ment, and repairs costing $12,000 were made. August 17, 1897, Richard and James W. Doncaster purchased the property. Richard is now in control.
The Hotel Speyerer was established by a stock company, formed December 18, 1890. The leading members of the Spey- erer Hotel Company were Herman J. Speyerer, Adam M. John- son, J. Newton Dowell, and Andrew J. Welsh. The site of the old plow factory on the corner of Water and New York streets was purchased, and in January, 1891, the contract for the erec- tion of a large building was let to Simon Harrold of Beaver Falls. The hotel was opened to the public, December 21, 1891. Its entire cost, including furnishings, was $67,832. Captain W. J. Bickerstaff is the present proprietor.
CEMETERIES
There are two cemeteries at this place, Lacock's, just on the edge of town, and Irvin's, about a quarter of a mile to the north- east of the borough line. Lacock's is the oldest, having been chartered in September, 1863.
GRAND OPERA HOUSE
The theater-going public of Rochester are served by the Grand Opera House, Mr. George W. Challis, lessee and manager.
ROCHESTER STEAM FERRY
The first ferry-boat plying across the Ohio River between Rochester and Phillipsburg was the Borough Bee. In 1862 a new boat was built, named the W. C. Gray. In 1873 Captain Joseph R. Campbell purchased this boat from Capt. J. V. Mc- Donald, and had it rebuilt in 1880, calling it the Mary C. Camp- bell, for his wife. Captain Campbell had charge of it until 1884, when he sold it to Capt. M. Winnett. The boat was afterwards owned by a company, and was run until the building of the Ohio River bridge, when it was withdrawn from service here.
POST-OFFICE
The first postmaster of the borough of Rochester was R. G. Parks. He was at that time in the forwarding business, and was appointed when the office was first established, and served until 1853. He was succeeded by Chester W. Bloss, who kept
766
History of Beaver County
the office in a small building which he had erected for that pur- pose on Maine Street. He held the position through two ad- ministrations, and was succeeded by Captain John S. Shepler in 1861. Captain Shepler, it seems held the office but one year. It was then located in the Schlelein building on Madison Street. Thomas M. Taylor was next appointed, and continued to hold the office from 1862 until 1877-fifteen years. During this period the office was located either in the brick building that stood on the corner of Maine and Madison streets, or in the frame shoe-store building belonging to Squire Taylor, and stand- ing on the lot adjoining.
Mr. Taylor was succeeded by Williamson Graham, who was appointed December 22, 1876, and performed the duties of the office from 1877 to 1887. The greater part of this time the office was kept in Mr. Graham's residence on Shields Street. Toward the latter part of Mr. Graham's term, the location was changed to the Linnenbrink building on Brighton Street. He was succeeded by William H. Black, who was appointed Febru- ary 28, 1887, and served four years. George C. Deming was appointed, February 16, 1891, also serving four years. He was succeeded by Franklin Feyler, appointed March 5, 1895, who served until Albert A. Atterholt, appointed January 8, 1890, assumed charge. June 15, 1904, the latter was succeeded by Hon. M. F. Mecklem. July 1, 1900, the office was moved to its present location in the Opera House building; and, June 1, 1902, free delivery was established in Rochester.
THE SEMI-CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION
The Semi-Centennial Celebration of the incorporation of the borough of Rochester had been decided upon by the town coun- cil early in 1899. The charter of Rochester was approved by the Governor of this State on March 20, 1849. The celebration of this event could not well be held on the proper date, however, on account of the cold weather. It was decided, therefore, to hold a special meeting of the citizens of the town in the Opera House on the evening of that day, and have the celebration on the 28th and 29th days of June. That meeting was held. Ad- dresses were made on subjects appropriate, and vocal and instrumental music was rendered, and the celebration was car- ried out as arranged for on the above dates in June.

