ONONDAGA'S CENTENNIAL.

summer business, which constitutes an important source of revenue, and which is destined to become greater as the region is more and more appreciated.

As late as 1800 or '10 the land in the village now occupied by the Legg block, Dixon House, and adjacent buildings was without a structure of any kind. Had this condition remained unchanged the value of the lake front would have been greatly enhanced. At a very early day, before a dam had blocked the outlet, the surface of the lake was bewteen eight and ten feet lower than at present. Before the first dam was constructed the land owners along the lake shores signed off all claims for damages which might result from the water overflowing its original banks. This was an individual matter, and was done for the benefit of the water power along the outlet, but one proviso was made, namely, that a carding mill and grist mill should forever be kept in operation in Skaneateles. Both of these enterprises, however, have been discontinued. The lake, according to the State engineer's reports, contains 8,320 acres, and lies 860 feet above sea level and 463 feet above the Erie Canal at Syracuse. The first steamer borne upon its surface was the "Independence," which made her trial trip July 22, 1831. This boat was not a success, and subsequently became the schooner "Constitution." Soon afterward the steamer "Highland Chief" waslaunched, but this, too, was made over into a sailing vessel. In 1848 the steamer "Skaneateles" was built and run by Hecox & Reed for a year or two. On May 24, 1849, the " Homer," Capt. Rishworth Mason, was floated. The steam propeller "Ben H. Porter," Capt. W. R. Bailey, was launched in 1866, and continued in use many years. The present steamer is the "Glen Haven." About 1840 annual re- gattas were inaugurated, and for many years furnished exciting amuse- ment. Sailboats of every variety made the lake a scene of animation, and gave existence to quite a navy, with which Dr. H. R. Lord was permanently identified as secretary. For a short time, in 1853, it also gave birth to the " Naval Bulletin," which was issued from the Demo- crat office. Rev. W. M. Beauchamp, of Baldwinsville, brought to- gether a series of artistic sketches, with descriptions, from his own pencil, showing the lake and village as they existed between 1840 and 1850, and presented them to the library in 1882. Our allusion to Skaneateles Lake may fittingly close with the following stanza:

" Happily named by our Indians bold, Brave Onondagas, red men of the west,

Beautiful Squaw ! and by connoisseurs old, Fair Lake of Venus! haven of rest."

THE TOWN OF SKANEATELES.

In 1850 and '51 a plank road was projected between Skaneateles and Mandana. Corinthian Lodge, F. & A. M., Skaneateles, received a dis- pensation March 26, 1852, but a few years later it was discontinued. Skaneateles Lodge, No. 522, F. & A. M., was chartered June 12, 1862, with John H. Gregory as W. M. On December 10, 1869, Charles H. Platt Chapter, No. 247, R. A. M., was organized with nine members under Henry J. Hubbard as H. P. There is also an Odd Fellows lodge of about 100 members in Skaneateles village.

About 1845 the Roman Catholics began to hold services in the village, and in May, 1853, a church edifice was commenced. It was dedicated September 2, 1856, and cost $2,500. Rev. William McCallion was pastor until his death in 1864. Rev. F. J. Purcell, the present pastor, assumed charge in June, 1865. Their church was burned May 23, 1866, and on June 30, 1867, another edifice, costing $11,000, was consecrated. This society is known as St. Mary's of the Lake, and connected with it is St. Bridget's chapel at Skaneateles Falls, which was organized and built by Father Purcell, cost $5,000, and was dedicated September 20, 1874. St. Mary's Temperance Society, founded January 7, 1869, has continuously exerted a practical and useful influence along temperance lines, and is one of the few organizations of its kind which have main- tained an uninterrupted existence.

During the sanguinary war of the Rebellion the town of Skaneateles made a record of which she may well feel proud. At the very open- ing of the struggle war meetings were held and prompt responses were made. About 375 volunteers went from this section, or were born here and enlisted elsewhere, or subsequently resided in the town, and among those who distinguished themselves in the service were Dr. Benedict, surgeon; Van R. Hilliard, captain; Mortimer Kellogg, chief engineer U. S. Navy; Lewis H. Mower, captain; Edward E. Potter, brigadier- general; and Charles Willetts, lieutenant-colonel.

