Thaddeus Ball, who died January 15, 1815, must have settled prior to 1800. His sons were James and "Jack," the latter of whom held the office of salt inspector. He finally removed to New Orleans and established coarse salt fields there. The widow of Thaddeus Ball mar- ried James Matthews, brother of Samuel R. Matthews.
Thomas Wheeler was a prominent Salina pioneer at about the begin- ning of the century, and died March 30, 1862, at the age of eighty-one years. He was a practical surveyor and also carried on a store on the north side of the canal, in which locality most of the early business was transacted. His wife was a daughter of John J. Mang, one of the first German settlers there. Mr. Wheeler was interested in salt-making. His sister married Dioclesian Alvord.
Ichabod Brackett located at Salina about 1800 and became a leading merchant and shipper and accumulated wealth through his business ability and shrewdness. He was also interested in the salt business, and built a dwelling and store combined on the corner of Exchange and Park streets. He died in October, 1832.
The foregoing names include nearly all who settled at Salina previous to the beginning of the century and who became at all prominent in the history of the place. Quite a large part of the settlers during this period, and for many years afterwards, were laboring men, pos- sessing little else than sturdy muscles to give them a livelihood. The record of such lives has passed away, except as their labors made an imperishable impress upon the early growth of the community and its great industry. During the first decade of the present century the village increased considerably, keeping pace with the increasing mag- nitude of the salt industry; but its most rapid growth was during the succeeding ten years. In the entire absence of the records of this period only brief annals have been collected from the few old residents of the village who are still living. Among the men who settled at

ONONDAGA'S CENTENNIAL.
Salina and conducted some kind of business during the period just pre- ceding the organization of the town, or soon afterward, may be men- tioned the following :
Richard Goslin had a store on the north side of Free street, and was for a time a partner with Elisha Alvord. Richard C. Johnson kept a store also in that vicinity and near the pump house. Isham West located early as a hatter, on Salina street; his sister married Fisher Curtis. Davenport Morey was an early merchant and also started a distillery near the site of the Excelsior Mills; he also had a brew- ery in association with Ashbel Kellogg, at the foot of Bear street. Still later he established a distillery on the site of the Greenway brew- ery. Samuel P. Smith was a cabinetmaker, the first in Salina of any prominence. Thomas Mccarthy settled in Salina in 1808 and won the foremost position as merchant and salt manufacturer. His early store was situated on Free street. He became prominent in public affairs, was member of assembly one term, trustee of the village many years, and one of the directors of the first bank in the village. He was father of the late Dennis McCarthy, the leading merchant and active politician of Syracuse.
David W. Hollister settled in Salina in 1808, and for a time carried on a bakery. Later he attained a conspicuous position. He built the first saw mill in Geddes where he lived in later years. He held the office of poormaster and was in military service in the war of 1812, at Oswego. He married Ruth Phares in 1815. His son, the late James W. Hollister, who was deputy sheriff from 1865 to 1877, was born in Geddes in 1822.
Dean Richmond's father and his uncles, John and Anson Richmond, removed to Salina from Vermont before 1810 and were interested in the salt industry. Anson died of cholera in 1832. Dean Richmond remained some years at Salina and took an interest in boating opera- tions; at a later date he was a merchant on Exchange street. He was a man of great capacity and, as is well known, eventually became one of the leading railroad presidents and Democratic politicians of the country, with his residence in Batavia, later in Buffalo.
William D. Stewart, son of David Stewart, was one of the noted men of Syracuse. He was born at Salt Point in 1805 and after limited schooling was employed two years in the old Eagle tavern. He then was employed by Philo I). Mickles, who was running a boat between Salina and Oswego. Later he was connected with some of the stage lines. About

