The present business of Lyndonville consists of three general stores, two drug stores, two hardware stores, a meat market, one furniture and crockery store, a shoe shop, a jewelry store, two milliners, one hotel, two liveries, two blacksmith shops, a wagon shop, a foundry and plan- ing mill, a lumber yard, a large slaughter house, two coal yards, two cooper shops, one harness shop, two physicians, one dentist, one or two barbers, and two or three public halls. There are also two churches and a union school and library. The present postmaster is Dr. R. B. Wright, who came to Lyndonville in 1876. His father was a soldier in the English army and in the American Rebellion.

COUNTY LINE .- This is a small hamlet on the west edge of the town a mile and a half north of the railroad, and contains two general stores, a blacksmith shop, a wagon shop, a Methodist Church and a school house. The post- office, Hiram. A. Vaughn, postmaster, although lo- cated in this town, is a Niagara county office on the books of the department.

Miller's (County Line station, Niagara county) is a post hamlet on the line between Orleans and Niagara counties and contains two stores and a dry house. The post-office is in this county and was established in November, 1882, with Edgar Miller, postmaster. His successors have been George T. Vaness and Joseph S. Ward. The place was named from the Miller family, who located there in 1847.

Yates pier, 275 feet long, one mile directly north of Yates Center, was built about 1850 by a stock company composed of farmers. Mr. George Lane, of Newfane, Niagara county, N.Y., was the principal stock- holder. Nathan Gilbert was the builder. A warehouse was built as soon as the pier was completed, A warehouse built by Chamberlain &

Simpson in 1828 had occupied the same spot ; this was swept away several years before the pier was built.

Mr. Lane purchased and shipped grain from here to Oswego for sev- eral years. Mr. Erastus M. Spaulding purchased a majority of the stock in 1856, and continued the grain and lumber business until he entered the army in 1862. The volume of business every fall was large. Mr. Spaulding bought as high as 50,000 bushels of grain in one season. His brother, Henry, and O. D. Phelps continued the business during the war. The lake trade gradually decreased and followed the line of the railroads. There is no sign of a pier or warehouse there now (1894).

Pioneer Association .- The Yates Pioneer Association was organized with about sixty members on the Ist of December, 1884; Henry Spaulding was the first president. Its object is to foster the study and preservation of early local history, and it has been eminently successful. The present officers are : Chauncey H. Lum, president ; Daniel Clark, vice president ; Mrs. Daniel Clark, secretary.

Cemetery .- The Lynhaven Cemetery Association was organized May 16, 1892, and assumed control of the burial ground at Lyndonville. The old portion of this plat was set apart for public burials by Samuel Clark. The first and present officers are : Myron L. Parker, president ; Richard Barry, vice president and superintendent ; George A. Water- bury, secretary ; John P. Levey, treasurer.

Masonic Lodge .- Yates Lodge No. 675, F. & A. M., Lyndonville, worked under a dispensation from October 29, 1867, to June 20, 1868, when a charter was obtained with Noah Shepardson, W. M. The mas- ters of this lodge have been S. G. Johnson, 1869; Uriel Timmerman, 1870, 1874, 1878-79 ; A. B. Fisk, 1871, 1873, 1875-76, 1892; Joseph Spalding, 1872, 1877; George A. Waterbury, 1880-81, 1885-86, 1889, 1893-94; Morrell Dates, 1887; H. B. Fuller, 1890-91. The lodge has now 150 members.

G. A. R. Post .- S. & P. Gilbert Post, No. 73, G. A. R., Lyndon- ville, was organized June 26, 1876, as the F. & S. Ashby Post, with eighteen members. The name was changed January 19, 1884. The first commander was E. C. Fuller, and the present one is C. A. John- son. The post has now thirty-two members.

