The first graded school was taught by David Moore. However, there were a number of seminaries conducted at different periods,-one by Professor Wilkinson in 1837 or 1838 on the top of Seminary Hill and in the building now occupied as the home of Prof. W. R. Butcher. The other was conducted by Professor Brooks in 1836 in the historic old building now the residence of John Troll.

Since the above was written, the old build- ing has been removed and concealed among the rafters was found an old catalogue of the semi- nary, printed in 1837, containing the following announcements, viz .-

Mr. Brooks also conducted a school for young men on the hill west of town. It was called the St. Clairsville Institute and Teach- ers' Seminary. The teachers were Franklin 11. Brooks, superintendent, and Alvah G. Dun- ning, A. B., assistant teacher. It had no connection with the female seminary. The following is the list of students for 1837 :

Thomas M. Alexander, Samuel Askew, Samuel F. Armstrong, Henry A. Booker, Sam- uel F. Booker, Samuel Caldwell, Foster W. Carroll, Robert W. Carroll, D. D., Tompkins Cowen, Thomas Cummings, Rankin Dilworth, Francis G. Eaton, Thomas Faris, William A. Ferrel, David Gleaves, William Hutchison, Boyd M. Kerr, Wilson Kennon, Jobes Lake, Horatio McCune, Edwin G. Morgan, James Elrick, Joseph N. Milner, Henry Mulvaney, Alonzo P. Miller, William McCartney, David Neiswanger, Simeon Pickering, Miller Pen- nington, Isaac Patterson, Theodore Parish, William V. Sutton, John Smith, Mahlon W. Smith, Lebeus A. Shaw, W. R. Shannon, Christopher Thomas, Terrell Thomas, Jere- miah Tingley, Joseph P. Wood, Yarnal Wil- son, David Welsh and Peter Woodmansee.

It was announced that the young men would study and sleep in the rooms in the school building, four students in a room, and would take their meals at the dining room in the vil- lage. Students were required to furnish their own rooms. They were also to strictly observe the following rules :

Ist. "To rise every morning before 6 o'clock.

2nd. Alternately to make his bed and sweep his chamber before breakfast.

3rd. To apply himself diligently to study and to make no communications, by whisper- ing or otherwise, during study hours.

The necessary expenses to the young men were as follows :

Boarding per quarter, eleven weeks. . . . $14.00

Room rent per week. .0614

Washing, per dozen. .371/2

Tuition $5 to $6

These were familiar names in the shire town a half century ago, but the majority of them have passed away.

In the prospectus the managers of the Insti- tute say, "As a rigid adherence to study and a neglect of physical labor would greatly en- danger health, we have determined next spring to open a manual labor establishment in con- nection with the Institute."

THE CHURCHES.

The Protestant Episcopal Church .- Dr. Dod- dridge, the great Episcopalian divine and au- thor, whose notes have long been recognized as authority on all matters pertaining to pioneer history in West Virginia and Eastern Ohio, extended his missionary operations into East- ern Ohio in 1800 and established congregations at St. Clairsville, Morristown and Zanesville.

St. Thomas' Church in St. Clairsville was brought into existence in 1813 by the removal of some of Dr. Doddrige's former parishioners to that place and the parish was represented in the first convention of the Diocese of Ohio by John Carter. In 1822 a church was built opposite the Methodist Church and for some years was in a flourishing condition, but the congregation becoming scattered the church was abandoned and the ground was sold in 1862.

The Society of Friends .- Before this relig- ious society had erected a church, they met at private residences, notably the home of Will- iam Mosely, where preaching services were conducted by a lady named Mitchell, but as

the membership increased in numbers a brick meeting house was built in 1809-10 on a half acre of ground on the North Commons, where it intersect's the Cadiz Pike.

This old building was removed in 1875, since which time the organization has been extinct. Included in this lot was an old time Friends' Cemetery. There was also another Friends' Meeting House of the opposite persuasion in the little house near the present home of Dr. llewitson.

