The congregation of the First Associate Reformed Church was formed in 1798, and the society was legally incorporated February 7. 1803. The first pastor, Rev. Robert Kerr, was installed April 6. 1799. The first trustees were: Derick Amerman, Hugh Walsh, Daniel Niven, Robert Gourley, Robert Boyd, John Brown, Isaac Belknap, Jr., John Coulter and Robert W. Jones. The ruling elders were John Currie, Samuel Belknap, Hugh Speir and John Shaw.
The First Reformed Presbyterian Church was planted in Newburgh by several families of the Covenanter faith in 1793, who held services in their homes on Sundays, and, with others, organized a Covenanter so- ciety in 1802. This became a branch of the Coldenham congregation, and the connection was continued until 1824, when it separated, and James Clark. Samuel Wright and John Lawson were chosen elders and John Crawford, deacon.
Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church was organized in 1808, when Rev. Samuel Fowler became the first pastor.
St. George's Episcopal Church has been elsewhere referred to, in the carly history of Newburgh. The parish was reincorporated, after a long period of adversity, in 1805, and the minister who more than any one else built it up afterward in the early years of the nineteenth century was Rev. John Brown. He became its regular rector in the fall of 1815.
The African M. E. Church was organized in 1827, by Rev George Matthews.
A Baptist Church was organized in 1821, and after a feeble existence. ending in dissolution in 1828, was formally reorganized in December, 1834.
Of the later churches the organizations were as follows:
American Reformed Church, September 24, 1835 : St. Patrick's Roman

OTHER HELPFUL ORGANIZATIONS.
A Young Men's Christian Association of Newburgh was organized September 17, 1858, and the next week officers were elected. The time of organization was less than six years after the Y. M. C. A. movement started. The association dissolved about 1861, and after the lapse of seven years the present association was organized. It did not have a vigorous existence for several years, and was reorganized in January, 1879. A few months later General Secretary J. T. Browne came to New- burgh and put new life into it, and it has been prosperous and progressive since. Its president, E. S. Tanner, was largely instrumental in raising the money for the new building, first occupied in 1883, and costing $17,000.
At a public meeting held April 24, 1888, after an address by the na- tional secretary, Miss Nettie Dunn, Newburgh's Young Women's Chris- tian Association was organized, and 105 members enrolled. The elected officers were: President, Mrs. Susan McMasters; vice-presidents, Mrs. Isaac Garrison, Miss Mary E. Gouldy and Mrs. Charles S. Jenkins; re- cording secretary, Miss Augusta Lester ; treasurer, Mrs. M. C. Belknap. The association has been prosperous and useful.
St. Luke's Home and Hospital was incorporated in 1876. Its object is to provide for the care and medical treatment of the sick and disabled, and also a home for aged women. It has a training school for nurses. established in 1893. and a medical board of nearly a score of physicians and specialists.

FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS.
1
Newburgh has solid financial institutions. Highland Bank was char- tered April 26, 1834, with a capital of $200,000. In January, 1865, the capital was increased to $350,000, and the following April was reorgan- ized as a National Bank with a capital of $450,000, which was reduced to $300.000 in 1888. The first president was Gilbert O. Fowler.
Quassaick National Bank was organized March 31, 1852, and began business with a capital of $130,000. The first president was E. W. Farrington, and the first cashier Jonathan N. Weed. In June of the year of organization the capital stock was increased to $200,000, and in June of 1853 to $300,000. In 1895 Mr. Weed was chosen president.
The National Bank of Newburgh is the successor of the Bank of New- burgh, incorporated March 22, 1811. The capital of the first bank was $120,000. The first president was Isaac Belknap, Jr., and the first cashier was John S. Hunn. In February, 1820, a branch bank was opened at Ithaca and continued till 1830, when its charter expired. The Bank of Newburgh was then reorganized under the Safety Fund law with a cap- ital of $140,000. In 1851 it was again reorganized under the general banking law with a capital of $200,000, which was increased the next year to $300,000. July 3, 1864, the bank divided its capital and 60 per cent. profits among its stockholders, and closed business, and two days afterward the National Bank of Newburgh more than took its place in the business community, with the large capital of $800,000, the stock of which

was promptly taken. June 3. 1890, the stockholders voted to reduce the capital to $400,000, and the additional $400,000 with 40 per cent. profits was divided among them. The bank has continued to prosper.
The Newburgh Savings Bank was chartered April 13, 1852, and was opened January 1, 1853. Its present building was completed in 1868. and cost $115.527. It has been a helpful institution to the people of Newburgh and vicinity. Its first president was Robert L. Case. Joseph Chadwick is now its president.
The Columbus Trust Company began to do business March 1, 1893, at No. 82 Broadway, with a capital stock of $100,000 divided among 144 shareholders. Semi-annual dividends of 3 per cent. have been regularly paid since 1895. In 190! the directors decided to purchase No. 78 Broad- way for a banking house. The building was remodeled, and April 20. 1902. the company moved to its present quarters. This company has prospered beyond the reasonable expectations of its friends. The statement of De- cember 31. 1893, showed $117.249.17 on deposit, and $20.238.36 strpl.i. and indivi led profits. June 29, 1907, deposits amounted to $2.941.587.13 and surplus and undivided profits to $121.527.20. The total number of accounts is 5.300. The present officers are: Joseph Van Cleft, president : David A. Morrison, first vice-president : Charies R. Bull. second vice- president : Henry M.