Churches .- The religious history of the town of Yates properly be- gins with the year immediately succeeding the war of 1812-15. The itinerant preacher, called the "circuit-rider," was welcomed to the cabin of the pioneer and exhorted to small congregations in barns, dwellings, school houses, or the open air. It appears that the first gospel services in this town were according to the doctrines of Method- ism, but who was the first minister cannot now be known. As early as 1819 three Methodist classes existed, and in that year these effected a sort of consolidation to form what is now the Methodist Episcopal Church, of Lyndonville, the prominent mover in the organization being Rev. John B. Alverson. On March 27, 1827, this body was legally in- corporated as the first society of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Yates, and the trustees elected were Samuel Warner, Samuel Church, Stephen B Johnson, and Stephen W. Mudgett. As this was the first religious society in the town it was entitled to, and received, the " gospel lot," given by the Holland Land Company, and on the site where the present edifice stands was erected in 1827 the pioneer meeting house in Yates. The building was of wood and cost about $3,000. It was dedicated in 1828 and was remodeled and enlarged in 1840. In 1867 it was removed and converted into a flag-collar manufactory. Later the upper story was used for roller skating and as a hall. It is now occupied by a hardware store, etc. The present church edifice was built of brick in 1867 at a cost of $10,000, and was dedicated by the Rev. J. T. Peck, D. D. The society now has about 155 members under the pastoral charge of Rev. John Milton Dobson. The society owns a parsonage valued at about $4,000. The Sunday school has an average attendance of 125 and Prof. Edson L. Moore is superintendent. The first Sunday school was organized in 1825 under the superintend- ence of Samuel Church, who held the position twenty-five years. The pastors have been as follows :

John B. Alverson, 1819 ; John Somerville, Elijah Boardman, 1820-21; Isaac Puffer, William Fowler, 1822-23 ; Ira Bronson, S. W. D. Chase, 1824-25; John A. Copeland, 1826; Hiram May, E. Herrick, 1827-28; M. Harker, O. Abbott, 1829-30; Josiah Breakman, G. Hines, 1831; Joseph Atwood, J. B. Roach, 1832-33 ; J. B. Lanckton, 1834-35, 1844-45; James Durham, 1836-37; William R. Babcock, 1838-39; J. G. Gulick, 1840-41; S. C. Church, 1842-43; A. D. Wilbor, 1846-47 ; Charles Shelling, 1848; W. H. De Puy, 1849; Philo Woodworth, 1850-51; D. F. Parsons, 1852-53,

The First Baptist Church in Yates, located at Yates Center, was or- ganized in a school house north of that village June 6, 1822, with eight members, by Rev. Jeremiah Irons, who had the distinction of being the first settled minister in town. He was chosen its first pastor and served until his death, March 13, 1829. The society was originally organized as the Union Baptist Church of Northton, but upon the changing of the name of the town to Yates the title of the church was made to corre- spond. Among the members was Dr. Elisha Bowen, the principal founder of the church, and the first and many subsequent covenant meetings were held at his office. The first meeting of the association with the society was held in his barn. Dr. Bowen was also one of the council which publicly reorganized the church on October 12, 1822, the society then consisting of twenty-two persons. On September 22 of that year nine candidates for membership were immersed in John- son's Creek near the grist mill (in which the services were held on that occasion) about two miles below Lyndonville, which is believed to have been the first baptism in town ; and the first one of those baptized was Jackson Blood. Dr. Bowen and John H. Burroughs acted as deacons until June 1, 1833, when Asahel Johnson, sr., was regularly chosen. He served until his death, October 20, 1856. Dr. Bowen was the first clerk. The first house of worship, a frame structure, cost $1,750 and was finished September 1, 1832. The edifice was being rebuilt in 1866, at a cost of $3,500, and was nearly finished when, on December 16, it was destroyed by fire. The present brick structure was at once begun and was dedicated January 30, 1868. It cost about $10,000 and the dedicatory sermon was preached by Rev. E. Dodge, then president of Madison University. The lot on which the church stands was donated by Rev. George B. Davis and Friend Curtis. The first parsonage was of logs and was bought in 1834 for $275. This was replaced in 1837 by a frame structure costing $500. On July 23, 1852, this and the

