Letitia Cromwell died in 1861, and Mr. Cromwell was subsequently married to Elizabeth, daughter of Charles and Ann (Conklin) Cox, of New- burgh.

David Cromwell was born in New York May 25, 1838, and at the age of eight years removed with his parents to New Windsor, N. Y. His early education was obtained at the Cornwall Collegiate School, from which he graduated as a civil-engineer and surveyor, and after practicing his profession for about one year he went to New York and embarked in the grain trade. In 1862 he came to East Chester and established a store, where he conducted business until 1879. In 1877 he was elected supervisor of East Chester, and re-elected in 1878. In the fall of 1878 he was unani- mously nominated by the Republican party as their candidate for the responsible office of county treas- urer, and was elected over George W. Davids (Demo- crat), who had held the office for three years and was running for re-election. The faithfulness and ability exhibited by Mr. Cromwell in the performance of his official duties led to his re-election in 1881 by an in- creased majority, and in 1884 he was elected for a third term by a majority of about seven hundred, not- withstanding that the county gave a Democratic ma- jority of over thirteen hundred on the electoral ticket. His ability and integrity commanded the votes of thinking men of all parties. He married Fannie, daughter of Thomas W. and Julia Deuel, of New York City, December 3, 1873. Their children are Fannie May, born May 23, 1876, and John Chester, born July 29, 1878.
