Among the former postmasters at Colosse were Alvin Richardson, Orange Frary, Chauncey S. Frary (son of Orange), Cyrus H. Harvey, Edwin T. Johnson, Webster M. Richardson, and Peter Gray. The present official is James Gray, who succeeded Cyrus F. Allen. The village now has about 125 inhabitants.

Prattham, named in honor of Judge Peter Pratt, is a postal hamlet, about two and one- half miles east of Mexico village. It was originally known as " Prattville," and for several years constituted a formidable rival of the more populous center of business. It early fostered the

cause of education, religion and material improvement, but the natural advantages of Mexico eventually superseded whatever expectations the first settlers of this place may have entertained. Mr. Pratt built the first saw mill and distillery and, with Elias Brewster, kept the first general store and tinshop. Messrs. Pratt & Brewster, with Dr. Sardius Brews- ter, also conducted a woolen factory for a time. The first tavern was opened by Joel Savage, and the first tannery and harness shop by Edmund Smith. Simon Leroy had the first cabinet shop and George Finney was the pioneer blacksmith. The latter finally became a min- ister.

Upon the establishment of the post office the place assumed its present name. The postmaster is William F. Everts.

Union Square .- This is a station on the R., W. & O. Railroad, situated four miles east of Mexico village. Two of its most conspicuous citizens were Avery and Hiram Skinner, the former of whom has already been noticed. Hiram Skinner was an early school teacher, justice of the peace and postmaster, and died November 4, 1865. At an early day Robert Kelley opened a tavern, which he kept for more than thirty years, being succeeded in 1867 by John B. Davis. The present post- master is William H. Davis. The place contains about 175 inhabitants.

Wellwood is a postal hamlet about three miles south of Mexico vil- lage. The place was formerly, and is sometimes yet, locally known as " South Mexico," the post-office being named in honor of the Wellwood family, of whom James settled there in 1838. His son John is still a resident. Mahlon Remington was succeeded as postmaster by his brother Ellsworth ; the present incumbent is William M. Harris, whose predecessor was Mrs. Emma Preston. Mr. Harris also has a store, and besides this and a church the place contains the Cusick Cheese Factory.

Arthur is a post office about two miles below the village of Mexico, on the east side of Little Salmon Creek, and was established under President Arthur's administration, in whose honor it was named. The postmaster is Byron A. Myers. Near here is the principal stone quarry in town.

The Colosse Baptist Church .- On Sunday, June 15, 1806, after divine services by Rev. Gamaliel Barnes, at the house of Amos Williams, in what is now the town of Parish, a meeting was held which had for its

object the formation of a church. Several conferences were had, and the 7th of January, 1807, was the day appointed to meet and perfect an organization, but the councils failed to attend. After further consul- tation it was decided to assume church authority on October 15, 1807. This was the first church in the town of Mexico, the First Baptist church in Oswego county, and the second of any denomination, the first being one at Redfield. July 2, 1814, the society dissolved, but soon afterward a few brethren reconsidered the vote of dissolution and decided to re- sume church labor. A council of recognition, composed of twelve dele- gates, convened at a school house in the present town of Parish on August 23, 1815, and the next day gave the right hand of fellowship to eighteen brothers and sisters as the Baptist Church of Mexico. Rev. Emory Osgood was moderator, and Rev. Martin E. Cook clerk, and the eighteen members of the new society were: Gamaliel Barnes, Barnet Whipple, William R. Huntley, James Roberts, Samuel Manwaren, John Manwaren, Asa Barnes, Stutely Palmer, jr., Hannah Barnes, Hannah Roberts, Fannie Manwaren, Eunice Manwaren, Prudence Carr, Lowry Barnes, Caroline Barnes, Lydia Barnes, Polly Morse and Bethiah Will- iams. The first officers were Rev. Gamaliel Barnes, pastor; Perry Allen and Stutely Palmer, jr., deacons; and Stutely Palmer, jr., clerk. The first meetings were held, at the school house where the church was organized, in other school houses, in private houses, in barns, at Colosse (then Mexico Four Corners), Red Mills, and the present village of Parish. November 5, 1821, a society for building a house of worship was organized, but the edifice was not commenced until 1823. It was finished in 1824, and cost about $2,500. It stands in Colosse, on the west side of lot 145, in the 20th township of Scriba's patent, and was the first church edifice erected in Oswego county.1 It was dedicated in the winter of 1824-25, by Rev. Nathaniel Gilbert. After several re- pairs it was rededicated December 30, 1873, by Rev. G. A. Ames. Since then it has received minor alterations, and was reopened in No- vember, 1883. About twenty-five years after the organization of 1815 the name was changed to the Baptist Church of Colosse. The first Sunday school was started in 1828, one of the earliest superintendents being Stutely Palmer, jr. Among the earlier pastors were :

