adopted resolutions requesting the trustees of each district to consent to the consolidation of each district with the other in order that a graded school might be established, and that a new district be formed, embracing the territory contained in the three school districts, and designating such a new district as district No. 1. The consent of the three trustees, Sidney S. Congdon, No. 1, Michael MeGrath, No. 16 and Charles Albro, No. 4, was given, and April 29, 1875, A. II. Allen, school commissioner of the second district, residing at Petersburgh, ordered the districts to be consolidated and the same went into effect May I of the same year. June 15, 1875, the taxable inhabitants con- vened at Baker's opera house. Clark C. Hill, Michael McGrath and Lorenzo Baker were elected trustees, Thomas L. Doremus was ap- pointed clerk of the district and Samuel Bratt collector. June 29, 1875, a resolution was adopted for the building of a new school house and August 23 the contract for excavating and grading was awarded to A. L. Vial. September 1 the contract for building the school house was awarded to William F. Thompson for the sum of $8,952. The building was given into the possession of the trustees August 24, 1826. The cost of the building, grading, etc., amounted to $12, 633.90. The first teachers in this building were Misses Ogden, Gunner, Richmond, Munger and Prof. Ira H. Lawton.
February 6, 1895, this building was destroyed by fire. March 15, 1895, a special meeting was held in Eagle hall, when it was decided to change from the graded to the union free school system. At an ad- journed meeting held May, 11, 1895, the plans submitted by M. F. Cummings & Son of Troy were adopted and May 1? the plans were approved by School Commissioner Byron F. Clark of Hoosick Falls. July 1, 1893, the bid for the construction of the edifice was awarded to Thomas Campaign for $11, 548, and March 23, 1896, the building was given into the possession of the board of education, consisting of J. Bryan Bauens, president; David Myers and Frederick Wiley, and E. Burlingame, clerk, it having been completed at a cost of $16, 403. The building is of brick and fully equipped with electric bells and all the latest improvements. The school is under the professorship of C. W. Dunn of Canton, N. Y., assisted by Miss Delia Barrows, Helen Story, Lizzie Smith, Matie Ackart and Clara Thompson.
Among the prominent industries of the village is the Schaghticoke Woolen company's works, which were built in 1864 by a stock company, the officers being: President, Amos Briggs; treasurer, D. Thomas

Vail; directors, John A. Griswold, Seth B. Hunt, William Burden, D. Thomas Vail and Amos Briggs. Robert Dobson was superintendent. In March, 1879, these mills were purchased by J. J. Joslin and in 1886 Stephen W. Barker became the proprietor. This company employs three hundred and fifty to four hundred operatives and makes from three to five hundred thousand yards of worsted, cassimeres and all wool goods per year. In 1895 extensive improvements were made to the mills, a new storehouse and sorting room being built, and electricity introduced for lighting purposes. The officers of the company are: President, Stephen W. Barker; secretary, Elmer E. Lconard; treas- urer, George W. Sweet; superintendent, Andrew Schouler. The com- pany has a branch office at 175 River street, Troy, N. Y.
Another prominent industry is the Cable Flax Mills, manufacturers of hemp, flax and jute cordage and threads. This is the oldest manu- facturing concern in the town, its history dating back to the year 1800, when it was founded by Charles and Benjamin Joy for the manufac- ture of duck. The mills were carried on successfully for many years and were at last remodeled for the present company. In 1871 this company was incorporated with Thomas Lape as president, E. A. Hlartshorn as secretary and R. E. Starks as treasurer. An addition was built to the mill in 1880 and further improvements were made in 1895, when a three story brick storehouse was erected. The company has suffered serious losses by fire. October 23, 1893, the storehouse was discovered on fire, which totally destroyed their entire stoek of manufactured goods and raw material as well as the hackling shop. The loss incurred was $60,000. The company employs from two hun- dred and fifty to three hundred hands. It consumes daily an aver- age of six thousand pounds of raw material, while it turns out nearly five thousand pounds of manufactured goods per day. February 18, 1894, a mill, located near the Empire Coal and Milling company's plant, and which was used jointly by the Woolen and Flax company, was burned, the total loss being nearly $100,000. In 1881 E. A. Hartshorn was elected president of the company and George H. Stevenson secre- tary, while L. H. Gibbs was elected treasurer in 1892, succeeding R. E. Starks. The above now constitute the officers of the firm, with Amos B. Ralston as superintendent. The company has a branch office at 52 Leonard street, New York.
The Empire Milling and Coal company is a new industry. This company was incorporated May 6, 1896, with a eapital stock of $10,000