On June 25, 1862, the Ladies' Aid Society was organized with Mrs. Anson Lapham, president; Mrs. William H. Jewett, vice-president ; Mrs. H. Platt, secretary: and Miss E. A. Lapham, treasurer, for the purpose of assisting soldiers at the front. They performed a noble work in forwarding clothing and supplies and ameliorating the hardships of army life. In July, 1838, a soldiers' monument associa- tion was organized under the auspices of Ben H. Porter Post, No. 164, G. A. R., with Henry T. Webb, president; F. G. Weeks, vice- president; and George H. Wicks, secretary and treasurer, and May 30,

1889, the corner stone of the present stone memorial in Lakeview Cemetery was laid with appropriate ceremonies. The monument was dedicated September 4, 1895, with appropriate ceremonies, in which G. A. R. posts of adjoining towns participated.

The era of the Rebellion also marked the instit tion of banking in- terests in Skaneateles. In March, 1863, the Lake Bank was organized with Anson Lapham, president; Charles Pardee, vice-president; H. J. Hubbard, cashier. It is claimed that this was the first bank in the State to organize under the United States National Banking Act. It was opened May 19, 1863, and in 1865 Mr. Pardee succeeded to the presidency. In 1866 it became the First National Bank, and finally it was merged into Charles Pardee's private banking business, which he continued until his death. The Skaneateles Savings Bank was incor- porated April 16, 1866, with the following trustees: John Barrow, president ; Richard Talcott, vice-president; Henry T. Webb, secretary and treasurer: Anson Lapham, Charles Pardee, Joel Thayer, Henry L. Roosevelt, Caleb W. Allis, Josias Garlock, Henry J. Hubbard, Leonard H. Earll, Ezekiel B. Hoyt, George H. Earll, and Joab L. Clift. The presidents succeeding Mr. Barrow have been Joab L. Clift from November, 1866, to January 14, 1879; John M. Nye to January 9, 1883; John E. Waller, incumbent. F. G. Jewett succeeded Mr. Webb as secretary and treasurer in April, 1867; in December of that year he was followed by Josias Garlock, and after him came John H. Gregory, under whom the office was separated, his son, Fred H., be- coming secretary. J. H. Gregory died in September, 1894, and J. Horatio Earll was elected secretary and treasurer; January 1, 1895, Emerson H. Adams became secretary; the vice-presidents are Will- iam B. Lawton and Willis Platt. The trustees are John E. Waller, William B. Lawton, Willis Platt, Newell Turner, Lewis B. Fitch, Joseph Allen, Emerson H. Adams, J. Horatio Earll, John C. Stephen- son, Willis F. Cuddeback, John McNamara, Philo S. Thornton, George 1). Cuddeback.

The Bank of Skaneateles was incorporated under the State law June 10, 1869, with a capital of $100,000, since reduced to $60,000. The first officers were Joel Thayer, president; Anson Lapham, vice-presi- dent; and Benjamin F. Stiles, cashier; Elias Thorn, Benoni Lee, Will- iam Marvin, Benjamin F. Stiles, Hiram C. Sherman, Jacob H. Allen, D. C. Coon, Abram Lawton, Augustus P. Earll, James A. Root, and F. G. Weeks, directors. Mr, Stiles, as cashier, was followed succes-

sively by C. W. Allis, Henry T. Webb, and (in June, 1880) B. F. Petheram, who has been connected with the bank since January 1, 1871. In 1881 C. W. Allis succeeded Mr. Thayer as president. The vice- president is Joseph C. Willetts, and the directors are Caleb W. Allis, Joseph C. Willetts, Elias Thorne, Jacob H. Allen, Abram A. Lawton, B. F. Petheram, James A. Root, William Marvin, Joseph S. Shotwell, Philip Allen, William G. Thorne, William B. Lawton.