Enoch Ferris, William Watkins, George B. Davis, John I. Fulton, Edmund Good- enough, William Storrs, Charles Marshall, Newell Boughton, David McFarland, Peter Goo, Ira Dudley, Albert Cole, Judson Davis, Mortimer V. Wilson, Lemon Q. Galpin, and Jones L. Davis. At present the church has a stated supply.

The First Presbyterian Church of Mexico was instituted in the barn of Shubael Alfred, by Rev. Simeon Waterman, August 20, 1810, with a membership composed entirely of women, as follows: Mrs. Shubael Alfred, Mrs. Mary Wheeler, Mrs. Rebecca Matthews, Mrs. Sarah Beebe, Mrs. Eunice Williams, Mrs Miriam Southworth and Mrs. Hannah Hos- mer. This was the result of the labors of two missionaries, Messrs. Cleveland and Waterman, whom the Connecticut Missionary Society sent into this region in 1808.

In May, 1811, at the same place, the First Congregational Society of Mexico was regularly organized, the first trustees being Peter Pratt. Barnet Whipple, Col. Sherman Hosmer, Calvin Tiffany, and Shubael Alfred. In May, 1818, the name "Congregational " was replaced by " Presbyterian," and from this period its progress was vigorous and suc- cessful. In 1829 the society numbered 420 members, but in that year it divided. A movement had been started to build a meeting house, but the location could not be amicably agreed upon. Mexico village and Prattville (as it was then called) each wanted the edifice, and all attempts to compromise failed. George Scriba in 1813, had given the society fifty acres of land on Prattham Hill,1 and in 1829 the Prattville branch erected a frame church thereon, which was dedicated by Rev. Israel Brainard about Christmas time of that year. The society continued until 1859, when it disbanded, and in August, 1863, their meeting- house was demolished. Among the ministers before the division in 1829 and after, were Revs. Israel Brainard, Oliver Leavitt, M. Dunlap, David R. Dixon, William B. Stowe, John L Marvin, Ezra Scoville and Ralph Robinson.

The Wesleyan Methodist Church of Prattville (Prattham) was organ- ized in 1859, immediately after the dissolution of the Presbyterian society, and in 1863 a house of worship was erected. It was dedicated December 11 of that year by Rev. H. B. Knight. Seventeen years later it was repaired at a cost of $333 and rededicated December 19,

1880. Among the pastors have been Revs. L. N. Stratton, A. F. Dempsey and G. L. Payne.

The First Presbyterian Church of Mexico village, an offshoot of the Presbyterian Society, previously described, was organized May 5, 1829, and instituted by Revs. Oliver Ayer, Ralph Robinson and Oliver Leavitt, February 24, 1830, as the First Presbyterian Church of Mexi- coville.

The constituent members were :

Shubael and Lucinda Alfred, Nathaniel and Lucinda Butler, Isaac and Lydia Stone, Anson and Eliza Gustin, Samuel and Caroline Wilson, Alexander and Mary McNitt, Edmund, Levi, Mary, Lucy and Louisa Matthews, Sally and Louisa Davis, Clark and Abigail Beebe, Jabin and Melinda Wood, Asa Allen, Catharine Wheeler, Laura Goit, Sally Ames, Nancy Lord, Sophia Taft, Fanny Wood and Eunice Killam.