621

barn were burned, but were soon rebuilt and are now standing. The house cost $1,000. The present value of the church property is $10,- 000. The society has about 105 members and maintains a mission in school district No. 4, in the western part of the town, which was started in April, 1892. It has also a Sunday school with an average attend- ance of 100 scholars. This church united with the Niagara Association at its second annual meeting which was held in Yates in 1825, In 1844 it was dismissed to form the Orleans Association to which it has since belonged. The pastors have been as follows :

Jeremiah Irons, 1822-29: Hervey Blood, 1829-31; George P. Davis, 1831-34; Arah Irons, 1834-39 ; Samuel Gilbert, 1839-43; Jonathan Ketchum, 1843-45; William Rees, 1845-49; Nelson Fillis, 1849-51; Abel Haskell, 1851-60; H. West, 1860-64; W. T. Potter, 1864-80 ; J. H. Palmer, 1880-83; H. W. Wilson, 1883-86 ; F. R. Holt, 1886- 89; B. R. Smith, 1889-90; Lucius C. Davis, since July, 1891.

The first Presbyterian church in Yates was organized October 13, 1833, with sixteen members by a commission of the Niagara Presbytery which met in the old fulling mill. The first pastor was Rev. David Page, and the first deacon was Isaac Hurd. The first house of worship was erected on the present site in 1838. The location of the edifice was the cause of considerable contention. At first it was decided to build it at Yates Center, and the final change to Lyndonville led twenty-five members to secede, but many of them subsequently 're- turned. The edifice was repaired in 1869 at a cost of nearly $3,000, and again in 1881 at an expense of nearly $500. It was remodeled and rededicated January 3, 1889, the cost being $3,500. The society has now about 105 members and a Sunday- school with an average at- tendance of 110, under John C. Ferguson as superintendent. The frame parsonage was erected about twenty years ago, on a lot purchased of Merritt Hard. The church has always belonged to the Niagara Pres- bytery. The pastors, as far can be ascertained, have been :

Revs. David Page, Joel Potter, Richard Dunning, William Bridgeman, Hugh Carlisle, J. H. Rice, Isaac Flagler, Jonathan Hovev, Truman C. Hill, O. Holmes Barnard. P. J. ' Burnham, Fred A. Chase, John W. Marcussohn, Allen G. Daniels, E. W. Twitchell, and Henry G. Dean, since December, 1891.

The Second Methodist Episcopal church of Yates, located at the county line, was organized in 1825 or 1826, with Stephen Bateman as the first leader. Preaching was occasionally heard from preachers on

the Ridgeway circuit until the Lyndonville charge was set off. In 1844 it was annexed to the Somerset district, and now comprises a separate charge. In 1833, when the society had thirty members, Daniel Cart- wright located here and was class leader from 1836 to his death, August 15, 1878. To him is largely due the credit of erecting the first frame house of worship in 1852, at a cost of $2,000. This church was dedi- cated in 1854, by Rev. S. Seager, D. D. A Sunday-school was or- ganized at an early day and is still maintained. In 1859 all but about half a dozen members of this society withdrew and called themselves Nazarites, but subsequently united with the Free Methodists. A branch of the county line church was recently organized at Miller's, a mile and a half south, and a neat house of worship was erected and dedicated in 1893, on a lot donated for the purpose by Edgar D. Miller. The building cost about $1,600. Both societies are under the pastoral charge of Rev. Robert E. Brettle.

A Free Methodist church was organized at Lyndonville in January, 1861, by a number of seceders from the M. E. society, the meeting on that occasion being held at the house of Silas Wood, by Rev. B T. Roberts. Rev. Russell Wilcox was appointed minister in charge. The society originally consisted of twenty-five members. The first deacon was William H. Lott, who was elected in 1868, and the church was legally incorporated November 27, 1872, with R. R. Hallock, Cornelius Johnson, and William H. Lott, trustees. A house of worship was built in 1869 at a cost of $2,700. The society flourished until about 1880, when it disbanded and many of its members subsequently joined the Wesleyans. Their church edifice was sold and is now used by Dr. D. S. Fraser for a drug store, public hall, and dwelling.