Referring again to the manufacturing interests we find that a stone mill was built in the village in 1845 by the Skaneateles Mill Company (John Legg and Nelson Hawley). Two years before this Ransom Crosby had started a steam saw mill, and a year earlier still J. M. Arnold and W. H. Willetts purchased the Talcott foundry. The stone mill was operated by John Legg & Co., and Joel Thayer & Co., and Mollard & Irish, under whom it was burned in 1882. It was rebuilt in 1883 by William R. Willetts & Co., and is now used as a storehouse by Stephen Thornton.

The Hart Lot Paper Company was organized in August, 1868, the plant being erected in the north edge of this town by J. and G. H. Earll on the site of a distillery, which was built in 1855. The capital was $100,000, and among the owners were Julius H. Earll and John M. Nye.

The Glenside Woolen Mills, about four miles north of Skaneateles, were built by the Skaneateles Iron Works Company about 1869 at a cost of $108,000. In 1874 they were sold on foreclosure; in August, 1881, J. McLaughlin's Sons purchased the property for $6,000 and converted it into a woolen mill. They failed, and in December, 1888, the Glenside Woolen Company was incorporated, with a capital of $150,000.

The Skaneateles Lime Works were established in 1860 by P. C. Car- rigan, whose later associates were George H. Earll, Eben Bean, and E. B. Coe; subsequent proprietors were E. B. Hoyt & Co. (under whom it received the name of Marysville Lime Works) and P. C. Car- rigan & Co. E. B. Hoyt and Thomas Morton erected a woolen mill at the Falls in 1867; in 1875 Mr. Morton became sole owner, and in 1879 the plant passed to his son, Gavin. The Earll distillery, near Mottville, was purchased by F. G. Weeks in 1875 and converted into a paper mill. A little south of this is the site of the oldest paper mill in town, among the proprietors of which were Reed & Case, Ray & Ban- nister, Bannister & Hubbard, and in 1871 F. G. Weeks. It was burned on February 9, 1877, and rebuilt on a larger scale.

ONONDAGA'S CENTENNIAL.

What is known as Long Bridge was called "No God" when the "Community " flourished near by, and at an early day George Cullen had a blacksmith shop here. Afterward the place had a woolen factory, which was burned about 1861, and on the site F. A. Sinclair and Joseph Hubbard built the Union Chair Factory in 1866. In 1867 Mr. Sinclair became, and is still, sole owner. The old Cataract flouring mill was erected by Barnes & Co. in 1869, and among its operators were H. B. Benedict & Son, Nelson Martin, and William Sinclair.

At Mottville H. B. Benedict opened a general store in 1858, was joined by his brother in 1860, and was burned out in 1865. In 1866 they built a brick store. Other merchants were David Hall, J. C. S. Spencer, S. L. Benedict, and John Gamble & Co. A brick school house was built here in 1871. Among the postmasters were Henry Hunsiker, S. L. Benedict, Alanson Watson, Mrs. Olive A. Eastwood. Edward Burgess was a shoemaker here in 1837. In 1862 Thomas Alexander, Gavin Morton, sr., and John Stephenson established the Mottville Woolen Mills, of which Thomas Morton finally became pro- prietor. In May, 1881, he leased them to his sons, John W. and Thomas, jr. About 1841 J. L. Case had a sash factory here, and here also existed a malt house and brewery, which was long run by Elias and Henry Hunsiker and later by Hunsiker & Hait. William Barber had a large rag warehouse at Mottville, which developed into an ex- tensive business. The Mottville flouring mill was formerly a cotton factory. In 1880 it passed to H. C. Sherman. This foundry and

machine shop was early operated by Morehouse & Hannum, Howard Delano, and in 1849 by E. B. and E. S. Hoyt, who were also general merchants here. Other owners were E. H. Hoyt, Delano & Hoyt, and John M. Nye. The plant was burned September 5, 1867, rebuilt, and is now operated by F. D. Hoyt. Here are also the chair factory of W. J. Moreland and grist mill of N. L. Martin. The Mottville Paper Company was incorporated August 12, 1886, with a capital of $30,000, and with the following directors: Dr. J. W. Brown, president; William Barber, secretary and treasurer; Harvey Brown, Byron Chatfield, and Nelson L. Martin.

