After the war ceased immigration revived and the better portions of the town gradually filled up with a substantial class of citizens. In 1816 Samuel Stowell, then twenty-five years of age, made a visit to his brother Orrin and in 1817 became a permanent settler. He died in 1886. The year he came there were then living in town, besides many of those already mentioned, James Wood, John B. Tully, Allen Gilbert and sons, Edward and Allen, jr, on the road to Sandy Creek; Frede - rick Brooks, and Timothy, jr., and John, sons of Timothy Balch, sr., in the vicinity of Orwell village; Asa Hewitt, near the river; and two Lewis families and Perley Wyman, above Pekin.

William Strong was a son of Eli and Charlotte (West) Strong, who came to Redfield from Connecticut about 1790. Nearly a quarter of a century later they removed to Orwell, where William was born Febru- ary 12, 1814, being the fourth of five children. Eli Strong was post- master at Orwell twenty-four years. When twenty-one William Strong purchased the homestead, upon which he resided until 1867, when he came with his father to Pulaski, where the latter died at the age of eighty-six.

In 1817, the year of the new town's organization, a militia company was formed with John Reynolds as captain, Eli Strong, jr., as lieuten- ant, and Timothy Balch as ensign. The latter two subsequently be- came captains. Mr. Reynolds was a prominent man in Orwell and aided in many ways to organize its government and develop its resources. In 1818 Nathaniel Beadle and his son John with five others came into the town and settled near Orwell Corners, which then consisted of only two corners, the road eastward not having

been laid out. John Beadle was born in January, 1801, and died in March, 1885.

In 1820 the population (including the inhabitants of what is now Boylston), had increased to 488. In that year, or a little later, Jonas Thompson erected a saw mill at Pekin and in it placed a single run of stone, which was the first attempt to establish a grist mill in town. Prior to that time grists were carried to Pulaski, a journey that was fraught with more or less peril, as the roads were filled with stumps and other obstructions. Settlers then were coming in rapidly, the for- ests were disappearing, and cabins were rising in the clearings in all directions.

In 1826 Nathan F. Montague settled on the farm subsequently occu- pied by H. H. Potter, where his son James J. was born February 2, 1836. In 1855 the family removed to another farm. The father lost his life by an accident in 1859. John E. Potter came to the town in 1828 and died here. Other settlers prior to 1830 were Joseph M. Bon- ner, Eli S. Bennett, Edward S. Bonner, Alonzo Hitton, Aroma Blount, A. Caswell, Alexander Potter, Daniel Pratt, George Potter, Allen Stowell, I. N. Stowell, John Woodbury and George W. Cogswell.

Between 1830 and 1840 Albert E. Bonner, James Hitton, A. D. Bonner, Dr. James F. Davis (dentist), D. Mckinney, Henry J. Stowell, S. B. Miner, John Parker, Horace Parker, and Elvin Potter became residents.

Hon. John Parker, who settled in this town in June, 1834, was born in Steuben, Oneida county, December 27, 1810, the son of John and Louisa (Frisby) Parker, natives of Columbia county, N. Y. He mar- ried Polly E. Bonner, March 15, 1831, who died November 18, 1873. They had six sons and three daughters, of whom Horace became a substantial citizen of Orwell. In 1874 Mr. Parker married Mrs. Maria Loring, nee Davis. He held several town offices and represented his district as a Republican in the Assembly of 1866 and 1870. He was always prominent in political affairs both of the town and county. His grandfather was killed in the Revolutionary war, his father served in the war of 1812, and four of his sons and a son-in-law participated in the war of the Rebellion, in which the latter lost his life.

Among the settlers between 1840 and 1860 were Edmund G. Bon-

ner, Charles Kaine, Newman S. Crossett, S. C. Davis, William Lattimer, John Washburn, Edward Near, Andrew J. Thomas, William Shipley, and Isaac Sidebottom. S. C. Davis located in Orwell in March, 1851. He was born in Steuben, N. Y., December 22, 1822, being the young- est of twelve children of Colonel Ichabod and Mary F. Davis.

