TOWN OF ELIA.
Elba is the central of the northern tier of towns. It is bounded on the north by Barre, Orleans county; on the east by Byron, on the south by Stafford and Batavia, and on the west by Oakfield. The surface of the town is undulating. with gently rising slopes, and the soil is ex- tremely productive. Fruit and grain are the chief crops. Underneath the soil is a stratum of limestone. The principal stream is Oak Orchard creek, which has numerous tributaries flowing into it from the south. The chief source of this stream is a never failing spring called the "Hackley spring," located near Dunham's Corners. Oak Orchard creek flows northeast through the centre of the town to the northeast corner, and thence in a westerly direction a short distance south of the northern boundary. Its tributaries flow in the same general direction. Spring ereek rises in the southeast corner and flows northeasterly into the town of Byron. These streams furnish ample water power. The "Scott spring," which is strongly impregnated with sulphur, in the

southeast corner, is the source of a small creek flowing through " The Transit," which for many years has furnished power for the Transit mills on the east line of the town. The West Shore Railroad runs through the town east and west, a short distance south of the centre.
The first permanent settler in Elba was John Young, who, on July 11, 1803, purchased of the Holland Land Company a farm a short dis- tance south of Elba village. In 1804 John Roraback located on the site of Elba village (then called " Pine Hill"). He was the first weaver in town, and many of the pioneers wore clothing cut from c'oth made by him. Thomas Turner, Ephraim Husted, Bannan Clark, Orlando Town and Ephraim Wortman were also early settlers. The first school was taught by Chester Scott; Comfort Smith conducted the first grist mill, Solomon Smith the first carding works and distillery, Horace Gibbs the first saw mill, Stephen Harmon the first tavern, in 1813; Samuel Laing the first store, in 1819. Dr. Daniel Wood was the pioneer physician. The first religious society was that of the Quaker denomination, estab- lished about 1820.
Elba was erected from Batavia March 11, 1820. The town of Oak- field was set off April 11, 1842. The first town meeting was held March 14. when these officers were elected :
Supervisor, Lemuel Foster, towa clerk and collector, Mason Turner; assessors, George Mills, Charles Woodworth and John Underhill; overseers of the poor, Eras- tus Wolcott and Isaac Benedict ; commissioners of highways, Jeremiah Wilford, Mark Turner and Dudley Sawyer. commissioners of schools, Lemuel Foster, Jeremiah Wilford and Isaac Higley: constables, Eleazur D.

or the Pinery. The village has a population of about six hundred, has four churches-Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist Protestant and Ger- man Evangelical; a public school, private school, several stores, a hotel, two stave and heading factories, saw mills and grist mills.
Lanckton's Corners is a small place north of the centre of the town. East Elba, a hamiet in the southeast corner, has a church and school. Davis's Corners, on the southern boundary, is a very small hamlet.
TOWN OF LE ROY.
Le Roy is the most easterly town in Genesee county, and is second in importance to Batavia only. It is bounded on the north by Byron and Bergen, and by Riga, Monroe county, on the east by Wheatland, Monroe county, and Caledonia, Livingston county; on the south by Caledonia and Pavilion, and on the west by Stafford and Bergen. The surface of the town for the most part is undulating, though level in many places. The southern part contains a few low hills. The Oatka creek enters the town at its southwest corner, flows in a northerly di- rection through the village of Le Roy, and about two miles north of that village turns and pursues a southeasterly course until it leaves the town. It furnishes splendid water power at Le Roy and elsewhere. The first grist mill in Genesee county was erected on this stream at Le Roy by Captain John Ganson. Buttermilk Falls, in the Oatka, are a short distance north of Le Roy. Mud creek flows northeast through the southeast section of the town. Neither has any tributaries of im - portance. Three railroads traverse the town, all passing through Le Roy village. The Erie and the New York Central and Hudson River Railroa.l (Canandaigua branch) pass east and west south of the centre. The Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg Railway runs parallel with the first two roads mentioned from the east limits of the town to Le Roy village, and there turns and proceeds in a southerly direction into Pa. vilion. A dozen salt wells are located in the town, and since their dis- covery the salt industry has been the most important, from most stand . points, of any in Le Roy.
The first settlement in town was made in 1793 by Charles Wilbur, who erected a log tavern on the site of Le Roy village. In 1797 Cap- tain John Ganson immigrated to this point, purchased Wilbur's tavern, and soon afterward built a mill there. Soon afterward Deacon Hinds Chamberlin moved to a farm near by. Both lived in the castern part

