Mr. Ely taught languages, mathema- tics, etc., and Mrs. Ely music and sing- ing. Miss P. E. Southworth taught French and drawing. Thomas Le- Clere, who was born north of this vil- lage and who became one of the most celebrated portrait painters in Amer- ica, gave lessons in oil painting. At the opening of the spring term in 1844 it was announced that "persons will- ing to advance $25 and upwards in labor and materials toward the erec- tion of a new building for the institute next summer-payment thereof to be made in tuition in the institute-will please apply to the principals."
Mrs. Palmer conducted the semi- nary in Front street six years. In the spring of 1849 it passed into the hands
659
of Mrs. M. A. Chase and Miss H. P. Fellows, and Mrs. Palmer went to Binghamton. Mrs. Chase came here from Philadelphia. Her daughter, Miss Edith Chase, was later a teacher in St. Agnes's school in Albany. Miss Fellows had charge of the boarders and Mrs. Palmer was principal. They conducted the seminary four years.
At the close of the spring term in 1852 Mrs. Chase and Miss Fellows left the school, and on Jan. 4, 1852, Rev. and Mrs. George P. Porter began the winter term there. Mr. Porter was that year and the year following pas- tor of the Owego M. E. church. Mrs. Porter had been preceptress at the Wyoming Wesleyan seminary for sev- eral years. The Porters conducted the seminary until 1854, when Mr. Porter was assigned to the M. E. church at Waverly.
In the spring of 1854 Miss Eliza B. Thomas, a cousin of Charles C. and Albert R. Thomas, of Owego, opened a school which she called the Owego Female Institute in the house which was afterward for many years owned and occupied by Eli W. Stone. It is on the north side of Front street, the second house west of John street. Her assistant was Miss Laura C. Bartlett, who had been superintendent of the female department at the Owego acad- emy. In August, 1855, she offered the property for sale, saying that she de- sired to have her school in a more central part of the village. The school was discontinued at about this time.
In the spring of 1856 Mrs. Samuel C. Wilcox, who has lived in Philadel- phia since the death of her husband in 1854, returned to Owego and made an arrangement with Mrs. Guy Worthing-
660
ton, who was occupying the seminary building, to reopen the seminary, and the term began April 1, 1856, with Mrs. Wilcox as principal. Miss Dar- ling, Mrs. Wilcox's sister, came with her from Philadelphia and was an as- sistant teacher. Mrs. Worthington, who was the mother of the late bishop George Worthington, of Nebraska, had charge of the boarders and Mrs. Wil- cox was principal of the school. In the spring of 1857 Mrs. Worthington retired from the seminary and Mrs. Wilcox took entire control of both the school and the boarding establish- ment. Not long afterward Miss Dar- ling had charge of the housekeeping, and Miss Hall was engaged as vice- principal.
In the fall of 1858 Miss Josephine Hosmer came from Detroit, Mich., and assumed the management of the semi- nary. Her assistants were Misses S. Loring, of Concord, Mass., and M. E. Walker, of Portsmouth, N. H. Miss Hosmer remained here only a year and in Nov., 1859, Prof. and Mrs. George H. Burroughs, succeeded her.
Mr. Burroughs came here highly recommended by Theo. Frelinghuysen, president of Rutgers college,and presi- dent McLean, of Princeton college. He was a graduate of Princeton col- lege and had been for some time sub- sequent to his graduation a tutor. Mr. and Mrs. Burroughs conducted the seminary four years.
In the fall of 1863, Mrs. Belva Mc- Nall, now Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood, succeeded Mr. and Mrs. Burroughs and opened the fall term Sept. 24. Her assistants were Misses Anna Hurd, Julia A. Osborne, and Louisa Warner. At the close of the spring term in

1865, she left Owego and the seminary was permanently closed as a young ladies' school.