The first pastor was Rev. Ralph Robinson, who was followed by Revs. Oliver Ayer, Alfred White, J. A. Hart, Charles Bowles, D. R. Dixon, William Blodgett, John Eastman, Josiah Leonard, Russell Whiting, and others. The present pastor is Rev. George Bayless. A church edifice was erected soon after the organization ; it was repaired in 1858, and again in 1879 at a cost of $5,000; a new organ, costing $1,400 was placed in position in December of that year ; and the church was reopened February 8, 1880.

The Methodist Episcopal Church of Mexico village .- The first to cherish and foster Methodism in the town of Mexico was Mrs. Minerva Ames, wife of Leonard Ames, in whose house Rev. Jonathan Heustis preached the first Methodist sermon in town about 1809, and organized the first class, which consisted of Mrs. Ames, Messrs. Place, Calkins and Chesebro, and Wilson Armstrong, the latter being the first leader and local exhorter. With Rev. Mr. Heustis came Rev. Benjamin Pad- dock, who also officiated. In 1810, upon the formation of the Genesee Conference, this region became a part of the Cayuga district, which included the circuits of Mexico and Black River. Rev. Jonathan Heustis was the first pastor (then known as a circuit rider) and was fol- lowed by Rev. S. Rowley. Rev. Ira Fairbanks was appointed in 1811, his salary for that year being twenty-five dollars. In 1821 this charge was a part of the Oswego circuit. In 1828 it was included in the Sal- mon River circuit, and Rev. Elisha Wheeler was appointed, and in 1831

it became the Mexico circuit, with Rev. Charles Northrup in charge. A legal organization of the society was probably effected in 1833, and for that year and the next Revs. Anson Tuller and Joseph Cross were pastors. In 1835 it became a separate station, with Rev. Jesse Penfield in charge. In 1833 a brick church edifice was erected. It was burned in 1851 and in the next year the present structure was built. It was repaired in 1878 at a cost of $2,028, and rededicated April 6, 1879, by Rev. W. F. Hemenway, pastor. In March of that year a new pipe organ was put in, and in the summer of 1864 six windows were placed in posi- tion in memory of Daniel and Henry Austin, Leonard and Minerva Ames, Rev. W. W. Rundell, Reuben Halliday, Lewis Miller, Orrin and Oliver Whitney, David B. Mains, and Mrs. S. Ellzabeth Skinner. The The present pastor is Rev. H. W. Bennett.

The Baptist Church of Mexico Village was organized as the Baptist Church of Mexicoville, January 24, 1832, by Rev. Jonathan Goodwin, the first pastor. In 1833 it had fifty-six members, among the first of whom were Jonathan and Calvin Goodwin, Reuben Smith and wife, Calvin Tiffany and Mrs. Robinson. In 1835 the Baptist Church in the northwest part of the town was united with this body, which reported for that year 115 members, with Rev. S. Davison, pastor. A church edifice was erected and dedicated in 1833, which was rebuilt in 1872 at a cost of over $3,300, and rededicated January 12, 1873, by Rev. I. Butterfield. It is a brick structure and the property includes a parson- age. The present pastor is Rev. E. F. Maine, who this year (1894) com- pletes a half century of continuous ministry.

Christ Universalist Church of Mexico was organized as the Univer- salist Society of Mexico, at the school house April 12, 1832, with twenty-four members. The first trustees were Alexander J. Danby, Avery Skinner, Joseph Lamb, Pliny Sabin and Amos Church. The moderator was Rev. O. Whiston, who was installed the first pastor, and was succeeded by Revs. Charles B. Brown, Henry Van Campen, J. S. Kibbe and others. In 1849 during the pastorate of Rev. William Sias, the society refused to be represented in association and it became ex- tinct. January 16, 1853, it was revived at a meeting conducted by W. S. Goodell, and in 1868 a legal organization was effected with fifteen members. Rev. W. N. Barber became pastor and was followed by

605

Rev. James Vincent and by the Rev. E. B. Cooper. In 1870-71 an edifice was erected and dedicated November 16, 1871.