and with David Button, president and treasurer ; W. E. Wiley, secretary, and J. Warren Button, vice-president. The company has in process of eon- struetion a grist mill on the site of the old paper mill which was built in 1850. This company recently purchased the old Stratton property, which will be used as a storehouse. A steam grist mill is also to be erected by David Ewart on East street.
The Schaghticoke Powder Co.'s works were established by Josiah and Nicholas Masters in 1813, the first named at this time being a mem- ber of congress. In this year there was a great need of powder to sup- ply our troops on the northern borders of the State of New York. Nearly all the mills in operation during the Revolution, finding the bulk of their demand gone when peace was declared, had ceased oper- ations, and the new war rendered the revival of old or the establish- ment of new mills necessary. President Madison and Gov. Tompkins separately and unitedly used their personal influences with the Masters to secure the establishment of these works. The mills of the company are located on the south bank of the Hoosick river about half a mile southeast of the village, and comprise twenty separate structures, each of which is devoted to some single process in the manufacture of a special grade or kind of powder, The grounds comprise about one hundred aeres. This company manufactures about 60,000 kegs or 1,500,000 pounds of powder per year. It is one of the oldest in the United States, and during the eighty years of its existence it has held a leading position as a manufacturer of superior goods. In 1858 William P. Bliss became secretary of the company, which position he held until 1868, when he was elected to the presidency of the con- cern. Thomas 1. Doremus succeeded Mr. Bliss as secretary until the death of Mr. Bliss. In February, 1896, Mr. Doremus became pres- ident and A. W. Higgins of New York secretary. In June, 1899, work was commenced in erecting an electric plant for operating the machinery. The company now has three kinds of motive power, steam, water and electricity, each independent of the other.
Post Hartshorn No. 487, G. A. R., was organized June 3, 1884, when Edward E. Pinkham, John Hines, jr., Lewis Hunt, Elbridge D. Green, Daniel Il. Tarbell, Henry Campbell, Thomas McMillan, Herbert II. Dill, Lorenzo Guest, Jesse B. Armstrong, Eugene Munn, John H. Conde, Charles Il. Wolf, John Bacon, Michael (. Keefe, Leander White, Charles Turner and Timothy Herlihy were mustered in as char- ter members. Of these the following were elected officers for the re- mainder of that year:

Commander, Edward E. Pinkhan; S. V. commander, John Hines, jr. ; J. V. commander, Lewis Hunt; quartermaster, Engene Munn; surgeon, Henry Campbell; chaplain, D. II. Tarbell; officer of the day, Thomas McMillan; offieer of the guard, Herbert HI. Dill; adjutant, E. D. Green. July 12, 1884, the organization was named "E. A. Harts- horn Post," and at a later meeting the initials "E. A." were dropped so the name might conform to the rules and regulations of the order.
Schaghticoke lodge No. 526, I. O. O. F., was instituted June 9, 1885. The charter members were: John Kenyon, Wesley Winton, Robert Hasbrouek, Daniel II. Viall, Edward N. Masters, William Geddis, John McGregor and David Geddis. The first offieers of the lodge were: W. H. Scongal, N. G. ; Albert Allen, V. G. ; Seth E. Firth, recording secretary; Frank Firth, finaneial secretary; and John J. Stewart, treasurer. The first meetings of the lodge were held in the building on Pleasant avenue now oceupied by Lorenzo Baker. July 6, 1885, the lodge rented Eagle Hall and in February, 1886, removed to Stewarts' Hall. May 15, 1889, several members withdrew to institute a lodge at Raymertown, and in November, 1893, members were given withdrawal cards to institute a lodge at Valley Falls. It was through the instrumentality of this lodge that a new district was constituted. G. H. Stevenson, past grand, was the first distriet deputy grand master, holding the office two terms, Albert Allen serving one term and Myron L. Van Wert, P. G., holding the office of distriet seeretary one term. Since its institution this lodge has disbursed for relief over $1, 200.
The Empire club is one of the prominent social clubs in the village. It was organized October 28, 1892, with twenty members, and since that time the membership has increased rapidly. The club has rooms in the Congdon block. Its membership is composed of young men and its objects are mutual pleasure and recreation.
Schaghticoke Hill is a village located on the Tomhannoek creek and near the Fitchburg railroad. One of the early influential residents of the place was Ilon. Harmon Knickerbocker, the "Prince of the tribe of Schaghticoke Indians." The Tomhannoek ereek at this point fur- ishes excellent water power, which is utilized by a saw mill, a grist inill and other small manufactories. Samuel Harwood's powder fac- tory was onee a leading industry of the place.
Melrose and Grant's Hollow are about a mile apart in the extreme southern end of the town, near the Lansingburgh line. They are on the line of the Fitchburg railroad and both have excellent transporta-

