THE CITY OF SANDUSKY.
African Methodist Episcopal Church, Steven's Chapel, Rev. George Stevens first pastor and founder of the church in 1879. Corner-stone laid by Rev. Mor- ris in the same year. It has thirty members, and has had many obstacles to its growth, but still continues to exist in spite of all opposing forces. For many years one of its most active forces was Father Boston, well known to all San- dusky residents, and still living, but of great age.
The First Presbyterian Church, corner of Washington and Jackson streets, Rev. D. E. Bierce pastor. It was not until 1852, when Sandusky was a town of respectable proportions, and had witnessed the changes incident to thirty-five years of growth, that it was deemed necessary to organize a Presbyterian Church. At this time, December 11, 1852, twenty-six persons took their let- ters from the Congregational Church, and formed. themselves into the First Presbyterian Church of Sandusky.
For a time their services were held in Campbell's Hall on Water street, and not until the following year did they make a move in the direction of building. This was in 1853, and in 1854 the lecture-room was completed and occupied. The entire building was completed in 1855, and dedicated in June of that year. Its cost was $33,000 including organ and bell. The lot had cost $2,000, making an entire cost of $35,000. It is built of native stone, beautifully situated on the corner of Washington and Jackson streets, facing the city park. In some respects it is the most attractive church edifice among the Protest- ant denominations in the city. Its first elders were W. P. Gray and Charles Cockran.
Rev. W. S. Kennedy was the first pastor. He took charge of his flock in 1852, and remained six years. He was an able and popular man, and at that time received and accepted a call to the Third Presbyterian Church of Cincin- nati. He was succeeded by Rev. Thomas C. Campbell, a young graduate of Allegheny Theological Seminary, who began his work December 20, 1859, and remained until July, 1861. From that time the church was supplied by Rev. Mr. Cross of Baltimore until the following December, when Rev. Franklin Noble, a graduate of Union Theological Seminary, was chosen pastor. He re- mained in Sandusky almost three years, and left July 1, 1864.
In October, 1864, the church called Rev. George H. Fullerton from the Lan- caster (Ohio) Presbyterian Church, and he became its pastor until November, 1867. He was a faithful servant and did a good work here. From Sandusky he went to the Walnut Hill's Church, Cincinnati. Rev. Dr. Keifer, professor of Heidelberg College, Tiffin, was called to succeed Mr. Fullerton, and continued his labors until February, 1869. In July of that year Rev. James McCoy, a young minister was called, and remained until October, 1872. He was suc- ceeded by Rev. Mead C. Williams (since D.D.) who served the church faithfully from June, 1873, until March, 1877.
The church was now vacant six months, but supplied by Rev. D. J. Meese,
47

who then became its pastor. He was not installed until November, 1880, and was a devoted and successful pastor until he received and accepted a call to the First Presbyterian Church of Mansfield, O., October 1, 1886. After hearing various candidates the church decided to call Rev. D. E. Bierce, of Fargo, D. T., who accepted and began his work in 1887.
During the history of this church, extending over a period of more than thirty years, there have been many changes in its membership, and the usual vicissitudes of all church life have varied its numbers from year to year, now increasing, now decreasing, until at the present time it numbers a membership reaching almost, if not quite, two hundred persons. It has a Sabbath-school that is in a prosperous condition.
In 1869-70 it started a mission in the eastern part of the city, which has been promotive of great good, and is still cared for by the church. It averages about one hundred scholars, and the property is valued at $1,600.
ASSOCIATIONS, SOCIETIES AND ORDERS.
The Young Men's Christian Association. Among the numerous societies of Sandusky there is none of greater value and importance to the people gen- erally, and none having more pure and praiseworthy objects in view-the reaching out for young men and drawing them away from vice, giving them opportunities for study and self-improvement, and providing them with honest employment -than that society known all through the land as the Young Men's Christian Association. And there is no society in this city that has made the stubborn fight for life against many trials, hardships, disadvantages, and disappointments as has this.
The Young Men's Christian Association of Sandusky was organized in the year 1870, through the personal endeavors of J. R. Davies, James Woodworth, James E. Marshall, George J. Anderson, E. E. Upp and others, who felt the necessity of such an organization in the city, and saw abundant room for the society's work. Mr. Davies was elected president, and Byron Gager, secretary. After presiding over the society for some years Mr. Davies retired and was succeeded by D. C. Powers, and he, after two years, by Henry H. West. The latter, with a brief interval, held the presidency until the year 1884, when the present president was chosen. During that interval of time Mr. Davies filled the position, and it was while so holding that William R. Mccullough rendered efficient service as general secretary ; and during the same period Mrs. Susan Collwell bequeathed to the association the sum of $500, to be used as the nucleus of a building fund.
The association obtained a refusal of a parcel of land on Washington Row, on which it was proposed to erect a suitable building, but before the transac- tion was fully consummated the owners conveyed the property to other persons, having received an offer somewhat in excess of the price to be paid by the