" Historical Collections of the State of New York," published in 1846, speaks of Orwell as being "distant from Albany 157 miles, and from Pulaski, centrally distant, east nine miles. Population, 809. The falls of the Salmon River here are 107 feet perpendicular, and with a width during freshets of 250 feet. Above them the rocky banks rise eighty feet-below, 200 above the water."

The population at various periods has been as follows: In 1830, 501; 1835, 679; 1840, 809 ; 1845, 1,016; 1850, 1,106; 1855, 1,258; 1860, 1,435; 1865, 1,427; 1870, 1,215; 1875, 1,455; 1880, 1,550; 1890, 1,370.

In 1818 the town comprised two school districts, and in that year a school was taught by Lucy Gilbert at the house of James Wood. The first school in town, however, was taught by Jesse Aiken in 1810. During the summer of 1818 a small frame school house was erected at Orwell village, where school was kept the following winter by Samuel Stowell. At the same time a Mr. Wheelock taught a school at Pekin. The town now has eleven school districts with a school house in each, which were attended in 1892-3 by 310 scholars and taught by twelve teachers. The value of school buildings and sites is $4,600 ; assessed valuation of the districts, $339,748 ; public money received from the State, $1,404 .- 46; raised by local tax, $1,223.66. The districts are locally disignated as follows: No. I, Potter; 2, Castor ; 3, Pekin ; 4, Orwell village ; 5, River; 6, Chateaugay ; 7, Vorea; 8, Stillwater; 9, Pine Meadow; IO, New Scriba; II, Beecherville.

During the war of the Rebellion the town of Orwell sent 184 men to the Union army and navy. Of this number, which more than filled the town's quotas, Captain Burch, John J. Hollis, Oramel B. Olmstead, Alfred N. Beadle, Dr. John S. Stillman, and Charles H. Parker were commissioned officers. All served with credit to their town and county. After the war closed a few remained in the regular service. On July 4, 1894, an appropriate memorial to these 184 brave men was unveiled in Evergreen Cemetery in Orwell. The monument

cost $1,550, and fittingly commemorates their patriotism and courage and the gratitude and love of their fellow citizens, who generously bore the expense by subscription.

Supervisors' statistics of 1894 : assessed valuation of real estate, $351,780; equalized, $374.072; personal property, $20,650; town tax, $1,967.75; county tax, $2 210.44 ; total tax levy; $5,001.63; ratio of tax on $100, $1.34; dog tax, $80.50. The town constitutes a single election district, and in November, 1894, polled 257 votes.

Villages .- Orwell post-office, or Orwell Corners as it is locally known, in a pleasant place of about 300 inhabitants. In 1827 the village consisted of two or three log houses. The first store was opened about 1830, but the honor of being the first merchant is in dispute between Alvin Strong and the firm of Gilbert & Decker. Authorities differ, and at this distant day it is impossible to establish which is enti- tled to priority. Timothy Balch, as previously stated, built and opened the first tavern. In early days the place was given the name of " Moscow " by young Elliott Eastman, who had a penchant for things foreign. But the Russian designation was superseded by the present name, Orwell, upon the establishment of the post-office.

About 1835 Reuben Salisbury built the first grist mill at the Corners and the first of any consequence in town. It has two runs of stone and is owned by W. F. Keeney, who succeeded D. B. Hanchett as proprie- tor in 1872. About 1838 a small tannery was erected by Orrin Wes- ton ; in 1854 it was purchased and enlarged by Weston & Lewis, who rebuilt the establishment upon its destruction by fire in August, 1862. It subsequently passed to Lane, Pierce & Co., of Boston, by whom it was conducted until 1884. After remaining idle for about three years it was purchased by A. E. Olmstead and converted into a chair factory. Two years later he sold to Frank B. Woodbury, the present proprietor. At one time the tannery employed from twenty-five to fifty men and brought considerable money into the town.

