Besides the public schools St. Mary's church supports St. Mary's academy, which opened September 8, 1891, with 550 pupils. There are twelve Sisters of St. Joseph in charge. The academy was char tered under the State Board of Regents December 12, 1894. The school is noted for its high standard of educational and moral disci- pline. The building is a three-story brick and besides commodious and modern school rooms there is a large hall known as Columbus hall.
Hoosick Falls is supplied with pure water by the Hoosick Falls Water Supply company. The source is a gigantic well twenty five feet in diameter located on the flats above the falls. Water is pumped into the main pipes direct, and also into a storage reservoir located on one of the eminences in the extreme eastern part of the village. The com- pany has about eight miles of street mains and supplies the village with eighty-eight fire hydrants. The officers are George II. Norman, president ; G. Norman Weaver, treasurer, and Ezra R. Estabrook, sec- retary. The water was first turned on June 1, 1886. The capital stock of the company is $100,000.
Iloosick Falls is supplied with an excellent system of sewerage at a cost of about $50,000. The system, which consists of abont fourteen and one-half miles, was completed during November, 1893 That it is giving entire satisfaction is apparent from the fact that already over 600 families have laid connections with the mains and the number is annually increasing in large numbers. The system is equipped with automatic flush tanks. Since the introduction of the sewerage system

the average sickness has been largely decreased. Previous to its intro- duction, at certain seasons of the year, contagious diseases were preva- lent, consequently the system has proven a blessing in this direction. The first members of the board of sewer commissioners were: Joseph Buckley, president; Lyman C. Wilder, clerk; John F. Murray, Dan- forth Geer and Thomas Gleason. Lawrence E. Buckley has been the superintendent since the organization of the board or since the system was completed. The outlet is below the dam of the Hoosick river.
By a special act of the Legislature passed March 19, 1888, a police force was established in the village, regulated and governed by a board of police commissioners. Previous to this time the patrolmen were under authority and special fee compensation of the village board of trustees. The first board of police commissioners consisted of Francis Riley, president of the village and board, Charles C. Spencer and John H. Cronin. Their first meeting was held March 26, 1888. The first patrolmen were Thomas McManaway, chief, who is at present acting in the same capacity, John McPartlin and Hugh Reed. The present force consists of Thomas MeManaway, chief; Byron Willis and Auer Powers.
Hoosick Falls boasts of several handsome public buildings. Fore- most is the armory of the Thirty-second Separate company, a descrip- . tion of which is contained in the history of the company.1 Seth Parsons steamer house on Church street, a two-story building, was erected of brick at an original cost in 1882 of $4,800. The total cost of the building has been $10,000. The village also has four public school buildings. One, on Main street, was erected about 1884; the High school building, a three-story brick edifice with basement, with large hall on the top floor; the building on the corner of Centre and Second streets, known as the Centre Street school, erected about 1880; and the Classic Street school, formerly the old Ball academy. Another school is in Trumanville and is now known as Parsons school.
The history of the extensive Walter A. Wood Reaping and Mowing Machine company centres from the early history of Hon. Walter A. Wood, whose interesting biography is contained in this work. He was a blacksmith by trade and afterwards mastered the trade of machinist. After a time he became interested in the manufacture of agricultural implements. In 1850 he purchased a territorial right to make and sell

the reaper known as the John P. Manny reaper, and began its manu- facture in Hoosick Falls. The date of the first introduction of the celebrated Wood machines was 1852, when Mr. Wood commenced their manufacture in a small way. In 1855 he added to his facilities by buy- ing the premises of the Tremont cotton factory. In 1859 the increas- ing business compelled him further to extend his premises by renting the place formerly occupied by a competitor. In November, 1860, the entire plant was annihilated by fire. The sales had averaged 5,000 machines for the two years previous. The same year the work of re- building began and the factory was established with improved facili- ties. The Wood mower had already been added to his manufactures and has remained a specialty ever since. It made a great success from the start. In 1861 Walter A. Wood patented his "chain rake reaper," a machine so unique and different from anything ever before conceived that perhaps no one ever looked upon it the first time without being startled.
Wood's reapers and mowers had by this time acquired wide fame and his business was not only attracting attention from farmers, but from financial people in the business world. It now became an easy matter to enlist large capital and in the year 1866 the Walter A. Wood Mow- ing and Reaping Machine company was organized with these officers: Walter A. Wood, president: William B. Tibbits, vice-president and secretary; Willard Gay, treasurer. The Wood establishment met with a second interruption by fire in 1870, but the check was in part neutral- ized by the lately acquired ownership of the Caledonia Mill buildings, which furnished a workshop while the burned premises were rebuild- ing. From the date of the fire of 1870 new buildings have year by year been added to meet the heavy growth of business. In 1873 the reel rake reaper, known as the " Walter A. Wood sweep rake reaper," was put forth with great success In 1824 the most striking enterprise in Mr. Wood's career occurred in the introduction of the harvesting machine, which not only reaped the grain and separated it into gavels, but bound it into sheaves ready for the shock or stack. In 1878 was in. troduced "Wood's enclosed gear mower," which was at once adopted as a type by European manufacturers. In 1680 the company brought out their "twine binder harvester," to which was added " Wood's bundle carrier," which deposited the sheaves in groups. Novelties were brought out almost every year after that.
The works stand on a tract of eighty-five acres of land on the west

