While the Historical Records Sur- vey was active they attempted the

listing of approximately 64,000 church units, or about one-fourth of. the total number in this country. They published volumes for the Catholic church of New Hampshire, the Moravian church of Wisconsin, the various Baptist bodies of New Jersey as well as inventories of oth- er denominational groups. These church archives inventorles give a brief historical sketch of each units( and indicate the dates and number of volumes for each set of church re- cords.

Montgomery County in 1811

(A clipping from an 1861 copy of the Mohawk Valley Register gives an interesting birdseye view of Mont- gomery County as It existed In 1811, fifty years before. The name of the writer is unknown.)

(Continued from last week) Fifty years ago, only two Bridges spanned the Mohawk within the county, one at Canajoharie, the oth- er about a mile and a half above the present viliage of Fort Piain. No banking institution then existed in the county. The Mohawk Turnpike was then the climax of public im- provement for travel through the

county. It was the principal channel of commerce between the city of Al- bany and the great West; though the great west of that day, was now the great west of the present day. Very little business, exept the fur trade, was then done west of Buffa- io-which at that time was a small village and was burned down by the British the next year. The mode of carrying on this commerce, was by large covered wagons, carrying from sixty to eighty-five cwt. each, drawn by six or 'seven horses. In Spring and Fail, considerable quantities of merchandise were taken up the riv- er in boats, carrying from fifteen to eightee In tons. In 1811, Major Thomas Sammons was the Member of Congress from Montgomery. He was first elected in 1806, reelected in 1808 "and 1810. His successors for thirty years, were Jacob Markle, elected in 1812; Daniel Cady, 1814; John, Herkimer, 1816; John Fay, 1818; Alferd Conkling, 1821; John W. Cady, 1822; Henry Markle, 1824,

1840. In 1811 the county sent five of value. In such records there might bea list of all previous clergymen with dates of their service. Occasion- aliy, an early minister made use of the registers to enter curious hap- accounts of acci-

Members to the Assembly, viz .: Geo. H. Nellis, Alexander Sheldon, Jacob Eacker, James McIntyre, and Daniel Hurlbert. Fifty years ago, five worthy and efficient members of the Committee of Safety, of the Ameri- can Revolution, were then living in

trials the accused was a member of the clergy but just as often a lay member of the church was brought to trial for what might today seem to be a trivial offense. In Parkville, Missouri, during the fifties, for ex- ample, a Mrs. Alvirah Bates brought before the Presbyterian church session for "having attended a 'ball,' engaged in dancing and long of God's

neglected the Ordinances house," and several years later the same church tried a John McWil- iiams and his wife for playing cards.

Among other things such min- utes show that the early residents were real flesh and blood .men and

Devereaux Boys Want the Earth The village, oracie opined: "Them Dutch and Irish are all right in their places. They make darned good hired, heip, if they ' only knowed enough to stay in their piace. But none of their buttin' into politicks and aspirin' to office holdin'.

"Take them Helterline and Rem- mei boys over at Devereaux. Joe is gittin control of the whoie darned lumber business in the Stratford woods, an' that Dave ain't satisfied bein' pathmaster, but he must push a good Yankee out of road commis- soiner an' take the job for hisself. An' I'ii bet a dollar agin a plugged nickel that he'li be tryin' to git the office of Soopervisor one of the days. "Then there's that other Dutch- man from Devereaux, Herm Rem- mei. Why, he made a mint o' money in lumber, is a big politician, an' aimin' to be gov'nor of Arkansas."

A Bewhiskered Beam of Sanity Rising to the ciimax of his speech with double gestures, the Cracker- box Oracle exclaimed: "Gentlemen, think of it. A Dutchman from the sandy shores of the East Canada Creek trying to be guv-nor of .a great State."

old At this point a much-bewhiskered Crackerbox prophet, having transferred his quid from one side of his mouth to the other, to give his tongue greater play, put forth his erudite opinion as follows: "Let me teli you feliers that my long years of observation has led be to observe in the present splendid school sys- tem, in step with the great indus- triai progress of Dolgevilie. that them Dutch aint no worser than them biamed Irish. Nusser, nor so bad. Cause them Irishers are smart- er a darn sight than the Dutch any day. I teli you them Dutch is dumb."

Great Humanity of Alfred Dolge: Fought Valiantiy for Education and Regimented Society Security

By Dr. Silas C. Kimm

At the time Alfred . Dolge came to Brockett's Bridge in 1874,. our country was suffering from the ef- fects of the Civil War, and the cor- ruption of the Grant administration. The year previous occurred the fail- ure of the Jay Cooke Company, bankers, causing a financial crisis. during which hundreds of firms fail- ed throughout the Union, followed !! by a great stagnation in business. Added to this were the Indian. wars, reconciliation of Southern. States, and the greatest railroad: strike in history. Travel was sus- pended and business came to a. standstill. Great excitement"is recall- ed when news came of the burning. of railroad property in Pittsburg .. Troops quelled the mob, at the cost. of many lives.