Among the later business and manufacturing interests of the village may be mentioned the cheese factory of Albert Thompson, the planing mill of Stowell & Lattimer, the saw mill of W. Henderson, and the dry goods store of G. F. Woodbury. The present industries are conducted by A. E. Olmstead (successor to O. B. Olmstead), E. S. Beecher, Willis Coon, and S. J. Olmstead, dry goods, etc .; R. B. House, drugs and

groceries ; Ralph Pratt, cheese box factory ; William Lattimer, steam planing mill; Lyon & Van Auken, George Stowell, and Edward Barker, manufacturers of ladders; Henry J. Stowell, undertaker and planing mill; A. E. Olmstead and Frank B. Woodbury, saw mills ; Allen Campbell, Ira Pratt, and Clayton Pratt, blacksmiths; Nelson Burch, shoemaker ; Dr. James F. Davis, dentist ; Albert Barker, Edward Lyon, and Freelove Davis, lawyers ; and Dr. George W. Nelson, the only physician in town.

The village has suffered from several small fires, the first of impor- tance occurring in August, 1862, which destroyed the tannery, the store of W. Beecher, the Beadle block, familiarly known as " the Krem- lin " and other buildings. In May, 1888, H. H. Howell's machine shop, planing mill, and dwelling, were burned, and in December following the hotel of S. W. Springsteen, two stores, and other structures were con- sumed.

Molino is a small hamlet in the south part of the town. Following his penchant for applying foreign appellations to local settlements, Elliott Eastman early gave it the name of " Pekin," which still clings to the place in a more familiar sense than the title under which the post- office was established there prior to 1840. This office was long ago discon- tinued. To the little settlement on the river flats farther down the stream the youth applied the name "Syphax." The village commenced with a store, which was opened sometime before 1827. About 1850 a Meth- odist church was erected, and several years later a cheese factory, the first in town, was placed in operation by Bonfoy & Bennett ; it is now owned by Homer West.

Other localities in town are Vorea and "Shatagee " (Chateaugay), but they are mere collections of dwellings.

Churches .- The first religious organization effected in Orwell was by the Presbyterians in 1809, but no regular supply of ministers was had until December, 1845, after which Revs. Wilson, Wheelock, and Webb officiated at various times. This society eventually grew weak in num- bers and finally disbanded. They commenced the erection of the pres- ent church edifice in Orwell village in 1842. On March 13, 1858, the remaining members of this band of worshipers, and others, under the pastorate of Rev. John Shepherd, organized the Congregational

636

church of Orwell. The constituent members were Francis and B. Maria Beadle, Orpha Burkitt, Malinda Groat, David and Laura Hollis, Jane Potter, Elon and Abigail Stowell, Selinda and Temperance A. Stowell, and Cornelius and Ruth Acker. The deacons were Elon Stowell and David Hollis. In 1882 the edifice was remodeled and enlarged. The pastors succeeding Rev Mr. Shepherd have been Revs. Cutter, Bates, Decker, Crosby, Frank N. Greeley, Wheelock, Doug- lass, Griffith, Branch, Raven, and Davies.

