creased to fifty cents ; but no bounties for wolves are mentioned in the early records For support of the poor the appropriations have varied from about $50 at first to $190 in 1854, $600 in 1856, $1,300 in 1864, and $1,700 in 1870.

In April, 1803, two men, William Skinner and Stephen Lindsey, came through Redfield and Boylston into the present town of Sandy Creek. The former, who was a man of considerable property, settled in the eastern part of what is now Lacona village, where, on the banks of Sandy Creek, he purchased 400 acres of land. Mr. Lindsey went on to Ellisburg, but soon settled about half a mile from Wigwam Cove in the extreme northwest corner of this town. His daughter, Eunice, then about twelve years old, died that summer and was the first white person whose death occurred in the town's present limits. Mr. Skinner had an adopted son, Levi. then five years of age, and was accompanied by two young men named Butler and Moreton, who lived with him through the summer and engaged in clearing land for themselves. The latter sold out to Mr. Skinner in the fall, and both he and Butler re- turned to Oneida county, whence the first settlers came. Mr. Skinner bought some land in Ellisburg and moved back and forth no less than seven times in two years. About 1807 he sold his Sandy Creek prop- erty to Peter Whiteside and settled permanently in Ellisburg. Upon Mr. Whiteside's tombstone in the Sandy Creek cemetery is the follow- ing epitaph :

Here lies the body of Mr. Peter Whiteside, who departed this life in 1825. Mr. Whiteside was an active and energetic man, cherishing a love for the fine arts, and soaring sublimely above superstition and ridicule; but he ceases to delight us with his counsels, and his afflicted consort erects this monument to the memory of the man she loved.

Early in 1804 Joseph Hurd and Elias Howe moved in from Augusta, Oneida county, and settled on the creek just below Mr. Skinner. The former purchased Butler's claim, and during that summer erected, with William Skinner, the first saw-mill in town. His daughter, Laura, born in February, 1805, was the first white child born in Sandy Creek. She married Asahel Hale, of Pulaski, moved to Peoria, Ill., and died there in April, 1886. Mr. Hurd was appointed a justice of the peace for Williamstown in 1806, and for Richland in 1808, and was the first supervisor of Richland in 1807-08. The second birth in this town was

that of Polly, daughter of Elias Howe, on May 7, 1805 ; she married Pardon Earl, and subsequently resided in Mannsville, Jefferson county. Mrs. Howe died in 1807.

In 1805 several families came into Sandy Creek. George Harding, father of Mrs. Pamelia Robbins, then fourteen years old, located near Hurd and Howe. John and Simon Meacham, the latter the first super- visor of the town, and Ephraim Brewster settled near the Richland line and made the first clearings in that locality. About the same year James Hinman moved into what is now Sandy Creek village, and in 1806 built the first grist-mill in town. Later he had a log tavern there. Messrs. Noyes and Robinson located in the Howe and Hurd neighborhood, and a Mr. Knickerbocker settled about three miles northeast of Lacona. The latter's wife died in 1806, and a minister was sent for and undoubtedly preached the first sermon delivered in the town. In 1807, over the remains of Mrs. Elias Howe, and in 1808, at the burial of a Mr. Brown, funeral sermons were also preached. After that Elder Bishop, a Methodist, Elder Osgood, a Baptist, and other itinerants visited the settlements at infrequent intervals.

In 1806 Henry Patterson and Lucy Meacham were married in the Meacham neighborhood, which was the first marriage solemnized in town. Simon Meacham opened the first tavern and the first store that year. The Meachams were very prominent in the life and growth of the community, and long occupied positions of responsibility. Clark Wilder and Simon Hadley settled on the creek road west of the village in 1806.

Jabez Baldwin located three miles west of Sandy Creek village in 1809 and Daniel Ackerman and John Pierce settled near him about the same time, as did also Amasa Parker, one of the early school teachers. Asa Carpenter, a brother of Amasa, came a little later, and for fifty years served as clerk of the Congregational church of Sandy Creek.

In 1810 P. T. Titus, father of Mrs. Jotham Newton, came with his family and settled on Pine Ridge, building a log house about where Henry Seeley now lives. Soon afterward he erected the first saw mill on Deer Creek, and during the war of 1812 he hauled supplies for the government from Oswego and other points to Sackett's Harbor. He assisted in constructing the "Ridge road " and subsequently located

upon it. Mrs. Jotham Newton was born in 1800 and died in 1882. Among others who became settlers prior to 1812 were John Snyder, John and Abel Bentley, John Darling, Samuel Goodrich, Amos Jack- son, Seth Potter (who died April 19, 1885, aged ninety-three), and a Mr. Broadway. In 1812 Samuel Hadley and his son, Jesse F., the lat- ter then ten years old, located northwest of the village. At that time there were living in town, besides those previously mentioned, the fam- ilies of Harmon Ehle, Peter Combs, John Spalsbury - Harris, - Picket,- Winters and -- Sheeley, all near the Ellisburg line.