Since leaving Owego Mrs. Lockwood has attained national prominence. She was born at Royalton, Niagara coun- ty, N. Y., October 24, 1830, as Belva A. Bennett. She began teaching when she was 14 years old. Two years later, on Nov. 8, 1848, she was mar- ried to Uriah H. McNall, a young far- mer, of Royalton, who died there May 11, 1853. After his death she left her young daughter in the care of her pa- rents, in order to prepare herself for teaching. She was graduated from Genesee college at Lima, N. Y., in June, 1857, and soon afterward was appointed principal of the Lockport union school. Four years afterward she took charge of the Gainsville fe- male seminary, where she taught un- til she came to Owego in 1863. When she left Owego she went to Washing- ton, D. C., where she opened a school. March 11, 1868, she was married to Rev. Ezekiel Lockwood, a Baptist minister, who was at one time chap- lain of the Second District regiment at Washington. Soon after her sec- ond marriage she closed her school and began the study of law. In the winter of 1870 she applied for admis- sion to the law school of Columbia college at Washington, but was re- fused on the ground that her presence in the class "would distract the atten- tion of the young men." The next spring she was admitted to the Na- tional University law school, from which she was graduated in May, 1873. In November of that year she was ad- mitted to the bar of the supreme court of the District of Columbia, and im-
663
mediately thereafter began the prac- tice of law. In 1874 she visited Texas professionally and was admitted to the United States court in the western district. Her husband, Dr. Lockwood, died at Washington April 23, 1877. In October, 1878, she applied for admis- sion to the bar of the circuit court of Prince George county, Maryland, and was refused, although she had been allowed previously to file a civil suit in the federal court of Baltimore county, involving $50,000. In Febru- ary, 1879, congress passed an act, which permitted women to practise in the supreme court of the United States, and on the 3d of the following March her application to practise was granted by the justices of the United States court. Mrs. Lockwood was the first woman permitted to practise be- fore the highest tribunal in the coun- try. Her first application had been made three years previous and re- fused on the ground that a fair inter- pretation of the rules of the court ad- mitted only men, and unless the cus- tom should become more extended in the states or special legislation should be had on the subject it could not be done. In the national campaign of 1884 Mrs. Lockwood was the Woman's Rights candidate for president of the United States. In the summer of 1896 Mrs. Lockwood and Mrs. Frances Gra- ham French were appointed to repre- sent the United States at the second international congress of charities and the second international congress for the protection of children at Geneva, Switzerland.
The old seminary lot was sold by Charles Pumpelly's heirs in October, 1874, to Thomas I. Chatfield. The
66-
back part of the lot at the main street end had been sold several years pre- vious to Daniel L. Jenks and Frederick E. Platt and the houses built by them still stand there. Mr. Chatfield sold the seminary lot in November, 1875, to Mrs. Catherine B. Deming, who in April, 1878, sold part of it to Jefferson C. Dwelle, who built on it the house now owned by Howard J. Mead.
The First Burying Ground in Owego, with a History of Evergreen Ceme- tery, Which Was Established in 1851, and some Account of Sasana Loft, the Indian Girl, Who Was Killed in a Railroad Accident at De- posit, and Whose Body Lies Buried under a Marble Monument in the Highest Part of the Cemetery, Over- locking the Susquehanna Valley.
The first burying ground in this vil- lage was at the southeast corner of Main and Court streets and occupied the land on which now stand the sher- iff's residence and jail, the old Acad- emy building, and the new county clerk's office. Bodies had been pre- viously buried at the southwest corner of Main and Lake streets and near the southeast corner of Main and Acad- emy streets, but they were afterward disinterred and buried in this burying ground.
When the Presbyterian church prop- erty was purchased a burying ground was laid out at its east end in Temple street. People who had friends buried in the old burying ground caused the bodies to be taken up and removed to the new ground, and the Court street property was abandoned as a burial place.

The project for a village cemetery was advocated and carried through in 1851 by William F. Warner, with some opposition. Mr. Warner was at that time clerk of the village board of trustees.
The first action taken for the estab- lishment of the cemetery was on Sat- urday evening, March 8, 1851, at a public meeting of citizens at the court house, when resolutions were adopt d directing the village trustees to pur- chase suitable land for a village bury- ing ground and authorizing a tax of $1,500 to be levied within three years, for the purpose of paying for the land, fencing it, and putting it in proper condition.
There was a difference of opinion as to where the cemetery should be loca- ted, some of the people desiring that it should be on level ground, others favoring the present site on the hill north of the village as the most de- sirable, for the reason that the land would never be needed for any other purpose in case the village should grow to any extent and would remain undisturbed as a burying ground for many years. The hill site was finally selected.
In the spring of 1851 the village trustees purchased of George Talcott a piece of eleven and one-fifth acres of land for $952, together with the right of way for a road thereto. East avenue, then known as "the mountain road," was adopted as the road to the cemetery for a distance of 70 rods, at which point a triangular course was taken to the entrance to the cemetery, a further distance of 56 rods, making the entire distance from North avenue
666
130 rods. The road was at once laid out sixteen feet wide.
The ground was surveyed in the winter of 1851-2 by Stephen Dexter. wno laid it out intosquares of four lots each, with a walk on two sides of each lot, and in March, 1852, it was named Evergreen cemetery.
The first body buried in the ceme- tery was that of Mrs. Frank Swift, wife of Dan C. Swift, and daughter of Gideon O. Chase. Mr. Chase went to the cemetery and with his cane marked in the snow the spot where the grave was to be dug.
The first keeper of the cemetery was Thomas P. Hall, who was ap- pointed in March, 1852. In January. 1853, he was succeeded by Prince Van- Ness, who was keeper until his death in 1567.
