Late at the close of a still, sultry day in summer, Mrs. Thornton, the wife of one of the young settlers, gave the alarm that her husband had not returned from the forest, whither he had gone in the afternoon to procure a piece of timber for a particular purpose. Ju- mediately every man in the settlement answered to the call, and hastened to the place designated for meeting to
1
20
concert a plan for search. Here all armed themselves with torches of lighted pine knots or birch bark. and calling every gun in the place into use for firing alarms and signals, started out, in small companies, into the forest in all directions. After a search of several hours, the preconcerted signal-gun announced that " the lost was found." All hurried to the spot ; and upon the ground where now stands the Black River Institute, crushed beneath a tree which he had felled, lay the life- less body of their companion. He was laid upon a bier, hastily prepared for the occasion, and conveyed through the gloom of midnight, by the light of their torches, back to his house. What must have been the emotions of the bereaved young widow, when the mangled corpse of her husband, so suddenly fallen a victim to death, was brought in and laid before her ! She did not, how- ever, mourn alone. As the remains were bourne to their resting-place, -- the first grave that was opened in Trini- ty Church-yard -- it needed no sable emblems of mourn- ing to tell the grief which hung dark around every heart. Each one of the little company, as he returned from performing the last duties to his departed compan- ion, felt as if from his own family one had been taken.
A similar incident occured, a short time after, in the death of a child, which was killed by the falling of a tree, on the present site of the Court House ; thus desig- nating with blood, as one can imagine, the location of the halls of Justice and Science in our village, and con- secrating the ground of each by a human sacrifice.
To any person who realises what a dense howling wilderness, this country was, at the time of its firstoc .. cupation by our fathers, it will not be surprising that there were instances, rather frequent, of persons being lost in the woods. The following, from the pen of Solon Massey, Esq., is one among the many : --
" Capt. James Parker owned and occupied a large body of land (now a farm) on the Brownville road, at present
.
21
occupied in part by his son James. He had a large family of sturdy boys, the oldest of whom, at the time our tradition dates, was fourteen to sixteen years of age. The old gentleman, like many others of our enterprising settlers, was clearing up a large farm, and, for the pur- pose of making the most out of his ashes, had small potash works, where he worked them into potash or black salts ..
In the process of manufacture, it seems he wanted some hemlock gum, and at the same time wanted some groceries from the little place ycleped a store here in the village. So handing the hero of our story a silver dol- lar, he bid him take his axe and a bag and on his way to or from the store to procure some gum. With this errand and equipment he started, after dinner, on his way to this place ; he proceeded as far as the foot of the Folis Hill ( H. H. Coffeen's late residence ), where, stretching away to the south was an abundance of hem- lock timber, and intent on performing the hardest and most difficult part of his task first, and not wishing to risk losing the dollar, he struck his axe into a large tree and loosening a chip he carefully deposited the coin in the cavity between the loosened chip and the body of the tree for safe keeping, intending to come back to that starting point with his axe and bag, and leave them there in their turn, while he run up to the store and back.
Well, after a while he found himself sufficiently pro- vided with gum, and started off at a kind of Indian lope for the place where he had left the dollar, passing in his way a spring of water, upon the surface of which was a thick yellow scum, resembling iron rust. On, on, on he traveled, sweating under his load, and with the lurking suspicion that something was wrong, he didn't know what. After a good while, however, and when he knew he must have traveled more than any distance that could possibly have been between the last gum tree
22
and the one containing his dollar, he made a full halt for the purpose of a reckoning. One thing was very certain-that he had traveled faster coming back than when going, and had been longer about it. That had a bad look ! then he thought it curious there should have been three of those iron ore springs, looking so nearly alike ! And finally, the more he soliloquized the more he satisfied himself that he was lost.
What added not a little to his perplexity was, that twilight was already spreading her mantle upon the forest. It would therefore be necessary for him to select where he would spend the night, so far as there was any choice of a sheltered place in the woods. He was not long in finding a large standing tree that afforded just the nook he wanted, between two roots that stood well out on either side, and having ensconced himself in a sitting posture, with his back against the tree, and the axe between his knees, he prepared to face any danger that might offer, and to sleep away the long hours of night. He would have telegraphed the folks at home that he was safe, if he could. Hle hoped they would not be much alarmed. But they were though, and after sunset the old gentleman got uneasy and started out the way that he should come, just to meet · him-if he was safe-but with a kind of presentiment, to succor him if in trouble. Hle kept on, occasionally stopping to listen, and sweating with apprehension, and imagining a whole catalogue of mishaps that might have befallen him-whether he had lost his way-or had maimed himself with the axe-or a tree had fallen upon him-or, what was certainly possible, some raven- ous wild beast had devoured him-all was a matter of painful doubt, fear, and uncertainty.
It was not, however, until after he had reached the village, and found by enquiry that his boy had not been there, that his fearful forebodings of some horrid evil were confirmed.
23
Giving the alarm here, and begging of the good peo- ple to rally quick and meet such persons as he should succeed in obtaining from Brownville, he hastened home in such a state of mind as can be better imagined than described.
Until his arrival home, the family had not partaken very much of his own alarm, but now, what a sad and sorrowful company are they, as hurriedly they make the necessary preparation, with pine knots and birch bark torches, horns and guns for signals and refresh- ments for the missing boy,if he should be found, and for the kind neighbors who were in all probability to be in the woods all night.
In due time, a large company of men and boys were assembled, and having organized into bands, with pre- concerted signals, they struck off into the forest, while the mother and sisters of the missing boy sat in the open door of their lonely tenement to await the slow and tedious result, and so as to be in a situation to catch the first sound of any signal guns announcing the fate of him they loved.