1829 he began manufacturing salt, but he soon saw his opportunity in the demand for passenger transportation on the Erie Canal and fitted up a packet boat which he commanded with great success for seventeen years. He then conducted the Welland House in Oswego two years. after which he was proprietor of the old Syracuse House which attained great popularity under his management. In 1865 Captain Stewart was elected mayor of the city by the Democrats and was twice re-elected. He died on August 9, 1874.
Russell Buckley was another early boatman and is said to have taken the first load of salt through the Erie Canal from Salina to Utica. His son, Christopher Buckley, was one of the unfortunate victims of the so-called patriot war in Canada and was executed.
The community settled around the salt springs and the farmers who had made considerable improvements throughout the town, now felt the need of a town organization with which they would feel a closer identification than they did with Onondaga. The feeling of rivalry between Salina village and the villages in the Valley and on the Hill was rapidly augmenting and exerted an influence towards the formation of the new town. The act organizing the town was passed on the 28th of March, 1809, and at the first town meeting the following officers were chosen : Elisha Alvord, supervisor; Fisher Curtis, town clerk; Rufus Danforth, Martin Wandle, Richard C. Johnson, Henry Bogardus, as- sessors; Michael Mead, William Buckley, jr., and Jonathan Fay, com. missioners of highways. The early elections were held one day in Geddes (which town was then a part of Salina), one-half day in Liver- pool, closing with a day at Salina; later and down to 1846 they were held one-half day at Geddes, one-half day at Liverpool, one day in Syracuse and one day in Salina. The polls in Salina were long located in the old Eagle tavern.
The tax list of the old town of Salina is in existence for the year 1809, and bears considerable interest and valute, as indicating who were the more prominent residents of the town at that early date, and the rate of taxation. It is as follows:

These were living in not only the present town of Salina but also in the village of that name and in the town of Geddes. The figures in- clude all of the State, county, and town tax for that year. Twenty- four persons were taxed for personal property on valuations from $25 to $1,500, the total being $5,056. E. and D. Alvord had the highest valuation of personal property, $1,500, and Ichabod Brackett had $1,000. Ten persons were taxed on personal property alone, the total being $1,050. Fifty-nine were taxed on salt property, indicating the very early importance of that industry. Thirty-four of these had no other taxable property. The lowest valuation of salt property was Samuel Dolson, which was $30.
The salt industry, the key to the prosperity of the town, began to as- sume large proportions early in the century. That necessary commodity brought a high price during the next four years and the market was practically unlimited. While there was no manufacturing of much ac- count in the town outside of salt, that in itself was sufficient to engross the attention of a large part of the inhabitants. Mercantile operations multiplied and a general air of thrift and growth characterized the community. The opening of the middle section of the canal in 1820, and the cutting of a lateral canal to the salt works in the same year gave still further stimulus to the town. .
The war of 1812 had little appreciable effect on the villages of Salina and Liverpool in a business sense, but it excited the apprehensions of the inhabitants to a considerable extent, who anticipated an invasion by the British by way of Oswego. Communication by water to Lake Ontario was comparatively easy and it was considered extremely prob- able that the post at Oswego would be captured. Many American soldiers passed through Salina on their way to the frontier, which tended to further stimulate apprehension. These fears were finally dispelled and progress was more rapid than before.
About the year 1820 or a little earlier Henry Seymour, father of Horatio Seymour, and Sylvester Peck built a saw mill in the vicinity of the site of the present chemical works building. The mill was operated
119

by water brought in a ditch from Onondaga Creek near the Chlorine Springs, where a low dam deflected a part of that stream. The mill had two upright saws and a general lumber business was carried on. This mill was burned in 1840 and a new one erected, which was taken down in 1852 and a steam mill with a gang of upright saws built in its place, with also a circular saw, a planer and other machinery. Elizur Clark, who settled in Salina in 1823, began lumber business under lease from Mr. Seymour in 1834, and for a time was in partnership with Horatio Seymour. In 1846 he purchased the mill and all the accessories and later sold one-half interest to Thomas G. Alvord, and the firm of Clark & Alvord carried on the business until 1863, when it was closed up. The mill property was leased to the Salt Company of Onondaga and was burned about 1876. Mr. Clark became a leading citizen, was identified with the banking interests of Syracuse and was one of the first aldermen of the First ward of the city; in 1863 he represented his district in the Legislature.
In 1823 there were about twenty stores in Salina village many of which have been mentioned. One of the leading establishments was that of William Clark, which was on the westerly side of the Oswego Canal, on Free street, where most of the business houses were then congregated. Mr. Clark bought the old brick hotel, described as hav- ing been built by the Alvords in 1808. Thomas Mccarthy's store was near Mr. Clark's. Ezra M. Knapp located there about 1822 and built a distillery and a flouring mill, which was burned. At a later date he had a store on Salina street.
The old Eagle tavern was a famous hostelry and was conducted by Jonathan R. Beach as early as 1810. He was an excellent violin player, and during many years taught dancing and deportment to the early Salt Pointers. He was afterwards a member of the mercantile firm of Beach & Foot. The Eagle tavern was afterwards owned by a Mrs. Field and managed by her son, Albert Field. It stood about opposite the site of the street car barns on Salina street. Richard Sanger, father of Augustus H. Sanger, kept the house a long time and was a prominent citizen. Another hotel stood on the opposite side of Salina street near the car barn site, which was kept for a period by Augustus H. Scoville. These buildings and others in the vicinity were burned in the destructive fire of 1856.
Alonzo Crippen was a well known citizen, conducted a grocery on Free street, engaged in salt making, and later built a brick building on the site of the Moyer wagon works.