Minn., manufacturers of sugar plantation machinery. William Johnston Mckay was chosen president of the association in 1907. This organization is in charge of Newburgh's portion of the Ter-Centenary celebration of the discovery of the Hudson River, and has already arranged for special exercises, September 25, 26 and 27, 1909.
TRANSPORTATION AVENUES.
The transportation facilities of Newburgh are almost unsurpassed.
In front is its fine harbor, bay and river, with steamship lines up and down and across. These lines are a restraint upon the tendencies of the railroads towards high freight rates. The river trade is large and within a few miles of Newburgh are about fifteen village ports which are more or less tributary to it. The local traffic of the Hudson is mostly by lines of steamers, some of which carry both freight and passengers and others only passengers. Sloops and schooners, which long ago did nearly all the carrying trade, still do service.
The Central Hudson Steamboat Company has two night lines of steamers to New York, which carry passengers and freight. Boats of this line leave Newburgh and New York in the evening and afford charming water trips to residents and others. The company also provides the New- burgh, Albany and Troy line, the steamers of which leave Newburgh for the upward trips every morning, except Sundays, and arrive from Albany in the evening. The captains of the boats on the Newburgh and New York lines are Zach Roosa, William Meakim, Weston L. Dennis and E. N. Gage. Those on the Newburgh, Albany & Troy line are Fred L. Simpson and Egbert Van Wagner.
The Newburgh and Fishkill ferry, for which a line of steamers was started in 1835, continues business, its steamers leaving Newburgh about every half hour between 5.45 A. M. and 10.45 P. M. H. Stockbridge Rams- dell is the agent.
Newburgh and Haverstraw Steamboat Company has the steamer Em- eline, Captain D. C. Woolsey, which starts for Haverstraw and inter- mediate landings each mid-afternoon and Haverstraw for Newburgh in the evening.
Newburgh and Poughkeepsie line's steamer Hudson Taylor, Captain George Walker, leaves Newburgh for Poughkeepsie every morning.
373
CITY OF NEWBURGH.
Wappinger's Falls and Newburgh line's steamer Messenger leaves Newburgh forenoons and early evenings.
The West Shore Railroad, which extends north and west to Albany and Buffalo and south to New York, connects at Newburgh with the Eric and the New York and the New England systems, and at Buffalo with the Grand Trunk and the Lake Shore Railroads. Over thirty trains a day arrive and depart on this road. It has facilities for transporting cars across the river.
One Erie Railroad branch extends to a junction with the main line at Greycourt, eighteen miles distant, and affords a direct route to the Penn- sylvania coal fields and across the southern tier of New York counties to the west. Another Erie branch connects with the main line at Newburgh Junction, fifteen miles distant, and passes through a number of Orange County villages. About twenty passenger trains a day arrive and depart over these branches.
The New York Central's Hudson River line of railroad across the river from Newburgh is reached by the ferry, the boats of which make close connection with all through passenger trains.
The Lehigh and Hudson River Railway extends from a junction with the Newburgh branch and the Erie's main line at Greycourt to Belvidere. The Newburgh branch is operated as a part of the system controlled by the Central Railroad of New Jersey.
There is also the line of the Orange County Traction Company. ex- tending to Walden.
Newburgh is the principal gateway for the coal traffic between Penn- sylvania fields and the New England States, which consume six million tons of coal annually. The loaded cars on reaching the river front are quickly ferried across to Fishkill on the transfer boat, and the roads coming to Fishkill distribute them. Much coal is also shipped from New- burgh by water to all parts of the northern country, and to the ports of Long Island and the New England coast.
CEMETERIES.
Newburgh has six cemeteries-the Newburgh, or Old Town. St. George's. St. Patrick's, the Hebrew, and in the suburbs. Woodlawn and Cedar Hill.
374
THE COUNTY OF ORANGE.
The Newburgh has many old headstones, and is in the block where stood the church of the old Palatine settlers.
St. George's is under the care of St. George's Protestant Episcopal Church.
St. Patrick's is for the remains of the Roman Catholic dead and the Hebrew for the Jewish dead.
Woodlawn Cemetery is controlled by the Newburgh Woodlawn Ceme- tery Association, which was incorporated October 22, 1870. It is in the town of New Windsor, a mile from the city, and is reached by a delightful avenue. It is an ideal location for a cemetery, with extended river and mountain views. Quassaick avenue, leading from the city to Woodlawn, . is lined with elegant country residences in the midst of spacious grounds studded with fine trees and beautified in the warm season with wide lawns and varieties of beautiful flowers. The cemetery grounds contain fifty acres, laid out with excellent artistic taste and skill, and carefully looked after and kept in order by the superintendent, Macleod Rogers, who has occupied the position from the beginning. Some of its features are a row of fine cedars along the northern boundary, a dense grove on the western side, scattered ancient oaks, also maples, pines, elms and other kinds of trees, varieties of shrubs and flowers, and a natural stream. There are several imposing monuments and many fine designs in sculptured marble and granite.
Cedar Hill Cemetery is about five miles north of the center of the city, and contains 100 acres in the midst of a picturesque landscape. It has about three miles of driveways through its park-like grounds, there is a stream of spring water which supplies a little lake of two and one-half acres, and there are many handsome monuments. The Cedar Hill Ceme- tery Association was organized in 1870.
THE CIVIL WAR.
Regarding enlistments from Newburgh and the money raised for the Civil War, the recapitulation in Ruttenber and Clark's History is here quoted :
"I. Company B. 3d Regiment, recruited in March and April, 1861. 2. Company B, 36th Regiment, recruited in May and June, 1861. 3. Com- pany I, 7Ist Regiment Militia, recruited principally from Company I.