History of Beaver County
GROWTH AND POPULATION
In 1850 there was property in the borough that was assessed at $106,010. To-day (1904) the assessed valuation of property is $2,675,387. Then there were twenty places of business; now there are seventy. Then there were about one thousand in- habitants; now there are over four thousand, with a growing suburban population that increases that number by a thousand. By the United States Census for 1900 the population of the borough was 4688.
EAST ROCHESTER
East Rochester is a suburb of Rochester, lying within the limits of Rochester township. In September, 1888, it was partly plotted into town lots by H. C. Lacock and others, the plot being known as the "H. C. Lacock plan of lots"; and in July, 1903, a plan of lots was laid out by Curtis C. Noss, known as the "Stewart plan of lots."
The United Brethren Church of East Rochester was organ- ized in Patton's Hall, Rochester, Pa., February 18, 1895, by Rev. S. W. Welsh, who became its first pastor. The first trus- tees were Lewis Vandevort, Edmond Kline, and Lewis Gross. In November of the same year Rev. E. H. Barnhardt was ap- pointed pastor by Rev. J. W. Stahl, presiding elder. Mr. Barn- hardt served the congregation for four years. In the year 1898 a lot was given to the church by Henry C. Lacock and his wife, in East Rochester, on which a neat frame house of worship was erected. This building was dedicated in April, 1899, by Bishop E. B. Shephard. The following ministers have served the church: S. W. Welsh, E. H. Barnhardt, - Smith, J. J. Funk, S. M. Miller, and A. V. Vondersmith.
NORTH ROCHESTER
This is a suburb started by the Business Men's Association of Rochester, and laid out by the North Rochester Improvement Company on lands of Hugh and Joseph Irvin. The site of the H. C. Fry Glass Company's plant, mentioned above under the head of "Manufacturing Enterprises," was donated by the Im- provement Company.

"his town was formerly a part of Beaver,' and to-day the 'wo towns would seem to the casual observer to be one. They Le. however. two distinct boroughs. The present Bridgewater .s the result of the consolidation under the Act of the Legisla- sure si March 19, 1868,2 of the two towns of Sharon and Bridge- water. It lies along the Beaver Creek, from the Fallston line wo the Ohio. The upper. or Sharon, part is the older. settle- teat having been made there probably as early as 1798. The erst bridge across the Big Beaver was built at Bridgewater, near Wolf Lane, a full description of which is given in Chapter VII.
EARLY SETTLERS
Major Robert Darragh was a very early pioneer in Beaver County, having come to this place from Ireland in 1798. The first building in Bridgewater was erected by him, and was a place of public entertainment. He also opened a store there. Major Darragh served one term as State Senator from Beaver County. He died at the advanced age of ninety-six. The Hon. John Dickey lived in Sharon for many years and died there. Other early settlers were William Davidson, George Hinds, Samuel R.

Dunlap, and John Boles. Another building, which was erected in 1803 by Hoopes, Townsend & Company, was one of the im- portant general stores of Sharon and was known in later times as the "Old Red Front."
BUSINESS DIRECTORIES
Gordon's Gazetteer of Pennsylvania, published in 1832, says of Bridgewater:
The village of Sharon is adjacent and both may be considered as one town. There are here a saw mill, salt works, for which coal is found within a few perches; an iron foundry, brewery, several boat yards, a wind mill factory, and other mechanical and manufacturing establish- ments. "Stone's Harbor" is also here, considered as one of the safest and most commodious on the Ohio. It is the principal depot for the trade passing up and down the Beaver valley, and to and from the West- ern Reserve in the state of Ohio. Bridgewater and Sharon contain to- gether about 110 dwellings, 4 taverns, 5 stores and I Episcopal [Methodist Episcopal] church.
Harris's Pittsburg Business Directory for 1837 has the follow- ing notice of Sharon:
Sharon is pleasantly located on the left bank of Beaver river, about a short mile from its confluence with the Ohio river, and about the same distance from the borough of Beaver, Bridgewater and Fallston. The leading road to Ohio passes through the town, and it is the residence of a number of very industrious, deserving citizens.
Directory of Sharon: Merchants-Robert Darragh, John Dickey. Tanners-Joseph and Samuel Moorehead, James Darragh. Boot and Shoemakers-J. T. Miller, S. Scott. Boat Builder-William Davidson. Blacksmith-Thomas McClelland. Innkeepers-J. Murray,' J. Davis. Justice of the peace-R. A. Carlton. Clergyman-Jonathan Davis, Baptist.
The same Directory for 1841 gives the population of Sharon at about three hundred, and the following names of its business men, with their occupations, occur:
Patent tub and bucket maker-Giles Faris. Foundry, employing 10 hands, operated by Robert Darragh, J. S. Darragh, Mattison Darragh and S. H. Darragh. Gunsmith-A. H. Armstrong. Sawyers-George Ashael,
' Murray's Hotel, mentioned by Harris in 1837 Directory, stood at the mouth of Brady's Run. Here, in 1840, Mormon meetings were held and some converts were baptized in the creek.

