The congregation has gradually increased, and now (1894) numbers 208 communicants. To the church there is attached a guild house, and the parish possesses a rectory. It has an endowment of $11,000. The church property is valued at $15,000, and the parish has a Sunday- school of over 100 scholars. The present wardens are Franklin Clarke and W. Crawford Ramsdale.

The following summer the spire was remodeled and other improvements made both to the exterior and interior of the church. 1885, a chapel was erected, the late Mrs. Abby Lord Bruen having left a request that $500 from her estate be devoted to that pur- pose. At the laying of the corner stone there were present of the reverend clergy, besides the rector, the Rev. Dr. Doty, Dr. Seibt, W. W. Walsh, S. H. Cook, G. W.

The first marriage was solemnized by the Rev. Orrin Miller, October 27, 1844, and was that of Eunice Edmund to Cyrus Hull. The second marriage recorded, dated April 14, 1846, was that of Mary Jane Ballard to Freeman Butts, solemnized by the Rev. Pascal P. Kidder. During the past fifty years three hundred and fifty- eight burials are recorded in the parish register. The first was a child-Joseph A. Latin Lount, died August 2, 1844." 1

St. Joseph's Church (Roman Catholic) .- Two Catholic families, those of John Welch and John Creen, were residents of Albion in 1829, and soon afterward Felix McCann and Samuel McCaffery with their families came. In 1833 the first mass was celebrated here, in a private house, by Rev. Father Weingan, of Lockport. A mission was established, here in that year, and it was attended at first from Lockport and after- ward from Medina. Mass was celebrated at first once a month in a private house, but as the congregation increased a room over one of the stores was hired. In June, 1849, Rt. Rev. Bishop Timon paid his first visit and selected the site for the church, which Rev. Father O'Connor completed in 1852, and the first mass was celebrated in it on Palm Sun- day, March 20, in that year. The first resident pastor was Rev. Father Byrne, who came in February, 1858 ; succeeded in November follow- ing by Rev. Father Bradley : followed in April, 1860, by Father Barker and he in December, 1861, by Father Stevens. The latter remained till the appointment of the present pastor, Rev. John Castaldi, in Jan- uary, 1862. In the same year the present house was built, and was used as a pastoral residence till 1870, when it was occupied as a convent by the Sisters of Mercy, who came to Albion in that year, and Father Castaldi occupied a small office in the rear of the church. In 1876 the residence of Mrs. M J. English. with eight acres of land, on the west side of Main street, was purchased at a cost of $10,000, and the house is occupied as a convent by the Sisters. The Sisters took charge of the parochial school in 1870, and it still continues in their care. The Sister Superior, Sister Mary Alacogne, died in July, 1876, and Sister Mary Austin has ever since been at the head of the convent.

The first religious reception and profession of a Sister of Mercy in St. Joseph's church took place in February, 1871. In March, 1876, two others were received here and two were also received in May, 1878.

The original cost of the school house and furniture, in 1870, was $3,000. An addition was made to it in 1872 at a cost of $1,500. In 1862 the church was repaired, in 1864 an addition to it was built, in 1867 the interior was tastefully decorated, and in 1884 it was again thoroughly repaired. Father Castaldi visited Europe in 1868, Rev. P. Moynihan officiating in his absence. He went again in 1881, Rev. Michael Cun- ningham acting as pastor, and again, in 1887, he, in company with Bishop Ryan, went to Europe and the Holy Land, Rev. A. R. Barlow taking charge in his absence. On the 26th of March, 1888, Father Castaldi and Bishop Ryan were made Knights of the Holy Sepulchre at Jerusalem. In 1887 the pastor of St. Joseph's church was made irremovable except with his own consent. The church now numbers about 1,000 members, or 800 communicants. April 1, 1874, a tract of land covering 26 acres was purchased for burial purposes, and was consecrated the Holy Sepulchre Cemetery.