CITY OF NEWBURGH.
19th Regiment. 4. Companies A and B. and parts of C, D and G. 56th Regiment, recruited between July and October. 1861. 5. Seventh Inde- pendent Battery, in part, recruited with 50th Regiment. 6. Companies D. E. F. I and L, 19th Regiment Militia ; miscellaneous enlistments prior to July, 1862, 111. Under the calls of July and August, 1862, 470 men were required from the town, and 501 furnished. 217 of whom were en- rolled in the 124th, and 166 in the 168th Regiments. The call of July, 1863. required 443 men, of whom ninety were furnished ; but it was merged in the calls of October, 1863, and of February. March and July. 1864, re- quiring 756 : number furnished. 827, of whom seventy-one were not cred- ited. The total of enlistments, including re-enlistments, was 2,250 ; the total of men required. 1.226. The public subscriptions and loans of the town. including at that time the village, for the promotion of enlistments and for bounties were : 1861. by individual subscriptions, $7.385, bonds of the vil- lage. $5,000: 1862, individual subscriptions. $17512: 1864 town bon s. $175,100 : total. $204.997. In addition to this sum the town expended for special relief-1863-1864-$1.075.50 : expended by aid society, and in contributions to the Christian Commission, $12.387.31 ; raising the total to $218,459.81, and the further sum of $321.320 ( partly estimated ) for special income and internal revenue taxes to January 1. 1865-a grand total of $539.779.81."
POST-OFFICE.
The Newburgh post-office was the first to be established in this part of the State, and passed the centennial of its organization in December, 1895. Prior to that date letters and other articles which now go by mail were carried by post riders, who delivered and deposited letters at ap- pointed stations. The first post-carrier station in this district is supposed to have been what was known as "the glass house" in the ancient village of New Windsor, where letters were addressed as early as 1755. One of the carly stations was the tavern of Michael Wiegand on present Liberty street, and the regular accounting post-office of 1895 was its successor. At that time, we are told. the Newburgh office included in its deliveries Marlborough. Montgomery, Plattekill. New Windsor and other nearby settlements, and received mails by carriers on the established post roads. the main trunk lines being the old King's Highway. now Liberty street, the
376
THE COUNTY OF ORANGE.
old road from Kingston to Goshen, running through Montgomery, from which a cross mail was carried through Coldenham to Newburgh, and there was a main cross mail running east through Fishkill into New Eng- land and to Boston, which intersected a cross line on the east side of the river extending from New York to Albany.
The Newburgh post-office had various locations in town until 1897, when it was moved into its permanent home in the new Government building, then just completed. The equipment here was modern and com- plete and the space sufficient, but the rapid growth of the city's industrial business and other changing conditions have been such that the building is already too small for the increased and increasing post-office business. Note the changes in five years. On March 1, 1900, there were connected with the office eight clerks, thirteen letter carriers and one substitute car- rier, and in 1905 there were thirteen clerks, two substitute clerks, sixteen carriers, four substitute carriers, and four rural delivery carriers. The receipts of the office for the year ending March 31, 1901, were $52,263.12, and for the year ending March 31, 1906, they were $73,232.79, an in- crease of $20,969.37. or 40.12 per cent.
