After the formation of Wyoming county, and previous to the erection of the county buildings, the paupers were kept on the premises of James H. Morse, near East Orangeville. Mr. Morse was appointed the first keeper, at a salary of $200 per year, and he also received a yearly rent of $200 for his farm. Joram Kelsey was the first keeper after the purchase of the farm. The first superintendents after the erection of the county were Job Sherman and Thicol M. Ward. The present superintendents are J. S. Rogers, B. F. Bristol and J. G. Hammond. The present keeper is S. Field. The present number of poor is sixty-two, and of chronic insane, fourteen. Mr. Field has been keeper since 1873. During 1878 the cost of keeping the paupers was $1.10 per week each over and above the products of the farm. The stock on the farm consists of twenty-two cows, four horses and seventeen hogs.

The eastern boundary of Wyoming county is a line six miles east from the transit line or eastern boundary of the Holland Purchase, and running parallel with it from the northeast corner of the county till it strikes the Genesee river, which bounds it on the east from that point to its southeast corner. The area between this boundary and the transit line was included in what was known as the Morris Reserve, which was sold in parcels to different parties after the sale to the Holland Land Company. A portion of the Gardeau reservation was included in this area.

That portion of this reserve which is now known as the Ogden tract includes the towns of Covington and Perry, and a part of Castile. It is, of course, six miles in width from the transit line, and has a length from the south line of the Cragie and Forty-thousand-acre tracts, which is also the north line of Wyoming county, of fourteen miles, one chain and sixty-six links. The Cotringer tract lies next south from the Ogden tract, and is of exactly the same shape and size; each containing fifty thousand acres. A part of Castile and all of Genesee Falls except its western tier of lots lie in this tract.

The western part of the north half of the Ogden tract was conveyed by Samuel Ogden to James Guernsey, and the east- ern part to Heman Ely (in trust for Justin Ely and others). Ely and his grantees made an erroneous survey of their tract, and ran their boundary line at a distance east trom the east line of the tract conveyed to Guernsey, leaving between these tracts a strip having an average width of more than five chains, which strip has since been known as "the gore." All these tracts have been subdivided and laid out in lots; but not according to any uniform plan.

That portion of the county lying west from this transit line was included in the Holland Purchase. The county is divided into sixteen towns, which are laid out with remark- able regularity. Each town in the two tiers lying next west from the east transit line is six miles square, and is bounded by township and range lines, except Pike, from which the eastern tier of lots was taken in 1846 and added to Genesee Falls. The four western towns have the same breadth from north to south, but their length between east and west is eight miles, except Bennington, which has a length between . east and west of nine miles.

The towns lying east from the transit line are less regular. The eastern boundary of Genesee Falls and a part of Castile is the somewhat tortuous Genesee river. The last named town has a length from north to south of seven miles.

HISTORY OF WYOMING COUNTY, NEW YORK.

Perry is six miles square, and Covington six miles from east to west, by four and one-half from north to south. The county contains six hundred square miles, or three hundred and eighty-four thousand acres.

As before stated, the town of Batavia when it was erected was made to include all the State west from the eastern boundary of the Holland Purchase. Warsaw was taken from it March 19th, 1808, and included Gainesville and Middle- bury. On the same date Sheldon was formed, and it com- prised what are now Arcade, Attica, Bennington, Java, Orangeville and Wethersfield. April 4th, 1811, Attica was taken from Sheldon, and included the present towns of Orangeville and Wethersfield.

Middlebury was erected from Warsaw March 20th, 1812. February 25th, 1814, Gainesville was taken from Warsaw. It was first called Hebe. Its present name was given to it April 17th, 1816. Perry was formed from Leicester-one of the towns into which Northampton was divided-March 11th, 1814. It included Castile and a part of Covington. Orangeville was formed from Attica, February 14th, 1816, and included Wethersfield. Covington was formed from Le Roy (Genesee county) and Perry, January 31st, 1817. As before stated, a part of it, under the name of Pavilion, was retained in Genesee county when Wyoming was set off. China, which included the present town of Java, was formed from Sheldon March 6th, 1818. The name was afterwards changed to Arcade. On the same day Pike, including Eagle and a part of Genesee Falls, was taken from Nunda (Livingston county). On the same day also Bennington was formed from Sheldon. Eagle was taken from Pike, January 2Ist, 1821. Wethersfield was formed from Orangeville, April 12th, 1823. Java, previously a part of China, was in- corporated 'April 20th, 1832, and Genesee Falls was formed from Portage (Livingston county) and Pike, April Ist, 1846.

CHAPTER XIII.

THE CONSTRUCTION AND OPENING OF RAILROADS IN WYOMING COUNTY.