The Methodist Episcopal Church .- In the Methodist Episcopal Church, Ohio circuits were formed as early as 1787, and in 1793 the circuit riders, who visited Washington, Penn- sylvania, with regularity, also visited the Methodist homes west of Wheeling in Bel- mont County, Ohio, and conducted class meet- ings and prayer meetings at and near Kirk- wood (Salem), Scott's and Newellstown (St. Clairsville). The first circuit riders mentioned were Jesse Stoneman and Thomas Hammond, who served on the Ohio circuit in 1799, Mr. Hammond dying while thus employed, when but 35 years of age. In 1809, St. Clairsville was connected with the West Wheeling cir- enit, with Jacob Young as pastor; and that year the Methodist Episcopal Cemetery was purchased, and a large frame Methodist Epis- copal Church was built, with a gallery in the rear, facing the pulpit. The trustees, who su- pervised the work, were Vachel Hall, Henry Mozier, Henry Johnson, Robert Dent and Jo- seph Hedges.

In 1813, and for several years previous, there were such noted local preachers at this appointment as Jesse Parks and Jacob Meyers ; and the preacher in charge was the famous James B. Findley, who was untiring in his efforts in building up the new civilization.

Ten years later St. Clairsville was connected with the Barnesville circuit, with Cornelius Springer and Bennett Dowler as preachers. In 1824 the Pittsburg Conference was organized, and St. Clairsville was inchided in that confer- ence for a half of a century. Among the ap- pointments on the circuit were: St. Clairsville, Mount Pleasant, Harrisville, Cadiz, Liston's,

Kinsey's and Scott's. In 1827 the preachers were John Walker and John McMahon, with James Roberts, W. B. Evans, Edward Mercer and David Mercer, local preachers, and among the members of the quarterly conference we find the names of Matthew Thoburn, Matthew Simpson (each the father of a celebrated bish- op in the church), Ebenezer Liston, John Warfield, George Brown, Philip Darby and R. E. Carothers.

Some of the noted men who have served these people as presiding elders, we might men- tion William Lambdin, Wesley Browning, Samuel R. Brockunier, Robert Hopkins, Sil- vester Burt, Joseph M. Carr, Dr. Paine, James R. Mills, D. L. Osborne and James M. Slutz. In 1834 St. Clairsville was set apart as a sep- arate congregation at the conference held in the Pipe Creek Church, and Rev. Francis Dighton was appointed pastor. Four years later he died, and was buried in the old Meth- odist Episcopal Cemetery.

It was in 1834 that the second church was built. This structure was a substantial brick, erected under the supervision of Matthew Tho- burn, Peter Hulse, Michael Carroll, James Ar- rick, R. E. Carothers, Eli Wells, Robinson Baker, William Wilkins and George Shipman.

Thirty-eight years later, the present brick church was built at a cost of $11,500. The work was inaugurated during the ministry of Rev. Mr. Grant in 1870, and completed during the administration of Rev. Mr. Lauck, in 1872. Five years later, and during the ministry of Rev. B. F. Beazelle, a neat parsonage was pur- chased from Hon. Lorenzo Danford at a cost of $1,800.

The church officials during this period of im- provement were: Stewards,-George Brown, 11. C. Welday, Joseph Young, Joseph Close, John Close, Thomas Fawcett, W. W. Mc- Monies and A. T. McKelvey; trustees,-W. A. Hunt, W. J. Thompson, Benjamin Bark- hurst, Amos Fawcett, Robert Pogue, Israel Lewis, Cephas Carroll, F. D. Bailey and A. H. Mitchell. It will not be an invidions distinc- tion to say that because of the labors and lib- erality of Il. C. Welday and George Brown

were the improvements above mentioned large- ly accomplished.

Several memorable revivals have taken place in the history of the church that profoundly stirred the whole community ; one was conduct- ed by Rev. Mr. Smith in 1835, resulting in over 100 accessions. Thirty years later, a great revival was conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. C. Taylor, assisted by Rev. Dr. James Tho- burn, who was upon a vacation from India, and Rev. Mr. Marshall, of Bellaire. Again over 100 accessions were received. In 1879-80 Rev. Mr. Conkle conducted a series of meet- ings that resulted in 136 accessions to the church. A few years later, another great awakening took place during the ministry of Rev. Dr. Haskell, that resulted in upwards of 50 accessions to the church.