Grace Episcopal Church of Mexico was organized in the town hall December 4, 1848, by Rev. Edward De Zeng, as Grace Church of the village of Mexico. The first officers were Charles Benedict and Alex- ander Whaley, senior and junior wardens, and Joseph E. Bloomfield, Luther H. Conklin, Cyrus Whitney, Levi Downing, William Cooper, Hiram Allen, Levi Warner and Luke D. Smith, vestrymen. In 1871 the present handsome stone edifice was built, the corner stone of which was laid June 22 of that year by Bishop Huntington. It was opened for worship by the rector, Rev. George H. Watson, June 15, 1871, and after being freed from debt was consecrated by Bishop Huntington October 3, 1880. The bell was the gift of Luther H. and Miss Frances M. Conklin, in memory of their mother. The parish is now (1894) without a rector.

The North Mexico Methodist Episcopal Church was built as a union edifice by the Methodists and Baptists in 1846. In 1875 the former purchased the Baptist interest and since then have occupied it. Prior to 1875 it was a branch of the Holmesville.society. Among the early members and supporters of the church were:

Frederick, Adaline, Philo and Sally Everts, Joel and Electa Roberts, Benjamin and Sarah Midlam, Mrs. Joseph Copp, Deacon and Lydia Manwaren, James Manwaren, David and Mary Everts, William and Louisa Manwaren, Lyman Loomis, Esther Rob- erts, Philander Ormsby, Thomas R. Howlett and Albert Everts.

The Wesleyan Methodist Church of Texas was organized as a society by Rev. L. N. Stratton May 24, 1867, with about twenty mem- bers. June 22, 1868, the corner-stone was laid under the title "Texas Union Church," and the building was dedicated March 11, 1869. In December, 1871, it was burned and the next year the present one was erected. It was dedicated December 12, and was considerably re- paired in 1889. The first pastor was Rev. L. N. Stratton; the society is small.

The South Mexico Methodist Episcopal Church had its nucleus in a class that was attached at an early day to the church in Mexico village. Later it became a part of the Palermo circuit and on March 1, 1849, the present society was organized with about 120 members. In 1850

606

the church edifice was built and was dedicated in March, 1851. Among the early pastors were Revs. Charles Northrop, Anson Tuller, Harris Kingsley, J. N. Brown and others.

The Roman Catholic Church of Mexico, situated on French street about two miles southwest of Colosse, was erected about 1840, at which time the parish comprised about sixty communicants. Services have generally been regularly maintained.

The Protestant Lutheran Church of Mexico, situated about two miles south of Colosse, was first organized with sixteen communicants. In 1841-42 a house of worship was built, mainly through the efforts of John Gridley ; it was dedicated in 1842, by Rev. N. Van Alstyne.

CHAPTER XXVI.

THE TOWN OF NEW HAVEN.

New Haven was the last town taken from Mexico before the organi- zation of Oswego county. It was formed on the 2d of April, 1813, (Laws 1813, Chap. 107), and as originally organized it included the entire nineteenth township of Scriba Patent and nothing more. This township was originally called by Mr. Scriba Vera Cruz, which name he also gave to the city he caused to be laid out at the mouth of Sal- mon Creek, which was in this township. By Chapter 264 of the Laws of 1836, as amended by Chapter 33 of the Laws of 1837, lots 24, 25, 26 and 27 of this township, which included the mouth of Salmon Creek and formed a strip of land about half a mile wide running along the lake shore and which separated the town of Mexico from the lake, were taken from New Haven and annexed to Mexico, to the great delight of the latter. This left New Haven with its present area of 18,303 acres. It is the smallest town in the county, being five miles east and west by five and three- fourths north and south, and is divided into 133 lots, which are numbered from the northwest corner east- wardly.

