The New Paltz Government was the most simple on earth. All there was to it, was for the heads of the families to get together and make regulations and decisions. These do not seem to have been numerous or important, as there are no records of them left. There are reasons for sup- posing that originally the lands were worked in common, then for a time in severalty, by selection and agreement, and later by a division.
What are known as the Huguenot Papers, which were preserved for a century or more in the Huguenot Bank, and since removed to the Town Clerk's office, give much information along these lines. Among these is a document called "New Paltz Orders," which are recorded by W. Not- tingham, Clerk. The orders pertain to the building of line fences, char- acter of fences, times when animals may run free, and when they must be enclosed, fines for violations, and many other matters. The meeting at which these orders were made was held February 23, 1712.
In 1728 the "Dusine" or "Twelve Men" was organized. These were

to be chosen annually, and they exercised absolute legislative, judicial and executive powers. Twice during the existence of the "Twelve Men" there were divisions of property, made necessary by the increase in popu- lation, but there is no record of an appeal from their decision to the Colonial Courts. This organization continued until after the War of the Revolution, an act incorporating New Paltz being passed in 1785.
The document establishing the "Twelve Men" is among the papers preserved, and it bears the signature of the twenty-four owners of prop- erty within the Paltz patent, with the recording acknowledgment of Ulster County, signed by D. Wynkoop, Jr., who was apparently County Clerk or Recorder at the time.
Town officers were elected by popular vote at town meeting.
Among the papers are the names of those who signed an agreement of similar import on May 23, 1744. The names indicate that they are members of the same families as the freeholders of 1728, but some of them were evidently a younger generation who had come of age and inherited property. The agreement was a pact to mutually contribute whatever money might be necessary to protect the patent, according to his or her share in the whole. This was to continue for fifteen years.
The agreement of April 30, 1774, bears signatures and seals of the following persons with their shares in the patent duly agreed to :-

TOWN OF NEW PALTZ.
There have been several changes in the boundaries of the town. The tract was enlarged in 1775. A part of Hurley was annexed in 1809. In 1842 Esopus took a part of New Paltz; in 1844 Rosendale got a portion ; the new town of Lloyd was taken wholly out in 1845, and Gardiner got a slice in 1853.
The "Dusine" or "Twelve Men" who were in office at the time the town was incorporated under the State government in 1785, consisted of the following persons :
Simon Dubois
Johannes Freer Abraham Donaldson Petrus Hasbrouck Benjamin Deyo Matthew Lefever
Jacobus Hasbrouck Jacobus Hasbrouck, Jr. Abraham Eltinge Samuel Bevier

The French church at New Paltz, when originally organized, and while under the pastorate of Revs. Daillie and Bourepos, had no connection with any classis, or other ecclesiastical body. After the departure of the last- named gentleman, several years elapsed without the services of a regular clergyman, and many of the marriages and baptisms are recorded as hav- ing taken place in Kingston. One authority alleges that there was no settled minister until 1730, at which time the Dutch was the prevailing language. In the meantime the factional split had occurred and the new church was built in 1720.
The consistory of New Paltz united with those of Rochester, Marble- town and Shawangunk in 1741, and called Rev. Casparus Fryenmoet as their pastor. He was to receive one hundred pounds per year, of which New Paltz and Shawangunk together paid 31 pounds.
Rev. Johannes Mauritius Goetschius assumed the pastorate of the churches of New Paltz and Shawangunk in 1760. Each congregation was to pay him 40 pounds in gold, the Shawangunk church, with farm and buildings, and New Paltz to lodge himself and horse while there.
A new stone church was erected in 1773. This was replaced in 1839 by another, which after several enlargements still stands.
The union between the New Paltz church and the Reformed Dutch church was made in 1772. The use of the English language in the ser- vices and records began in 1799, when Rev. John H. Meyer became pastor. Previous to this time Rev. J. H. Goetschius, a nephew of Rev. Johannes Maurilius Goetschius officiated from 1775 to 1796. After Mr. Meyer's
316