The pastors that have served this people since 1823 are : William Lambdin and William Knox; 1824, John Chandler; 1825, Simon Lock, 1826, Daniel Limerick and James Moore; 1827, Samuel Brockunier and Thomas M. Hudson; 1829, Thomas Taylor ; 1830, Wil- liam Knox and Thomas Drummond; 1831, P. M. McGowan and James Mills; 1832, James Kent ; 1833, David Merryman and W. C.

people, three are buried in the old Methodist Episcopal Cemetery; viz .: Francis Dighton, David C. Merryman and J. C. Taylor. The present official board consists of R. P. Rose, J. W. Hollingsworth, A. T. McKelvey, W. F. Smith, E. L. McMillan, Mrs. Ollie Lowe, Prof. W. R. Butcher, Mrs. C. L. Weems, Mrs. A. H. Mitchell, Mrs. Ellis Wilson, W. S. Mitchell, Z. Fawcett, John Wilson, Dr. Greitzner, E. E. Shepherd, W. W. Cowen, W. J. Thompson, F. D. Bailey and J. M. Aultman. The Sunday- school superintendent is A. T. McKelvey. The present membership is about 300.

The Presbyterian Church of St. Clairsville was originally known as "the Congregation of Richland," its organization being effected in the fall of 1798 through the influence and zeal of that good and great nfan, Rev. John McMillan, D. D., once pastor of the old Char- tiers or Hill Church, near Canonsburg, Penn- sylvania, for over half a century and founder of the school which afterward became the nu- cleus of Jefferson College. He died Novem- ber 16, 1833, in the 82nd year of his age and the Goth of his ministry in the Presbyterian Church, and the thousands of enlightened and Christian homes in Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio are today our grandest monu- ment to his devoted memory.

On the 17th of October, 1798, what was then known as the Presbytery of Ohio licensed and ordained Joseph Anderson to the work of the Gospel ministry, and committed to his care the scattered congregations of Scotch-Irish people, who were at that time pouring into Eastern Ohio. As a result of his labors in this district, Rev. Mr. Anderson was presented with a joint call by the congregations of Richland and Short Creek, now Mount Pleasant, in the fall of 1799. The call was brought before the Presbytery of Ohio on the 15th of April, 1800; and, having signified his acceptance of the call, Mr. Anderson was installed pastor of the said congregations August 20, 1800. This is the first recorded ordination of a Presbyterian minister west of the Ohio River.

In the meantime, in the fall of 1798, David Mc Williams, William McWilliams and James

252

CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF BELMONT COUNTY,

McConnell were elected and ordained ruling elders of the congregation of Richland. Two years later William Ramage and Arthur Ir- win were elected, ordained, and added to the session; and, after a few years more, Robert Laughlin, John Perry, Matthew Anderson, John Marquis and, at still a later time, Robert Bell, William Faris, Sr., and Robert Morri- son. In 1826, George Anderson and John Rankin were added to the session; and Andrew P. Happer, Franklin Bell, John Culbertson, Jo- seph Laughlin and Andrew Work some years later. These were the office bearers and co- workers with Rev. Mr. Anderson in erecting the cabin church in 1798, and the second log building on the same spot, near the Presbyte- rian Cemetery, half a mile north of town, in 1808, and which in 1822 was relinquished for a more commodious brick building, con- veniently located within the limits of the town at the west end, at a cost of about $3,000-a large sum for that day.

For nearly 30 years the congregation bore the name of "Richland," but on the 19th day of January, 1827, it was incorporated under the name of "The First Presbyterian Church of St. Clairsville," with William Bell, Andrew P. Happer and Dr. John McCracken as the first trustees.

On the first Tuesday of October, 1830, Rev. Joseph Anderson at his own request was dis- missed from the pastoral charge of the con- gregation to the Presbytery of St. Charles in Missouri, where he resided until his death in Monticello, Missouri, in 1847, in the 80th year of his age, much beloved and remembered for his labors.

After the resignation of Rev. Mr. Ander- son, the church was supplied by Revs. Alex- ander Rogan, William Fuller and others until July, 1834, when a call was made for the pas- toral services of Rev. Joseph Smith, who hav- ing accepted it was installed pastor in October of the same year. Three years later Dr. Smith became president of Franklin College, having resigned the charge of St. Clairsville. Hle died December 4, 1868, after an extended min- istry of 47 years. Dr. Smith was the author

of "The History of Jefferson College," and "Old Redstone."