Methodist Episcopal Churches .- It is said that Bishop Asbury, on his way from Canada early in the century, came through Saekett's Har- bor and followed the old military road through Redfield and thence continued down the Salmon River to Pekin, Williamstown, Camden and Rome. The beginning of Methodist preaching in Orwell was at Pekin by Ira Fairbanks in 1811. A society was organized in that neighbor- hood and since that organization Pekin has remained a regular appoint- ment. A small church was built there in 1850. Elder Fairbanks, during his year on the Mexico circuit, received only $25.00 and left the charge out of debt. The number of members then on the circuit was 258. Among the early members of the class at Pekin were Fred- erick Eastman, at whose house the meetings were held, and who had previously been a Presbyterian; the two Nathaniel Bennetts and their wives; Millen Aiken, John and Caroline Reynolds; Robert Wooley, Aaron West, Betsey Beadle, and a man named Herrick, and the wives and sons of most of these. After school houses were built meetings were held in them a part of the time and in dwelling houses-chiefly in Mr. Eastman's and Judge Reynolds's, which were more commodious than most others. In 1812 Isaac Teller was appointed to the Mexico circuit. In 1815 the number of members on the circuit had increased to 354. In IS23 George White was one of the circuit preachers and lived in Orwell. One of his appointments was at the "Dutch Settlement " of about ten families up the river from the present Stillwater bridge. In 1825-30 the disciplinary allowance for preachers was $100 for a young man and $200 for a married man.

The Orwell class was organized in 1841 by William Tripp, who preached in a little house that had been built by the Baptists. About 1842 they joined with the Congregationalists in building a new union

church, which has ever since been occupied by the two societies on alternate Sabbaths. The building cost $1,963, and was dedicated in February, 1845. The first quarterly meeting held in Pekin was in 1852, on which occasion a claim was presented by the preacher for quarterage $200, house rent $18, fuel $10, table expenses $40, traveling expenses $8, the whole being apportioned to Pineville $138, Pekin $69, and Moscow $69. The parsonage at Orwell was built in 1866. The pres- ent circuit has three charges-Orwell, Pekin, and Richland Station. Services are held on alternate Sundays at Orwell and Pekin and every Sunday at Richland. There is a Union Sunday school in which the offices are divided, the superintendent being Methodist one year and Congregationalist the next. The record of 1852 gives Samuel Salis- bury as acting pastor. His successors have been :

M. H. Gaylord, 1853; H. M. Church, 1854; G. W. Ellwood, 1855; P. H. Miles, 1856-7 ; S. B. Whitcomb, 1858-9; J. N. Brown, 1860-61 ; Joseph de Larme, 1862-3; J. S. George, 1864-6; S. F. Kenyon, 1867; F. Devitt, 1868-9; L. Kelsey, 1870-72; L. R. Grant, 1873-4; J. R. Crofoot, 1875-7; A. M. Fradenburgh, 1878-80; B. De- Forest Snyder, 1881-3; Horace Chase, 1884 ; George Mattoon, October, 1885, to April, 1886; B. Day Brown, 1886-8 ; Truman Ward, 1889; W. J. Hancock, 1890-2; W. H. Jago, 1893-4.

CHAPTER XXVIII.

THE TOWN OF OSWEGO.

The town of Oswego, situated in the northwest corner of the county and lying wholly within the old Military Tract, was erected from Han- nibal the 20th of April, 1818. May 20, 1836, a trianglar tract bor- dering the river at Minetto was annexed from Granby. March 24, 1848, that part of Oswego city lying west of the river was taken from the town, thus leaving the town its present area of 20,536 acres. It is bounded on the east by Oswego city and Scriba, on the south by Granby and Hannibal, on the west by Sterling, Cayuga county and Lake Ontario, and on the north by the lake and Oswego city.

The surface is gently rolling and in some places quite broken, the

whole having a northerly or northeasterly inclination. Abrupt bluffs border the lake and river and afford considerable picturesque scenery. The soil is a productive gravelly loam underlaid with a red sandstone of the Medina formation, which frequently appears in boulders and water- worm pebbles. The principal streams are Eight-Mile, Nine-Mile, Snake, Rice, and Minetto Creeks, which afford excellent drainage and some valuable mill privileges. At Minetto the river furnishes an im- mense water-power.

The town of Oswego was originally covered with a dense growth of heavy timber, which long furnished employment to numerous saw mills and to scores of lumbermen, for whose product a ready market was found at the mouth of the river. But the primitive forests have long since disappeared, and in their place are seen fertile fields and com- fortable homes.