Thus passed the first half of the night. The hunt proceeded with great fidelity, so that every rod of the ground was inspected, the horns sounding at regular in- tervals of time, so as to preserve the line of march, or to catch the ear of the boy if peradventure he was alive.
The party had proceeded on carefully, until within a few rods of where the hero of the play kept his night vigil, before his dreams were disturbed and he sufficient- ly awake to know that it was for his benefit that the horns were sounded ; but when fairly awake, he was not long in vacating bis quiet retreat, and arresting the further progress of the search, by presenting himself in proprio personer, with his axe on his shoulder and gum bag under his arm, before the satisfied cavalcade.
Bang ! bang ! BANG ! rung out in quick succession
24
upon the night air, reverberating to each extremity of the. long line of weary hunters, the preconcerted signal, which notified the quick ear of the listening mother and sisters that the lost was found. There was more joy manifested that night over the boy that was found than over all them that went not astray."
Watertown has been repeatedly devastated by fires, some of which produced a decided check to its prosperi- ty, while others acted beneficially, by removing rubbish that would, otherwise, have disfigured the village for time indefinite, and from which the place recovered with an elastic energy, characteristic of a progressive age and people. The following catalogue shows the dates and places of the principal fires since 1832 :-
On the 7th of Feb. 1833, a fire occured, which burn- ed the extensive tannery . and oil mill of J. Fairbanks ; the paper-mill and Printing-office of Knowlton & Rice, and a morocco factory and dwelling of Kitts & Carpen- ter, on Mill street ; loss about $30,000.
July 7, 1833, Beebee's Factory was destroyed by fire ; loss $200,000, insured 25,000.
December 22d, 1841, the Black River Woolen Mills, at Factory Square, were burned.
March 21st, 1848, at 3 o'clock A. M., a fire occured in an old stone shop on Mill street, which consumed a large number of buildings, together with the bridge to Beebee's Island. Two men named Leonard Wright and Levi Palmer, perished in the attempt to rescue prop- erty.
May 13, 1S19, a fire occured in the rear of the American Hotel, which consumed over one hundred buildings, comprising most of the business portion of the village, being the most disastrous fire which has ever occured in Jefferson County.
September 21, 1850, a fire occured in a small dwell- ing house on Sterling street, from which the burning shingles were wafted to the steeple of the Universalist
·
25
Church, which was soon consumed ; but, through the prompt exertions of the firemen, the flames were there checked.
January 27, 1851, Perkins Hotel, on the site of the Merchants Exchange, was burned, with a large block on Washington street, adjacent ; loss $25.000.
October 16, 1852, a fire occured on Washington St., near the entrance to the Arcade. which consumed all the blocks between Washington Place and Stone street ; loss $14,000.
November 5, 1852, Mechanic's Row, on River street, near Mill street, "was consumed by fire, which threw from fifty to sixty mechanics out of employment ; loss $20,000; insured between $6,000 and $ 7.000. A young man named Hudson Hadcock perished in the flames, in consequence of the falling of machinery.
July 23, 1853, the Foundry, Machine Shop and Car Factory of Horace W. Woodruff, in North Watertown, near Beebee's Island, was consumed by five, together with all its contents. About seventy men were thrown out of employment by this calamity.
December 11, 1853, a fi e occured which consumed the sash and butter tub factory of Messrs. Farnham and Button, on Beebee's Island, adjoining the South Bridge.
Several fires have occured recently, which would have undoubtedly laid the most of our village in ashes, had it not been for the invaluable Water Works with which it is now mest bountifully supplied, rendering it but the work of a moment to extinguish the ravishing flames.
The systematic business forecast of our citizens has, in almost every instance, provided against these appall. ing calamatirs. In the great fire of May 13, 1819, long before the smoke and flame of the devouring ele- ment had ceased, preparations were making to replace the building ; that had been consumed, by nobler struc- tures. The fund, accruing from insurance enabled the work to be prosecuted with immediate and unabated en-
C
26
ergy, and in most instances without invading the fixed capital of the owners of the property. The blocks of stores, and beautiful residences, built during the past four years, are splendid monuments of the good taste and public spirit of the proprietors. Few places can boast of buildings of the same character, equally ornamental ; arising from the ashes like magical creations, they attest in a striking manner, the native and spontaneous re- sources of our village, and its ability to repair almost any conceivable disaster.
The native resources of Watertown and the surround- ing county are fast becoming available, through the me- dium of various railroads completed, and in the course of construction. The completion of the Watertown and Rome Railroad in 1852, gave to the business of Water- town a new impulse, by opening a speedy communica- tion between this place and the great central thorough- fare to New York; and northward to Cope Vincent and the Canadas.
The completion of the "Sackets Harbor and Saratoga," and " Potsdam and Watertown" Railroads, will open a new era, marked by an increase of existing branches of business, and the creation of new fields of industry and enterprise. Those great works accomplished, and Wa- tertown wil be practically within a few hours of the emporium of New England, while to New York and the Great West we have already easy and speedy access. .
The auguries of the future are bright. It only re- quires that the same industry in the pursuit of business, the same enterprise and forecast, the same liberality and cmenity between our different business interests, which have laid the basis of our present prosperity, be ever ad- hered to, to give assurance of a still more gratifying, as it will be, an enduring success. "Then, as beretefore, our village will rise superior to every calamity and con- tinue to be a growing monument of American business sagacity, energy, enterprise and intelligence.