During the next two years the pulpit was supplied by Revs. Thomas Gordon, Churchill and others; until in October, 1839, Rev. James Alexander accepted a call from the congrega- tion and was installed pastor December 19, 1839. It was during this pastorate that the third church building was totally destroyed by fire October 15, 1841, and a fourth building erected on a new site, Marietta street, in the spring of 1843, at an expense of about $7,000. Rev. Mr. Alexander's ministry terminated as pastor of St. Clairsville June 9, 1846, and, having labored efficiently and successfully in Martin's Ferry, Wheeling Valley and Bridge- port in this presbytery, and in Allen Grove, Wolf Run and Moundsville in the Presbytery of Washington, hie ceased from his labors and entered the reward of the faithful, July, 1879. The next pastor was Rev. John Moffat, who was ordained and installed in June, 1848; for more than 13 years he labored successfully as a faithful pastor and eloquent preacher of the Gospel of Christ. He resigned in 1861 to become pastor of Rockhill and Bellaire, and in 1863 he was transferred as pastor of the Sec- ond Presbyterian Church of Wheeling. He died December, 1875.

Rev. Jolin Moffat was succeeded in St. Clairsville by Rev. David R. Campbell, D. D., in 1861, who labored with great success until February 18, 1866, when he resigned to accept the pastorate of the Second Presbyterian Church, Steubenville, Ohio. Dr. Campbell's ministry is still fragrant with the memory of a glorious revival of religion in which the membership was raised to a higher plane of spiritual activity. He died at Steubenville in March, 1873.

The next pastor was Rev. Robert Alexander, D. D., who was called September 22, 1866, and began his labors on Christmas Day of the same year. llis ministry in the congregation ex- tended over a third of a century, during which the fourth church building was destroyed by a terrific tornado, April 15, 1887, and the pres- ent beautiful and substantial stone edifice was

erected in 1888 at a cost of over $25,000. Dr. Alexander was born in Belmont County, June 15, 1887. He graduated from Washington and Jefferson College in 1855, and from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1858; he was licensed by the Presbytery of St. Clairs- ville January 6, 1858, and, having studied a year in the Free Church College, Edinburgh, Scotland, was ordained pastor of Little Britain Church, Pennsylvania, August 7, 1860, from which he was called to St. Clairsville and in- stalled here in April, 1867. He was honored with the title of Doctor of Divinity from Franklin College in 1879, and after a long and influential ministry resigned the pastorate to edit The Presbyterian April 26, 1899. He died in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, February 27, 1901,-lovingly "remembered by what he has done."

The present pastor, Rev. J. Burns Eakins, Ph. D., received the invitation of the church June 22, 1899. He was born in Ireland and received his collegiate training at the Magee College, Royal University, and Princeton The- ological Seminary, from which he graduated May 9, 1899. He entered upon his work at St. Clairsville August ist, and was ordained and installed October 3, 1899. The story of this pastorate is still to be recorded.

Besides the elders mentioned in connection with the first pastorate, the following were or- dlained and installed :

During the pastorate of Rev. James Alex- ander, D. D .: John Jepson, James McConnell, Robert Smiley, F. H. Brooks, H. H. Fisk, A. C. Work, John Tate, Sr., and John Porter.

During the pastorate of Rev. John Moffat : Samuel Ramage, James Hutchison, John Tate, Jr., Thomas T. Thompson, Samuel B. Work, Samuel Cunningham; and on January 12, 1861 : Dr. Henry West, William Chambers and William H. McBride.

During the pastorate of Rev. Robert Alexan- der, D. D. : June 4, 1874,-Joseph J. Taggart, and Robert A. Anderson; June 20, 1878,- Henry Daniel, Samuel R. Finney, William Lee, Jolin A. Grove and George Jepson; June 1, 1890,-William F. Schumaker, George V.

Brown, John W. Riley and John Elliott ; April, 17, 1898,-John D. Hays, Addison E. Rusk, Elbridge G. Amos, Lewis M. Sutton and James O. Dixon.