In 1843 twenty-four members of the Lyndonville Presbyterian church became imbued with the doctrine of Perfection or Abolitionism, as taught at Oberlin, Ohio, and withdrew to form what they styled a Christian society. They purchased a lot from Nelson A. Frost and erected the building now used by Dr. R. B. Wright as a dwelling. The society had a brief existence and never acquired much stability or prominence.

The Wesleyan Methodist church of Yates, located in the southeast corner of the town, was organized by Rev. Joseph A. Swallow, the

623

ORLEANS COUNTY.

first pastor, about 1854, as a branch of the Eagle Harbor charge, to which it has always been attached. Their house of worship, a frame structure, was built in 1856, on the site of the school house which was burned in 1855, the lot being bought of the district. The society has about fifty members and a Sunday-school of fifty or sixty pupils, with H. A. Barry as superintendent.

CHAPTER XXIV.

THE TOWN OF CARLTON.

Carlton includes ranges 1 and 2, of town 16, of the Holland Land Company's survey. It lies in the central northern part of Orleans county, and is bounded on the north by Lake Ontario, on the east by Kendall, on the south by Gaines and a portion of Ridgeway, and on the west by Yates. It contains an area of 26,385} acres of generally level land, which is well adapted to the production of fruit, grain, etc .; pop- ulation in 1892, 2,297. No town in the county is better drained or possesses better mill privileges. Oak Orchard Creek enters Carlton near the southwest corner and flows northeasterly into the lake near the center of the northern boundary, where it forms the only harbor along the lake shore in Orleans county. Its principal tributaries are Otter and Marsh Creeks. Johnson's Creek enters this town from Yates and flows northeasterly across the northwest corner into the lake.

In common with all that portion of the county lying north of the Ridge road this section was known in early times as the North Woods, from the fact that it was heavily timbered with whitewood, oak, hem- lock, elm, beech. pine, basswood, and maple. Much of the oak was squared and sent to Europe for ship building. Large quantities of other trees were converted into lumber and shipped to distant parts of the country, but by far the larger portion of this magnificent timber was burned where it fell, and the ashes were manufactured into potash or black salts, which formed the chief article of money value to the pio- neer.

This town was formed from Gaines and Ridgeway April 13, 1822, under the name of Oak Orchard, which was changed to Carlton in 1825. Many of the early town meetings were held at the rude log dwelling of Job Shipman, which was located on lot 2, section 2, near the center of the town. It being too small to hold all the voters, the ballots were passed through a window to the board inside, similar to the method practiced in recent years. The supervisors of Carlton have been as follows :

Richard W. Gates, 1826; Minores Day, 1827-28, 1831, John M. Randall, 1829-30; Isaac Mason, 1832-33; Chester Bidwell, 1834; Joshua E. Hall, 1835; Horace O.

Grow, 1849; Willard F. Warren, 1850; John Dunham, 1852; Nelson Shattuck, 1853; Reuben N. Warren, 1854; Marvin C. Lacey, 1855; Joseph D. Billings, 1857, '59, '62; Daniel Howe, 1860, '61; John L. Harris, 1863, '64; George L. Baker, 1865-66; Dennis Blekford, 1867-68; Benjamin F. Van Camp, 1869-70; John Gates, 1871-72; Stephen D. Skinner, 1873; John Pratt, 1874; D. S. Beckwith 1875-76; John IV.

Dean, 1893-94.

In the original survey of the town that portion in range I was di- vided into 9, and that in range 2 into 12 sections ; and these were sub- divided into lots, some sections having 2, some 4, some 6, and some 12 lots. The land office records for the first range in township 16 are not accessible if in existence. In giving the names of grantees by deed and the amounts and dates of their purchases, the order observed is from south to north and from east to west regardless of chronological arrangement.
