THE INSTRUMENT OF DONATION.

WHEREAS, we the Rector, Church Wardens and Vestrymen of Trinity Church, in the city of Watertown, county of Jefferson, State of New York, Diocese of Central New York, having, by the good presence of Almighty God, received the gift in the said city of Watertown, of a house of public worship, we do hereby appropriate and devote the same to the worship and service of Almighty God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, accord- ing to the provision of the Protestant Episco- pal Church in the United States of America, in its Ministry, Doctrines, Liturgy, Rights and Usages, and by a congregation in com- munion with said church, and in union with the convention thereof, in the Diocese of Central New York.

And we do also hereby request the Right Reverend FREDERICK DAN HUNTINGTON, S. T.D., LL.D., Bishop of the said Diocese, to take the said building under his spiritual jurisdiction, as Bishop, aforesaid, and that of his successors in office, and to consecrate the same by the name of Trinity Church, and

thereby separate it from all unhallowed, worldly and common uses, and solemnly dedicate it to the holy purposes above men- tioned.

And we do moreover hereby relinquish all claim to any right of disposing of the said building, or allowing of the use of it in any way inconsistent with the terms and true meaning of this Instrument of Donation, and with the consecration hereby requested of the Bishop of this Diocese.

In testimony whereof, we, the said Rector, Church Wardens and Vestrymen of Trinity Church, in the city of Watertown, county of Jefferson, State of New York, and Diocese of Central New York, have caused this Instru- ment of Donation to have attached to it the seal of our corporation, and the signatures of the presiding officer and clerk of a meeting duly convened on the eighth day of Septem- ber, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and ninety.

GRACE EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

July 21, 1867, consent having been obtained from Bishop Coxe, and from Rev. Theodore Babcock, Rector of Trinity Church, the first services for organizing Grace Church werc held at the Court House in Watertown, according to the rules of the Protestant Epis- copal Church of the United States of America. The Rev. Edwin M. Van Dusen, of Grace Church, Utica, N Y., officiated, at which time notice was given of the meeting of the members of the congregation, worshipping as aforesaid, to be held on August 14, 1867, for the purpose of incorporating themselves as a religious society.

On August 14, 1867, Grace church was duly incorporated, with F. W. Hubbard and C. D. Wright as wardens; James F. Star- buck, George A. Bagley, Levi H. Brown, L. J. Dorwin, W. R. Trowbridge, A. H. Hall, George H. Sherman and C. H. Van Brakle, as vestrymen.

July 30, 1868, Rev. John A. Staunton was called as the first rector. June 10, 1869, Grace Church chapel was duly consecrated by Bishop Huntington.

March 11, 1889, a resolution was passed by the vestry to build a new church according to the plans and specifications of Messrs. L. B. Valk & Son, of New York City. A. D. Remington and George A. Bagley were ap- pointed a building committee, and on May 3, 1889, ground was broken for the new edifice at the corner of Sterling and Clay streets.

January 13, 1891, the new church was fully completed and opened for divine ser- vice. The church is a fine building, built in a combination of different styles of architec- ture, harmoniously blended, in which the Romanesque prevails. It will seat 550 peo- ple. An interesting fact in connection with the church is that, with few exceptions, this beautiful edifice and all its appointments stand as an example of what local talent can accomplish.

The present rector, the Very Rev. William Henry Bown, accepted a unanimous call to the parish, April 4, 1893. Under Mr. Bown's administration, a vested choir has been added to the church, an Altar Guild, a Young Men's Guild, a Junior Auxiliary Society, and a free dispensary has been organized.

Officers for 1894: Charles D. Wright, Senior Warden; Lewis F. Phillips, Junior Warden; George A. Bagley, Levi H. Brown,

George H. Sherman, James L. Newton, Alfred D. Remington, C. William Clark, Charles H. Remington, Stuart D. Lansing, Vestrymen; Fred M. Carpenter, Clerk ; Stuart D. Lansing, Treasurer; George Wallis, Supt. Sunday School; Miss Jessie M. Clark, Organ- ist; Charles H. Remington, Choir Master. Victor Fields, Sexton.

THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL

Denomination at an early day organized a class, and in November, 1821, a society, with Jonathan Cowan, Titus Ives (father of Hon. Willard Ives), John Collins, Thomas Potter, and Henry H. Coffeen, trustees. In 1824 the society was reorganized, and soon after erected on Arsenal street a stone church which stood there for many years, since taken down, and the site now occupied by the Arsenal street school house. After a while, the organization having increased rapidly, the Methodists re- solved to organize a new society, and the re- sult was the State Street Methodist Society.