'LOCAL HISTORY"

BY DONALD D. PARKER Brookings, South Dakota

"LOCAL HISTORY"-HOW TO GATHER IT, WRITE IT, AND PUBLISH IT

(Continued from last week)

You will find a great difference among the various denominations re- garding their earlier records. Of the Protestant groups, probably the most careful were the Presbyterians, Congregationaiists and Episcopal- -ians. The Catholic clergy also kept good records. One of your difficulties may be in reading the records of a group which started out using a foreign language. If the language is German, Dutch, Swedish, Norwelan, Polish, or some other rather com- mon one, you will probably find some members of the local church who wili translate the oid records while you write down the pertinent facts. Often the minister can use the lan- guage or suggest the name of some one who can.

The genealogist, Stiles, suggests: In the good old days, when a min- ister held his charge over a congre- gation for forty or fifty years, or, as sometimes happened, during his whole active life, the pastor general- ly kept a private memoranda of

births, baptisms, marriages and

deaths, as well as of many other do-

events occurring

mestic and social among his flock, or even in the community at large in which he liv- ed. This record was (according to the character of the man himself) apt to be interspersed with comments it and references which rendered most interesting and valuable to the historical and genealogical student. The discovery, in some old garret or in the possession of his descendants, of such notes, or diary, is a veritable 'bonanza,' and in the older settled communities its possible existence should always be borne in mind, and ascertained, if possible, by diligent search.

You may think that church regis- ters record only such data as bap- tisms, births, marriages, deaths and burials. Actually, however, they of- ten include much more information

penings, such as

dents, storms, frosts, fires, and

floods. One custom, not entirely- ob- uation was saved by the store clerk blowing out the kerosene lights, forcing the Crackerbox Ciub to ad- journ sine die,

The Medic Makes a Prophecy As the teacher was walking down: the street to his boarding place, at Lyman Barnes' on the corner, he was overtaken by Mr. Gutwits, the village doctor, who slapped the pedagogue on the back and asked, "Professor, did you notice that your question caused "old whiskers"to swallow his cud ?"

"Take it from me, this great influx of foreigners is going to make a vast change in our social and political life, uniess you teachers train the children in the ways of Democracy. The future of the country isyin the hands of you teachers."

In, those early days Dr. Gutwits lived in what is now the Methodist parsonage. Both having arrived - there, they bade each other "good [night."

German Influx at Brockett's Bridge

Readers of modern history will recall that seventy years ago there was a great influx of Irish, because of the potato famine in Ireland and that shiploads of Germans escaped from the Fatherland, because of the unjust tyranny of their overloards. In forthcoming chapters you will read of how a band of the latter came to . the , iittie village"of Brock- ett's Bridge, just seventy years ago, and of the struggle the leader had in trying to improve the educational facilities of the community. And how step by step, he overcame mossback tradition, which eventualiy resulted

I think, it seems to me, Ives said it was Pat. Tenny rate, Ives said, that blackwoods sprig is making them old lawyers hunt their holes."

., The principal of the two teacher village school, who had been a si- lent listener to all this oratory, wanted to know how it was, if the Germans were so dumb, how was it that over around Devereaux, and in many other sections, they were tak- ing the lead in business and in poli- tics ?

Th brass cannon, formerly belonging to the Fort, had a few years before seced- ed; but whether it went over to the enemies of th country or took lodg- ings with some worker in brass, is not generally known. New York was

then a Slave State, consequently slavery existed in Montgomery coun- ty; but slavery was then, and there, mild and limited, compared with the huge. institutoin of that name, now existing in much of the southern por- tion of the country. The sale of pro- ducts 'of the county were wheat to Albany, hay, oats and butter, to tav- ern keepers, some lumber was flot- ed down the Mohawk . to Schenecta- dy, and carted to Albany. Fifty years ago, no hops, broom corn or tobac- co had ever been raised in the coun- ty for market. Then Canals had never been seen in the county. Rail- roads, Telegraphs, Steel Pens, Let- ter Envelopes, and Postage Stamps had never been heard of. In 1811 and for a few years later, the practice of Clergymen being pald for preach- ing funeral sermons was common; the fee was usually from two to four dollars. The use of ardent spirits at funerals was then indulged in; and the first remembered deviation from the general practice, was at the fun- eral of Col. C. P. Yates, in December, 1813, when more than one lover of the "critter" thought himseif poorly paid for turning out in a cold day; but from that time the practice was gradually abandoned. A. Locomotive Steam Engine . in the county of Montgomery fifty years ago, would have been as great a curiosity as a Hippopotamus in the Mohawk river would be now. The price of a barrel of Onondaga Salt in the county, was then from $3 to $3.50. The price of a yard of calico was from 44 to 5G cents and all cotton fabricks at least four times their present value. Fif- ty, years ago, no one thought of send- ing any information from the County to Washington City in less than three or four days. Nor had any cast-iron plows, then ever been used in the county.
