HISTORY OF WYOMING COUNTY, NEW YORK

Miller, Lyman Parker, Josiah Hovey, Roderic Chapin, jr., and Eleazer Smith.

The first church edifice was built three-quarters of a mile north from the center of the village, in 1824. It was re- moved to the site of the present one in 1835. In 1853 it was sold to Rev. J. W. Hines, removed to the south side of Buffalo street, near the bridge, and arranged for dwellings. The new church, which was finished in 1854, was im- proved, repainted, and frescoed in 1868, at an expense of $1,300.

Strong resolutions were adopted at the quarterly confer- ence of which this society formed a part in 1836, on the sub- ject of temperance, and in 1845 and 1848 against the order of Odd Fellows.

The following is a list of the preachers for each year on the circuit which has included Warsaw. Districts have of- ten, and circuits oftener, been changed since the formation of a society here:

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF WARSAW.

The first religious society formed in Warsaw was termed the Union Society. It was composed mainly of Presbyte- rians and Baptists, and it continued to be supported by people of both denominations from the time of its origin, in '1808, and its legal incorporation, in 1812, to 1819, when the Presbyterians purchased the interest of the Baptists in the meeting-house which had been built by the Union Society, and the latter organization was dissolved or lapsed. During the existence of the Union Society both the Presbyterians and Baptists had organizations. The Presbyterians date their organization at the same time with that of the Union Society.

The Presbyterian church was organized July 14th, 1808, by Rev. John Lindsley, a missionary. The names of the members at its organization are Edward Goodspeed, Elipha- let Parker, Luther Parker, Ezra Walker, Abraham Reed, Israel Branch, Polly Day, Prudence A. Walker, Martha Parker and Rhoda Parker. The first deacons were Elipha- let Parker and Israel Branch.

During several years the church was supplied by mis- sionaries and occasional ministers, among whom Rev. Messrs. Lindsley, Phelps, Parmelee, Spencer and Ayer are remem- bered.

At first the form of government of this church was Con- gregational, but about the year 1813 the record seems to

show that it "formed a relation " with the presbytery, though it retained the Congregational form of government.

In 1813 Rev. Silas Hubbard was installed as pastor, but by reason of failing health he resigned in 1814. He was succeeded in 1816 by Rev. Hippocrates Rowe, who preached alternately here and at Orangeville. His pastorate termi- nated at his death, two years later.

In 1817 the first church edifice was erected and enclosed by the Presbyterians and Baptists. It was said by some to be the first erected west from the Genesee river in the State of New York. It was used in the summer season during several years, and in 182t the Presbyterians purchased the interest of the Baptists and completed the building.

In 1818 the church organized the first Sunday-school, one of the first in the State.

After the death of Mr. Rowe the church was supplied by different clergymen, and among them Rev. Norris Bull, who labored with them during two periods of about a year each, the last terminating in the spring of 1821. It was afterward supplied occasionally by Revs. Calvin Colton, E. Chapin, Samuel T. Mills, Amos Brown and others.

From 182ª Rev. Abial Parmelee supplied the church about four years, and during two years the supply cannot be ascer- tained. From 1828 to 1831 Rev. Julius Steele was the min- ister; then for a year Rev. Isaac Oakes. Rev. Ezra Scovel was installed pastor in 1833.

In 1834 the session passed resolutions disapproving of slavery and commending efforts looking toward its aboli- tion.

During 1837 and a portion of 1838 the church was sup- plied by Revs. O. S. Powel, H. A. Sackett, William Bridg. man and others. In 1838 Rev. Daniel Waterbury became pastor, but died after a pastorate of a few weeks.

In 1839 Rev. Ralph S. Crampton was installed. During the following winter the church was divided, a number leav- ing and forming the Congregational church, and Rev. Mr. Crampton exchanged pastorates with Rev. Richard Kay, of Holly, who remained till 1845, and was succeeded by Rev. A. C. McClelland, and he within a year by Rev. Hugh Mair, D. D., who continued a year.

In 1847 Rev. Abraham T. Young became pastor, and he supplied the church three years. During his pastorate a parochial school was established, which continued during twelve or fourteen years. Rev. John R. Cornin supplied the church for a year after Mr. Young, and Rev. Edward Wall during a few weeks.

In 1852 Rev. Stuart Mitchell was ordained and installed; he closed his pastorate in the spring of 1855. In the same year the Rev. Joseph E. Nassau was unanimously called, and on the 24th of October was ordained and installed. The present number of members is 191.

The semi-centenary of this church was celebrated on the grounds of Frank and Edwin B. Miller by the parochial school, Sunday-school and congregation, by appropriate exercises.

In 1864 the erection of a new church edifice was com- menced. The building committee consisted of Augustus Frank, Timothy H. Buxton and Samuel Fisher and. Four thousand dollars had been previously pledged by Deacon John Munger, and other liberal .subscriptions were made. Contracts were entered into with Ambrose J. Armstrong, of Warsaw, for the brickwork, and James E. Ketchum, of

WARSAW CHURCH HISTORIES.

Phelps, as superintendent of the joiner work. The corner stone was laid July 14th, 1864. with appropriate ceremonies. The house was dedicated September 21st, 1865, by the pastor, Rev. Joseph E. Nassau, assisted by several clergymen. Rev. P. D. Gurley, of Washington, D.C., preached on the occasion.

In 1867 a superior and costly organ was placed in the church. In 1875 a chapel connected with the church was built. Augustus Frank, T. H. Buxton and Cyrus Jefferson were the building committee. It was dedicated with public exercises July Ist, 1875; Rev. Joseph E. Nassau, D. D., the pastor; Rev. Joseph R. Page, D. D., Hon. Augustus Frank, Rev. W. D. Mckinley and Rev. A. D. Morse taking part and making remarks on the occasion. The entire expense, including the furniture, was about $5,000.

The first church bell in Warsaw was placed in the belfry of the old church, in 1825. Previous to that for a short time the people had been apprised of the hour by the notes of a bugle. At last, to remind the people that his services had been thus far unrequited, and to give them a hint for the future, the bugler played from the tower a secular tune. The result was his dismissal and a movement for the pur- chase of a bell. The old bell failed, after doing service thirty-five years, and was replaced by the present one.

WARSAW BAPTIST CHURCH.

The history of this church must of necessity be brief and imperfect because of the loss of a large part of the records. The data for the present sketch were gathered from the rec- ollections of surviving old members, and from a history of this church, written by one of its pastors, Rev. A. Morrill, for presentation at the session of the Baptist Association of Genesee, in 1867.

According to this sketch, the first preacher who visited the Baptists in this vicinity was Rev. Mr. Irish, a missionary, wbo, on the 25th of November, 1810, organized a church. One authority says there were fourteen, another eighteen, as follows: Joseph Porter and wife, Josiah Boardman and wife and daughter, Noah Wiseman, John Truesdell, Levi Stearns, Hannah Stearns, John Brown, William Brown, Miriam Brown, Levi Rice, Hannah Rice, Jeremiah Truesdell, Elijah Hammond, Rhoda Reed and Joanna Beardsley. It was first named the Second Baptist Church of Warsaw, because a church had already been organized in Middlebury, then a part of Warsaw.

For several years meetings were held in the southern and southwestern portions of the town; often in the barn of John Truesdell. The first house of worship was half a mile south of the village. Some twenty years later the present church edifice was built. The old church was taken down, removed to the village and converted into a dwelling-house.

The first pastor was Rev. Jeremiah Irons, who commenced his pastorate in the autumn of 1811, and preached during a year one-fourth of the time. Rev. David Hurlburt next ministered to the church one year; then Rev. Jabez Boomer, who was the first settled pastor. Mr. Boomer was ordained August 19th, 1816, and continued with the church till 1818.

In 1817 a house of worship was built and enclosed by the Baptists and Presbyterians jointly. In 1821 the Baptists sold their interest in this house to the Presbyterians, who completed it.

Rev. William Pattison became pastor in 1818, and served the church for several years, during which there was.a large

increase in the number of members. After him came Rev. Leonard Anson for a short time, succeeded by Rev. Anson Tuthill, who remained several years.

From 1827 to 1830 Rev. David Bernard was pastor. Dur- ing his pastorate a large number were dismissed to form a church at Gainesville, and the first house of worship was dedicated. The subject of freemasonry agitated the church greatly during this period in its history.

In 1828 the church effected a legal organization under the corporate name of the "Baptist Church and Society of Warsaw," and David Fargo, Samuel Salisbury and Seth Higgins were chosen trustees.

Rev. Peter Freeman became the pastor in 1830, and con - tinued three years. After him Rev. Abraham Ennis was pastor till 1837, then Rev. G. B. Walling a year. From 1838 to 1840 Rev. Joseph Elliott was pastor; succeeded by Rev. B. Wilcox, who continued one year. From 1841 to 1845 Rev. H. K. Stimson was pastor; in this time Hon. James R. Doolittle united with this church. From 1845 to 1848 Rev. J. L. Richmond was pastor; then Rev. A. C. Barell till 1850, then Rev. H. Leavenworth one year. During the next two years Mr. W. C. Hubbard supplied the pulpit a part of the time. In 1853 and 1854 Rev. Philander Shedd was pastor; and in 1855 and 1856 Rev. H. Smith. Rev. William Cor- mac served the church in 1857 and 1858, and during 1859 the church was without a pastor. It was again agitated dur- ing this year on the subject of secret societies. In 1860 Rev. H. K. Stimson was again pastor, but left the pulpit for the "tented field," as a captain of cavalry. Revs. J. B. Pitman and J. Hough were pastors during the next four years, and Rev. J. W. Crane supplied the church one year thereafter. In 1865 Rev. Abner Morill commenced his pas- torate, and continued till 1867. A. C. Williams was pastor till 1870, C. M. Booth till 1875, B. H. Damon till 1876 and J. B. Ewell is the present pastor.

TRINITY CHURCH (EPISCOPAL).

From a report made by Rev. Richard Salmon to the New York Convention in 1826, it is learned that he had a con- ditional engagement to preach at Warsaw and Wethersfield, alternately for half the time during the year 1827. Again, in 1828 it appears by his report that he had become a resi- dent of Warsaw, and had labored there a portion of the time during that year; "that the service was performed with great zeal and propriety," and the number of communicants had increased. During the next year Mr. Salmon was re- siding elsewhere, but reported concerning this congregation that it was flourishing, and that the Sunday-school had in- creased from twenty-five to between eighty and ninety. Six were confirmed that year by Bishop Hobart.

In 1831 Mr. Salmon was again a missionary at Warsaw, preaching balf the time there, and dividing the other half equally between Sheldon and Wethersfield. There were eleven confirmations in 1832 by Bishop Onderdonk. The Rev. Alexander Frazer, missionary at Warsaw, gave a good report of matters in Warsaw in 1834, and in 1835 Rev. Isaac Garvin reported that he had labored half the time there.

It does not appear that from that time till 1852 there was any other than occasional preaching, though there were some Episcopalians there. Services had sometimes been beld in the meeting-houses of other societies, and Bishop De Lancy conducted one of these and baptized one child.

HISTORY OF WYOMING COUNTY, NEW YORK.

May 12th, 1852, the society was organized, with John A. McElwain, John G. Meachem, Noble Morris, Ransom S. Watson, Nehemiah Park, jr., Richard M. Tunks, Alonzo W. Wood and Charles W. Bailey as corporators. John A. Mc- Elwain and John G. Meachem were chosen wardens, and Alonzo W. Wood, Nehemiah Park, jr., Linus W. Thayer, Noble Morris, Ransom S. Watson, Charles W. Bailey, Rich- ard Tunks and Abel Webster elected vestrymen.

In 1853 John G. Meachem, N. Park and A. W. Wood were appointed a building committee, and on the 25th of May, 1854, a church was consecrated by the name of Trinity Church.

By the will of Mrs. Laura S. Watson this church has be- come the owner of a house and lot for a rectory.

From 1852 to 1855 Rev. A. D. Benedict was rector; 1856 to 1858, Rev. William White Montgomery; 1858 to 1859, Rev. Thomas Applegate; 1859 to 1862, Rev. William O. Gorham; 1862, 1863, Rev. Noble Palmer; 1863 to 1865, Rev. Robert Harwood; 1866 to 1877, Rev. John V. Stryker. Rev. E. Jay Cooke became rector January Ist, 1878, and continues in charge.

FREE-WILL BAPTIST CHURCH OF WARSAW.

This little church was organized in 1833, with only four members. During the year 1834 there was a revival, and some thirty were added. Elder H. Jenkins was the officiat- ing minister at that time, and may properly be called the father of the church. Emery D. Albro and Alden Keith were chosen deacons. October 13th, 1834, the sum of $457 was obtained by subscription to build a house of worship. The timber was furnished by contribution, and the frame was erected by volunteer labor, superintended by Deacon Albro and other leading members of the church. The com- pletion of the house was let to John Blighton, and it was finished and dedicated in 1835, Rev. H. N. Plumb preaching the dedication sermon. Deacon Albro was in truth a father to the church.

Revs. Jared Miner and William Moses supplied the pulpit till 1836; Rev. Mr. Reed became pastor, succeeded in 1837 by Rev. Hiram Whicher, who was pastor two years. He was followed by Rev. H. N. Plumb, who was succeeded by Rev. Silas Davis. Rev. William Moses became pastor in 1843, and remained two years, followed by Rev. A. Hopkins two years, Rev. N. Abbey one, Rev. Luke Hitchcock two, Rev. B. H. Damon one, Rev. Mr. Fessenden one, Rev. I. Wood one, Rev. H. H. Strickland one, Rev. D. R. - Evans two, Rev. Levi Kellogg two, Rev. John Lister, formerly a slave in Vir- ginia, six months in 1859 and 1860; Rev. H. N. Plumb one year, Rev. W. W. Holt three, Rev. Mr. Rollins one, Rev. J. C. Steele two. From 1867 to 1870 the church had no pastor; then Rev. Levi Kellogg served one year; another vacancy of about four years occurred, followed by Rev. M. H. Blackman's pastorate of one year; then another vacancy of about two and one-half years; then the pastorate of the present incumbent, Rev. Benjamin Morey, commenced.

A Sabbath-school has usually been maintained during the summer season. The first recorded name of a superintend- ent is that of D. R. Norris, who was appointed May 12th, 1838. The present superintendent is Charles. Lathrop. The. average attendance has been about twenty.

The salary paid to clergymen has ranged from $100 to $500 per year. The church was always opposed to slavery,

and has on its records strong resolutions against the insti- tution. It has contributed freely in support of benevolent objects. Some years since a few of its members gave $100 each toward the endowment of a Free-Will Baptist college at Hillsdale, Mich., and in 1867 about $330 was raised by the church to aid in the establishment of a normal school at Harper's Ferry, for the instruction of pupils without re- gard to color. The seminary at Pike, Wyoming county, has received from this church more than $500 toward an endow- ment of $25,000. It has assisted other feeble and destitute churches frequently by larger or smaller contributions.

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH AT WARSAW.

On the 16th of February, 1840, this church was organized and constituted by Rev. Samuel Griswold. At its organiza- tion it consisted of thirty-four members, who had withdrawn from the Presbyterian church for the purpose of establishing this. At the end of the first year the church numbered fifty-six members. The constitution forbade the admission of any person to membership who did not wholly refrain from the use of all intoxicating drinks as a beverage, or who countenanced their manufacture or sale; also of any slave holder.

In 1841 a "Declaration of Sentiment " was adopted, re- fusing all Christain fellowship with slave holders-denounc- ing all apologists for slavery, and refusing to mingle "re- ligious contributions " with societies that received contribu- tions from slave holders.

At first this society met in a small building over the mill race, on the south side of Buffalo street, but the site of the present church edifice was immediately purchased, and a building completed early in 1841. It was thirty-six by forty- five feet, and cost about $3,000. It was dedicated on the 13th of January, 1841, Rev. Mr. Ward, of Bergen, officiat- ing. It was enlarged five years afterward, and again a few years later. It was furnished with an organ and remodeled in the interior in 1855.

In 1866 a building committee, consisting of Artemas Blake, Joshua H. Darling, Lloyd A. Hayward, Wolcott J. Humphrey, William D. Miner, Simeon D. Lewis, Lewis E. Walker and Elisha S. Hillman was appointed. The old church, organ and bell were sold; and the corner stone of a new edifice was laid, with appropriate ceremonies, on the 6th of July, 1866, by the pastor, Rev. E. E. Williams. The architect was A. T. Warner, of Rochester, and the builders were Ambrose J. Armstrong, of Warsaw, of the masonry, and Hodge & Son, of Buffalo, of the wood work. Joshua H. Darling, Esq., presented a $2,000 organ. The house was dedicated, free from debt, by Rev. Mr. Williams, August 7th, 1867; the dedication sermon being preached by Rev. Dr. Vermilyea, of Hartford, Conn.

The pastors of this church, in the order of their pastor- ates, have been Revs. Lyman Huntington, Lyman P. Jud- SOD, Reuben H. Conklin, P. H. Myers, Corban Kidder, N. T. Yeomans, Zachary Eddy, John Vincent, Edwin E. Wil: liams and H. F. Dudley.

F. C D. Mckay was the first superintendent of the Sunday-school, and held the position about four years. Charles J. Judd, one year; Lloyd A. Hayward, one year; Seth M. Gates, fourteen years, till 1864; then Simeon D. Lewis, till 1877: since which the present superintendent, L. H. Humphrey, jr., has held the position.

LODGES AT WARSAW-ST. MICHAEL'S CHURCH.

The deacons have been Ezra Walker, Peter Young, Hanover Bradley, Charles J. Judd, Lloyd A. Hayward, Stephen Hurd, Edward O. Shattuck, John Matthews, Elisha S. Hillman, H. A. Metcalf, Humphrey W. Snow, Lewis Martin and James Hurd.

The present number of members is 298.

ST. MICHAEL'S CHURCH (CATHOLIC).

This was during many years a station, and afterward a mission. No records were kept, and the few facts concern- ing it given are drawn from memory. Perfect accuracy cannot be vouched for, therefore, though in the main the sketch is believed to be correct.

About the year 1850 Rev. Father McConnell established a station here and built a church. He was succeeded by a priest whose name cannot be recalled, and he by Rev. F. Cook, who remained in charge about eight years. Mr. Cook was succeeded by Rev. T. Fitzpatrick, the first resi- dent pastor, who was in charge about four years. March 19th, 1874, Rev. M. O'Dwyer, the present pastor, was placed in charge by Bishop Ryan, of the diocese of Buffalo.

The building erected by Father McConnell was not of sufficient capacity to meet the growing wants of the congre- gation, and Rev. Mr. Fitzpatrick enlarged it to about double its former capacity.

A parsonage was purchased about 1870. At the time Father O'Dwyer came there were many debts, and the real estate was heavily encumbered. This burden of indebted- ness has become lighter, and the prospect is brighter than ever before.

A tract of about five acres has been purchased for a cemetery, but it has not yet been consecrated.

LODGE HISTORIES.

MASONIC.

Olive Branch Lodge, F. & A. M .- In October, 1813, John W. Brownson, Almon Stevens, Chauncey L. Sheldon, Zerah Tanner, Samuel Hough, William Knapp, jr., Daniel White, Gurdin Miller, Alanson Curtiss, Adial Sherwood, Ebenezer Turril, Salmon Preston, Seth Porter, Russell Noble, Gideon Jenkins, M. Evans Chester, James Ganson, Jacob Cook, Nathaniel Beecher and Aaron Wing petitioned the grand lodge for a dispensation or warrant for a lodge, to be located in the town of Warsaw, Genesee county, to be called Olive Branch Lodge, which petition was recom- mended by West Star Lodge, No. 205, at Sheldon.

De Witt Clinton, then grand master, on March 15th, 1814, granted them a dispensation for eighteen months, naming Samuel Hough as master, Zerah Tanner as senior warden, and Chauncey L. Sheldon as junior warden. On the 9th day of June, 1815, a warrant was granted by the grand lodge to the said Olive Branch Lodge, numbered 24. This warrant was surrendered to the grand lodge in 1819; but afterward, on the petition of Samuel Hough, Daniel Knapp, James Webster, Jonas Cutting. Zerah Tanner, Nathan P. Lee, Calvin Rumsey and Chauncey L. Sheldon, recommended by West Star Lodge, No. 205, was restored by the grand lodge December 24th, 1823, with Daniel Knapp as master, Jonas Cutting as senior warden, and Calvin Rumsey as junior warden. The average member- ship was about 20. For a considerable length of time after the lodge commenced business it was retarded in its labors from the want of a convenient place at which to hold its

meetings. During the summer of 1826 the lodge, in con- nection with Western Luminary Chapter, No. 89, procured a suitable hall, but soon after it ceased to exist.

Warsaw Lodge, No. 549, was constituted by a dispensa- tion granted on the petition of Jabez Warren, N. A. Sted- man, John A. Hubbell. John Ransom, Guy P. Morgan, D. L. Cook. William Webster, jr., Norman J. Perry, John Windsor, Hopkins Salisbury, W. Ely, Charles W. Fuller, Mason Hatfield, William E. Murray, John P. Randall, Wallace Wolcott, Chester Wolcott, Jasper Keeny, Charles A. Dake, M. E. Jenkins, Alphonso Brown, A. J. Wheeler, William Lewis, Calvin Ely and A. R. Torrey in the spring of 1864. The charter bore date June 21st of the same year. The first principal officers were John Ransom, W. M .; W. R. Stedman, S. W .; and John A. Hubbell, J. W. The office of W. M. has since been held by Gideon H. Jenkins, Delos A. Crippen, C. L. Fuller, Milan Baker, Asa A. Luther, W. J. Service, D. A. Crippen and John Hannigan, the present master. The other present officers are M. R. Quackenbush, S. W .; A. A. Andrews, J. W. ; George Lemon, treasurer; and B. Munger, secretary.