New Haven is situated near the center of the extreme northwestern

part of the county, and is bounded on the north by Lake Ontario, on the east by Mexico, on the south by Palermo and Volney, and on the west by Scriba. The surface is gently rolling or nearly level, inclining toward the lake. The soil is principally a sandy and gravelly loam and is underlaid with gray sandstone, which crops out in many localities. Adequate drainage is afforded by Spring Brook and Catfish and But- terfly Creeks, which flow northwardly into Lake Ontario. At the mouth of the Butterfly there is quite an extensive marsh and in the southwest part of the town there is a similar swamp.

The early settlers of New Haven found a dense wilderness heavily timbered with pine, hemlock, beech and maple, and for many years the conversion of this into marketable lumber furnished profitable employ- ment. Numerous saw mills were built on the streams, and the work of clearing the land went forward rapidly. In 1850 there were seven saw mills in town. In 1860 there were nine saw mills, two grist mills, and other manufacturing establishments in active operation. As the forests fell agriculture superseded all other industries. Stock raising in time was given considerable attention, and dairying became of paramount importance. The first cheese factory in town was built in 1864. Within recent years, fruit growing has become one of the chief industries, and at present New Haven ranks first in this respect in Oswego county. The Strawberry Growers' Association, organized a few years ago through the efforts of Sterling A. Newell, who served as secretary for seven years, has been largely instrumental in developing and fostering this industry. Blackberries, raspberries, currants, pears, peaches, apples and grapes are grown in large quantities, while the grains, hay, potatoes and corn, receive due attention.

The first road in the town was opened prior to 1806 and doubtless was the one leading to Scriba's proposed city of Vera Cruz at the mouth of Little Salmon Creek. Others were laid out and made passable as the population increased, and have generally been kept in good repair. In 1814 there were twelve road districts. The Oswego and Rome plank road, authorized in 1844 and completed a few years afterward, passed through New Haven and was a busy thoroughfare. The town now has sixty-six road districts with a pathmaster in each. In the fall of 1865 the 'Rome and Oswego Railroad, now the R., W. & O., was put

in operation, running about midway between New Haven village and Lake Ontario with a station at Demster post-office. It gave a new impetus to the growth of the town and has ever since afforded excellent shipping facilities.

The first town meeting was held at the house of Ansel Snow, in the village of New Haven, on April 19, 1814, more than one year after the town was formed. Sixty-six votes were cast and the following officers were chosen :

David Easton, supervisor ; Jonathan Wing, town clerk; David Easton, Nathaniel Marvin, and William Taylor, assessors ; Joseph Bailey and Daniel Hall, overseers of the poor; Joseph Bailey, jr., Anson Drake, and Joseph Boynton, highway commissioners; Joseph Bailey, Jonathan Wing, and Nathaniel Marvin, commissioners of common schools ; David Easton, Anson Drake, and Eliphalet Colt, inspectors of common schools; George C. Bailey, collector ; George C. Bailey and Crandall Kenyon, constables; Daniel Hall and Nathaniel Marvin, fenceviewers; Almon Lindsley and Eleazer Snow, pound- masters; Elias May, Chauncey Drake, Jesse Smith, Robert Jerrett, William Taylor, Henry Hawley, Eliphalet Colt, Lyman Hatch, Daniel Hatch, Philip Delano, Crandall Kenyon, and John Wolcott, pathmasters.

The supervisors of New Haven have been as follows :

David Easton, 1814-16; Orris Hart, 1817-20; David Easton, 1821-23; Seth Severance, 1824-29 ; William Bullen, 1830 ; Orris Hart, 1831 ; Seth Severance, 1832-38; Norman Rowe, 1839-40; Seth Severance, 1841-42; Hosea Cornish, 1843-45; Seth Severance, 1846; Norman Rowe, 1847; Lorenzo W. Tanner, 1848; Charles Nichols, 1849; L. W. Tanner, 1850; Seth Severance, 1851; Abram W. Hewitt, 1852; John C. Gillespie, 1853-54; Avery W. Severance, 1855-56; Lorenzo W. Tanner, 1857; Nor- man Rowe, 1858; L. W. Tanner, 1859; Avery W. Severance, 1860-71 ; Henry J. Daggett, 1872-76; Schuyler M. Barker, 1877; H. J. Daggett, 1878; S. M. Barker, 1879-80; Henry B. Allen, 1881; S. M. Barker, 1882; George W. Daggett, 1883-84 ; S. M. Barker, 1885 ; George M. Whitney, 1886-90; Lucian Snow, 1891; Frank W. Stevens, 1892-95.