THE TOWN OF SALINA.
The firm of Williams & Co., composed of Coddington, Gordon, and Frank Williams, had a store near the canal which they subsequently removed and then built a brick structure on Exchange street which is still standing. Ira H. Williams, a brother of Frank, subsequently bought out the others. Hezekiah Barnes, Noah Wood, Jeremiah Stevens, Richmond, Marsh & Clark, Barnes & Fifield, Hunter Crane, Felt & Barlow, Crane & Risley, Williams & Allen, James Lynch, and others had stores at various periods on Exchange street after it was opened in 1827-8. Most of these men were among the more prominent of the place.
Asa Foot and Roger Bates were a firm of early blacksmiths, and later Mr. Foot had a shop alone on the site of the Kearney brewery. Chris- topher Nott was an early wagonmaker on Carbon street, and Albert B. Congdon was a carpenter and builder who lived in later years in the central part of the city. He was killed by a runaway horse in Septem- ber, 1880. Seth Castle was another carpenter, who died in January, 1872.
Burr Burton was for many years one of the prominent salt mani- facturers and business men of Salina, where he settled about 1820. A son of Stephen and Olive Burton, natives of Vermont, he was born at Onondaga Hill in April, 1804, and died here at the hands of an assassin, who shot him while he was standing in the front door of his house, May 4, 1865. He also erected a foundry and was interested in various busi- ness enterprises.
Deacon Stanton P. Babcock removed from Connecticut at an early day and settled at Salina. He possessed wealth and his son, who pre- ceded him to their new home, was at one time a partner in mercantile business with Ira H. Williams. Deacon Babcock died April 1, 1857, aged seventy-eight years.
Charles O. Holbrook, who was many years a clerk in the stores of Dioclesian Alvord and Thomas Mccarthy, settled early in Salina. He was a son of Dr. David Holbrook, who has been mentioned herein, and lived on the corner of First North and Bear streets in a house that is still standing.
John G. Forbes was the first lawyer of any note to settle in Salina and he became a prominent citizen of Onondaga county. He was act- ive in politics and was member of assembly in 1825. He entered the militia as a lieutenant in Col. Thaddeus M. Wood's regiment in May, 1809, and rose by several promotions to the rank of colonel in 1817; he resigned in 1820. He subsequently removed to Syracuse. Enos D.

Hopping practiced law in Salina.in the early times. He was a brother- in-law of Dean Richmond, was appointed brigadier-general of volun- teers by President Polk, and died in camp in the Mexican war.
Before the close of the first quarter of the present century the vil- lages of Salina and Syracuse were engaged in a spirited rivalry. The opening of the canal through the latter village in 1825 gave it a good groundwork for boasting of its prospects, while the older village prided itself upon its men of wealth, its enormous and growing salt works, and the general solidity of its institutions. Liverpool, too, had become a large and active community, and considerable progress had been made in Geddes, then in this town. The interests of Salina village finally became so extensive and its public affairs of such importance that village incorporation was determined upon. The act of incorpo- ration was passed March 12, 1824, and at the succeeding charter elec- tion Fisher Curtis, Henry C. Rossiter, James Shankland, and Jonathan R. Beach were chosed the first board of trustees. Fisher Curtis was selected as the first president, and Ashbel Kellogg, clerk; S. R. Mat- thews, collector; Horace Brace, treasurer; John G. Forbes, attorney. The usual village ordinances were put in force, a fire engine was pur- chased with other apparatus, new streets were laid out and old ones improved. At a public meeting held April 2, 1826, a resolution was adopted asking the trustees to report the amount and purposes of the expenditures of money for the years 1824-25. Following is the report :
A. Whitman for repairing engine. $45 00
L. H. Redfield, printing ordinances, and book 8 75
Samuel Herron, surveying streets 2 50
James Shankland, cash paid J. P. Rossiter 1 50 1