The cemetery was enlarged by sub- sequent purchases of land adjoining the original plot. In August, 1864, Mr. Talcott sold for $1,500 eleven acres additional land. It was further en- larged in December, ISSS, by the pur- chase for $135 an acre of a strip of land 240 feet wide and containing ten and one-half acres, north of and ad- joining the cemetery. The next en- largment was in January, 1897, when a lot in the form of a trapezoid was purchased for $200 of the heirs of George Talcott. It was 50 feet wide on North avenue, about 300 feet on the cemetery line, and about 400 feet deep. The land was purchased in order to give people living in that part of the village easy access to the cemetery. Another addition to the cemetery was made in January, 1902, when the prop- erty of George Brown was sold at par- tition sale. At this sale a piece con-
667
taining about sixteen acres adjoining the cemetery was purchased by the village for $910 and added to the ceme- tery.
The Sasana Loft Monument.
On the summit of the hill in the southeastern part of the cemetery stands the Sasana Loft monument, erected to the memory of an Indian girl, who was killed in a railroad acci- dent in 1852 and whose body is buried there.
The Lofts were Mohawk Indians of unmixed blood, direct descendants of the great Thayendanegea (Brant), and they left Canajonarie, in the valley of the Mohawk river, soon after the breaking out of the revolutionary war, and went to Canada West, where they settled in what was known as the Mohawk Woods, township of Thayen- danegea, on the Salmon river.
The family consisted of a widowed mother, a son, and three daughters. The son, Rok-wa-ho Loft, and two of his sisters, Ya-go-weia Loft and Sa-sa-na Loft, leaving their mother and eldest sister at their Canada home, came to the United States, for the purpose of giving concerts, the proceeds of which were to be used in educating and christianizing the Mo- hawk people.
The Lofts gave two concerts in Owe- go in February, 1852, at which time Sa-sa-na, the eldest of the two sisters, was 21 years of age. While they were here judge Charles P. Avery, who was greatly interested in Indians and Indian history, became particularly in- terested in this family and entertained them at his home.
After leaving Owego they went to Deposit, where they gave a concert
66S
February 17. The following day the sisters were seated in the rear car of a train at the railroad station, while the brother was buying tickets at the office. An alarm was given that the engineer of a freight train at the sum- mit, eight miles back, had lost control of his locomotive and had abandoned his train, which was dashing down a grade of sixty feet to the mile at ter- rific speed toward the station. Most of the passengers were in the station dining room at dinner. The two sis- ters made an effort to escape from the car. Both reached the platform. Ya-go-weia escaped, but Sa-sa-na fell back upon the car, which was almost entirely torn to pieces by the collision, and she was crushed and scalded to death.
Judge Avery caused the body to be brought back to his home in Owego. and her funeral was held February 20 at St. Paul's church, Rev. James Wat- son, the rector, officiating. Her body was taken to the old Presbyterian church yard in Temple street, where it was deposited in the Avery family vault. It was intended by the brother to remove it in the following spring to his home in Canada, but the family was afterward prevailed upon to allow it to be buried here in Evergreen cem- etery. There are persons still living in Owego, who remember, when chil- dren, walking in the procession from the church to the church yard, and have not forgotten the erect figure of the bereaved brother, tall and thin, dressed in black, and with his long black jet hair falling down over his shoulders.
Two days before the funeral in Owego the coroner's jury at Deposit
1
669
found a verdict censuring the New York and Erie railroad company for the accident. In the following April judge Avery took out letters of ad- ministration from the Broome county court in the estate of the deceased, his object in this proceeding being to obtain in behalf of the next of kin the amount of damage which the statute authorized and the circumstances of the case rendered equitable. Judge Avery gave his services free, as he had previously given his hospitality. The railroad compromised suit Sep- tember 20, 1852, by paying to the In- dian family $2,000, all of which amount was afterward religiously expended in the publication of useful books in the Mohawk language for the education and christianization of the Mohawk people on the Canada reservation.
In May, 1852, some of the ladies of Owego originated a movement to ob- tain funds by subscription, with which to erect a monument to the Indian girl. They did not accomplish any- thing. In the fall of the same year the ladies of Auburn, Albany, Bing- hamton, and Oxford raised $109.75. Two years later, March 24, 1854, judge Avery, at the request of a committee of gentlemen delivered a lecture at the court house on "Tioga County and Its Early History," to raise funds to finish paying for the monument. The amount realized from the lecture was $34.27.