Jonathan Wing served as town clerk from 1814 to 1816 inclusive, William Taylor from 1817 to 1818, Hezekiah Nichols from 1819 to 1824, Isaac Whipple from 1825 to 1829, Levi Rowe from 1830 to 1831, and Chester R. Wells in 1833. David Easton was appointed a justice of the peace in 1807, Joseph Bailey in 1810, and Jonathan Wing in 1811 ; these were the only justices who lived in New Haven while it was still a part of Mexico. The first justices appointed after the formation of the town were Jonathan Wing, Samuel Cherry, Lyman Blakesley, and Israel Ransom.

609

THE TOWN OF NEW HAVEN.

The town officers for 1894-5 were as follows :

Frank V. Stevens,1 supervisor ; B. T. Armstrong, clerk ; H. B. Allen, B. T. Arm- strong, James E. Baker, and Newton W. Parsons, justices of the peace; L. J. Groves, highway commissioner ; Edward M. Mond, collector; F. W. Mellon, overseer of the poor; William B. Searles, Clarence D. Smith, and William E. Booth, assessors; H. A. Stacy, jr., Silas Chesbro, and Frank Elmhirst, excise commissioners.

The first permanent settler 2 of New Haven was Solomon Smith, who located on lot 47 in 1800 and built the first log house in town, near the subsequent residence of David Russell. He also erected, in 1812, the first frame building, a dwelling, and soon after it was enclosed he gave a dance or " house- warming." He died here November 28, 1824, at the age of seventy-five. Of his several sons John R. was killed at the raising of Orris Hart's ashery in October, 1823, and Jesse died in town aged over eighty.

In 1804 Capt. Gardner Wyman and Eleazer Snow came in from Eaton, Madison county. It would thus appear that Mr. Smith and family were the sole inhabitants of New Haven during a period of four years. Mr. Wyman obtained his title of captain in the war of 1812 and was the first man in town to command a militia company. His son, Meres Wyman, died here March 17, 1884, aged ninety-four. He once attended a dance at Mexico Point, going on foot to Colosse to borrow a horse, returning to New Haven for his girl, and traveling in all over fifty miles in making the round trip. Captain Wyman erected the third log house in town, on lot 57, at the east end of the old Barker farm. Leander Snow settled on the north side of Catfish Creek, near New Haven Station, on the farm which has always remained in the family. His son Daniel was born in 1803 and died here in October, 1881. He had five children, of whom Lucien, born in 1838, occupies the old homestead. Two other sons of Eleazer Snow were Charles and Lebbeus, both of whom commanded sailing vessels between Oswego and Lewiston. During a down trip a terrific storm partially wrecked the craft of Charles Snow and all on board, about thirty in number,

1 Frank V. Stevens was born in New Haven in 1857, has served as assessor two terms, and for three years was a member of the life saving crew at Salmon Creek station;

2 French's State Gazetteer, 1860, states that the first settlement was commenced by Messrs. Rood and Doolittle at New Haven in 1798, but F. W. Squires, who is recognized as authority on local history, gives this honor to Solomon Smith. Rood and Doolittle doubtless settled at what is now Texas or Mexico Point.

were drowned. The vessel of which Lebbeus was captain was saved in the mouth of the Genesee River.

Chauncey Drake and John Ames also settled here in 1804. The lat- ter built the second log house in town. Mr. Drake located near Cheever's Mills, and after the first mill was erected there he conducted it. Chester Drake, a cabinet maker, was born here in 1840.