The Free Methodist Church of Albion .- In the fall of 1859 Rev. Loren Stiles, jr., pastor of the Methodist church in Albion, and a member of the Genesee Conference of the M. E. church, was expelled from the conference and church during what were known as the '· Genesee Conference troubles." He soon after organized a new church, and 185 members of the church from which he was expelled became members of the new organization. It was at first called the " Congre- gational Free Methodist church," but about a year after its formation it joined the Free Methodist Conference and dropped the word " Con- gregational " from its title. The first place of worship was the old academy, but the society at once proceeded to erect a church edi- fice, and in the spring of 1860 they occupied the basement. The house was soon completed and was dedicated on May 18 in that year. It stands on the southeast corner of State and Platt streets. Its cost in- cluding lot and sheds, was $10,000. In 1875 a parsonage was pur- chased at a cost of $1,800. It stands on the west side of Platt street, south from the jail. The pastors of this church have been : Revs. Loren Stiles, jr., Cornelius D. Brooks, John D. Reddy, A. O. Curry, James Matthews, George W. Coleman, George W. Marcellus, William Jackson, Anthony N. Moore, Joseph Travis, Samuel K. J. Chesbrough, Wilson T. Hogg, M. D. McDonald, J. G. Terrill, A. H. Bennett, C. C. 37

Eggleston, and John O'Regan. The society now has about 120 mem- bers and a Sunday- school with an average attendance of seventy-five, and with W. H. Grinnell as superintendent. Rev. A. K. Bacon, a charter member of this church, has been its local preacher most of the time since the organization.

The Pullman Memorial Universalist Church of Albion was legally in- corporated under the laws of the State of New York on August 18, 1891, with about 100 members, and with the following Board of Trus- tees : Three years, Charles A. Danolds, John Lattin, Mrs. Joseph S. Hart; two years, Sheldon E. Warner, Mrs. S. S. Spencer, William A. Tan- ner ; one year, J. D. Billings, Adelbert P. Chapman, Mrs. F. E. Kittredge. George Reed was treasurer and F. E. Kittredge clerk. This incorpor- ation was the result of a Universalist conference held in the court house on the 15th and 16th of July of the same year, when a tempo- rary organization was effected. Since then the society has had oc- casional preaching, but has never had a settled pastor. Shortly before the conference convened in Albion, Charles A. Danolds was a guest of Mrs. E. C. Pullman, at her summer home on the St. Lawrence River. Her son, George M. Pullman, was visiting her at the time, and the sub- ject of Universalism in Orleans county, and the prominent part taken in it by his father, came up for discussion. The result was an offer by Mr. Pullman to build a church here as a memorial to his parents, on con- dition the Universalists would raise a fund adequate to provide for its care and maintenance. The requisite sum of $5,000 being subscribed by December, 1892, Mr. Pullman was formally advised to that effect, and in July, 1893, be bought as a site the residence lot of Mrs. Charles Burrows, on the corner of Main and Madison streets, at a cost of $7,500. This is one of the best locations in Albion. The house was removed, and early in the year 1894 the construction of the edifice was com- menced after plans drawn by S. S. Beman, the well-known architect of Chicago. On May 19, 1894, the corner stone was laid with Masonic ceremonies, the ritualistic exercises being performed by Grand Master Frederick A. Burnham, Grand Marshal E. A. Miller and Grand Treas- urer John J. Gorham, all of New York city ; Acting D. G. Master E. J. Taylor, of Lockport; S. G. Warden William A. Sutherland, of Roches- ter ; Acting Grand Secretary George A. Newell, of Medina; and Act-

ing Grand Deacon G. W. Fitch and Grand Chaplain F. S. Dunham, of Albion. The ceremonies were concluded at the court house, where the Rev. Dr. Royal H. Pullman, of Baltimore, delivered the address of the day, taking as his theme, "Character Building." In closing he said : " The desire of my brother in the erection of this church is to establish a memorial of the father and mother who believed in the doctrines of the Universalist Church, and who lived their religion among the people of this community."

The building is of rock- faced sandstone, and the style is old English Gothic. It will seat 400 persons. In the west transept is a memorial window. The -structure represents an expenditure of some $60,000, and when finished will be deeded to the society organized to receive it.

St. Jacob's Evangelical Lutheran Church (N. A. C.) of Albion .- In October, 1886, Rev. A. T. Hanser, of Lockport, held the first Luth- eran service in Albion in the Sunday school chapel of the Presbyterian church, and a society was afterward organized. In 1887 Rev. G. Bartling took pastoral charge. In 1889 the people of Albion presented to this society the so- called Quarry chapel for a place of worship, and it was dedicated in December of that year. The parish is connected with the Medina charge of this denomination.