departure in 1803, the church was without a pastor until 1807. From that time they were as follows :
Rev. Peter D. Froeligh, 1807 to 1816.
Rev. William R. Bogardus, 1817 to 1831.
Rev. Douw Van O'Luida, 1832 to 1844.
Rev. John C. Vandervoort, 1844 to 1847.
Rev. Charles H. Still, 1848 to 1865.
Rev. Peter Peltz, 1865 to 1881.
Rev. Ame Vennema, February 17, 1882, to February 13, 1886.
Rev. Abel H. Huizina, P. H. D., April 12, 1886, to July 6, 1894.
Rev. Abel H. Huizina, Ph.D., April 12, 1886, to July 6, 1894.
Rev. John G. Fagg, November 3, 1894, to December 9, 1895.
Rev. E. C. Oggel, D.D., the present pastor, was called February 3, 1896.
and installed by the Classes of Kingston, April 8, 1896. Doctor Oggel is a man of ability and energy and highly esteemed by his people.
The Methodist Episcopal Church was organized over the territory of this region as an adjunct to the Philadelphia Conference in 1786. Ser- vices were held at the houses of Hendrick Deyo and Henry DuBois, in New Paltz. In 1804 the New York Conference annexed the Albany dis- trict, in which Ulster County was located, and the name of the New Paltz charge was given this circuit in 1824. The Church in New Paltz was built in 1840. That at Plattekill had been erected in 1825 and 1826. The Church at Centerville was dedicated in 1852, at Cold Spring in 1861.
About the year 1894 the St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church was erected at New Paltz, the same having been completed during the pas- torate of Rev. John B. McGrath, who was an able man and energetic worker, and he succeeded in canceling the church debt. He was suc- ceeded by Rev. John J. Morris, who took charge of the parish comprising the churches of Gardiner and New Paltz, on July Ist, 1899. Important repairs were made to the church building in the summer of 1900, and other repairs have since been made. The church edifice is a neat and sub- stantial building located in the southern portion of the village. The present pastor is Rev. Wm. J. Stuart, who was appointed April II, 1905. The parish is at present in a prosperous condition, and the pastor is zealous in all that tends to the material and spiritual welfare of the people.
New Paltz took its proper place in the War of the Revolution, as one of the leading communities of Ulster County. Most of those who fought during that war were members of the Fourth Regiment, otherwise known as the Hardenberghs, and a considerable number of the officers were New Paltz men. Their names will be found in another portion of this work as

will also the names of the subscribers to the Articles of Association of 1775.
During the war one of the most difficult duties of the people of New Paltz was guarding the frontier against the Tories and Indians. Many of the savages, led by the Tories, committed fearful outrages, murder and arson among them. One whole family was slaughtered. By extraordinary care a considerable number of Tories were captured while trying to reach the English lines, and several of them were subsequently executed at Kingston.
At the beginning of the nineteenth century there were about eighty slaves belonging to the families of New Paltz. They were manumitted gradually.
In the Civil War, the town of New Paltz was well represented, about one hundred men enlisting in the Union Army and nearly half that num- ber in the Navy. Most of those in the Army served in the 156th Regiment, though there were a large number in other organizations. On a monu- ment in the New Paltz Cemetery are the names of those who laid down their lives for their country as follows:

NEW PALTZ VILLAGE.
This is located on the east bank of the Wallkill near the center of the town. It is the largest and most important village in the town, and is one of the most interesting points in the county. It contains four churches : The Reformed Protestant, Methodist Episcopal, St. Joseph's Roman Catholic and African Methodist. There are two newspapers : The New Paltz Times and The New Paltz Independent. The Huguenot