tion facilities. The ancient Lutheran church is located a short distance from Melrose. The business of Melrose was never very extensive. Of late years the hamlet has become a popular summer resort for resi- dents of Troy and other places, some of whom have erected handsome homes and otherwise been instrumental in beautifying the village.
Grant's Hollow for many years supported an extensive factory for the manufacture of fanning-mills, grain-eradles and other agricultural implements. For a long time this concern, founded in 1836, was owned and operated by D. H. Viall, J. P. Leavens and Ezra Banker. It finally became the property of the Grant-Ferris company, which em- ployed about twenty-five hands. One of the principal stockholders of the company is Albert E. Powers of Lansingburgh. The company's plant was burned in 1895 and the business was removed from Grant's Hollow.
Valley Falls lies partly in Schaghticoke and partly in Pittstown. A sketch of the place will be found in the history of Pittstown.
Old Schaghticoke, once the principal village in the town, has taken the last place in the list of the villages of Schaghticoke. In Old Schaghticoke were located the early Dutch church and the old Knick . erbocker cemetery, and several taverns and stores. Very little business has been done in the place in recent years.
The First Presbyterian church of Schaghticoke dates from the year 1803, the first meeting for organization having been held May 24 of that year. Work upon the meeting house was begin the following year, but the structure was never completed or dedicated. In 1814 a movement was inaugurated to move the church to Hart's Falls, and February 14, 1820, the design was consummated, the dedication occur- ring the following December. In 1817-1848 a new church was erected ; in 1865 it was enlarged, and in 1874 further improvements were made. There was no regular pastor while the church occupied the site first selected for it. Rev. Mr. Lansing preached occasionally but not regu- larly. The Rev. Jonas Coe of Troy frequently occupied the desk and took an interest in the struggling society, presiding at the reorganiza- tion in Hart's Falls July 17, 1815. There was no regular preaching for four or five years after this, and when services were held it was either in the dance hall of the old Schaghticoke house or elsewhere. The first settled pastor was the Rev. Thomas Fletcher, who came to the church August 11, 1824. A Sunday school was organized July 31, 1823. July 19, 1831, a new certificate of incorporation was filed. In July,

1869, a meeting was held to consider the propriety of erecting a par- sonage, and during the year following the project was carried out, the building costing about $2,000. September 4, 1884, the church was damaged by fire and January 29, 1885, a committee was appointed to make necessary repairs. The work was completed in the fall of the same year at a cost of about $1, 500. In the same year the church debt, amounting to $3, 400, was paid. In 1894 the church was again repaired and painted and new stained glass windows were placed in position at a cost of $1, 700.
The organization of the Reformed church of Schaghticoke was the outcome of meetings held as early as 1707. Seven years later, or in 1714, the parish of Schaghticoke was organized and a log meeting- house, the earliest north of the city of Albany, was erected. Tradi- tion says that the first log church was succeeded by one or two others, the early ones having been burned during the Indian border wars. A more pretentious church was erected in 1760 and served the congrega- tion until 1833. In the latter year a more commodious and better furnished edifice was constructed on the site of the former one. This was burned about 1870 or 1821 and a new one was erected about a mile from the old site, where it is more accessible by its attendants. The society was newly incorporated April 8, 1872, with John A. Van Veghten and 1I. A. Hemstreet as elders and James Webster, Ira But- ton and William II. Fort as deacons. The record of the early pastors is incomplete. It is known that the Rev. Theodore Frelinghuysen of Albany served from 1745 to 1759 and the Rev. E. Westerlo of Albany from 1760 to 1773. The first regularly installed pastor was the Rev. Elias Van Benschoten, who served from 1998 to 1781. It is related of the Rev. Theodore Frelinghuysen that while he was pastor at Albany his sermons displeased the soldiers quartered there and one morning he found beside his door a staff, a pair of shoes and a coin. Believing this to be a hint that his services were no longer desired he left town and sailed at once for Holland; but the incident so affected his mind that he committed suicide before reaching his home.
St. John's Evangelical Lutheran church is another old religious in- stitution of Schaghticoke. Up to the year 1850 the church united with Gilead Lutheran church of Brunswick, but since that time it has had its own pastors. The first church was erected in 1776 and the first pastor was the Rev. George Joseph Wichtermann. A new house of worship was erected about 1854. The church was legally incorporated May 13, 1851.