The African A. M. E. church of Albion had its nucleus in a mission started in 1873 for the benefit of the colored population of the village and vicinity. The prime mover was Judge Arad Thomas and the first trustees were Stephen Dickus, William McIntyre, and Jacob Carter. In the fall of 1888 it was recognized and attached to the Bethel A. M. E. Conference, to which it has ever since belonged. The first settled pastor was Rev. Peter Stewart, his successor (in January, 1894,) and the present incumbent being Rev. William J. Johnson. The society now has about sixty members. Services have been held in a school house. In 1893 the society purchased a frame parsonage on the north side of the canal. In the spring of 1894 this building was moved a few feet south and the erection of a frame church edifice commenced, which will cost about $1,800.

St. Mary's Assumption Church (Polish Roman Catholic) was started as a mission about 1890, and on July 21, 1891, was regularly organ- ized by Rt. Rev. Bishop Ryan, of Buffalo. The first and present resi-

dent priest, Rev. Bart. Swinko, was appointed in December, 1892. Services were held in school houses until the present brick edifice was erected in 1892, and dedicated February 8, 1893. The lot cost $3,500 and the church building $14,000. At the organization the parish had 150 families, which number has since decreased to 100. Connected with the church is a parochial school for Polish children, taught by the priest and one assistant.

CHAPTER XVII.

THE TOWN OF RIDGEWAY AND VILLAGE OF MEDINA.

Ridgeway derives its name from the Ridge, which traverses it in an easterly and westerly direction. The town was erected from Batavia, Genesee county, June 8, 1812, and included the present towns of Shelby, Ridgeway, Yates, Barry, Albion, Gaines and Carlton, or all of Orleans county within the limits of the Holland purchase. It now includes ranges 3 and 4 of the 15th township and the west tier of lots in the 2d range, which last were added in 1836 in order that the village of Knowlesville might be altogether in one town. Its area is about forty- six and one half square miles. Population in 1892, 5,882. The sur- face is generally level, and the soil is a sandy loam. The town is crossed by Oak Orchard Creek, which affords excellent mill privileges, and in the northwest corner by Johnson's Creek.

The first town meeting in Ridgeway was held at the house of John G. Brown, at Oak Orchard, April 6, 1813, at which the following officers were chosen :

Oliver Booth, supervisor ; Israel Douglass, town clerk; Lansing Bailey, James Car- penter, Henry Lovewell, assessors; John Proctor, collector; John Anderson, Otis Tur- ner, overseers of the poor ; Samuel Clark, Gideon Freeman, William White, overseers of highways; John Proctor, Minoris Day, Otis Turner, Robert Garber, constables; James Mather and Eli Moore, pound keepers.

Three weeks later, at a special town meeting held at the house of William Sibley, Eli Moore was elected assessor to fill the vacancy occa-

sioned by the death of Henry Lovewell. Israel Douglass was a justice of the peace for the town of Batavia prior to the organization of Ridgeway. There were then sixteen road districts in the town and seven school districts in 1814. When it is remembered that the town then included all of Orleans county west of the east transit line, now divided in seven towns, an idea of the size of these districts can be formed.

The supervisors of Ridgeway, have been as follows :

Oliver Booth, 1813; Samuel Clarke, 1814-15 ; Israel Douglass, 1816-17 ; Elijah Hawley, 1818; Jeremiah Brown, 1819; Israel Douglass, 1820-21 ; Jeremiah Brown, 1822-24 ; Lyman Bates, 1825; Jeremiah Brown, 1826; Lyman Bates, 1827-31 ; William C.

Scott, 1868-69 ; Henry A. Glidden, Daniel D. Tompkins, 1870 ; E. S. Whalen, 1871-72; Allen P. Scott, 1873-74; E. S. Whalen, William H. Watson, 1875; Allen P. Scott, 1876; E. J. Potter, 1877 ; Julius Harris, 1878-81; Henry Webster, 1882; Adelbert J. McCormick, 1884-86; Henry S. Ostrander ; 1887-88; Joseph Stork, 1889-90; Adelbert J. McCormick, 1891; Henry S.