bank of the Hoosick river. The company has its own malleable iron works, besides all the other necessary workshops, constituting one of , the most commodious and conveniently equipped plants of its kind in existence. On a high point of land in the midst of the company's tract stands a large reservoir, considerably higher than the roofs of the factory buildings and connected by pipes with all parts of the premises, with automatic sprinklers fastened to the ceilings. There is also an in- dependent fire apparatus. All parts of the works are connected by railroad tracks, which comprise seven miles, with a full outfit of freight cars and two locomotives for switching cars to the public railroad and moving machines and material on the premises. Whole freight trains are quiekly loaded at the company's freight houses and hauled by the company's locomotives to the track of the Fitchburg railroad, thus bringing their works into prompt communication with all parts of the world. The shops are lighted by electricity by the company's private plant, and the various departments are steam heated. The river furnishes a fine water power, the steam engines of the company being used merely as accessories in case of emergency. The company has sent forth inventions which have received the highest prizes at nearly all of the world's fairs, and made the names of Walter A. Wood and Hoosick Falls familiar in every country. In 1895 the company met with reverses, having been placed in the hands of receivers, Seymour Van Santvoord and Danforth Geer. The demand for machines, espe- cially for the foreign trade, however, has been larger than ever, and the works were operated to fill the demands under the receivers' hands in 1895 and 1896.
Among the prosperous industries of the place established during 1895 was the Superior Knitting company, located on Water street. The concern was organized November 1, 1895, for the purpose of manufac- turing ladies' and children's ribbed underwear. The first members of the firm were Robert Clark and his brother, George W. Clark. Later Clarence Howland and Francis Riley were taken into the firm. The concern occupies a building 50 by 50 feet, basement and three stories, and employs about sixty hands.
The Miller, Hall & Hartwell shirt shop occupies a three story briek building at the corner of John and Lyman streets. About 200 hands are now employed. E. W. Williams is superintendent. The concern's present quarters were completed in May, 1896, by the Hoosick Falls Industrial & Building association.

Among the other industries of the town is the Noble & Johnston Machine works, located at the foot of First street A foundry and car- penter shop is connected with the shop. The coneern was organized under this name in 1894 for the manufacture of paper-making machinery, which is sold in all parts of the country and abroad. About twenty- five hands are employed. The factory was formerly used for the man- ufaeture of Pruyn potato diggers.
The Wm. Howland Paper Box factory has been in existence several years. About fifty hands are employed in the manufacture of paper boxes.
The First National bank of Hoosiek Falls is the only banking insti- tution in the village. It was organized March 11, 1880, with a capital stock of $60,000 and began business in its present quarters, corner of Classic and Main streets, May 3, 1880. The first officers were: Presi- dent, Truman J. Wallaee; vice-president, Charles A. Cheney; cashier, Addison Getty; directors, Walter A. Wood, T. J. Wallace, A. L. John- ston, S. S. Stevens, C. E. Stroud, W. S. Nieholls, J. Russell Parsons, Benjamin V. Quackenbush, J. P. Armstrong, Charles J. Eldredge, E. A. Cheney, E. P. Markham, Benjamin F. Herrington. Its present officers are: President, E. P. Markham; vice-president, A. L. John- ston; cashier, Addison Getty; directors, S. S. Stevens, William Kel- yer, C. W. Easton, Addison Getty, A. L. Johnston, E. P. Markham, 1I. S. Moseley, Jos. Buckley, E. R. Estabrook, Charles Q. Eldredge, Ira J. Wood, A. H. Sherwood, Walter A. Wood, jr.
Among the flourishing secret organizations of the town is the Benevo- lent Protective Order of Elks, No. 178, organized December 9, 1890, with twenty charter members. On that day about forty members of the Troy and Albany lodges were present and the installation occurred in the K. of P. hall, conducted by D. D. Sol Davis of Albany. The following were the first officers elected : Exalted ruler, Dr. F. R. Hud- son; esteemed leading knight, Edward Levy; esteemed loyal knight, Thomas H. Hayfield; secretary, Louis Markstone; treasurer, Peter Gaffney; tiler, Forrest D. Varnum; trustees, William Powell, jr., Alex. A. Levy, James King.
The village of Hoosiek, sometimes known as Hoosick Corners, orig- inally was an important point in the old stage line running from Troy to Bennington, Vt. Hezekiah Munsell was probably the first post- master, in the latter part of the eighteenth century. Dr. Asher Arm- strong held the office continuously from 1799 to 1832. Dr. Asher