The church erected after taking down the old stone church, was burned in 1877, and the present commodious building erected on the same site, Arsenal street, below the armory.

In the spring of 1894 the Arsenal Street Church had a membership of 49 probationers and 653 full members. For several years it has carried on chapel work across the river. This year the chapel work (called Bethany Church), became independent and organized an official board. Rev. Robert Flint was appointed pastor. This church has two pro- bationers and 66 members. The Sunday- School of the parent church had 606 scholars.

The present official board is : J. B. Ham- mond, Pastor; Martin Ford, Sunday-School Superintendent; I. Graves, Local Preacher; A. N. Gillet, Winfred Wood, San- ford Peters, Albert Gurnee, Willard Ives, H. G. Easton, Wm. Loan, Lorenzo Rogers, Mrs. E. J. Warner, Robert Young, George Switzer, Class Leaders; A. R. Wilson, T. D. Mather, O. J. Bishop, L. N. Tucker, Brayton Brown, J. W. Empey, E. E. Folsom, Thomas Conklin, George H. Philips, L. N. Stevens, Delmont S. Brown, H. M. Kellar, William G. Dorr, Stewards; G. H. Tallett, L. N. Tucker, Willard Ives, David Satchwell, J. M. Adams, Albert Gurnee, Jolin Neuroth, Trustees. The pastor's address is 58 Arsenal street. Value of church property, $30,000.

CITY OF WATERTOWN.

STATE STREET METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH .- Dec. 11, 1848, it was decided by the official board and other leading members of the Watertown M. E. Church to divide the same. Under the official sanction of Bishop Janes, D. D., on motion of Willard Ives, the division was made at a line made by Washing- ton and Mill streets. Rev. James Erwin and Hiram Woodruff were appointed the stationed preachers of the two churches. State street church was legally organized January 29, 1849, with Rev. Lewis Whitcomb as presiding elder. The Trustees were: Thos. Baker, President, Augustus J. Peck, Solomon H. Carter, Harlow Scovil, Josiah Huckins, Albert Cook, Edmund Davis, George Porter, James M. Sigourney.

The church prospered, and now has a mem- bership of 400. It is thoroughly organized and aggressive in Christian activity. Ita present pastor is Rev. William D. Marsh, a broad-minded, able and most acceptable minister. His father was lieutenant colonel of the 16th N. Y. Infantry, killed at Gaines' Mills, Va.

The present Board of Trustees are: J. W. Weeks, Joseph K. Moffett, P. B. Grant, F. P. Rbines, George McComber, L. C. Green- leaf, N. H. Winslow, J. R. Pawling.

THE UNIVERSALIST CHURCH.

This religious aociety was organized Janu- ary 3, 1825. The first Board of Trustees were Chauncey Calhoun, Joseph Sheldon, Ichiel M. Howell, Reuben Goodale, Jonathan Baker and Eliot Makepeace. The name given to the organization was the First Uni- versalian Society of Watertown. The late Rev. Pitt Morse was chiefly instrumental in securing the organization, and became its first pastor, and continued in that relation for a period of twelve years or more. The society purchased the site where its church edifice now stands, of Chauncey Calhoun, January 2, 1826, for the sum of $150. The pastors serving the Society from its organization till the present time have been Revs. Pitt Morse, Wm. H. Wagoner, Harvey Boughton, James H. Stewart, A. A. Thayer, E. W. Reynolds, I. M. Atwood, D. C. Tomlinson, Rev. Mr. Babbitt, Harvey Hersey, J. H. Porter, Dr. Richmond Fisk and the Rev. D. L. R. Libby, the present pastor. In the course of these years, many eminent clergymen of that de- nomination have visited this Society and preached or lectured to its members, among whom will be remembered Dolphus Skinner, A. B. Grosh, Hosea Ballou, E. H. Chapin, Charles Skinner, Abel Thomas, T. Starr King, and others.

The first edifice of the Society was built of stone, which took fire in the steeple from the burning of a neighboring house, in 1850, and was utterly destroyed, after which the present structure was built of brick.