AARON BURR'S OPERATIONS
The upper part of this settlement, that which was known as Sharon, was the scene of a part of Aaron Burr's operations in carrying on his great conspiracy for the establishment of an empire in the southwest. In 1805-06 Burr had a number of boats built in this place for use in his expedition down the Ohio and Mississippi to New Orleans, and it is believed that he him- self at one time visited the spot to inspect the work.
The connection of Burr's enterprise with this place is well supported by the evidence of old and reliable citizens of Sharon and vicinity. It is said that Dr. McCaslin, director and surgeon of the proposed expedition, brought two men, Tyler and Smith by name, as business managers, and located here a boatyard about a mile and a half from the mouth of the Beaver. Amasa Brown, who came to Beaver County from Utica, N. Y., father of the late Captain Perry Brown, and grandfather of Hon. Hartford P. Brown of Rochester, was the superintendent or master boat-builder. The craft constructed for this expedition were similar in style to the old keel boats, except that they were covered over closely, making them weather proof. They were called by some "arks," and on account of their destina- tion were also known as "Orleans Boats." The boats were from sixty to seventy feet in length, and were capable of holding a large cargo. The workmen employed in this enterprise were lodged in a house next to the "Old Red Front" mentioned on the preceding page. Payments for the work done were made promptly by drafts on New York, and all drafts were honored except the last one, which was presented sometime after
771
History of Beaver County
the bubble of empire had burst. We can see no good reason for discrediting this story, the visit of Burr included.1
Early in the forties many people in Sharon became inter- ested in silk worm culture. The cocoons were sold mainly to the Harmony Society, which was then engaged in the manu- facture of silk. A Cincinnati firm bought up most of the prop- erty, but as they failed soon afterward no care was taken of it, and the business was abandoned. Business of all kinds now began to center in the lower part of the community, or Bridge- water.
Bridgewater proper (including the consolidated towns) was incorporated as a borough under the Act of Assembly, dated April 1, 1834,2 by a decree of the Court of Quarter Sessions, April 2, 1835.3 August 1, 1859, by a decree of the Court of Quarter Sessions, the borough of Bridgewater took advantage of the provisions of the Act of April 3, 1851.4 March 6, 1840, it was decreed by the Court that the borough elections for that and the following years should be held on the last of March, which remained the time for that purpose until the adoption of the State law fixing the time for borough elections for February.
Among the men of prominence in the early days of Bridge- water was Joseph Hemphill, who also held many county offices.5 He was one of the largest land-owners in this neighborhood, and kept a general store and tavern in Beaver. By him a part of the town of Bridgewater was laid out in 1818.
The land lying west of the mouth of the Big Beaver and running down to the Ohio River, known in early times as "Beaver Point," and later as "Stone's Point," was bought as
" "From Pittsburg he floated in a boat specially built for him, down to New Orleans, stopping at many points, and often receiving enthusiastic attention." Appleton's Cyclo- pedia of American Biography: Art. "Burr."
The mention of Beaver in a letter from Comfort Tyler to Blennerhassett, dated Pitts- burg, November 14, 1806, would seem to show that this place was in part the scene of the activities of Burr's associates: Beaver at that time being often put for any place near the mouth of the Big Beaver. From this letter we extract the following:
"My calculations have at all times been to leave Beaver on the first of next month. The only difficulty that I have encountered is, the procuring provisions necessary for my settlers, some of whom are behind, and I fear they will not arrive in time; but I shall be off with the few that may happen to be with me, and trust to those behind to follow on." The Aaron Burr Conspiracy, McCaleb, p. 246.
Tyler reached Blennerhassett Island Dec. 9, 1806, with four boats and twenty men.