Armstrong located in Hoosick about 1796, and for more than thirty- five years, or until his death, November 23, 1832, enjoyed a large practice. An early industry at "the Corners" was a tannery main- tained for many years by William Goodrich. The Tibbits butter fac- tory was established about 1871.
North Hoosick is located on the Troy & Bennington railroad and the Walloomsac creek. Several small industries have been conducted there from time to time. A carding mill was established there about 1807, and later was operated by Timothy McNamara as a woolen factory In 1840 Thomas and Samuel Fowler changed it to a flannel factory. A few years later O. R. Burnham & Son of New York converted it into a shawl mill. The property was used for various purposes after that, and was burned in 1876.
Eagle Bridge is located on the Fitchburg railroad, and not far from the Hoosick river in the northwestern part of the town. It has become quite an important town for the railroad and is the point at which con- siderable shipping is done. . The industries of the town are small.
Walloomsac is a small hamlet on the Troy & Bennington railroad in the northeastern part of the town. The paper mills at this point were established by A. & W. Orr of Troy, manufacturers of wall paper. The buildings were originally devoted to the purposes of the MeNamara scythe works, established very early in the nineteenth century. A. & W. Orr converted the property into a paper mill, which for many years, under different firms, has been one of the prominent industries of that locality. The mill at Walloomsac and the mill at North Hoosick, about a mile apart, for many years were run in connection.
Buskirk, formerly known as Buskirk's Bridge, is located in the north- ern part of the town. Its industries are not very important nor nu- mnerous.
West Hoosick is a small hamlet in the western part of the town.
Trumanville, a hamlet located opposite Hoosick Falls, was incorpo- rated into the latter village many years ago.
Potter Hill is an unimportant hamlet, containing a post-office, located in the southwestern part of the town.
The first place of Christian worship in the town of Hoosick probably was established by the early Catholics at St. Croix as a mission for the Indians. Authentic data in relation to this institution is lacking.
The first church of which we have any definite and satisfactory record is the old Protestant Dutch church at St Croix, The building stood

on the road to Cambridge. The house of worship, which was built principally through the offices of Cornelius Van Ness, was abandoned in 1800, but was not torn down until twenty-five years later.
In the northeastern part of the town, near Walloomsac, a Baptist church was founded as early as 1778. Threeor four years later a house of worship was erected, and in 1788 a second one was built at Waite's Corners. One authority I says that the church was established in 1772.
The Hoosick Baptist church was founded March 16, 1785. Who the first pastor was does not appear in the records. The first of whom anything is known was the Rev. Samuel Rogers, who served from 1197 to 1801. For four years the society was without a pastor. The Rev. David Rathbun preached from 1805 to 1809. The society was first known as the Mapleton church, but during the pastorate of the Rev. James Glass the name was changed to Hoosick church. About 1931 the church was transferred to Hoosick Corners.
The Reformed church at Buskirk's Bridge (now Buskirk ) was organ- ized May 2, 1792, and was the outgrowth of a church formed in 1714 in Schagticoke. The Rev. Samuel Smith first served the society as pastor, preaching but once a month. The first house of worship was located near the site of the present one, the locality then being known as Tiashoke. In 1823 a building was removed from Pittstown and dedicated May ? of that year. In 1872 it was enlarged and remodeled.
The Walloomsac Methodist Episcopal church was organized April 18, 1811, with Isaac Mosher, John Matthews, John Comstock, Simeon Sweet, Benjamin Barnet and Thomas Milliman as trustees. The first meeting house was completed the same year and some time afterward the society was incorporated as the Methodist Episcopal church of Old Hoosick. June 2, 1758, it was reincorporated as the Walloomsac Methodist Episcopal church, and soon after the old church was aban- doned and services were held in the school house at North Hoosick. Soon after the church was reorganized at that place.
January 25, 1825, a number of the inhabitants of Hoosick Falls as- sembled at the Warren meeting house on Main street and there or- ganized a religious society by the name of the " Presbyterian Society of Hoosick." In 1829 the congregation erected on Church street a frame meeting house, which, when finished, was dedicated by the Rev. N. S. S. Beman, D. D., of Troy. This building cost $1, 800 and had

seats for about three hundred persons. In 1854 the old building was removed and the present church edifice was erected at a cost of about $7,000, and having a seating capacity for about five hundred persons. It was dedicated in the spring of 1854, the Rev. N. S. S. Beman, D. D., LL. D. of Troy, the Rev. J. II. Noble of Schaghticoke and the Rev. A. M. Beveridge officiating. The church edifice was enlarged and im- proved in 1879 at an expense of $6,500. The different pastors of this church have been :

