Remde's brewery was built in 1868 by Frederick Remde on the cor- ner of Orient and Oak Orchard streets. He operated this brewery till 1872, when he was succeeded by his cousin, William Remde, the pres- ent proprietor. In place of the original wooden structure Mr. Remde has erected a substantial brick building, and his machinery is driven by a steam engine. He manufactures some sixteen hundred barrels of beer annually.

Bathgate's Foundry .- At a very early date Simeon Bathgate built and operated a foundry on what was then known as Center alley (now Race alley). It was conducted by Mr. Bathgate and his sons many years. Shaw & Oliver succeeded the Bathgates in 1855 ; William Ben- nett succeeded them in 1859, and John W. Mount became proprietor in 1861. After the death of Mr. Mount, in 1873, Oscar K. Johnson conducted the works till 1886. The establishment was burned, and rebuilt by the Mount estate in 1886. In 1887 the property was pur- chased by Hanlon Brothers. It is not now operated.

The Bignall Manufacturing Company was begun in 1850, when Ben- jamin M. and George T. Anthony established a foundry east of the junction of Orient and Starr streets. Their business at first was mainly the manufacture of stoves and agricultural implements. In 1861 the Messrs. Anthony sold their foundry to M. C. & L. C. Bignall, who changed it to a manufactory of iron pumps, sinks, barn door hangings and wagon trimmings. Their machinery was propelled by water from the canal feeder. In 1865 Lewis J. Ives became a partner in the com- pany, which was known as Bignall & Co. In 1869 a joint stock com- pany was organized under the name of Bignall Manufacturing Com- pany. This company at once commenced the erection of a factory a short distance below Medina Falls, and that has been their place of business since 1871. At the organization of the company W. H. Wat- son was chosen president and L. J. Ives secretary and treasurer. John M. Kennan succeeded Mr. Watson as president, and soon after- ward Mr. Watson was again chosen. W. J. Chatham became president, treasurer and general manager in 1876, and Mr. Watson again became president in 1876. He was succeeded by F. A. Burke in 1881, and he by James Jackson, jr., in 1890. The present officers of the company are : E. L. Pitts, president ; L. C. Bignall, vice-president ; W. B. Rob- bins, secretary and treasurer. The company now manufactures princi- pally pumps, sinks, soil pipes and fittings, and wagon skeins and boxes. Seventy hands are employed, and the goods manufactured are sold in all parts of the country.

Staves and Heading .- In 1859 Charles M. Simmonds established in Medina the first manufactory of staves and heading in the the county. His first manufactory was on Church street in a building that had been

a saw mill. In that he placed machinery for sawing and turning head- ing. He made several changes in the location of his manufactory, and finally, in 1867, purchased land and established his manufactory on Church street just north from the railroad. There he introduced ma- chinery for cutting staves and soon afterward established his present heading factory on East Center street.

Ide's planing mill was established by Warren Ide on the site of the old Gwinn mill at the race near the railroad. He continued business there till his mill was burned in 1873. He then erected a stone build- ing just south from the railroad, on Shelby street, where he still con- tinues business. In the spring of 1890 he established a foundry in the rear of his mill, and there plumber's ware is manufactured.

Medina Manufacturing Company .- In 1873 Albert L. Swett and William H. Samson, who had been employees of the Bignall Manufac- turing Company, established in the old works of that company, east of Court street and north of the railroad, a manufactory of light hard- ware. They started with a capital of $2,500 and employed one hand besides themselves. Their business increased steadily and in 1879 they found it necessary to build a factory with greater capacity, and they purchased the next water privilege north from the present Bignall man- ufactory. They at once erected their works there and commenced op- erations in the spring of 1880. In January, 1890, Mr. Swett pur- chased the interest of his partner, and he conducts the business under the style of the A. L. Swett Iron Works. From the modest beginning in 1873 the business has increased till now more than 100 hands are employed. Some of the specialties made are steel door hangers, door rails, chain pumps, tire benders, tuyere irons, bolster plates, etc.