The Lutheran church in the locality known as Bryan's Corners was organized March 6, 1852. The Rev. Rufus Smith, the first pastor, en- tered upon his duties immediately upon the organization of the church, and the society was regularly incorporated April 6, 1852.
Trinity Episcopal church of Schaghticoke was incorporated Sep- tember 26, 1846, the first rector being Rev. George B. Eastman. Ros. well J. Brown and James Akhurst were church wardens and Zachariah Lyons, Tibbitts Briggs, Benjamin Rodgers, Joseph Brown, William Searles, Charles Ilaywood, John Quintan and Edwin Smith were the vestrymen. It was some years before services were regularly held. During 1868 the Rev. J. H. Brown of Cohoes performed services with more or less regularity, assisted by neighboring clergy. May 30, 1869, the Rev. William Bogart Walker commenced holding regular services and April 1, 1871, was called to the rectorship, taking charge at the same time of the missions at Johnsonville and Crandall's Corners. Sep- tember 1, 1874, the corner stone of the present church was laid. The Rev. William B. Walker resigned as rector July 26, 1875, and was suc- ceeded by the Rev. R. G. Hamilton, who took charge October 14, 1875. Trinity church is pleasantly situated on Main street, Schaghticoke. There are forty-three families in the parish and fifty-three communi- cants. The church and property are valued at about $8, 000.
As near as can be ascertained the first Catholic services in Schagh- ticoke were held in the brick school house on the Tibbits estate near the present church, Catholic pastors journeying from Lansingburgh on foot to conduet the same. Previous to the year 1842 (about 1840) a movement was inaugurated for the building of a church, John Breslin, William Graham, Patrick Butter and Patrick McGowan being the chief promoters of the project. Their duties were arduous but at last were crowned with snecess, for in the year 1842 the church was erected at a cost exceeding $5,000. The site was donated by George Tibbits of Troy and later two adjoining lots were purchased of Mr. Tibbits, as the church was situated in such a position that it was impossible for the members to attend the services without going out of their way a con- siderable distance. At the time of laying out the village a new street was to be created, passing directly in front of the edifice, but this was afterwards changed. At the time the edifice was built the Catholies of Schaghticoke, Johnsonville and Valley Falls constituted one parish. The church when built was very small. In October, 1859, the Rev. Fr. Louis M. Edge, O. S. A., took charge of the parish and during his

pastorate the church was enlarged and improved about 1863. The spire of this church is one hundred and fifty feet above the level of the street. The first priest to take charge was the Rev. W. P. Hogan, who came in 1843. The church at Johnsonville was built by the Rev. J. T. O. Reilly, and the Pittstown church was built by the Rev. George S. Mahar, both pastors of the Schaghticoke church.
The first Methodist meetings in Schaghticoke were held in private residences until the year 1825, when a church was erected on the prop- erty of Alex. Diver on Sixth street, the Rev. Mr. Howe being the pas- tor. The church was incorporated January 15, 1831, Daniel Chase, Samuel Welch and Franklin Miller being named as trustees. In the year 1835 the present church was erceted on Main street. The pres- ent structure was remodelled in 1895 at a cost of nearly $3,000, and now has a seating capacity of nearly four hundred.
The Methodist church at Melrose, or more properly Grant's Hollow, was organized in 1853 as part of the Raymertown circuit. The trustees were John D. Perry, jr., Oliver H. Perry, Frederick S. Cole and Daniel H. Viall. Mr. Viall has held the same position continuously since that time. October 19, 1853, land was conveyed to the trustees by Isaac Grant and wife and later a church was erected at a cost of $600. The dedicatory prayer was made by the Rev. Thomas A. Griffin, afterward presiding elder of the Troy district, who acted as supply for the Rev. J. C. Simmons, who was disabled by an accident. Extensive improve- ments have since been made to the church at a cost of $400. The first pastor, in 1852, was the Rev. J. C. Simmons.
The Methodist Episcopal society at Schaghticoke Ilill was organized as a class about the year 1989 90 and continued to be a regular preach- ing appointment of the Pittstown circuit until 1850, when, with Schaghticoke Point, it was set off. In 1863 Grant's Hollow, then known as the Junction, was joined to Schaghticoke. In 1864 Schagh- ticoke was set off by itself and since that time Schaghticoke Hill and Grant's Hollow (Melrose) have been under one pastor.
The first meeting with a view to organizing a Presbyterian church at Melrose was held January 28, 1882. The incorporators were Adam M. Hayner, Alexander B. Reid, T. Newton Wilson, George W. Sinsa- baugh, C. C. Schoonmaker, Frederick A. Lasser, Thomas W. Griffin and Charles W. Bonesteel. The following were chosen as the first board of trustees: Charles E. Dusenberry, Thomas W. Griffin, George WV. Sinsabaugh, John J. Sipperley and C. C. Schoonmaker. The beau-

tiful site upon which the church is situated was given by T. Newton Wilson, and a commodious church was erected in 1882. The society was ecclesiastically organized by the presbytery of Troy January 10, 1883, with thirty charter members, John J. Sipperley, Michael L. Over- oeker, Dewitt C. Halstead and Frederick A. Lape being chosen elders. The Rev. Mark A. Denman was installed as the first pastor May 12, 1886, serving until September 1, 1888. The Rev. C. H. Van Wie, the present pastor, was installed May 27, 1890. During the present pastor- ate a debt of $2, 200 has been removed and a number of improvements have been made.