THE TOWN OF SALINA.
The collector's warrant called for collection of $250 for the year, while this report shows the expenditure of only about $158.08.
At a meeting held in, April, 1828, steps were taken for opening Ex- change street, and William H. Beach, Matthew Van Vleck and John G. Forbes were appointed appraisers.
A village pound was built in 1828, by Ashbel Kellogg, at a cost of $59.89; the license fee for grocers was fixed at $20 and about a dozen grocers paid it. In 1829 the old cemetery was given up and block number 43, where the cemetery is now situated, was appropriated for the purpose. It was appraised on June 11, by Ashbel Kellogg, S. R. Matthews, and Roger Bates, at $325. Block 59 (the old cemetery), was subdivided and sold at auction at prices for lots ranging from $10 to $380. The condition of block 43 at that time may be judged by the fact that Richard Molony was paid about $150 for clearing and grub- bing on the lot to fit it for interments.
Under date of August 10, 1829, the following appears in the records: " Mr. Tucker :-- Please let Mr. Nathaniel Woodruff have his two hogs you have in the village pound by his paying you your fees for impound- ing the same." This order was signed by Noah G. Wood, Lyman Brown, and I. West.
The first paving of which the records speak was done in 1829 on Canal street. Syracuse street was opened at about the same time, ex- tending from "Canal street and running south to connect at Union Place with the road leading from Syracuse to the Court House." A considerable fire in February of that year was probably the incentive for making additions to the equipment of the fire department. An engine house was erected on land belonging to Thaddeus M. Wood, under lease; it was situated on Salt street and the building was erected by Joel Crane at a cost of $38. A hearse house was also built by Mr. Crane at a cost of $44.
For several years after 1830 the receipts by the village treasurer were between $500 and $600 annually. A report of the trustees made in 1834 explains that they had not sold certain lots in the old cemetery, "as real estate is lower than we hoped it would ever be again." It was a time of doubt as to the future of the village, created largely by the then rapid growth of Syracuse. In 1837 the village purchased a town clock of Jehiel Clark, of Cazenovia, costing $300. The financial stringency of that period was then at its height, and for that reason, perhaps, the clock was paid for in installments.

ONONDAGA'S CENTENNIAL.
In 1839 the village appears to have felt an impulse of enterprise and various public improvements were begun. A subscription paper is in existence bearing the names of many prominent citizens, with the amounts they gave towards the public square. An agreement was en- tered into between the village and Owen Mackin and Charles Harvey, under which the latter were to excavate and properly fill the " Public, or Center Square." at an expense of $230. Fifty thousand brick for flagging were contracted for and various public improvements were made.
In the year 1841 the receipts of the village had increased to $750, while in 1843 the amount rose to nearly $2,000. Streets and sidewalks were greatly extended and improved, the fire department improved, and in their report for the year 1843 the trustees stated: "We believe the improvements of the past two years have had a good effect."
But with all of its efforts, its salt works, its growing manufactures, its hitherto active mercantile business, its energetic men, Salina as the metropolis of Onondaga county was doomed. The older and more conservative part of the community clearly saw that union with Syra- cuse could not be far distant, and when the incorporation of Syracuse as a city was determined upon and consummated under act of Legisla- ture, dated December 14, 1847, Salina village was made the First ward, with the following defined limits: "All that part of the city lying east of Onondaga creek and north of Division and Pond streets."
On the 18th of March, 1848, the town of Salina was reduced to its present area by the formation of the town of Geddes. Following is a list of the village officers of Salina, as far as they can be collated from the fragmentary records in existence :