The Ives Paper Pail Company .- In 1875 the Ives and Hubbard Pail Company was organized with a capital stock of twenty thousand dollars. A. M. Ives, L. J. Ives, F. M. Ives and E. Hubbard were the owners of this stock. A manufactory was erected on the east side of Shelby street, a short distance north from Pearl street, and operations were commenced in the same year. The power for running the machinery was transmitted by cable from the Bignall works. Straw pulp was at first used, but in 1887 wood fiber was added. The daily capacity of the factory is eighty dozen pails, and about forty hands are required

to operate it. A. M. Ives was the president of this company. In 1877 it was changed to a private firm, known as the Ives Paper Pail Com- pany. In 1889 A. M. Ives died, and afterward L J. and F. M. Ives purchased the interest of Mr. Hubbard. Since then it has been operated by a company, but at present is not in operation.

Johnson-Nichols Paper Pail Factory .- In 1880 Herbert A. Johnson and John S. Higley commenced the manufacture of paper pails in an old plaster mill on the north side of East Center street, near Oak Orchard Creek. A year later the manufactory was removed to the op- posite side of the street, in a part of the flouring mill. In 1882 R. W. Nichols purchased the interest of Mr. Higley, the firm becoming John- son & Nichol. On November 1, 1891, the Johnson Pail Company was organized, which continued to April 1, 1892, and was succeeded by Cottrell & Culbane. November 1, 1892, S. R. D. Cottrell bought out his partner. May 1, 1893, he removed the works to what was the Simmonds heading factory. About twenty hands are employed, and the capacity of the factory has been greatly extended. Straw pulp, rag stock and wood fibre are used in the manufacture of pails for all purposes.

Bowen & Beach manufactory of plumbers' ware was established in 1880 by Erwin A. Bowen, La Fayette Robinson and George A. Beach, on the north side of East Center street, and on the west bank of Oak Orchard Creek. Mr. Robinson withdrew from the firm in 1885. Mr. Bowen died in January, 1889, but his estate maintains its interest in the business. The products of this factory are plumber's iron goods ; forty hands are employed.

Maher Brothers' Manufactory of Upholstered Furniture .- In 1882 John, Francis, Joseph and Robert Maher removed from Middleport to Medina and opened a furniture store on Main street. In 1886 they commenced the manufacture of lounges in the same building where their store was kept. This business so increased as to necessitate greater facilities, and in 1887 they commenced business on Orient street, just south from the railroad. A building one hundred by forty feet, two stories in height, was erected, and this is used for the upholstering department. The old Bignall factory was used as a manufactory of woodwork. In 1888 a building was erected just north of the rail-

road on the east side of Orient street, and in this machinery was placed for manufacturing, the old Bignall mill being used for storage and pack- ing. In 1889 the Messrs. Maher erected still another building in the rear of the one first built. It is 100 by 40 feet, three stories in height, and it is used for manufacturing parlor furniture. On an average 100 hands are employed in this establishment, which is only exceeded in the amount of work produced by one similar manufactory in the State of New York. The work is sold in about twenty States of the Union. The works of this firm were all burned in the spring of 1894, but are be- ing rebuilt on a still larger plan It is one of the most prosperous and important industries in Western New York.

Empire Manufacturing Company .- In 1882 Edward Maloney, Thomas Maloney, Lewis Wood and Frederick Wilson formed a copartnership for the manufacture of plumbers' supplies. They first established their works at the old Bignall factory, at the foot of Starr street. Within the first year Messrs. Wood and Wilson retired, and the firm has ever since been E. & T. Maloney. In the spring of 1887 they removed to their present works, on the east side of Shelby street, north from the railroad, where a prosperous business is carried on

In 1888 L. F. Zimmerman built an evaporator on the north side of the railroad, a short distance east from Oak Orchard Creek. The ma- chinery in this evaporator is driven by an engine of four horse-power, and steam is passed through about 9,000 feet of gas pipe to furnish heat for evaporating. The daily capacity of the evaporator is 500 bushels of apples, and twenty hands are employed in the busy season.