The property of the church now consists of the lot and church edifice, and house and lot on Franklin street joining the church lot, and a fine parsonage on Winthrop street, in all

valued at from $48,000 to $50,000. The Society is in a prosperous condition, there being 211 communicants enrolled, be- ing a greater number than were ever before registered at any one time, its mem- bers being very active in charitable work. Its present Board of Trustees are: H. M. Ball, L. R. Murray, Chas. E. Brown and F. B. Devendorf; Secretary, F. B. Devendorf; Treasurer, Louis Washburn; Collector, F. M. Lamon. There is a large and flourishing Sunday-School connected with the church, as well as a Young People's Christian Endeavor Society. The church choir has for many years been regarded as a model one, if not the best in the city. Indeed, several of the other church choirs have been recruited from the choir of the Universalist Church, under the long and efficient training of Mr. Samuel Adams, its chorister and trainer for nearly a quarter of a century.

THE FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

This church was organized in 1815, and is one of the oldeat societies in the county. The first public exercises of a religious character in Watertown were held in the house of Hart Massey, in March, 1801. In 1803, Rev. E. Lazelle organized a congregation at Burrville, which may be regarded as the beginning of the present organization. Fifteen united then. In 1815 the final organizatian was legally accomplished. In July, 1814, Rev. Daniel Banks was called, and he accepted, Oct. 16, 1815, July 26, 1821, Rev. Geo. S. Boardman was duly ordained, and was installed as pastor. In 1837 Mr. Boardman departed. The membership then numbered 233. Rev. Isaac Brayton was installed in 1837, and continued 26 years as pastor, much beloved. Rev. Dr. Porter came in 1864, and continued until 1881, a period of 17 years. Rev. George B. Stevena succeeded him, but in 1886 he resigned to accept a chair in Yale University. Rev. A. M. Dulles then was installed, and is now the pastor.

Communicants, 566; teachers in Sunday School, 40; scholars in Sunday School, 254; vols. in library, 500.

Church Session: J. C. Knowlton, S. F. Bagg, G. B. Maasey, E. B. Sterling, C. H. Anthony, J. R. Stebbins, G. W. Knowlton, W. H. Porter.

AFRICAN M. E. ZION CHURCH.

The only colored church in Jefferson county belongs to one of the two great branches of colored Methodists in the United States, known as the African Methodist Episcopal and African Methodist Episcopal Zion churches. The church at Watertown belongs to the latter connection.

The church was organized in 1878, in a private house on River street. Rev. Hamil- ton R. Phoenix was the first pastor. Under

240

THE GROWTH OF A CENTURY.

his pastorate the church was erected near the corner of Court and River streets. The society was small, and the colored people being poor, they had many struggles to maintain an existence as a church. The money needed for the erection of this church was raised principally by the young people, who sang in the white churches the jubilee songs of their people, followed by collections.

Among the first members of this church were Henry H. Barr, who has faithfully stood by the church in all of her struggles. He was always ready to give the preachers a shelter, and contribute liberally for the sup- port of the Gospel. Born a slave, and coming North after the war, by his industry he bas been able to buy a comfortable home. Though over 70 he still works at his trade. Through all his ups and downs he has helped Zion.

When Rev. H. R. Phoenix left the church, there was a debt on the lot of $150. Rev. James A. Wright, successor to Rev. Mr. Phoenix, laid the matter before the secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association, who raised the money, and for security the trustees of the church turned the property over to the Young Men's Christian Associa- tion, which they still hold under certain con- ditions.

The following pastors have served the church for longer or shorter terms: Rev. Solomon Jones, Rev. Elias Washington, Rev. Z. H. Tyler, Rev. J. E. Allen, Rev. George C. Smith, Rev. William H. Washington, (deceased), Rev. George C. Smith. The present pastor (July, 1894), is Rev. George C. Carter. Through his energy the church has been revived, and the building is under. going repairs; when finished it will be neat and attractive. Rev. Mr. Carter has the reputation of being one of the best financiers in his connection, and is a man of education.

THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCI- ATION of the city of Watertown, at the present time is under the management of nineteen of the business men of the city. The following are the officers of the Associ- ation: Colonel Albert D. Shaw, President; George V. S. Camp, Vice-President; Harvey R. Waite, Recording Secretary; George B. Massey, Treasurer; Frank A. Ingraham, General Secretary; B. T. Simpson, Physical Director. The Association building is located at the corner of Washington street and Public Square, and is the generous gift of John A. Sherman, now deceased, a noble-hearted Christian gentleman, whose aged widow still survives, at the age of 87. A reading room is furnished with eighty of the best papers and magazines of the day, and is free to all men. A library of 1,100 volumes, free to members. A gymnasium equipped with the most approved apparatus. Bath rooms sup- plied with shower, needle, sponge and tub baths. Sixteen classes each week are under instruction in the gymnasium, during the winter; in summer a well-fitted athletic field is furnished the young men. Educational

classes in mechanical drawing and book- keeping are maintained during the winter. Religious meetings are held each Sunday for boys, also for men, and a Bible training class for men. Young men, coming strangers to the city, may find a list of good boarding places, and often may be aided in finding employment.

The Association has a very efficient Women's Auxiliary, the first one organized in the world. Its object is to devise ways and means to render the Association more efficient among young men.

The noble building which Mr. Sherman bequeathed to the Y. M. C. A. of our city, stands upon the finest site fronting the grand Public Square, and is a conspicuous and splendid monument to his philanthropy and interest in the exaltation of the lives of young men. In the not distant future the building will no doubt be re-modeled, and made even more imposing than it is at present. Its loca- tion will always render it a commanding centre for the purposes for which it was given, and it will always keep in sweet mem- ory the unselfish benefactor whose appreci- ative heart led to its being dedicated to the objects he had in view. Such high appreci- ation of the claims young men have upon the wealth and culture of the age, is of the highest value, and Mr. Sherman's noble deed will add largely to the moral forces of succeeding ages in our fair city.

We regret to say that we have been unable, after diligent inquiry, to obtain any reliable data relating to the Catholic Church in Watertown, to the Stone Street Presbyterian Church or to the Congregational organization. With these exceptions we have given a fair sy- nopsis of the city's churches and societies. There are some minor organizations outside of the regular order, which we have not al- luded to-but they are mostly short-lived or sporadic, making but slight permanent im- pression upon society.

THE WATERTOWN STREET RAILWAY COMPANY.

Through the courtesy of the gentlemanly superintendent, Mr. H. G. Manning, a Boston man, we are enabled go give the main details of this organization, whose electric cars afford so great a convenience to our people, and add so much to the business appearance of the streets of Watertown.

The date when the franchise was granted by the city, was November 22, 1887; work of construction commenced November 24, 1888; road was opened for traffic, May 20, 1891.

The officers of the first organization were A. D. Remington, President; E. S. Goodale, Secretary and Treasurer; W. A. Cole, Super- intendent. The directors were: John C. Thompson, New York city ; A. D. Reming- ton, S. F. Bagg, E. S. Goodale, E. M. Gates, J. Mullin and G. B. Massey, all of Watertown.

Length of track, main line, Pearl street to city limits, 31g miles.

241

CITY OF WATERTOWN.

Length of sidings, }g mile.

Length of track from city line to Brown- ville, 314 miles.

Length of sidings on Brownville branch, 18 mile.

Total length of track, 612 miles.

The track is laid with 50 pound iron, and the gauge is 4 ft. 812 in.

The schedule time over whole route is 30 minutes, and cars are started every 12 minutes.

The superintendent's office is in Pamelia, nearly opposite the Steam Engine Works. Fare is five cents from the city to end of route at Superintent's office, and five cents from there to Glen Park or Brownville.

The franchise granted this company is a valuable one, and growing more and more so as the city increases in population. It has already secured foothold upon popular favor, and the directors and manager are doing all in their power to make the road most service- able to the people. The capital invested and the bonded debt amount to $208,796.28, as per last return to the Railroad Commissioners of the State. The present officers are as fol- lows: Hon. B. B. Taggart, President; C. A. Starbuck, Vice-President; E. S. Goodale, Secretary and Treasurer; H. G. Manning, General Superintendent. The directors are as follows : Jno. C. Thompson and J. A. Lebkencher, New York city; C. A. Starbuck, E. S. Goodale, S. F. Bagg, Hon. J. Mullin and G. W. Knowlton, Watertown.

It is perhaps just and proper to state that in the fall of 1890, Mr. John C. Thompson, President of the Eames Vacuum Brake Com- pany secured control of the stock and pushed the road to completion, very little having been done up to that time. He became presi- dent of the road in October, 1891, remaining until June, 1894. The present efficient oper- ation of the road is due to his personal efforts, and he voluntarily relinquished the presi- dency, thinking that the president should be a prominent Watertown man, his (Thomp- son's) headquarters being in New York city. He still controls the stock of the company, and to his persistent efforts the people of Watertown owe the road and the beautiful summer park at the Glen.