Plack, 1893-96; the Rev. E. Payson Berry, 1896 ---.
The new church of the original Mapleton church society, located at Hoosick Corners upon the renewal of the organization, was erected about 1831. At that time Rev. Israel Keach, who had accepted a call in 1824, was pastor, and he remained as such until 1839. About 1869 a new house of worship was erected at a cost of $11,000, and in 1874 a parsonage costing $4,000 was built.
The Liberal Religious society at Mapleton was incorporated January 23, 1836, and occupied the property of the old Mapleton church. It was established as a mission church, and persons of several religious denominations worshipped there in its early days.
The First Baptist church of Hoosick Falls was organized October 30, 1847. In the meeting house of the "Warren Society," May 8, 1851, the organizers of the church elected these trustees: John Lyon, Jonathan Case, Allen Spencer, Hosea Daniels and Edmund Leonard. The cer- tificate of incorporation is dated May 16, 1851. The following have been pastors of the church:

over $12,000 with a seating capacity of 700. It was dedicated October 31, 1884.
The first masses were celebrated in Hoosick Falls in 1834 by the Rev. J. Shannahan in the old school on Elm street, and in the Baptist church (then used as a union church). The Rev. J. B. Dailey attended this place in 1836-37, and subsequently the Rev. Fathers Ilavermans, Far- ley, Finnelly and Quigley officiated until 1819. In that year the Rev. Hugh Quigley built a church on Church street, which was afterward enlarged by the Rev. John McDermott, who officiated until 1862. In 1862 the Augustinian Fathers took charge of the parish. The Rev. J. A. Darragh, O. S. A., was appointed first pastor and remained in charge until 1865, being succeeded by the Rev. E. A. Dailey, O. S. A., who remained in charge until 1874. The church proving too small the cor- ner stone of a new church on Main street was laid August 15, 1869, by the Very Rev. E. P. Wadhams, V. G., of Albany. It was dedicated December 10, 1871, by the Very Rev. T. Galberry. A bell weighing 2,960 pounds was placed in the tower in August, 1872. In July, 1824, the Rev. J. D. Waldron, O. S. A., was appointed pastor, and in 1890 he was succeeded by the Rev. P. J. O'Connell, O. S. A. The Rev. D. D. Reagan, the present pastor, has served since 1894. A new organ was placed in the church August 15, 1881. The present edifice is a sub- stantial brick structure with stone trimmings, and cost $58,000. Its seating capacity is 1,050.
The Methodist Episcopal church of Hoosick Falls was incorporated April 12, 1858. In 1860 a frame church was erected on Main street, in which services were first held on Christmas day of that year, at which time it was dedicated, the Rev. J. E. King, D. D., preaching the sermon on the occasion. The building cost about $3,300, and had a seating capacity of 300. It was further enlarged in 18 ??. A fine toned bell, weighing 1,866 pounds, and costing $642, was placed in the belfry in the summer of 1874. In 1887, during the pastorate of the Rev. C. W. Rowley, it was determined to build a new church, the old one having been outgrown. The Russell homestead was purchased, the old house converted into a parsonage, and the corner stone of a new church laid October 20, 1887. The edifice was completed in about a year, at a cost, including furnishing, of about $30,000; the value of the entire prop- erty, lot, parsonage and church, being about $40,000. This building was dedicated October 31, 1888. The society is in a strong and flour- ishing condition. The first pastor of the church was the Rev. Reuben Washburne.

The Baptist church at West Hoosick was incorporated April 16, 1861, with Stephen Paddock, Philip Herrington and Isaac Shedd as trustees.
St. Mark's Protestant Episcopal parish, of Hoosick Falls, was organ- ized under the ministrations of the Rev. Nathaniel O. Preston. It was incorporated November 1, 1834. The parish continued to exist in a very uncertain condition till 1858, when a new organization was effected. The corner stone of the church was laid in the summer of 1858 by the Rt. Rev. Horatio Potter. The first services in the church were held Sunday, August 26, 1860, and the edifice was consecrated May 5, 1863. The church was partially destroyed by fire in 1886; was restored the same year, and enlarged ir 1888-89. This church contains a town- clock and a fine chime of bells presented by J. Hobart Warren, in memory of his wife. A beautiful carved oak reredos, representing the Lord's Supper, is the gift of William M. Cranston, of England, in memory of his wife. A brass lectern and oak pulpit are the gift of John G. Darroch, in memory of his wife. The rectors of the parish have been :
Rev. Nathaniel O. Preston, 1833-38; the Rev. Ebenezer Williams; the Rev. James Henry Morgan, 1861-63; the Rev. Geo. A. Weeks, 1863-65; the Rev. Geo. II. Nich- olls, 1865-81; the Rev. Geo. D. Silliman, 1881 -93; the Rev. Chas. C. Edmunds, jr., 1893, now rector.