society. From that time there seems to have been no effort made toward securing property or erecting a building. For about three years the associa- tion has occupied rented rooms on Columbus avenue at No. 204, but prior to their locating there it had quarters in the Hubbard block, at the corner of Col- umbus avenue and Water street.
The present officers of the Young Men's Christian Association are as fol- lows: President, T. Bower; secretary, Howard Bradley ; corresponding sec- retary, Richard Lee; treasurer, O. B. Bannister. The association now num- bers seventy-five members.
The Woman's Christian Temperance Union. This society, the aim of which is no less worthy than that last above mentioned, was organized in San- dusky in 1879, by a number of well known ladies of the city, among whom were Mrs. J. Y. Beattie, Mrs. S. C. Norris, Mrs. Rev. D. J. Meese, Mrs. Rev. Knapp, Mrs. Amelia Lewis, Mrs. Dr. Chandler, Mrs. W. B. Hudson, Mrs. Mary E. West, Mrs. Josiah Strong, Mrs. Emma Nason, Mrs. William Cooke, Mrs. Alvord, Mrs. Theodore Walker, Mrs. B. F. Thompson, and perhaps others whose names cannot now be recalled. The object of the society becomes at once patent by reference to its name - the work of combatting intemperance and kindred vices through Christian influences and Christian work.
The union has a membership of about thirty, but unfortunately perhaps, the hard work of the society devolves upon some eight or ten of its more active members. The present officers are Mrs. Mary E. West, president ; Mrs. Samuel Facer, vice-president ; Mrs. J. Y. Beattie, secretary ; Mrs. B. F. Thompson, treasurer ; Mrs. William Cooke, superintendent of the Woman's Temperance Publication Society.
The Order of Free Masonry. Of the hardy pioneers, those who first settled in Ohio when its broad domain was but a vast wilderness, when the red man and the wild beast roamed at will through the then almost unbroken forest, many were Masons, made in the older States, from which they came. Small settlements grew into communities, and they were organized into villages, towns, and thus came cities, and when they who had been taught to use the trowel to spread the cement of brotherly love and affection without regard to the ordinary avocations of life in which their several lots were cast, found themselves gathered together in any given locality in sufficient numbers, feeling the want of a Masonic home, the members of the order proceeded from time to time to organize their lodges, and erect their altars, generally obtaining authority to do so. from the grand lodges existing in the States in which a portion of them had lived before coming to Ohio, and they thereby owed allegiance to the several grand lodge jurisdictions from which they had obtained charters, so that prior to 1808 there were in this State six subordinate lodges respectively located, one each in the towns of Marietta, Cincinnati, Chillicothe, Worthington, Warren and Zanesville.
L