Soon after the pioneers threaded the wilderness, roads were cut through the forests to what is now Oswego city, but several years elapsed before passable thoroughfares were surveyed and opened. The first highway in town was the road leading from Oswego up the river through Minetto to Oswego Falls, which was surveyed and opened in 1810 or 1811. The Fifth street road, now a popular thoroughfare, was laid out by William Moore, the first surveyor, in 1813. The early bridges were made of logs.

April 17, 1816, Jacob L. Lazalere, James Geddes, and John McFad- den were authorized by the Legislature to lay out a State road four rods wide, "beginning at the ferry on the west side of the river in the village of Oswego, and thence by the most eligible route through the towns of Hannibal, Sterling, and Galen (now Clyde), to the bridge over the Canandaigua outlet at the block-house in the town of Galen." This was the old Hannibal road. On the same day the Legislature authorized Seth Cushman, of Lysander, and Edmund Hawks and William Moore, of Hannibal, to lay out a road four rods wide from " Snow's bridge in Syracuse and thence through the towns of Lysander and Hannibal to Oswego." The Oswego and Sodus Branch Turnpike Company was incorporated March 28, 1817, with a capital stock of $2,500, for the purpose of constructing a road from a point on the Owasco Creek in Mentz through Cato, Sterling, and Hannibal to

Oswego. All these thoroughfares passed through the town of Oswego, and materially aided its settlement. Over them stage lines were main- tained, making them scenes of considerable activity. About 1846-7 plank roads came into existence. In 1850 one was completed from Oswego to Sterling Center, but with the decline of these highways it was abandoned. Other roads were surveyed and opened to accommo- date the increasing settlements, and at the present time the town has sixty-four road districts.

Excepting in the village of Minetto the inhabitants of the town are principally engaged in agricultural pursuits. In former years large quantities of wheat were raised, but that was long ago superseded by diversified farming. Fruit, comprising many varieties, is profitably grown, as are also the grains, hay, corn, potatoes and vegetables. Per- haps no town in the county has devoted more systematic efforts toward the development of agriculture than Oswego. March 13, 1869, the Union Village Farmers' Club was organized, with Thomas G. Thompson as president, and in 1870 it was chartered as the Oswego Town Agri- cultural and Horticultural Society. A fine hall was erected on the farm of Mr. Thompson, at a cost of $2,000, and dedicated June 23, 1870. Exhibitions were held for several years. Brick has been exten- sively manufactured, there being at one time five or six yards in active operation in different parts of the town.

The first town meeting was held at the school house in Oswego village Tuesday, May 5, 1818, and the following officers were chosen :

Eleazer Perry, supervisor; William Dalloway, town clerk; Henry Eagle, Henry Everts, Eleazer Perry, jr., assessors ; Matthew McNair, William Fay, jr., Erastus Todd, commissioners of highways ; Matthew McNair and Eleazer Perry, jr., overseers of the poor; Asa Dudley, collector ; Asa Dudley and John S. Newton, constables; Alvin Bronson, Samuel B. Beach, John Moore, jr., commissioners of common schools ; Walter Colton, George Fisher, and William Moore, school inspectors; Alvin Bronson and Samuel B. Beach, commissioners of gospel lots.

The supervisors have been :

Eleazer Perry, 1818; Jonathan Deming, 1819-20; Matthew McNair, 1821; Alvin Bronson, 1822-24 ; Matthew McNair, 1825-30; George Fisher, 1831; Joel Turrill, 1832 ; David P. Brewster, 1833; Jacob N. Bonesteel, 1834-35; W. F. Allen, 1836-37; Patrick H. Hard, 1838; Walter W. White, 1839; Matthew McNair, 1840; W. W. White, 1841; Daniel H. Marsh, 1842; Joel Turrill, 1843; James Platt, 1844; Luther

The town officers for 1895 were :

Lewis P. Taylor, supervisor : S. E. Metcalf, town clerk; John F. Brown, John Bishop, Milton S. Coe, and Albert A. Sabin, justices of the peace; Robert Lippincott, William Taggert and Lester C. Wright, assessors; Frank Doyle, highway commissioner; William Powell, collector ; William Leadley, overseer of the poor; T. G. Thompson, J. A. Per- kins, and Maxon Lewis, auditors.