of the present village. Others who came about this time were Chap- man Hawley, Gilbert Half, Jesse Beach, Philip Beach, and Samdej Davis' who also opened a tavern east of the village. General Daniel Davis, who located in town in 1801, was also an early tavern keeper. He was a brigadier general in the War of 1812, and was killed in the sortie before Fort Erie. Asa Buell, a Revolutionary soldier, was another primitive settler. Jeremiah Hascall, who came in 1805, was a justice of the peace when all the territory in the State west of the Genesee river was embraced in his jurisdiction. James Austin, Nathan Harvey, Richard Waite, Stephen Stillwell and the Parmalee family were also pioneers.
The first school house in the town was built in 1801. In it the first school was taught in 1802 by Luseba Scott. Dr. William Coe was the first physician, and Dudley Saltonstall the first to practice law. The first bridge, built on the site of the present Main street bridge over the Outka, was constructed in 1801, and cost four hundred dollars. The first church services, Protestant Episcopal, began in 1802; but the first church to be regularly organized was the Presbyterian church of Le Roy, founded February 7, 1812.
The town of Le Roy was erected from Caledonia, Livingston county, June 8, 1812, and called Bellona. Its name was afterward changed to Le Roy in honor of Herman Le Roy, a New York city merchant who was one of the original purchasers of the " Triangle Tract." This tract was surveyed in 1801 by Richard M. Stoddard, who subsequently became the local agent for its sale. A part of Stafford was taken from Le Roy in 1820, and a part of Pavilion in 1842. Le Roy originally formed a part of the great township of Northampton, which embraced all the territory west of the Genesee river. The first town meeting of North- ampton was held at Caledoma (originally known as Big Springs) April 4, 1992. Gad Wadsworth presided. Josiah Fish was elected super- visor, Eli Granger town clerk, Peter Shaefer road commissioner and poormaster, Isaac Scott fence-viewer, Hinds Chamberlin, constable.
Upon the erection of the county of Genesee the present territory of Le Roy became a part of the town of Southampton, erected from a part of the original town of Northampton. The first meeting of the newly formed township was held in March, 1802, when Christopher

Le Roy village is located southeast of the center of the town, on the Oatka ereek, which furnishes a fine water power at this point. The original purchasers of the tract on which the village is located were Richard M. Stoddard and Dudley Saltonstall, who bought it from Le Roy, Bayard and MeEvers. Ezra Platt subsequently purchased Salton-

stall's interest. Stoddard and Platt built a log house on the bank of Allen's creek in 1801 and opened a land office In the same year they erected mills at Buttermilk Falls. In 1810 a stone building was built on the west bank of the creek, near the bridge, for merchandising purposes exclusively, and occupied by George A. Tiffany.1 The first school in the village was taught by Mrs. Wolcott in 1804. The first church, Presby- terian, was founded in 1812.
The village was incorporated by the Legislature in May, 1834. The first corporation meeting was held July 3, 1834, at the house of Theodore Dwight. Hinds Chamberlin presided.

Le Roy ranks as the second village in Genesee county in point of population, wealth and the number and importance of its industries. First and most important among its industrial elements is the great plant of the Le Roy Salt Company. There are also in the village three flouring mills, a mammoth cold storage warehouse, reputed to be next to the largest in the entire United States, a second produce warehouse, a grain elevator, three large malt houses, all under one management, an iron foundry, two grist mills, two wagon shops, two broom factories, a machine shop and foundry combined, a planing. mill, five proprietary medicine manufactories, and extensive stone quarries located near the village. There are also seven churches -- Presbyterian, Protestant Episcopal, Baptist, Methodist Episcopal, Catholic, German Evangelical Lutheran and Universalist; an excellent union free school system, two banks, two principal hotels? and several smaller ones, two weekly news- papers-the Le Roy Gazette and the Genesee Courier, a Masonie lodge and other secret and social organizations, a gas company, an electric light plant, now owned by the village; an excellent system of water works, a first class fire department, with one chemical engine, one hook and ladder truck and one hose cart ; a large number of stores and shops and well paved streets. The Canandaigua branch of the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad, the Erie Railroad and the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg Railway pass through the northern part of the village, each having a separate depot. The village was formerly the seat of Ingham University, whose buildings are still standing, and of the Le Roy Academic Institute, whose building is now occupied by the Le Roy High School.
Three miles north of Le Roy village, at a point known as Fort Hill, is the ruin of an ancient Indian fort, occupying a high bank bounded by Fordham's brook and Allen's creek, which effect a junction at this point. This fortification is about thirteen hundred feet from north to south, and two thousand feet across its broadest part, narrowing to one thousand feet at its neck, which connects it with the general table-land. There is a trace of an embankment and ditch about fifteen hundred feet long across the broad part, east and west. Skeletons, pottery, pipes,