P to the year 1843 the regular mode of public conveyance in this county was the stage coach, 'but with the completion of the Tonawanda and Rochester Railroad to Attica, and the Buffalo and Attica Railroad, other roads were projected. No others, however, were built until the year 1852, since which time the county of Wyoming will com- pare favorably with its sister counties in this respect.

WARSAW AND LE ROY RAILROAD.

On the 5th of May, 1834, an act of the Legislature was passed incorporating the Warsaw and Le Roy Railroad Company, and empowering it to build a road from Warsaw through the valley of the Oakta creek to Le Roy, with a cap- ital of not less than $100,000.

The stock was readily subscribed, and a report of the survey and estimate of the cost of the work prepared, which report was submitted to the board of directors on the 12th day of November, 1835. Some delay was occasioned by an endeavor to procure an extension of the route from Le Roy to Bergen, where it would intersect the Tonawanda Rail- road from Rochester. This latter line was found to be too expensive and the project was not carried out. In the meantime the directors found they were unable to proceed with the construction of the Warsaw railroad according to the terms of .the charter, and, the Legislature refusing to grant them an extension of time, they paid back to the stockholders the amounts of their subscriptions, less the ex- pense, and the company was disbanded.

ERIE RAILWAY.

What constitutes the Buffalo division of the New York, Lake Erie and Western Railroad was originally built as the "Attica and Hornellsville Railroad," and extends south-

easterly through the towns of Attica, Middlebury, Warsaw, Gainesville, Castile and Genesee Falls, in this county, cross- ing the Genesee river near the celebrated falls at Portage, and connecting with the main line at Hornellsville.

In the summer of 1850 this branch of the Ene Railway was projected, and public meetings held at different points along the line to arouse the desired enthusiasm. Surveys of the route were made by William Wallace, C. E., of Buffalo, the same year, and the required amount of stock was sub- scribed by persons along the route and at Buffalo. In Sep- tember an organization was perfected and the following gen- tlemen were chosen directors: Russell H. Heywood (pres- ident), A, D. Patchin, Samuel Swain, jr., H. O. Brown, B. R. Folsom, J. C. Bronson, Hiram Cooley and George B. Chace.

The maps were filed Feburary 27th, 1851, and soon after a contract for building the road was made with Messrs. Lanman, Rockafellow & Moore, who were to furnish all the materials except the iron, and to complete it by the first of May, 1852. Before the road was completed the New York Central Railroad, having built a new line from Batavia to Buffalo, sold to the Attica and Hornellsville Railroad that portion of their road from Attica to Buffalo, and the cor- porate name of the road was changed to the "Buffalo and New York City Railroad," running from Buffalo to Hor- nellsville, a distance of ninety-one miles.

On the 26th day of July, 1852, the first train of passenger cars passed over the road, and on the completion of the famous Portage bridge, August 25th, 1852, the entire line was opened for traffic. Portage bridge is said to have been the largest wooden bridge in the world-was eight hundred feet in length, two hundred and thirty-four feet high and contained one million, six hundred thousand feet of timber, one hundred and six thousand, two hundred and eighty pounds of iron and cost $175,000. On the 6th day of May, 1875, this structure was burned. Steps were immediately taken to rebuild the bridge of iron, and the Watson Manu- facturing Company, of Patterson, took the contract for $90,000, to be finished on the first of August, 1875. It was completed within the time allotted by the contract, and is eight hundred and twenty feet long by two hundred and thirty-five feet in height. For the past twenty years this road has been owned by the Erie Railway Company; and it is an important factor in the great line of travel between New York and the West.

ATTICA AND ARCADE RAILROAD.

Prior to the completion of the above named road steps were taken to construct a railroad from Attica to Arcade, passing through the towns of Attica, Bennington, Sheldon, Java and Arcade, in this county. The required stock was subscribed along the route, and the line was located in the early part of the year 1852. Work was commenced im- mediately, and the roadbeds, culverts and superstructure finished in the spring of 1853. Part of the track was laid, but financial embarrassments overtook the project and the work was abandoned. In the year 1870 efforts were made to finish the road, and some work was done, but at the pres- ent time it remains unfinished, although a comparatively small sum of money would put it in running order, and its operation would be a great benefit to the localities which it traverses.

HISTORY OF WYOMING COUNTY, NEW YORK.

SILVER LAKE RAILWAY.

The citizens of the town of Perry, feeling the want of rail- road communication, began in the summer of 1869 to agitate the feasibility of a road from East Gainesville, on the Erie Railway, to the village of Perry. A survey of a route was made in the early autumn of that year by Colonel James Q. McClure, C. E., and his report was presented at a public meeting held in the village of Perry, October 22nd, 1869. At that meeting great enthusiasm prevailed, and the project grew rapidly in public favor. The town of Perry promptly bonded itself for the sum of $10c,000 in aid of the road, and on the roth of August, 1870, R. C. Moredoff, R. W. Brigham and L. G. Morgan were appointed railroad commissioners.