early as 1803 by the Harmony Society. They built here a warehouse for storing goods received and shipped by river. This they sold before their removal from Butler County west to Indiana. It was used for the same purpose as late as 1850. On this point a number of town lots were sold by Stephen Stone, October 18. 1831, and he also sold lots on the island which for- merly existed a short distance below the present dam and bridge, but which has been entirely obliterated by the floods.1 At this point in early times a good deal of boat-building was done. In his sketch of Beaver County. James Patterson says:
Upon the locks of the canal entering the Ohio was built the first steamboat used for carrying passengers to run from Beaver to Pittsburg, by John Dickey and others, of a size which they calculated would pass through these locks. It did pass through once. but was found to be too tight a tit. consuming too much time in the transit. She ran for a time below the locks, and it being found that she was too small for that trade, she was sold to go down the river. The steamboats Beater, Fallston and New Castle were quickly built and put in successful operation, landing for a time at that place and also at Rochester, where large ware- houses were erected to accommodate the trade.'
Stone's Point was a stopping-place for the steamboats pass- ing up and down the river, and a place of resort for the citizens of Beaver and Bridgewater, where they assembled to hear the news from Pittsburg and other points, or to see the eminent persons who not infrequently traveled up and down the Ohio when it was a main route of transportation from the East to the West. A large hotel was built at the Point by Mr. Stone, which was much frequented in the days of steamboating.
Some of the packets of about the year 1840 were the Michi-
" The following advertisement appeared in the Pittsburgh Gosrtw, Tuesday morning, September 20, 1831:
TOWN LOTS FOR SALE.
"The subscriber will offer at public sale, on the premises, on the 18th of October next commencing at 11 o'clock, A.M., a large number of TOWN LOTS at " BEAVER POINT." situated as follows: One range of Lots fronting on the bayou that cuts across from the Big Beaver to the Ohio river; and also a range of Lots fronting on an alley that runs parallel with Beaver creek, back of Bridgewater. All the Island will also be laid out in small lots and sold, which lies immediately at the junction of the Ohio and Big Beaver creek. The situation of all these lots is beautiful for building, perhaps not surpassed in the Western country: presenting a very commanding prospect, and lying so near the Ohio river and the basin about to be made at the mouth of Big Beaver, will make them eligible sites for any kind of public business. It is unnecessary for me to enlarge in this recommendation: but I most earnestly request my fellow citizens, both in this vicinity and at a distance, to attend and judge for themselves. The terms will be easy, and made known the morning of the sale.

gan, commanded by Captain Brice Boies; Lake Erie, No. 2, Captain John Gordon; Fallston, Captain John Dickey; and the Beaver, Captain James Murray. Two packets left daily for Pittsburg when the stage of water permitted; and in times of low water, Rowan Bros. & Hoopes, who kept a livery stable on Water Street, furnished transportation by hacks.
About sixty years ago Bridgewater was a thriving business center. An old subscription book gives us the names of many prominent residents then carrying on its business, viz .:
S. T. Trimble, Esq., William Porter, Esq., Ephraim Jones, Dr. T. J. Chandler, Major Joshua Logan, Alex. McConahy, William McCallister, Daniel Shafer, Clarke & Co., John Torrance, J. M. Long, W. K. Boden, Joseph Shane, Thomas McKee, Milton Swager, Dr. J. C. Muller, Isaac Jones, D. D. Geren, Esq., John M. Norris, Samuel B. Wilson, John R. Day, John Heilman, R. Tallon, Robert Gilmore, George W. Fulton, Samuel G. Long, William Eakin, Stewart Rowan, Talbot T. Dugan, William Adams, Elihu Evans, Wm. Barnes, Jacob Hinds, Martin W. Small, Abram Shockey, Jr., Greer McWilliams, John W. Hoops, P.

Boies, Thomas Russell, Lehmer, Donavan & Co., James Porter, George Miller, J. M. Adams.
The steamboat landing was but a short distance below the dam. Lower Water Street was then the terminus of the Beaver Extension of the Erie Canal; and it was usual to see a long line of canal boats, strung from the west end of the bridge up the Beaver, loading and unloading freight. There were a number of forwarding and commission houses, prominent, those of F. J. & H. Clarke, McClure & Dickey, Ankeny & Boake. Dunlap's Hotel was on the corner of Water and Bridge streets, and on the opposite side, where the St. Cloud now stands, the Ankeny Hotel, afterwards kept by Chester W. Bloss, Rochester's postmaster at one time. All along Bridge Street, from the end of the bridge to the foot of the Beaver hill, were many business places, stores, groceries, bakeries, doctors' offices, marble, tin, tailor, and other shops.