Between Mottville and Willow Glen, at a place once called Earllville, a mill was built by Abijah Earll in 1818; it was burned in 1825, and rebuilt by Cotton, Lewis & Co. Near the site was successively a saw mill, a linseed oil mill, a grist mill, and a distillery, in each of which Mr. Earll was interested. In 1857 the large distillery was established and

operated for about twenty-five years principally by Daniel Earll and his sons, Augustus P. and Leonard H. About 1882 the property was pur- chased by F. G. Wecks, who organized the Lakeside Paper Company, with a capital of $20,000.

The Skaneateles Paper Company was formed December 9, 1875, with a capital of $65,000. On this site a grist mill was built in 1830 by Sol- omon Earll. About 1840 it was converted into a distillery by Earll & Kellogg, and in 1864 Earlls, Thayer & Co. made it over into a paper mill, which was later conducted by Earlls, Palmer & Co.

Willow Glen was at one time the busiest manufacturing place in town. A large woolen mill was built here by Dorastus Kellogg, was later owned by Alexander Horton, M. D. Dickerson, and Bradford Kennedy, now of Bradford Kennedy, Sons & McGuire, of Syracuse, and was burned in May, 1880. Michael Meagher opened a grocery in the place in 1860.

On the east side of the lake Jesse Deland built a steam saw mill about 1872, which passed to Absalom Chatham, the boiler of which exploded September 12, 1875, killing B. R. and A. R. Chatham and Darwin Price. Paul & Chorley now own a saw mill in Skaneateles village.

During the last few years the boat building industry has given Skan- eateles village quite a reputation, and the Bowdish Manufacturing Com- pany and the Skaneateles Boat and Canoe Company are entitled to much credit in this connection. Both have turned out a number of handsome skiffs, canoes, and other small craft.

Reference has been made to early burial places, the first of which was on the John Briggs farm, near the "Red House." The second was located in the village on the site of the old Kellogg mansion, and from this sixteen bodies were removed in 1803 to the Briggs farm on lot 36, a half acre of which was purchased by the Skaneateles Relig- ious Society, May 30, 1808, for $25. This society bought also an ad- joining half acre of David Seymour, on January 27, 1812, and these plats constituted the cemetery for the village and vicinity until 1846. The Mottville burying ground was opened about 1819, when some of the bodies were removed thither from the Samuel Briggs farm. On August 21, 1846, Charles Pardee and F. G. Jewett purchased about one acre, adjoining the old burial place, of J. C. Fuller for $392, and laid it out into 224 lots, and on September 14, of the same year, bought of Samuel Fuller an undivided half acre for $360. In May, 1860, the Hall Grove Cemetery Association (named in honor of David Hall, who

1014

ONONDAGA'S CENTENNIAL.

donated eight and a quarter acres of land on the creek road) was or- ganized, with Richard Talcott, David Hall, Chester Moses, Eben Bean, John Gregory, and Thomas Snook, trustees; John Barrow, treasurer; and Thomas Isom, jr., secretary. On August 26, 1871, Lakeview Cemetery Association was incorporated, with William Marvin, chair- man; P. Oscar C. Benton, secretary ; and twelve trustees. They pur- chased seven and a half acres adjoining the old cemetery of E. R. Smith, and in September, 1872, secured a deed from the trustees of the Skaneateles Religious Society for the original plat.

About 1867 Methodist services were held at Skaneateles Falls, in the house of M. B. Bannister, class leader, and later in the school house and elsewhere. November 2, 1872, an M. E. church was organized and the same year an edifice was erected through the generosity of F. G. Weeks, at a cost of $1,500. It was dedicated February 6, 1878. Mott- ville had been a Methodist appointment for several years. In 1872 the old school house was purchased and fitted up for regular services and dedicated January 24, 1873. On September 10, 1885, a new edifice, which cost $4,800, was dedicated.

On July 19, 1870, the old Lake House, formerly called the Houn . dayaga House and originally known as the Indian Queen Hotel, was destroyed by fire. It was enlarged in 1858, and for many years con- tained the only public hall in the village. It occupied the site of the Shear block, on the corner of Genesee and Jordan streets, which was built in 1881-82.