The first settler in the town of Oswego was Asa Rice, who came from Connecticut, down the Oswego River, and settled on lot 2 October 6, 1797. For a time he lived in a tent at the mouth of Three-Mile Creek, and when his log shanty was erected he moved into that. This latter habitation stood on the site of Union Village (Fruit Valley) post- office and was the first building of any kind in the territory under con- sideration. Upon its completion Mr. Rice formally christened the place with a bottle of wine, giving it the name, "Union Village," which it has ever since borne. With him came two or three other families, but all removed before winter set in, leaving Mr. Rice as the first and only permanent settler. His son Arvin, who accompanied the little band of pioneers, was then eleven years of age. In 1809 he settled near Han- nibal village and died there in 1878. His son Arvin, now a lawyer in Fulton, was born there in 1845. Asa Rice made the first clearing, planted and raised the first crops, and set out the first orchard-all on lot 2. He passed through many hardships and privations, and during the winter after his arrival his infant child actually died of starvation, which was the first death in town. The first birth was that of Thomas Jeffer- son Rice in 1801. The first marriage occurred in 1800, the contracting parties being Augustus Ford and Miss Rice. Mrs. Rice and her daugh- ter did the weaving for their neighbors. There being no distilleries in the vicinity, Mr. Rice made from honey a fermented drink called

"metheglin," which was sweet and pleasant, but somewhat intoxicating. He built the first frame house about 1810 and also the first frame barn in the town. About the same time, with a Mr. Brace, he erected on Rice Creek the first saw mill at Union Village.

Mr. Rice apparently was the only permanent settler of the town until 1800, when Reuben Pixley came in and purchased fifty acres of him, which he sold a few years later to a Mr. Brace. Daniel Burt arrived in 1802 and a Mr. Beckwith in 1804. Eleazer Perry, the first supervisor, came in 1805, while Jacob Thorpe and Jonathan Buell were settlers in 1806, the latter locating on lot 29. Montgomery Perry and Mehetabel Rice were married about 1812. Daniel Robinson came in 1809 and Nathan Drury about 1810. The latter was from Massachusetts and located on lot 30, and in order to raise a crop of corn was obliged to watch his field and drive away the bears. Mr. Robinson had a clay bed on his farm and manufactured bricks. Soon after 1830 he erected on lot 9 the first brick house in the town.

Settlement progressed very slowly until after the war of 1812. The close proximity to the warlike scenes at Oswego had a marked influ- ence not only upon immigrants seeking homes in the then " Far West," but upon the safety and peace of those who had already settled in the wilderness. Several of the pioneers joined the American forces, while their families guarded the little clearings and met with fortitude the priva- tions of frontier life. A few settlers came in during those years. Among them were David Gray, who migrated from Saratoga county in 1812, lo- cated on lot 21, and died June 6, 1813 ; William Moore, the first surveyor, and Paul Whittemore, who also arrived in 1812; Elihu W. Gifford, who came from Washington county in 1812, settled first on lot 92 and later on lot 91, and died there in 1848; Nathan Farnham, from Ben- nington, Vt., who located on lot 2 in 1813 and on lot 3 in 1816; Syl- vanus Bishop, who took up his residence on lot 4 in 1813; Chauncey Coats, an atheletic man and probably the strongest man in the county, who came from Massachusetts in 1814 and settled on lot 12, living first in a log cabin covered with ash bark; and Daniel Pease, who came from the same State about the same time and located on lot II, where his sons Alfred and Levi, grandsons of Asa Rice, have since resided. Nathan Farnham was born in Bennington, Vt., December 24, 1792, and