The following are the office bearers at the present date, October 1, 1902: Elders,-Will- iam Chambers, George Jepson, John D. Hays, Elbridge G. Amos, Robert H. Anderson, J. J. Taggart, J. W. Riley, A. E. Rusk and J. O. Dixon; trustees,-Samuel Campbell, R. M. Eaton and D. H. McBride; Sabbath-school su- perintendent,-A. W. Beatty; Women's Mis- sionary Society president,-Mrs. Elza T. Clark; Y. P. S. C. E. president,-Miss Nellie Jepson; president Robert Alexander Mission- ary Band,-Miss M. Gray McBride.

The church celebrated its first centennial in 1898, and rejoices in the fact that never in its history was it better able to be of service in the cause of God and humanity. It is free of all debt, with a membership of 320 active workers and worshipers, contributing last year $2,913 for the support of the Gospel; the out- look for pastor and people is bright and en- couraging.

The United Presbyterian Church of St. Clairsville, Ohio, was organized June, 1830. The exact date of the organization is unknown. A charter was granted the congregation by the General Assembly of the State of Oliio, February 14, 1835. The charter members were David Wallace, William Denham, John Patter- son, Ilugh Parks, Sr., John McMechen, John Nichol, Matthew Nichol, Thomas Duff, Will- iam Chambers, Jolin Stitt, Joseph Woods and William Templeton.

For the 72 years of its existence, it has had but four pastors, viz. : Rev. Hugh Parks, who was pastor from 1831 to 1838; Rev. Alexander Young, D. D., pastor from 1842 to 1857; Rev. J. B. Jolinston, D. D., pastor from 1859 to 1874; Rev. Thomas Balph, D. D., pastor from 1875 and still continues after a pastorate of more than 27 years. It is a tribute to the worth of these men and also to the stable char- acter of the people of the congregation that they have had but four pastors and yet have not been altogether five years without a pastor.

254

CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF BELMONT COUNTY,

Of these pastors, all have passed over the river except the present incumbent, but it is worthy of note that when the congregation celebrated its semi-centennial in 1880, all four of these men were on that day in the bounds of the congregation, three of them being present at the exercises, Rev. Mr. Parks alone not being able to be present.

The following men have served the congre- gation as ruling elders, viz .: David Wallace, William Templeton, John Patterson, John Nichol, Robert Stitt, William L. Duff, John Brown, Joseph Meholin, Thomas M. Nichol, Isaac Taggart, John Stewart, Thomas Duff, Solomon Bentley, Samuel Giffen, William Stewart, Ilumphrey Alexander, Robert Kerr, James Gordon, Samuel M. Thompson, Andrew J. McFarland and Thomas Johnson. These have all passed away except Andrew J. Mc- Farland, who is still living at a good old age and a member of the congregation, but not now a member of the session. The following are the present members of the session: John A. Clark, Robert E. Giffen, John V. Sutton, S. U. Clark, A. H. Hewetson, M. D., James A. Stewart, James T. Bentley and John B. McMechan.

How many united with the congregation at the organization or who they were is unknown. The following signed the call for Rev. Mr. Parks in 1831, viz .: Hugh Parks, William Chambers, Alexander H. McCormick, Alex- ander McMillen, Joseph Taggart, William Cal- derhead, James Woods, James Taggart, John Patterson, John McMechan, Robert Ross, John Nichol, Andrew King, Thomas Duff, Matthew Nichol, Joseph Woods, Andrew Paul and Isaac Taggart. The growth of the congregation has been steady, but slow. It has reached its highest number during the present pastorate, and is now 210. They have been in moderate circumstances. Nearly all of them have been small farmers.

The congregation has always been fairly lib- eral, and has manifested a missionary spirit from the beginning. As far back as 18.11 and 1842, we find single collections for mission- ary purposes, ranging from $7.60 to $15.15,

and these were taken monthly. A Woman's Missionary Society was organized in August, 1856, and has had a continued existence to the present time, the second one, perhaps, that was organized in the denomination. At the semi-centennial celebration in 1880, one in a position to know estimated the contributions of the organization to that date at $50,000. Since that time they have contributed a total of $70,534, making a grand total of over $120,- 000. During the past year they have contrib uted $2,385, an average per member of $11.80.