On the 15th of December, 1870, the contract for the grading and masonry between Perry and East Gainesville, a distance of six and one-quarter miles, was let, to be com- pleted August Ist, 1871. The work was commenced im- mediately, and the locomotive announced its first arrival in Perry October 20th, 1871. The first regular train left Perry for East Gainesville on the 14th of February, 1872, since which time trains have run regularly, and the road has ac. cumulated a fair surplus.

ROCHESTER AND STATE LINE RAILWAY.

The first meeting held in the interest of this popular thoroughfare was at Wiscoy on the 5th of March, 1869, and was attended by prominent citizens of Rochester and the towns along the proposed route. This meeting was ad- journed to convene at Castile on the 17th of March, when a report as to its feasibility was presented. Another meeting in aid of the project was called at Caledonia, March 31st, and subsequently at Rochester on the 8th day of April, 1869, at which time the "Rochester and State Line Railway Company " was duly organized.

The route at first contemplated passed through the towns of Caledonia, Perry and Castile, up the Genesee river into Pennsylvania. Surveys were made on this route by William Wallace, C. E., and subsequently another route was located through Mumford, Le Roy, Pavilion, Warsaw, Gainesville, Pike, Eagle, and thence to Salamanca, at which place it would connect with the Erie and Atlantic and Great West- ern Railways; thereby forming a trunk line to the Southwest. In aid of this route the town of Wheatland, Monroe county, bonded itself for $70,000; Le Roy, Genesee county, $100,000; Pavilion, $40,000; Covington, Wyoming county, $45,000; Middlebury, $50,000; Warsaw, $120,000; Gaines- ville, $50,000, and Eagle, $30,000. The city of Rochester was bonded for $600,000. The commissioners appointed by the county judge to issue bonds for the towns in Wyoming were: Warsaw, Augustus Frank, Linus W.Thayer, Simeon D. Lewis; Middlebury, Isaac G. Hammond, Ethel V. Sherman, Thomas G. Cushing; Covington, Duncan Cam- eron, Jedediah S. Walker, Hawley Daniels; Gainesville, Benjamin F. Bristol, Charles S. Farman, Robert F. Shearman; Eagle, Freeman S. Marchant, Beckley Howes, Ira Eastman.

The total amount of town and city bonds reached the sum of $1, 105,000, and the directors adopted the Warsaw route, as it was called, on the 17th of January, 1870. On the first day of May, 1872, a corps of engineers under the

direction of Charles S. Masters, C. E., began the location of the road, and in the spring of 1873 the grading, masonry and superstructure were let to A. M. Slocum & Co. for the whole road. The work progressed rapidly till the latter part of 1873, when this road, in common with many others, succumbed to the panic of that year. The eastern portion of the road, from Rochester to Le Roy, was, however, com- pleted and put into operation on the 15th day of September, 1874. After a series of delays the work was resumed by the contractors, and the road opened to Warsaw August 6th, 1877, and to Salamanca May 16th, 1878.

From its completion the road has been successful, and it is now transporting more petroleum than any other road in the country. The regular and special trains running (in 1879) over this road daily number twenty; comprising one hundred oil tank cars, each of one hundred barrels capacity, and the business is rapidly increasing.

CHAPTER XIV.

WYOMING COUNTY BIBLE SOCIETY, AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY AND INSURANCE COMPANY.

OVEMBER 22nd, 1841, a meeting of persons favorable to the organization of a county Bible society was held in the session room of the Presbyterian church at Warsaw. Deacon Wil- liam Buxton was chairman, and Edwin B. Mil- ler secretary. It was resolved that it was expedient to call a meeting of persons in the county favorable · to the design and operations of the American Bible Society, to consider the propriety of forming a Wyoming county Bi- ble Society, auxiliary to the former. Rev. Salmon Judd, Rev. Richard Ray, and Edwin B. Miller were appointed a committee to arrange the time and place of the meeting.

Notice of such meeting was published in the Western New Yorker November 24th, 1841, calling a meeting for December 2nd of that year, in the Presbyterian church in Warsaw. The meeting was held; Rev. Richard Ray, pastor of the church, presided, and E. B. Miller was the secretary. Rev. J. M. Ballou, of Gainesville, moved that it was expe- dient to form such society, and the resolution passed unani- mously.

The form of a constitution was presented by Rev. J. J. Aiken and adopted; Dr. Augustus Frank, Rev. Pliny Twitchell, and John Crocker were appointed a committee to nominate officers for the society. The committee recom- mended as officers: President, John B. Skinner, of Wyoming; vice-presidents, Salmon Judd, of Warsaw, and James C. Fer- ris, of Wyoming; secretary, Edwin B. Miller, of Warsaw; treasurer, John Crocker, of Warsaw.