Bidwell Bean Thresher .- In 1885 Charles H. Bidwell commenced the manufacture of bean threshers in Albion. In 1889 he established a manufactory in Medina, on the north side of East Center street, near Oak Orchard Creek, where J. L. Spencer had manufactured separators. The industry has been successful from the start and sales of the machine have greatly increased. Various other agricultural implements are also manufactured.

The Swett & Card Manufacturing Company was started in the autumn of 1889, with a capital of five thousand dollars. The business is the manufacture of condensed mince meat. They commenced in the Hanlon Brothers' foundry building, between the canal and Shelby street

on Race alley, but in the fall of 1890 they removed to a building which joins the Medina Manufacturing Company's works on the north. Owing to sharp competition and other causes this industry was abandoned.

Carriages .- On the 4th of March, 1849, Edward Davey began making wagons about on the site of the Medina House, East Center street. From the beginning has grown one of the important industries of the village. A handsome three story brick block, sixty by ninety feet, is occupied as a repository, offices, finishing rooms, etc., and several other large buildings are in use for other parts of the business. The work turned out is generally of a light grade and is sold largely to livery men and actual consumers. A large share of the present responsibility of the business rests upon the shoulders of Mr. Davey's son, Edward H. Davey.

Produce buyers .- The Ives Produce Company was organized in 1892 for the purchase of all kinds of produce. The company consisted of Fred M. and Lewis J. Ives, sons of the late A. M. Ives, who was identified with the leading business interests of Medina nearly a half a century. Among these were the foundry business, begun in 1875 by Ives & Son ; the succeeding firm of Ives & Hubbard, which manufac- tured pails, and the buying of produce of all kinds. In the latter busi- ness Mr. Ives was a member of the firm of Swan, Ives & Whalen; later Ives & Whalen, and still later Ives & Sons. The foundry business mentioned was closed out about 1875.

Samuel C. Bowen, who had previously kept a store in Lyndonville, came to Medina, where he carried on business a few years, and in 1857 began produce buying, and in 1890 erected his handsome and com- modious structure at a cost of $16,000. Mr. Bowen is a son of Dr. Elisha Bowen, one of the prominent early physicians of the county, and a native of the town of Yates.

CEMETERIES .- The first place of burial in Medina was near the southeast corner of Center and West streets, nearly opposite the Bap- tist church. This was never set apart or dedicated as a place of inter- ment, but was used informally by the early inhabitants. In 1830 David E. Evans, by his agent, W. R. Gwinn, donated an acre of ground on the east side of Gwinn street, south from the railroad, for burial pur- poses. The first interment here was of Mrs. Edmund Fuller, mother

of Edmund Fuller, jr., now of Medina. The forest was then unbroken there, and the lady was carried over a footpath that passed near the place. The ground has been used only as a burial place since that time, though but few bodies have been buried there for many years. Many memorial stones stand there, some of them mossy with age, and bearing the names of those who sought their homes here when the wilderness was almost unbroken. The area is partly surrounded by a stone wall. The surface is thickly carpeted with laurel, and a dense growth of young trees shades it. An appropriation of $500 has recently been made to pay for removal of remains from the grounds.

A short distance north from Medina, on the east side of the road leading to Ridgeway, is Boxwood Cemetery. The land was purchased in 1848, while yet a forest, for cemetery purposes by Messrs. S. M. Burroughs, George Northrup, Caleb Hill, and others. It was sold to the village for $600, and was laid out and opened for burials in 1850. The first person buried in it was David Card, in 1849. It is the prin- cipal burial place for the village and vicinity, and many bodies have been removed to it from other cemeteries. The revised village charter of 1874 named a board of commissioners for the government of the cemetery, and provided for the appointment of their successors by the Board of Trustees. The commissioners named were Elisha S. Whalen, Edward Davey, George A. Newell, Albert L. Swett, and Joseph C. Davis. The presidents of this commission have been : Elisha S. Whalen, Albert L. Swett, and George A. Newell.