National Bank, a flourishing and successful institution, is situated on Main street, at its junction with Plattekill avenue. The New Paltz Savings Bank has a large deposit, and is located in the lower part of the village on Main street.
There are five hotels: The Tamney House, Brodhead House, Steen's Hotel, The Riverside Cottage and The Schoonmaker House; also a number of large and substantial store buildings, many of brick, in which are conducted progressive and up-to-date business with the large sur- rounding country.
The village is furnished with a supply of mountain water by the New Paltz Water Works Company, which was organized in the year 1892, and is well lighted by the Electric Light Company of New Paltz.
The village was incorporated in December, 1887, and the first president was Jacob M. Hasbrouck.
The board of trustees at present has the following members:
Jacob M. Hasbrouck, President.
Lewis H. Woolsey.
John C. Kaiser.
Elting Harp.
Henry Hasbrouck.
John Schmid has been the village clerk since its incorporation.
BANKS.
The Huguenot National Bank was organized February 10th, 1853, with a capital of $125,000. The first board of directors consisted of Edmund Elting, Abram P. LeFevre, Mathusalem Elting, John Howell, Garret Le- Fevre, Jacob G. DuBois, Roelif Elting, Alfred Deyo, Oscar Hasbrouck, Timothy Seymour, Capt. Abram Elting, Moses P. LeFevre, Abram V. N. Elting. Edmund Elting was the first president, A. G. Ruggles, the first cashier. During the financial crisis of 1857 the bank passed into the hands of a receiver. It was later reorganized and Roelif Elting was elected president ; Nathan LeFevre cashier, and Edmund Elting, assistant cashier. In 1875 an entire new organization took place; Hon. Jacob LeFevre was chosen president, and Mathusalem DuBois cashier. The change from a State to a National bank was effected in 1865. In 1875 the capital was reduced to $100,000.
The New Paltz Savings Bank was organized in May, 1871, in accord-
319

ance with an act of the Legislature passed in March of that year. The original trustees were Jacob LeFevre, Daniel L. Heaton, Zachariah Bruyn, Thaddeus Hait, Edmund Bruyn, Derrick W. DuBois, Elijah Woolsey, Oscar Hasbrouck, Peter LeFevre, Solomon Deyo, Calvin T. Hazen, Huram Hasbrouck, Jesse Lyons, Floyd S. Mckinstry, Nathan Williams, Abner Hasbrouck, Charles W. Deyo, John B. Deyo, Edmund Elting and Jonathan Deyo.
NEW PALTZ FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The fire department here is considered not only the best for a village of this size, but takes its place on inspection day with many long estab- lished city companies of high standing. The first fire department of New Paltz consisted of Huguenot Fire Engine No. I, organized September 16, 1861. This company was equipped with a hand engine, purchased at Poughkeepsie. After the disbanding of this company the village was without fire protection until July, 1889, when Ulster Hook and Ladder Company No. I was organized. This company served as a bucket company until the completion of the waterworks system in New Paltz, in 1892, when the Star Hose Company was also organized. These com- panies are both in a flourishing condition at this time. Ulster Hook and Ladder now has about sixty-five members and Star Hose Company about forty-five. William Bleeker is the Fire Chief.
ELTINGE POST NUMBER 212, Department of N. Y. G. A. R., was char- tered December 14th, 1883, with the following veterans of the Union Army in the Civil War as charter members: Charles J. Ackert, Charles H. Bleeker, Alexander Ferguson, Joseph Uhrviller, Charles Smith, John I. Rosencrans, George W. Van Voorhis, John W. Ackert, Zachariah Berryan, Stephen J. Yeaple, Samuel D. W. Morey, Benjamin F. DuBois, Thomas Johnson, Jacob Wynkoop. All are still living except Charles J. Ackert and Samuel D. W. Morey. Charles J. Ackert was the first com- mander of the Post. Since his death William H. D. Blake has been the commander. Since its organization there have been ninety-four honorably discharged soldiers and sailors mustered in as members. At the last semi-annual muster there were thirty-eight members in good standing.
There is in this village, Mohonk Lodge No. 565, Independent Order of - Odd Fellows, which was instituted a number of years ago. The present
320