Skaneateles was made a money order office Angust 6, 1866. The postmasters following Charles J. Burnett (1817-1843) have been: Joel Thayer, appointed July 5, 1843; John Snook, jr., appointed April, 1849; Josias Garlock, May, 1853; Capt. Horace Hazen, May, 1861; F. G. Weeks, May, 1869; John B. Marshall, 1873; Edson D. Gillett, Feb- ruary, 1885; J. Horatio Earll, January 24, 1894, incumbent.

The Skaneateles Water Company was organized August 11, 1887, by George Barrow, president; J. K. Knox, secretary; B. F. Petheram, treasurer. The supply of water is taken from the lake by pumping. In November, 1889, franchises were granted to the Central New York Electric Light and Power Company by the town and village. The electricity is transmitted to Skaneateles village from the company's plant near Elbridge, which also supplies the villages of Elbridge and Jordan. George Barrow is president and secretary. On September 27, 1890, the corner stone of the handsome brick and stone engine house and village hall was laid.

THE TOWN OF DEWITT.

Glen Haven, at the head of Skaneateles Lake, and in Cortland county, is a well-known summer resort. Dr. Jackson established a "water cure " there many years ago under humble conditions. There is now a spacious hotel and many handsome cottages nestled under the high, wood-covered hill, from which a mineral spring amply supplies all with water. Dr. Thomas, associated with Mr. Mourin in the proprietorship, still maintains a "cure;" but the picturesqueness and pure air of the place, situated almost 900 feet above tide-water, are its principal attrac- tions. Its patronage is almost wholly from Syracuse and Philadelphia.

The supervisors of this town since its organization in 1830 have been as follows:

Tunis Van Houghten, 1830-31; Dorastus Lawrence, 1832-33; Chester Clark, 1836 -38; William Fuller, 1839-41; Samuel H. Greenman, 1842-43; James H. Gifford, 1844; Spencer Hannum, 1845-46; William H. Jewett, 1847-48; Aaron Brinkerhoff, 1849-52; Daniel T. Moseley, 1853-55; John Barrow, 1856; Dorastus Lawrence, 1857; John Barrow, 1858-60; Caleb W. Allis, 1861-64; John H. Smith, 1865-68; Edward B. Coe, 1869-70; George T. Campbell, 1871; George W. Earl1, 1872; Thomas Mor- ton, 1873; H. B. Benedict, 1874; Andrew J. Earll, 1835-77; John H. Gregory, 1878- 79; Dennis Bockes, 1880; J. Horatio Earll, 1881; Dennis Bockes, 1882-88; Stephen Thornton, 1889-96.

The population of this town in the years named has been as follows: 1830, 3,812; 1835, 3,575; 1840, 3,981; 1845, 3,827; 1850, 4,080; 1855, 3,976; 1860, 4,335; 1865, 4,128; 1870, 4,514; 1875, 5,035; 1880, 4,866; 1890, 4,662; 1892, 4,994,

CHAPTER XLVI.

THE TOWN OF DEWITT.

With the exception of Geddes, the town of Dewitt was the last town organized in Onondaga county. It embraces a little more than thirty- six lots of military township No. 7, Manlius, the numbers of which and the names of their grantees are as follows:

No. 5, Lieut .- Col. Ebenezer Stephens; 9, John Williamson; 10, Capt. Leonard Bleecker; 11, Moses Darling; 12, Henry House; 20, reserved for gospel and schools; 21, James Cator; 22, Lieut .- Col. Jacobus S. Bruyn ; 23, Lieut. Michael Connolly ; 29, Christopher Decker; 30, Peter McClusky; 31, William Buckhoudt; 32, John Pierre- pont ; 40, John Salsbury ; 41, Ensign William Peters; 42, William Ivory; 43, James Adams; 49, Lieut. George Leaycraft; 50, Amassey Allen; 51, Capt. Jacobus Wyn- koop; 52, John McLean; 60, William Knights; 61, Capt. Charles Graham; 62,

1016

ONONDAGA'S CENTENNIAL.