The war of 1812 probably had a greater effect upon Sandy Creek than upon any other town in Oswego county. Lying upon the route and about midway between Oswego and Sackett's Harbor, the two principal points of defense along the frontier, and itself affording in Wigwam Cove an advantageous place for landing troops and munitions of war, the settlements were in a state of constant anxiety and alarm. Besides checking immigration the struggle had a tendency to drive away the more recent comers. Nevertheless the settlers for the most part withstood the fears and sufferings incident to the situation, and their able-bodied men bore arms or aided in the movement of troops and warlike supplies. Nearly all of this class of sufficient age per- formed military duty. A company was formed of which Smith Dunlap was captain ; Nicholas Gurley, lieutenant; Samuel Dunlap, ensign ; and Reuben Hadley, orderly sergeant. Col. Thomas S. Meacham led the troops in this vicinity, and a number of the Sandy Creek men par- ticipated in the transportation of the great five-ton cable of the "Supe- rior " to Sackett's Harbor.

After peace was declared immigration revived. A Dr. Porter had been here a short, but in 1815 Dr. James A. Thompson became a per- manent settler and the first resident physician. He located at the vil- lage and remained until his death in 1859, when he was succeeded by his son, Dr. A. L. Thompson. In this year Reuben Scripture became a resident. His son Samuel was born in Nelson, N. H., October 11, 1812, and died in July, 1887. Soon afterward Smith Dunlap opened a store in Sandy Creek, and about 1817 Anson Maltby established a carding and fulling mill there. The latter was succeeded by Joseph M. Hooker in 1821, who became a resident in 1820, and who continued business for thirty-seven years. Other comers prior to 1820 were :

718

Thomas Baker, Nathan W. Noyes, Conrad Lester, and the families of Rogers, Alton, Hibbard, Hawley and Monroe, all on the Ridge road, and Jason D. Hadley, Albert Hadley, Isaac Morey, Martin Morey (died in 1888, aged eighty-one), Ira Noyes (son of Captain Noyes, died in 1887), Julius S. Robbins, John W. Sage (died in 1885), and Will- iam E. Howlett.

The latter was born in Connecticut in 1813, came here with his par- ents, and died in Lacona in June, 1885. Julius S. Robbins was born in Palmyra, N. Y., October 18, 1816, came to Sandy Creek with his parents in 1818, and in 1850 engaged in mercantile business in the vil- lage with his brother, E. V. Robbins. He was postmaster several years and also served as school commissioner, assessor, etc. Benjamin G. Robbins was born here November II, 1823, son of Valentine W., had six children, and died March 3, 1871. He was Sunday school superin- tendent fifteen years, long a member and trustee of the Congregational Church, supervisor four terms, town school superintendent some time, loan commissioner, plank road inspector, and a member of the Repub- lican county committee.

About 1820 Lindall Wilder and his father came in and settled west of the village. The former died in Scriba in December, 1885, aged ninety-two. The year 1820 also marks the settlement of the Salisbury family in Sandy Creek, where three generations have been prominent and influential. The first comers of the name were Reuben, sr., and his son, Reuben, jr. The latter, born in Vermont, December 21, 1799, built a mill at Hadley's Glen and another at Lacona, and moved thence to near Petersburg, Va., where he purchased a farm. He was a deacon of the Baptist church. Hiring slaves, he allowed them in the room while he read the Bible and prayed, and in consequence excite- ment ran high. His neighbors, organizing a party, searched his house and ordered him to leave the country, which he did, leaving his farm from which he never realized anything. He returned to Sandy Creek and died March 4, 1874. Mason Salisbury 2d, born in 1810, was act- ive in the " underground railroad," was a miller, served as justice of the peace several years and as assemblyman, and died in March, 1877. His son M. J. served two years in the Rebellion and now conducts the grist mill in Sandy Creek, which he rebuilt in 1885. Near the site his father remodeled an old mill, which finally passed to M. J. Salisbury and was burned in December, 1884 .- Dea. Enos Salisbury, born in

Vermont in 1806, came here at an early day, married first, Rebecca Tuttle and second, Esther W. Alton, and died December 13, 1894. He was a member of the Baptist church fifty-seven years and served most of the time as deacon. Benjamin F. Salisbury, son of Nathan, was born here in 1824 and died September 16, 1885. His father was an early tavernkeeper on the north side of the creek in the village and was suc- ceeded by his son. The hotel was burned in 1884.