Noble Grand is Irving D. Sutton. The lodge is in a flourishing and pros- perous condition. There is also the Wallkill Lodge Knights of Pythias, and the organization has erected a handsome building on Chestnut street on the second floor of which are their lodge rooms. The present C. C. is Luther Hasbrouck.
BURIAL PLACES. 1
The old burial place in the village, nearly opposite the Memorial House, is in good condition. The remains of many of the old settlers, were here interred. The oldest stone records the death, on October 7th, 1831, of Abram DuBois, the last "survivor of the twelve patentees." And there are a number of other old inscriptions, among which are the fol- lowing :
"In memory of Roelif Elting, who died the 21st Feb'y, 1792, aged 59 years, 6 months & 9 days."
"Here Lyeth the Body of Joseph Hasbrouck, Esqr, aged 40 years, 3 months and 18 days. Died January 28th, 1792."
"Here Lies Interred the Body of Elsie Hasbrouck, Widow of Joseph Hasbrouck, Esgr. Dec'd ye 27 Day of July, 1764, Aged 73 Years, 8 Months And 3 Days."
"In memory of Noah Elting, Esqr, who departed this Life Sept. 27th, 1778, aged 57 years, and Jacomintje, his spouse, who departed this Life August 27th, 1790, aged 75."
The New Paltz Rural Cemetery was incorporated February 18th, 1861. The grounds are located about a mile south of the village, and comprise about twenty acres. It contains many substantial and handsome monu- ments, including one of Quincy granite, erected to the memory of the soldiers who died battling for the Union. It is inscribed with the names of the patriotic dead from this town who gave their lives, that government "of the people, for the people and by the people should not perish from the earth."
PROMINENT MEN OF THE TOWN.
The town has been the residence of many men of ability and reputation. A large number of these have preferred the quiet life of private citizens, and have made their homes in this historic spot and passed their days in the pursuit of agricultural, mercantile or other vocations, content in the respect and esteem of their immediate neighbors, and the devotion and love of the home circle. There are some, however, who have attained positions of trust and responsibility in the public service and many have achieved eminence.
321
TOWN OF NEW PALTZ.
Among these was the Hon. Jacob LeFevre, who was born in the town of New Paltz, and resided here until his decease in 1905. Mr. LeFevre was born in April, 1830, and lived here during his whole life, except when occupying official positions at the State or National capital. His home was on the farm of his ancestors, and came to him in direct line of descent from Jean, son of Simon LeFevre, the patentee. He was a public spirited man and of remarkable energy and activity, always willing to give not only of his time but means to assist any worthy project in which he became interested. He was Supervisor of the town in 1861-62, member of the Assembly in 1863-64-65-67, delegate to the national con- vention in 1888, and representative in Congress 1892-96. He was one of the directors of the Wallkill Valley Railroad Company during its con-
struction. He was for thirty years president of The Huguenot National Bank, and also a director of the Hanover National Bank, New York City; vice-president of the New Paltz Savings Bank ; vice-president and director of the Dutchess Insurance Company; a director of the New Paltz Huguenot Memorial Society; member of the Holland Society; member of the local board of the New Paltz Normal School; Trustee of the New Paltz Academy ; member Mohonk Lodge 565 I. O. O. F., New Paltz, N. Y .; member of K. of P., Wallkill Lodge 162, New Paltz, N. Y .; member of Ardonia Lodge No. 718 F. A. M., Highland, N. Y .; member of the Masonic organization, and affiliated with Kingston Lodge, No. 10. Mr. LeFevre married Ann Amelia Woolsey, daughter of Elijah Woolsey, who survives him, together with four children, George LeFevre, Frank J. LeFevre, Albert LeFevre, and Mrs. Catharine Poucher, wife of J. W. Poucher, M. D., of Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
One of the most respected and honored citizens of Ulster County is Hon. Frank J. LeFevre. He was born in the town of New Paltz in 1874, and has always retained this as his place of residence. His ancestors resided in this town since its settlement by the Huguenots in 1668. For a time he engaged in the banking business in New Paltz, and in 1902 he was elected to the State Senate from the twenty-fifth senatorial district, consisting of the counties of Ulster and Greene. He was superintendent of the New York State Building at St. Louis during the Louisiana Pur- chase Exposition. While there he was nominated for Congress from the twenty-fourth district, comprising the counties of Delaware, Otsego, Schoharie and Ulster, and was elected to the Fifty-ninth Congress with