HISTORY OF ERIE COUNTY.
By an arrangement previously made and entered into by and between the officers and members of the said several lodges a convention had been called to meet at Chillicothe, the then capital of the State, on Monday, January 4, A. D. 1808. The Legislature was assembled at the same time, and by virtue of said argument and call, said convention did assemble for the purpose of organizing a grand lodge, and during the week the grand lodge was organized to be known as the Grand Lodge of F. & A. M. of Ohio.
The meager records preserved of the perfecting of the organization at that time show, that of the early settlers of Ohio some of whom gained not only a State but a national reputation and were honored and respected by the peo- ple, that Lewis Cass, Philoman Beecher, Rufus Putnam, Thomas Hender- son, George Tod, Isaac Van Horn, Robert Colver, Ichabod Ney, William Skinner, Thomas Gibson, Elias Langham, Levin Belt, Charles A. Stewart, Peter Spruck, James Kilbourn, David Putnam, Henry Massie, John Seely and Francis Mennessier, all Master Masons, were present and participated in the good work in laying the foundation on which the great Masonic edifice in Ohio has been erected.
After going through with the preliminaries necessary under the circum- stances "to establish a more perfect union," they proceeded to perfect the organization by the election of permanent officers, viz .: G. M., Rufus Putnam; D. G. M., Thomas Henderson ; S. G. W., George Tod ; J. G. W., Isaac Van Horn ; G. Sec'y, David Putnam; G. Treas., Henry Massie; G. S. D., Philo- man Beecher; G. J. D., Levin Belt; G. Marshal, Charles A. Stewart ; G. Ty- ler, Peter Spruck.
Science Lodge No. 50, F. & A. M. of Sandusky. In June, 1818, when San- dusky was but a small village containing but a few hundred inhabitants, and the Indians in this part of Ohio outnumbered the whites, there were among these early settlers quite a number that were Masons. Among and of them were Hector Kilbourn, a surveyor, Dr. George Anderson, Eleutherus Cook, Moers Farwell, John D. Wheeler, Ebenezer Ransom and others, having been made Masons before they came to Sandusky, and being more or less imbued with a love and reverence for the order, and feeling that they wanted a Masonic home wherein to gather in fraternal union, caused an application to be pre- pared and signed by the requisite number of Master Masons, and forwarded it to the G. M. of the Grand Lodge of Ohio, asking of him the authority to organize a subordinate lodge in Sandusky, and in July, 1818, Chester Gris- wold, the then M. W grand master, granted the dispensation prayed for, and appointed Hector Kilbourn W. M., and by order of the grand lodge held at Columbus, December, 1818, Science Lodge with others was authorized to con- tinue its labors under the dispensation until the next communication of the grand lodge.
At the session of the grand lodge held in Columbus, December, 1819, Hec-

tor Kilbourn was its representative, and recorded as the master of the lodge in the published proceedings of that year, which also show that the returns of the lodge were not received in time to be acted upon before adjournment, whereby the lodge continued to work under the dispensation another year.
At the session of the grand lodge held at Columbus, commencing Decem- ber II, 1820, the committees on charters and dispensations reported in favor of granting a charter, which report was accepted and charter granted, and was duly issued, signed by John Snow, M. W. grand master, and Benjamin Gardner, grand secretary. Brother Lyman Farwell was its representative to the grand lodge at the session of 1820.
In December, 1820, the organization of Science Lodge No. 50 F. and A. M. was perfected under its charter, and entered upon its course as a full fledged lodge, and the following is a list of its officers so far as reported up to and in- cluding the year 1835.

During the years 1821-22-23 this lodge was not represented in the grand lodge. It was represented by Eleutherus Cooke in 1824; not represented in 1825 or 1826. Represented by Hector Kilbourn in 1827 ; Dr. George Ander- son in 1828; Hector Kilbourn and Abner Root in 1829; Platt Benedict 1830; Hector Kilbourn again in 1831 ; Abner Root in 1831-32-33 and '34; Hector Kilbourn and John N. Sloan in 1835, and in 1836 by John N. Sloan. All of these old patriarchs in Masonry, who figured those days in Sandusky were called in due time, and when ripe in years, to take their seats in the grand lodge above. Called over the river from time to eternity to render an account of their stewardship. Called from labor to refreshment, and let it be hoped that each of them was found to have his credentials properly signed, and his eligibility found satisfactory, when examined for admission in the grand lodge above, and that their paths were strewn with more flowers and less thorns than when sojourning on this mundane footstool. By reason of the reverses and vicissi- tudes of life that beset and overcome the good as well as the bad, the strong as well as the weak, the rich as well as the poor, Science Lodge was dormant from 1836, and intervening years up to 1848, and its charter was returned to the grand lodge. September 4, 1848, upon the application of George R. Morton, William B. Smith, Harvey Camp, C. D. Morehouse, David Powers, Eleutherus Cooke, Thomas Hogg and H. Howe, M. Z. Kreider, the then G. M., of Lan- caster, issued a dispensation, giving the same name and number, thus virtually reviving the old lodge, and appointed George R. Mortor., W. M .; Eleutherus Cooke S. W., and William B. Smith, J. W .; the other officers not recorded. And on September 11, 1848, at the regular communication of the grand lodge then held at Columbus, a new charter was granted which was issued of date of Sep- tember 26, 1848, bearing the names of George R. Morton, Eleutherus Cooke, William B. Smith, Henry Howe, Erastus Cooke, Andrew Lytle, David Powers, Archibald Brucefield and Henry Camp as charter members, and shortly there- after were elected the officers for the year 1848, and then follow the officers in proper succession to and for the year 1888, viz .:
