A SCHOOL ORGANIZED.
in one corner of the Dutch fire place, and then literally buried it in coals. This kettle was also used to bake beans and bread. Potatoes were sometimes roasted in the coals, and sometimes boiled in the kettle hung over the log fire by a chain attached to the " lug pole." The first Summer we lived in Zoar, our milling was done at Taylor Hollow, and I was the mill-boy. Father went with me the first time to show me the way, as it was an unbroken forest. We followed an Indian trail down the creek, and still kept the Indian path up over Poverty Hill to Aldrich's in Lodi, thence up Clay Hill and on to Taylor's mill. The way we then went it was nearly eleven miles, and I had to make it every week on horseback, with a grist of corn behind me, for there were twelve hungry mouths in my father's family to feed. Wild cats, bears and deer, were not an uncom- mon thing to be seen on my way, and, though never molested, still at times it was hard work for me to keep my hat on my head when I saw these creatures creeping through the under- brush."
To show our modern belles and beaux the styles of those days, I must tell you that the first year of the war, I wore "nettle cloth" for shirts, and my pants were made of buck- skin. On the " Jockey lot " nettles grew abundant and thrifty ; we mowed them down and let them lay, as you would flax, until the stalks become thoroughly rotten, then they were taken to the brake and then spun and woven as you would flax ; most all the thread mother used the first year of the war was of this material.
The next year others began to settle ; Jesse Frye came from Buffalo, bringing two young men with him, Samuel Cronch and Samuel Rose, whom he hired to assist him in building a log house on his lot. He returned to Buffalo and on the 20th of July he came back with his family. Soon after came Wood- ward Stevens, Ira Watterman, Simeon Watterman, Phineas Orr, Joseph Bartlet and Otis Wheelock. As there were several children now in the new settlement in need of education, a school was organized and Simeon Watterman was hired to teach it. The school was held in the west end of Peter Pratt's house : from the Frye family there were four scholars, namely : Enoch, James, Mack and Betsy ; from the Pratt family five,
566
WAR VESSELS IN BUFFALO HARBOR.
Daniel, John, Hopy, Philip and Susy ; from the Adams family, two, Wilson and Electa; this was seventy-two years ago, and but four of these scholars are alive to-day ; little "Phil" is a gray-haired youth of eighty; Enoch and John are sober boys at eighty-three, while red-haired and fun-loving Mack is the same old six-pence in his eightieth year.
The next year many events took place in the little settlement, the war bugle had been sounded and all but two were subject to draft, " President " Adams and "Captain " Pratt, by reason of their age, were exempt from military duty. The "Captain " went back to Clarance, by the way of Buffalo, after an invalid daughter and his family, and was in Buffalo the day that the British war vessels, the Royal George and Queen Charlotte sailed up in front of Buffalo harbor and lay there all day. Not a pound of powder was there in the town to load a gun, and, had there been any disposition on the part of the Red Coats to have taken the place they could have done so without meet- ing with any resistance.
The people were so filled with fear, that they betook them- selves to their cellars and remained there until these vessels had hoisted sail and passed out of sight up the lake. The bat- tle of the Raisen had been fought, and Mr. Pratt, in detailing some of the incidents that took place, spoke of three orphan children whom he found in Clarance, whose mother was dead and their father had been killed in that battle. Those children had in some way got back to Clarance from the west, and were homeless and without friends ; as soon as Adams heard this, tears came to his eyes, and he persuaded the Captain to return to Clarance immediately and bring those children back with him, which he did, and they ever afterwards found a kind home in the Adams family. The names of those children were Tan- ner, Polly, Hannah and James; Mr. Pratt would have willingly cared for these children, but he had already taken charge of three orphans, the children of Mrs. Cox, who died that Sum- mer-this was the daughter he moved from Clarance, and this was the first death in Zoar. She lies buried back on the rise of land under the hill, on the old Peter Pratt farm.
As the season advanced, the war clouds grew darker and
567
RETREAT OF BINA ADAMS.
more threatening. Levies were made for new troops to pro- tect the borders. The men that were drafted in Zoar, were Bina Adams, Jesse Frye, Simeon Watterman, Luther Pratt and Elisha Cox. These soldiers with their wives, sweet-hearts and friends, met at the house of Peter Pratt on the morning of their departure, and the final leave-taken was quite affecting, one incident in particular will show that humor will out, let the heart he ever so sad -- Mrs. Frye halloocd after the " squire," as his fat form lessened in the distance, "that if wounded, she never wanted to hear that he was hit in the back."
Our school continued through the Winter, with Otis Wheelock as teacher, with the addition of four new scholars, the three Tanner children, Polly, Hannah and James, and Eli Cox. The school was kept in a shanty, built by Mr. Pratt for his married daughter, Mrs. Cox, and then made vacant by her death. Nothing transpired that Winter worthy of note, until the news came of the burning of Buffalo, Bina Adams, when ordered to retreat had done so, not making a halt until he reached Zoar. He came out by way of Williamsville, and then through to Yorkshire ; from there he followed the creek down to Zoar.
Mr. Pratt tells of Bina coming into school on his retreat, and the first words spoken by him were " Buffalo's burnt." School was out, and we did not wait to say "by your leave " to the teacher, but hurried home as fast as our legs would carry us with the news, but Bina had been there before us and he not only told of the burning, but he told a great deal more besides that was interesting, he said " all that saved my scalp was that my legs did their duty," and that the "British had hired all the Senecas to scalp all the Americans; and that they were on their way then with barbarous intent, and that we might expect a lively time when they did come." The next day the settlers held a council at my father's, says Mr. Pratt, and it was decided that our safety lay beyond the "Genesee," and the settlers went so far as to dig pits to store their goods in; Mr. Pratt tells that his father was the possessor of a horse, and that he prevailed upon the settlers, not to flee until he rode to some place and received something more definite. He set out to- wards Buffalo, by way of Townsend Hill, and through by
568
BRITISH INVADERS BURN BUFFALO.
Boston and Hamburg, when he arrived at the latter place he learned that the Seneca Indians, if anything, were more fright- ened than the whites, and that was needless ; that they had hurriedly left the reservation and gone, bag and baggage, be- yond the " Genesee."
The British invaders, with their hair-raising allies, after burn- ing Buffalo and killing several persons, had returned to their * own country.
No longer does the tri weekly stage swing to and fro through this valley from the "Green" to " Lodi," as it used to, and Bill, the driver, is Old Bill now, if alive, but I suspect he has gone to the higher sphere and drives a golden chariot. He was as regular as vibrates the pendulum of a clock, and we used to know just when to look for his coming ; sometimes his- coach would be loaded down, and then again it lumbered along empty, but it made no difference to him, he carried the mail and that was enough. Sometimes he brought us a letter directed to Zoar, one of those old-fashioned letters done up in itself and fastened with a blotch of red sealing wax. Envelopes had not been born, yet these were good letters, though the writers knew nothing of the spencerian system, or had never studied composition or the art of letter writing, but were full of loving kindness and told of an absent brother or sister, or friend in the far East or West, and they had been so long in coming and the postage cost so much that they seemed riper and bet- ter than letters do now-a-days.
And no longer does the pomp of mimic war awake the echoes that dwell among these sleepy hills; for the last " general training " was held years ago, and those were glorious days for old and young; I never hear the drum beat but what they come back to me like the dim recollection of a bright and fading dream. "Hills " was the rendezvous, and we small fry looked weeks ahead for the coming of the peddler's cart and the plumed troop with eager expectation, for it was a season of sweet cider, pumkin pies and hard ginger-bread. With miserly care had our pennies been hoarded for these occasions.