The cemetery commissioners for 1894 are as follows : A. L. Swett, president ; E. H. Hill, treasurer ; G. A. Newell, seeretary ; J. R. Weld, G. H. Shattuck.

St. John's Episcopal church was incorporated November 12, 1827, under the name of St. Luke's Episcopal church, but the name was afterward changed to St. John's. The first Episcopal service by a bishop in Orleans county was held in this church by Bishop Hobart September 7, 1828, and the first confirmation in the county was of seventeen persons by Bishop Onderdonk August 19, 1831. The first officers of the church were: Justus Ingersoll and Richard Van Dyke, wardens ; Christopher Whaley, Elijah Beach, John B. Ellicott, Joseph Nixon, Henry Yerrington, Benjamin W. Van Dyke, Jonas S. Billings,

and Hezekiah Warner, vestrymen. During the first five years of its existence the church had several places of worship. One of these was in a house opposite the present site of the church, another in an un- finished room of a dwelling on Church street, and another in an upper room of a house on Shelby street, near the Presbyterian church. In 1828, when the number of communicants was only fifteen, steps were taken for the erection of a house of worship, and a site was donated by David E. Evans. In 1832 more active measures were adopted, and in the autumn of 1833 the present stone church had been enclosed and the basement was fitted up for service. The contractor who built this church was Joseph Nixon. The building was completed in 1836, and on the 13th of September, in that year, Bishop Onderdonk baptized five persons, confirmed eleven and consecrated the church. A costly communion service had been presented to the church by Mrs. David E. Evans in 1828. The period of greatest depression in this church was from 1848 to 1851, when the parish was embarrassed by a heavy debt and the church was closed. The rectors of this church have been : Revs. Richard Salmon, B. Northrup, J. M. Rogers, James O. Stokes, William Allenson, Stephen Douglass, Philemon E. Coe, R. D. Stearns, Warren W. Walsh, Edward Dolloway, John J. Andrew, and George W. West. At the present time the church is without a rector. Of these Rev. Mr. Stearns was rector during seventeen and one half years. At the close of his rectorship the number of communicants was ninety- three. In the latter part of Mr. Stearns' rectorship a memorial font of Caen stone was donated by Mrs. J. R. Weld, and a bishop's chair by George H. Shattuck. Memorial windows were also placed in the church : One by Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Weld, in memory of their daugh- ter; one by the ladies of the church, in memory of Rt. Rev. W. H. De Lancey, D. D .; one by Mrs. Edwin L. Blake, in memory of her husband, Major Blake, who was killed in the War of the Rebellion ; one in memory of Mrs. Elizabeth B. Stokes, by her children ; one in memory of Andrew B. Cook, by his widow, Mrs Sarah Cook ; one in memory of William R. Stearns, infant son of the rector, Rev. Mr. Stearns; one in memory of Dr. Christopher Whaley, by his widow ; and one in memory of Dr. C. Whaley and Sophronia, his wife, by their children. In 1869 a bell weighing 2, 100 pounds and costing $900 was placed in the tower.

In 1890 Mrs. J. R. Weld donated a new and elegant altar, and in the same year a new organ was purchased at a cost of $1,800. For some years the church has had a surpliced choir. The present number of communicants is 120.