In 1822 Dr. John G. Ayer arrived here and practiced medicine many years. His father, Rev. Oliver Ayer, became at that time the first set- tled pastor in town. February 6, of the same year, Capt. Stephen Lindsey was born where the Lindsey Hotel now stands. He was a brother of Asa Lindsey and the father of Guilford Lindsey and Mrs. Frank Harmon, and died in January, 1895. In 1823 Jotham Newton, father of Pitt M. Newton, who was born in 1825, moved into the town and settled on fifty acres adjoining P. T. Titus. Mr. Titus finally sold his farm and moved into the village, where he built a furnace just below the grist mill.

Between 1820 and 1830 was the transition period from the rude log cabin to comfortable frame dwellings. Passable roads had been sur- veyed and opened in the most thickly populated portions of the town, and new thoroughfares were laid out as necessity demanded. The Ridge road at this time was a busy highway. At the first town meet- ing the sum of $250 was appropriated for roads and bridges, and the usual road districts were designated. In 1825 the town contained about 1,615 inhabitants. Among the settlers of this decade were Leman Baldwin, Miles Blodgett, William H. Bettinger, Hiram M. Stevens, Le- ander Tifft, John Wilder and others. Mr. Blodgett, about 1836, built a tannery in the southeast corner of the town and conducted it nearly half a century. Hiram M. Stevens died June 1, 1885.

Of the settlers during the years from 1830 to 1840 mention should be made of John Edwards and his son Alfred, Hon. Andrew S. Warner, William H. Cottrell, Joel Morey, Ira Oyer, William Stevens, and New- ton M. Thompson. Dairying, and especially cheese-making, had be- come an important industry, particularly in the south part of the town in the Meacham neighborhood. In 1835 it made the locality famous. Col. Thomas S. Meacham was a man of enthusiastic temperament and

fond of remarkable things, and in that year he conceived the idea of making a mammoth cheese as a gift for President Jackson. He had 150 cows, and for five days their milk was turned into curd and piled into an immense cheese-hoop and press constructed for the purpose. The cheese weighed half a ton, but this was not large enough, so the colonel enlarged his hoop and correspondingly enlarged the cheese un til it tipped the scales at 1,400 pounds. It was then started on its journey to Washington. Forty-eight gray horses drew the wagon on which it rested to Port Ontario, whence it was shipped November 15, 1835, the boat moving away amid the firing of cannon and the cheering of the people. Colonel Meacham accompanied it. It was conveyed by water by way of Oswego, Syracuse, Albany, and New York, and along the entire route its projector was given a series of ovations. Reaching Washington the huge cheese was formally presented to the President of the United States in the name of the " governor and people of the State of New York." In return General Jackson presented Colonel Meacham with a dozen bottles of wine. The mammoth production was kept un- til February 22, 1836, when the President invited all the people in the capital to eat cheese. The scene is thus described by an eye-witness :

This is Washington's birthday. The President, the departments, the Senate, and we, the people, have celebrated it by eating a big cheese! The President's house was thrown open. The multitude swarmed in. The Senate of the United States adjourned. The representatives of the various departments turned out. Representatives in squadrons left the capitol-and all for the purpose of eating cheese! Mr. Van Buren was there to eat cheese. Mr. Webster was there to eat cheese. Mr. Woodbury, Colonel Benton, Mr. Dickerson, and the gallant Colonel Trowbridge were eating cheese. The court, the fashion, the beauty of Washington, were all eating cheese. Officers in Washington, foreign representatives in stars and garters, gay, joyous, dashing, and gorgeous women, in all the pride and panoply and pomp of wealth, were there eating cheese. It was cheese, cheese, cheese. Streams of cheese were going up in the avenue in everybody's fists. Balls of cheese were in a hundred pockets. Every handkerchief smelt of cheese. The whole atmosphere for half a mile around was infected with cheese.

Colonel Meacham also sent a cheese to Vice President Van Buren, another to Gov. William L. Marcy of Albany, a third to the mayor of New York, and a fourth to the mayor of Rochester, each weighing 700 pounds. In return he received from the latter a huge barrel of flour containing ten ordinary barrels. Subsequently he conceived the idea of erecting an agricultural hall on his farm in which fairs, lectures, etc.,

might be held. It was a long two-story frame structure with the head of the Rochester flour barrel built into the front, but the idea of using it for its original purpose was soon abandoned.