beads, arrow and spear heads were formerly found here. Nothing defi- nite is known as to the builders of these works, whether the Senecas or another tribe before them.
TOWN of OAKFIELD.
Oakfield is one of the northern tier of the towns in Genesee county. It is bounded on the north by Barre, Orleans county, on the east by Elba, on the south by Batavia, and on the west by Alabama. The name was given it on account of the large surface of oak timber and oak openings covering the territory. The surface of the town is gently undulating in some places, but for the most part ievel, sloping to the north and west. The soil is a deep, sandy loam, with a subsoil of clay, and exceedingly fertile. Oak Orchard creek flows westerly through the northern part of the town. One of its tributaries, rising near the south line of the town and flowing north, affords ample power for mills and manufacturing. The Tonawanda Swamp extends across the north- ern portion, along Oak Orchard ereek, and abounds with timber. In the western part of the town is one of the finest plaster beds in the State, extending from the west bounds two miles eastward, and half a mile in width. Salt springs, from which large quantities of salt were manufactured at an early day, are found near the centre of the town.
Indian mounds and earthworks that have gone into history as the most remarkable and best preserved of any in the State are found in Oakfield. The work in the best state of preservation is about half a mile west of Oakfield village. It consists of breastworks and a ditch, covers about ten acres, and is known as " the old fort." The height of the embankment above the bottom of the ditch is about six feet, and both show abundant evidence of artificial grading and engineering skill. Ancient lodges anl broken pottery have been found in a part of these works. A ravine through which Dry creek flows forms the west side of the fort. Trees which bear evidences of being upwards of three hundred years old have grown upon the works, showing their antiquity. Passages with sides built up of' stone are found on the west side. A mile to the northeast is the remnant of " bone fort," marked only by scattered fragments of bones.
The Rev. Samuel Kirtland, the missionary sent out by Sir William Johnson to visit the Senecas in 1188, visited this spot. In the journal of his life among the Indians, he says the Senecas called these forts

Te.gat-ai neaa-ghgue, or "doubled fortified town," i. e., a town with a fort at each end. Northeast of this fort, and about a mile therefrom, stood another fort, though of smaller dimensions.
The first settlements in Oakfield were made in 1801 by Erastus Wol- cott and Aaron White. Soon after, in the same year, Gideon Dunham settled in the oak openings and gave the name to Dunham's Grove. Peter Rice and Christopher Kenyon came in the latter part of the same year. Among those who came in 1802 were Peter Lewis, Daniel Ayer ann Job Babcock. Gideon Dunham opened the first tavern. The first grist and saw mills were erected in 1811 by Christopher Kenyon, and the first wool-carding and cloth dressing mill was put in operation in 1829 by Othniel Brown. The first store at Oakfield, then Cary- ville, was opened in 1833 by Col. Alfred Cary, after whom the vil- lage was named. The earliest religious services were held by the Free- will Baptists. The first regular church organization was effected in 1832 by the Methodists, under the Rev. Hiram May.
Oakfield was erected from Elba April 11, 1542. The first officers chosen at the first town meeting were:
Supervisor, Moses True town clerk, George Burden; assessors, William Wolcott, John C. Gardner, John G. Satterlee, justice of the peace, John G. Satterlee ; commis- sinners of highways. John G. Gardner. Perez Howland and George E. Martin.