These amounts, with interest, in May, 1855, amounted to $165.61. The monument was erected that month at a cost of $201.58, the difference being afterward paid by the ladies of Owego. The monument, which was worth at ordinary prices from $350 to $400 was
670
furnished at cost. It is a pure white marble obelisk, standing seventeen feet above the surface of the ground, with bases of veined marble, on a sub- base of blue granite fourteen inches thick and three feet square, resting on a pier of solid masonry, carried up five feet from a rock foundation and laid in cement. It overlooks the Sus- quehanna valley, standing in full view of the village on the highest point in Evergreen cemetery. On the front or obverse side are the words: In mem- ory of Sa-sa-na Loft, an Indian Maiden of the Mohawk Woods, Call- ada West, who lost her life in the Railroad Disaster at Deposit, N. Y .. Feb. 18, 1852, aged 21 years." On the reverse is a handsomely executed de- vice-a single wild rose, with stem broken and a leaf gone. On the west side is this inscription: "By birth a daughter of the Forest; by adoption a child of God." The body of the Ill- dian girl is buried at the foot of the monument on the east side.
In 1852, a pamphlet was published at Hamilton, Canada, which contained among other things a poem by the poet, W. H. C. Hosmer, entitled, "La- ment of Sa-sa-na."
Owego and Oswego.
The similarity of the names, Owego and Oswego, has always been a disad- vantage to this village. The name of Oswego,on account of Oswego's greater size and prominence, being better known, business nien at Owego have been as a consequence subjected to frequent annoyance, expense, and loss, on account of letters and goods having been misdirected or missent to Os- wego. For this reason there has been
671
at various times some talk of having the name of Owego changed by legis- lative enactment, but sufficient inter- est has never been taken in the mat- ter to bring about the desired change.
For some inscrutable reason some of those who have been seriously in- convenienced by the similarity in the names have manifested opposition to any change, when such change has been suggested, thinking perhaps that a teni- porary derangement of affairs for a short time until the new name should be generally known in the business world would cause them some annoy- ance. But this would have been only temporary.
In addition to this unimportant ob- jection there was some disagreement as to what should be the new name for the village. The original Indian name was Ahwaga, of which Owego is a corrupt spelling. Some of the peo- ple have objected to the name, Al- waga, but without apparent good rea- son, as it is a smooth name to pro- nounce and means something, while Owego is commonplace and meaning- less.
If an Indian name is desirable none more musical in its sound could be found than Canawana, the Indian name by which the western part of the village has always been known. Judge Avery in his Susquehanna Val- ley papers says that Ca-ne-wa-nah, or Canewana, as it is now known, was in the Seneca dialect "Ne-wa-na Ca- noeush," meaning literally "little liv- ing water." It was so named from the spring known as the Indian spring, situated a little west of the Owego creek, at the northern base of the cliff, north of the Main street
672
bridge. The present name is obtained by the arbitrary transposition of syllables.
In case a change of name should ever be decided upon no name more musical in its pronunciation, nor none more appropriate, could be selected. There is no village of that name in the United States, and its adoption would obviate all the annoyance and unpleasant conditions from which business men have been so long sub- jected. There has never been any serious objection to a change, and that there has never been any change in the name of the village is owing to the apathy of those most directly in- terested.
Errors Corrected.
In the hurry of publishing these papers in a weekly newspaper there were some typographical errors in printing which were overlooked at the time and are here corrected:
Page 9. The name of Ephraim Wood appears twice, first as having come here in 1789, and again in 1799. The correct date is 1799.
Page 20. The name of Selecta Draper was written Electa Draper in the Avery manuscript of Mrs. Caty Harris's statement, and so printed. The name is correctly given on page 12.
Page 25. The name of the father of Col. David Pixley's second wife is given as Joseph Patterson and on page 28 it is printed James Patterson. Joseph Patterson is correct.
Page 32. The date of John M. Mc- Quigg's removal from Owego to Spen- cer should be 1808 instead of 1898. The date of Capt. John McQuigg's
673
death should have been printed 1804 instead of 1813. Capt. McQuigg is said to have fought in the battle of White Plains Oct. 28, 1776. The date of the removal of John M. McQuigg from Owego is misprinted 1898. It should be 1798.
Page 33. Daniel McQuigg, the Ithaca merchant is said by his widow to have been a nephew instead of a son of Capt. John McQuigg.
Page 55. Samuel M. Avery in the second line should read Samuel W. Avery. See page 118, where it is printed correctly.
Page 84. The words, "Married Ann S. Gregory in 1810" should read, mar- ried Ann S. Gregory, born in 1810.
Page 96. The name of Matthias H. Ilollenback should have been printed Matthias Hollenback.
Page 121. The date in the first line should be 1804-5.
Page 152. H. A. Mead should read H. J. Mead.
Page 193. A. B. Gere should have been printed I. B. Gere.
Page 200. Edward R. Warner should be Edward W. Warner.
Page 653. Rev. John O'Mara came to Owego in April, 1877, instead of 1887, as printed.