The First Baptist Church of Medina was organized in 1829. There had been, for some years, a Baptist church in Ridgeway, about two two miles east of Ridgdway Corners, but this had become too weak to support a pastor. There were then a few Baptists in Medina, and after consulting together it was resolved to call a meeting of the church at Ridgeway and of other Baptists in the vicinity. The meeting was held at the house of Cook Hotchkiss, and it was resolved that the meetings of the church at Ridgeway should be held in Medina, and that it should thereafter be known as the First Baptist Church of Medina. The con- stituent members were Charles Warner, John Knapp, Rufus Reed, Lorin Hotchkiss, Lewis Warner, Faren Wilson, Mamri Knapp, Hannah Knapp, Polly Reed, Louisa Reed, Hannah Gamble, Sally Farnhanı, Sally Bullard, E. Pees and wife, Bennett Baker and wife, and R. Nick- erson and wife. The first deacons were Charles Warner and Cook Hotchkiss. Social worship was held in the houses of members, and public worship in a building that had been erected for a barn near the southwest corner of Center and Shelby streets. This served them till their first church building was completed, which was in 1832. The present elegant church edifice was erected between 1870 and 1873, at a total cost, including site and furniture, of more than forty-five thousand dollars. Members have been dismissed from this church to form three others : One at Knowlesville, in 1831 ; and two in Michigan, in 1835. Several members have become clergymen. The pastors and supplies of this church have been Revs. E. Savage, E. Weaver, J. Chadwick, S. Wilkins, Rev. Mr. Otis, Rev. Mr. Irons, R. K. Bellamy, C. T. John- son, S. Gilbert, C. B. Smith, P. C. Dayfoot, Rev. Mr. Murphy, Daniel Reed, P. B. Haughwout, D. Van Alstyne, E. W. Lounsbury, C. E. Becker, Wm. F. Taylor, Seth F. Farnham, F. G. Mckeever, and Frank T. Latham. The membership is 400. A new bell and interior re- pairs have recently been added at a cost of $1,200.

Moore constituent members. It became a part of the Niagara Presbytery in 1830. The first church edifice was built in 1832. It was a frame building, and stood on the north side of Cross street, near the corner of West, and it was the first building erected for public worship in Medina. After the erection of its successor it was occupied as a school house for several years, and was finally sold to the Roman Catholics who removed it to their church lot, enlarged it, used it as a place of worship, and finally converted it into a school. We quote from a former historical sketch of this church :

The story of the erection of this church is an interesting one. It is related that Deacon Theophilus Cook commenced alone and unaided getting out the timber for this house, and that seeing his zeal showing itself in both faith and works Mr. Ephraim Scovell joined him in his labors. Others followed with aid and contributions till a building about thirty by forty-five feet was erected in which the Presbyterians wor- shiped until 1836, when it gave place to a stone edifice which was dedicated February 17th of that year. The first bell in the village was raised in the steeple of this church in the year last mentioned. For several years it was the only one between Lockport and Albion, and it was rung several times each day to regulate the hours of labor and rest. The stone church was destroyed by fire December 26, 1871, and the present church building was erected the same year; the congregation meeting for the first time in the audience room March 13, 1872.

The pastors of this church have been: Revs. George Coan, Maltby Gaston, H. A. Read, Milton Buttolph, Rev. Mr. Danforth, C. E. Furman, Edgar Clark, L. I. Root, C. R. Wilkins, Alfred A. Graley, George P. Merrill, Henry T. Miller, William K. Tully, George Harkness, J. D. Countermain, E. P. Gardner, Charles H. Lester. The society is without a regular pastor at the present time.

The Methodist Episcopal church of Medina was organized on Septem- ber 27, 1830. An informal organization had existed several years, but on that day a legal legal organization was effected, and Halstead H. Parker, Ephraim Masten, Cyrus Rumsey, Elijah Bent, and Seth Morris and H. Morris were chosen trustees. A stone church building was erected in 1833, by Messrs. Ryan and Schuyler, contracting masons The build- ing covered an area of forty-five by sixty feet. Of the eighty-one sub- scribers for funds to build this church the following gave $50 or more,