Hon. Andrew S. Warner, previously mentioned, was born in Vernon, N. Y., January 12, 1819, came to Sandy Creek in April, 1837, and died here December 26, 1887. He was member of assembly in 1855 and 1856, State senator in 1860-61, and colonel of the 147th N. Y. Volun- teers in the Rebellion.

Prominent among the settlers between 1840 and 1850 were Hon. Oren R. Earl, William Bishop, Nathan Davis, William McConnell, Simon Pruyn, Henry Wright, and others. Mr. Earl was born in Ellis- burg, N. Y., November 2, 1813, came to Sandy Creek in 1844, and from 1857 to 1858 operated the tannery there. He was vice-president of the Syracuse Northern Railroad, served many years as supervisor, is the father of the Sandy Creek Agricultural Society, and in 1847 was elected to the Assembly. He is now a banker in the village and one of the most prominent men in town.

Ezra Corse, just mentioned, born in 1803, came from Vermont and located near where he now lives. His ancestors emigrated from Eng- land to Greenfield, Mass., in 1696. His wife was a daughter of John Pierce, who very early had a store where James K. P. Cottrell's shoe shop now stands. Rev. Albert E. Corse, eldest son of Ezra, was born here April 25, 1829, was an active member of the Northern New York M. E. Conference from 1857 to 1894, and has held several positions of honor and trust.

The completion of the Rome and Watertown Railroad in May, 1851, was the occasion of a number of new enterprises in the villages of Sandy Creek and Lacona. This was followed in the fall of 1871 by the Syra- cuse Northern Railroad, which connected with the above line at Lacona, and which was operated until 1878, when that portion lying between Pulaski and Sandy Creek was abandoned. Junctions were then formed at Pulaski and Richland as at present. To aid in constructing this line the town was bonded for $80,000. March 1, 1890, this debt was re- funded at 312 per cent. interest per annum, and bonds issued amount- ing to $78,500, of which $68,000 remains unpaid. The railroad com- missioner is Edmund H. Sargent.

In 1851 the sum of $250 was voted for a town hall, and accordingly a room was fitted up for the purpose in Sandy Creek village.

During the Rebellion the town contributed over 220 of her sons to the Union army and navy and raised upwards of $35,000 for bounties to volunteers. Among those who attained official positions were:

William De W. Ferguson, Henry B. Corse, Byron Hinman, Moreau J. Salisbury, Delos Watkins, Edward S. Gillett, Ephraim P. Potter, Solomon S. Harding, Joseph K. Cran- dall, Andrew J. Barless, William H. Wheeler, Charles E. Thomas, Granville S. Thompson, Solon W. Martin, William F. Mosier, Yates W. Newton, James K. P. Cottrell, Robert C. Austin, Elijah S. Crandall, Thomas Roberts, William S.

$941,356; personal property, $37,700; town tax, $6,615.32; county tax, $5,482.71; total tax levy, $14,150.42; ratio of tax on $100, $1.80; dog tax, $69; valuation of railroads, 9.87 miles, $100,000. The town has two election districts, in which 547 votes were polled in November, 1894.

The first school in town was taught in the house of George Harding in the winter of 1806-7 ; the teacher was his daughter, Mamrie Harding. In the fall of 1807 a log school house was built at Lacona and prior to 1812 a similar structure was erected near John Spalsbury's on the northern road. Down to 1871 nothing but the ordinary district schools existed in town.

April 15, 1871, it was voted to consolidate districts 9 and 10, comprising the villages of Sandy Creek and Lacona, into one Union school district, and the following Board of Education was chosen : Hamilton E. Root, president; S. H. Barlow, secretary ; W. A. Harding, treasurer ; William T. Tifft, Henry L. Howe, Rev. H. H. White, Pitt M. Newton, E. L. Nye, and Dr. A. L. Thompson. Four acres of land on Academy street, lying partly in each village, were donated for the purpose by Oren R. Earl, and upon it a fine two-story brick building was erected in 1872, at a total cost, including furnishings ($2,000), of $10,000. The first term was held in the winter of 1872-3 with Rev. B. E. Whipple as principal. He was succeeded by John G. Williams, who was followed by J. Edman Massee, R. J. Round, T. C. Wilber, Robert A. McDonald, William C. Tifft, and Ransom H. Snyder, incumbent. The school has sent forth nearly 100 graduates, and maintains primary, junior, and academic departments. The present Board of Education consists of S. H. Barlow, president ; F. Dudley Corse, secretary ; J. J. Hollis, E. H. Smith, C. W. Colony, and A. E. Sherman. M. M. Earl is the treasurer and C. Y. Wimple the collector.