THE BANKS OF WATERTOWN.

The earliest movement towards the estab- lishment of a bank in Jefferson county, was made in 1807. A petition was sent to the Legislature, praying for a loan to the county of $150,000 on good landed security, in bills of credit to he made a legal tender. This was not granted, upon the ground that the consti- tution of the United States prohibited State governments from making anything but gold and silver coin a legal tender. In 1808, the State loan of $10,339.86 was received by the county, and in 1837 the United States deposit of $130,779.86 for loans to the people.

THE JEFFERSON COUNTY BANK

Was the first banking institution organized in Jefferson county. Its projectors were the pioneers in the business enterprise of this sec-

tion of the State, who were determined to develop its resources, and felt the need of a bank to facilitate exchanges. The bank was incorporated by an act passed April 17, 1816, on a petition from John Brown, Roswel Woodruff, Eliphalet Edmonds, David I. And- rus, Ethel Bronson, Jabez Foster, Egbert TenEyck, Hoel Lawrence, Frederick White, Abel Cole, and others, to continue until Janu- ary 1, 1832, with a capital not exceeding $400,000, in shares of $10 each. Elisha Camp, of Hounsfield, Jesse Hopkins, of Henderson, Ebenezer Wood, of Ellisburg, Jabez Foster, of Watertown, Clark Allen, of Lorraine, Samuel C. Kennedy of Rodman, Ethel Bronson, of Rutland, John Durkee, of Champion, Thomas Brayton, of Wilna, Silvius Hoard, of Antwerp, Musgrove Evans, of LeRay, John Paddock, of Brownville and Eliphalet Edmonds, of Adams, were appoint- ed to apportion the stock and locate the site of the banking house. These met at Water- town, and after a prolonged and exciting strife between Watertown and Brownville, the latter, uniting with other interests, suc- ceeded in getting it located at Adams. The directors, elected June 20, 1817, were John Paddock, Hoel Lawrence, Ebenezer Wood, Clark Allen, David I. Andrus, S. F. Hooker, Elisha Camp, Frederick White, David Hale, Samuel C. Kennedy, John Cowles, Eliphalet Edmonds and Joseph Sterling. The first president was J. Paddock.

The bank went into operation with a paid- up capital of only $50,000, and, such was the scarcity of money, only a fraction was paid into the bank at the time of its opening.

The bank did not succeed at Adams, and, after a temporary suspension, was, in 1824, by an act of the Legislature, removed to Watertown. Each director, by this act, was required to own at least $500 stock. The charter was further amended, April 14, 1830, and the capital was increased to $80,000. May 19, 1836, the capital was increased from $80,000 to $200,000, and commissioners ap- pointed to receive subscriptions in shares of $10 each. In 1837 an ineffectual effort was made to get this act repealed. In 1828 it he- came one of the safety-fund banks, and re- mained such until 1853, when it was reorgan- ized under the general banking laws of the State. In 1865 it became a National Bank, and remains such to the present time.

Through all these years, reaching from 1824 to 1894, this institution has heen promi- nent in affording financial assistance, and its stockholders have received a fair return for their money invested therein. Since 1857, T. H. Camp has occupied the position of president.

THE WATERTOWN NATIONAL BANK

was organized in 1882. It has a capital of $100,000. Surplus and profits, $85,000. George W. Knowlton, Jr., President; Sidney Cooper, Vice-President; N. P. Wardwell, Cashier.

Directors: George W. Knowlton, Jr., J. R. Miller, Albert Bushnell, Harrison Fuller, A.

This is one of the safest banking institu- tions of Watertown, ably managed, with courteous and attentive officers. It possesses the entire confidence of the business com- munity .

THE NATIONAL BANK AND LOAN COMPANY

Was organized as a State Bank by George C. Sherman, January 20, 1849, under the name of the Watertown Bank and Loan Company, with a capital of $100,000. This bank was reorganized August 8, 1865, under the national banking law, with its present name, with a capital of $75,000. In 1853 the bank erected the banking house on the corner of Washington and Stone streets, which it still occupies. This bank has remained in the family of George C. Sherman since its first organization, the sons succeeding to it as a portion of their patrimony.