Parker, Cyrus Rumsey, Jonah Hoyt, Daniel Timmerman, Ephraim Masten, Thomas Payne, George Codd, James Hamilton, Mercy Day, Joseph Zimmerman, David Zimmerman, Cor - nelius Ashton, John Ryan, J. V. Schuyler, John Zimmerman, David E. Evans, Phebe Drew, Philo Gregory, and S. Gregory. In 1850, this church was taken down and the stones of which the walls were composed were used for the basement of a wooden structure which was built in its place. It was fifty by eighty feet and its cost was $7,000. In 1868 the same sum was expended in reconstructing it. It was burned in 1874. It stood on the west side of Shelby street, in the heart of the business part of the village. The lot was sold, another on West Center street was purchased, and the present brick edifice, sixty-five by one hundred and twelve feet and two stories in height was erected, at a cost of $32,000. It was dedicated December 8, 1876. In 1888 it was re- paired, renovated and refurnished, at an expense of $3,000. In 1894 a new bell was presented by Mrs. William Underhill. The pastors of this church have been: Revs. Thomas Harker, Rev. Mr. Durham, A. N. Fillmore, John Gulie, J. B. Lancton, D. F. Parsons, Jonathan Benson, H. R. Smith, S. C. Church, E. E. Chambers, A. P.

Williams, G. E. Jones, G. W. Peck, G. H. Dryer, C. E. Winchester, L. E. Rockwell. The member- ship is 300.

St. Mary's Church, Medina, N. Y .- About sixty-three years ago Rev. Fr. McNamara, on his way to Lockport, stopped here and celebrated mass for the first time at the home of William Welsh, father of Mrs. James Kearney, now the residence of Mrs. Colonel Bowen, Main street. He baptized the first Catholic child, Margaret Welsh, sis- ter of Mrs. James Kearney. Rev. Bernard O'Reilly visited here and said mass at the residence of William Welsh on Center street, now the home of Dr. Everett Baker, and also officiated at the first Catholic marriage. The parties were Miss Anna Kelly and James Kearney. Father O'Reilly afterward became bishop of Hartford, Conn. On a voyage to Europe he was lost at sea.

Over fifty years ago Rev. Fr. Mannion celebrated mass at the home of James Cullen on Laurel Hill. In 1848 and 1849 Fr. McMullen, of Lockport, occasionally attended to the spiritual wants of the people. He was succeeded by Rev. John Boyle, of Youngstown, N. Y. Rev. Edward Dillon came from Batavia about 1847, and services were held every two months for two years. Fr. Fitzgerald was here a short time. In 1837 there were about ten or twelve Catholic families. We will mention those of James Cullen, Cornelius A. Hern, William Welsh, Dennis Bradley and James Kearney. Hon. Silas M. Burroughs do - nated a lot on Orient street to the Catholics, which was afterward sold, and a committee composed of the following gentlemen, viz. : Dennis Bradley, James Cullen, John Rodgers, Michael Roche, John Clark and William Welsh, bought a small Presbyterian Church located on Pearl street, between Main and West streets, and it was moved on to a lot bought by Fr. Dilon on West street, or where E. S. Sutphen's house now stands. Services were held in it about two years, when it was again moved to the church property bought of James Skinner, on Eagle street. About the year 1849 Rt. Rev. John Timon visited this parish for the first time and celebrated mass, assisted by Fr. Boyle, in the church located where Herbert Johnson's residence now is. At a later period the bishop confirmed a class of children in the Beecher house, corner of Park avenue and West street. Rev. Richard Har- mon, a strong temperance advocate, came in 1850. He was the first resident priest. He died of fever at the Vandemark Hotel, on the cor- ner where now stands the Union Bank. Rev. Martin O'Connor, a very charitable and zealous clergyman, came in April, 1851, and remained until January, 1855. During his pastorate the present stone edifice was commenced. He was assisted by Rev. William Hughes for a few months in 1856, and in 1857 by Rev. George McMahan, and also by Rev. Fr. Clark, formerly of Wellsville. Fr. O'Connor was given charge of St. Bridget's parish, Buffalo, for several years, and while on a visit to the Seminary of Angels, Suspension Bridge, he died suddenly. In the summer of 1854 the corner stone of the church was laid by Bishop Timon, and it was finished and dedicated in November of the same year. In the sanctuary beside Bishop Timon, were Rev. Martin O'Connor, Rev. Edward O'Connor, and Mr. Thomas Hynes, now pas-