little opposition. Mr. LeFevre succeeded his father, Hon. Jacob LeFevre, as president of The Huguenot National Bank, and has since occupied that position. He is also a director of the Poughkeepsie Trust Company ; a director of the Dutchess Fire Insurance Company, and a trustee of the Old Senate House of Kingston, N. Y.
Hon. John N. Vanderlyn has been a resident of the town of New Paltz and practicing attorney there for the past thirty years, and during that time has won the respect and esteem not only of his own townsmen but of many people throughout the county with whom he has been brought in contact in the performance of professional or official duties. He is a native of Orange County, and first read law in the office of that veteran of the bar, Hon. J. M. Wilkin. After one year of preparatory study, Mr. Vanderlyn attended the Albany Law School, from which so many eminent practitioners have graduated.
After graduation from this school he entered the law office of Newkirk & Chase, of Hudson, N. Y., Judge Newkirk, the senior member of this firm, being an uncle of Mr. Vanderlyn. After several years' practice at Hudson he removed to New Paltz, and has since made this his home. On January 31, 1878, Mr. Vanderlyn married Miss Magdalena L. Hasbrouck, of New Paltz, N. Y., a daughter of Joseph Hasbrouck and Sarah (Le- Fevre) Hasbrouck. They had one child, Joseph H. Vanderlyn, now a practicing attorney at New Paltz. In 1886 Mr. Vanderlyn was elected District Attorney of Ulster County by a large majority, succeeding Hon. A. T. Clearwater in that position. He was again elected in November, 1889, and completed the full term of six years as prosecuting officer of the county. During his incumbency of the office many important criminal cases were tried, and Mr. Vanderlyn established the reputation of an efficient and capable official.
It was during his second term that the defaulting treasurer and assist- ant treasurer of the Ulster County Savings Institution were indicted and tried for having appropriated about $600,000 of the depositor's money ; and the diligence, vigor and ability shown in this trial reflected credit upon the prosecuting officer ; both of the defaulters being convicted and imprisoned at Dannemora State Prison.
In 1897 Mr. Vanderlyn's name was brought before the Republican County Convention for County Judge, but he failed to secure the nomina- tion. During his many years of practice he has been engaged in many

cases of importance and has a large clientage in the southern portion of the county. He has a reputation for ability and integrity.
Beside New Paltz, a number of smaller villages and hamlets are located in the town, perhaps the most important of these is
OHIOVILLE .- Situated along the direct line of the trolley road from New Paltz to Highland, about two miles from the former. It is a beauti- ful little place, having a good hotel, a general store and post-office kept by J. E. Vanderlyn ; blacksmith shop, and a number of fine summer cot- tages. Having good connections with both New Paltz and Poughkeepsie, it makes almost an ideal summer home.
PUT CORNERS is a hamlet about a mile or so east of New Paltz, along the trolley line, and was named in honor of Napoleon Purdy, who came from Putnam County, N. Y., and located there.
SPRINGTOWN is a growing summer resort located in the northwestern part of the town, between the Wallkill River and the Shawangunk Moun- tains, along the line of the Wallkill Valley Railroad. A large number of city people pass the summer months at this place.
BUTTERVILLE .- About two miles west of New Paltz, is near the base of the mountain and in the midst of a prosperous farming country.

CHAPTER XXV.
TOWN OF OLIVE. By DEWITT C. DAVIS.
T HE town of Olive was formed from Marbletown, Shandaken and Hurley, April 15, 1823. A part was annexed to Woodstock and a part of Woodstock annexed to Olive in 1853.
Olive is situated near the center of the county, with the Catskill Moun- tains rising on the northern and northwestern borders, and the Esopus, the principal stream in the town, flowing southeastward a little north of the center. The smaller streams, tributary to the Esopus, flow southeast- erly and southwesterly.
The first on the west is a small stream flowing through Tongore, near the late residence of Gordon C. Davis, northerly into Tongore brook. Tongore brook rises in Kromville and flows easterly through the farms of Walter North, Ward Cornish, Willis Davis and others, and empties into the Esopus just above Winchell's Falls. On this stream were formerly two saw-mills, one built in an early day which later was owned and operated by William H. Krom, of Kromville; the other was on the premises of Ward Cornish. Both are gone.
The next stream rises in the Deer Park and flows through the farm of Jacob and Henry Winchell, which was once owned by Aaron Winchell and his father. Another stream rises in the vicinity of Little Point, unites with the former, and flows easterly to the Esopus, just above Bishop's Falls. On this stream Henry Winchell, grandfather of the present owners had a saw and grist-mill, and on the other branch was a saw-mill owned by Josiah Turner. Lower down the stream was a large tannery, once operated by James R. Goodwin, then by Gideon M. Sprague, and after- ward by Lewis Hollister. Nothing but the foundations can now be seen of any of these. The name of the stream is Clay Kyle Fountain Kill. The next stream is small, running through Olive city and discharging into the Esopus near the old Turner place, now owned by Willis Barton.