Brampton Hitchcock; 63, John Way; 70, Capt. John Doughty; 71, Benjamin Run- nion; 72, Gershom Smith; 73, Capt. John Sanford; 80, Jacob Wilse; 81, Archibald Elliott; 82, reserved for gospel and schools; 83, Ensign John Marsh; 91, William Godwin; 92, Edmund Robinson; 93, Brig .- Gen. James Clinton ; 94, William John- son.

Besides these, parts of lots 74, 84, and 95 are in the southeast corner of the town, the grantees of which are named in the history of Manlius. It is not recorded that any of these grantees settled on their lands, although some of them were prominent men in this section of the State.

On the organization of the county in March, 1794, this territory was included in the civil town of Manlius, and so remained until April 12, 1835, when it was erected into a separate town with its present limits, or 23,400 acres of land. So it is that its early history was made in the town of Manlius. It lies just east of the center of the county and is bounded on the north by Cicero, on the east by Manlius, on the south by Pompey and La Fayette, and on the west by Onondaga, Syracuse and Salina.

The north half of Dewitt is nearly level, while the south part is broken and hilly, the declivities being steep in many places, their summits rising to 500 or more feet above the valleys. Along But- ternut Creek, which has its head in Pompey and flows northerly and northeasterly through Jamesville to the Erie Canal, to which it is an important feeder, and which being rapid affords excellent water-power, were built some of the earliest mills in all this region. Besides this there are two somewhat famous lakes, one (Green Lake) a mile west of Jamesville and another (White Lake) some two miles northeast of that village. A little south of Jamesville is a picturesque reservoir con- structed by the State to sustain navigation on the western end of the "long level " of the Erie Canal, the dam being built of heavy masonry.

Below it is one of the most romantic ravines in the county. The entire valley through which the creek passes is interesting and attractive and possessed of much history. The country about Jamesville is pictur- esque, "rough, ragged and righteous," as was once written of Gibral- tar, with quarries here and there, and lime kilns among them. There are also caves in the vicinity of some importance, notably one about a mile east of Jamesville, which was discovered in 1807 by Nathan Beck- with, while sinking a well. It is some twenty feet below the surface, and in size is about five by seven feet. A small stream of water runs along the bottom. When opened it emitted a strong current of air.

THE TOWN OF DEWITT.

A story is told of a newly married couple, from Cazenovia, who en- tered the cave on a warm day in August to avoid the heat and remained there some three hours. When they emerged they found themselves to be thoroughly chilled, were taken ill, and both died within the fol- lowing week. Another and much larger cavern was discovered at a point two miles west of the village, and around it clusters a wealth of tradition. There is an old and improbable tradition that when it was first entered mining tools and a bar, of silver, two inches square and eighteen inches long, with a steel point, were found in its mouth, while some twenty rods from the entrance a kettle of money, supposed to have been coined there, was dug up. This led to the belief that a silver mine existed in the neighborhood. Again, while excavating a water trench near the old Dr. Baldwin house the workmen were accosted by a stranger, who said that not many feet away lay the skeleton of a man, which was discovered, and also that the land contained valuable treasures, which were never found, although for several years the vicinity was more or less explored. Another legend runs that when Colonel Van Schaick invaded the region in 1779 a squaw took refuge in this cave until the Onondagas were free from danger.

The town also contains other noteworthy features of more than local interest. The Messina Springs, situated north of where the New York Central Railroad freight tracks cross the extension of James street about three miles east of the city, were so named in 1835 from Messina in Sicily, near ancient Syracuse. The water is strongly impregnated with sulphur and has some claim for medicinal use. At one time they had some notoriety. They were discovered by Lewis Sweeting before the commencement of this century. On lot 81, north of Jamesville, gypsum was found in 1811 and later extensively manufactured into land plaster. Water limestone was also found in 1820 in large quanti- ties and has for many years been an important article of manufacture for market. So recent as 1895 discoveries of igneous rock, indicating volcanic eruptions at some remote period, were made by Prof. Philip F. Schneider and formed the subject of a special report by geologists of the United States survey under the title: "New Intrusive Dike at De Witt." Various eruptive conditions constituting interesting geolog- ical studies combine to make this an interesting field for the scientist and lover of nature.
