WEST SUNBURY.

The village of West Sunbury (Coultersville Post. Office) an incorporated borough, is situated in the northeast quarter of Clay Township, and eleven miles north of Butler. the county seat. It contains two church edifices (Presbyterian and Methodist Episco- pal), an academy. a public school building. a hotel ithe Wick House). steam grist mill. steam mill for the manufacture of barrel staves, fourstores for the sal . of general merchandise. a drug store. tin and hardware store. furniture store, wagon, harness, blacksmith and shoe shops, and in ISSO bad ninety-six taxable inhab- itants.

Robert Graham. a nephew of Sammel Findley. was the first to settle upon and improve any portion of the village site. Afterward, as early as ISIS, the brothers, James and John Gilchrist, became the own ers of a large traet situated hereabouts, which in- cluded the land- formerly occupied by Graham. . About the year 1525. James Gilchrist, as proprietor. caused a village plat to be surveyed Campbell Pur-

viance being the surveyor- - and within a year or two sold a considerable member of lots at the rate of from five to ten dollars cach.

Of those who purchased early. was Robert Duu lap.> a blacksmith, who, bee mming the owner of four lots situated at the foot of the hill on the west side of Main street erected a log house. also a log black- smith shop thereon. in the summer of 1529. and dur ing the fall of the same year became the first resident of the village. Soon after Andrew Wick. John Wick. John Smith, and Henry A. Thomas, a Welshman, joined him as village residents.

John Thompson (the father of Thomas C. Thomp- son) was a native of Ireland, and while still a resi dent of the Green Isle, married Miss Martha Humos. Soon after that event he emigrated to America. and arrived at Philadelphia about the year 1796. From thence he removed to the vicinity of the present town of MeKeesport. where he remained until 1799, when he located in what is now known as the township of Brady, Butler County. Penn.

The children of John and Martha Thompson were Jane, William H .. John, Margaret. Robert W .. Thomas C .. born June 24. 1805. Elizabeth. Martha. Mary. Humes and James. besides one who died in in- fancy, or twelve in all Thomas C .. at Sunbury Borough. and Mary, the widow of William Cooper. are the only ones of the children of John Thompson now living: eleven of them were married and became the heads of families. The father was ninety-two. and the mother eighty-five at the time of their deaths. The homestead in Brady is now owned by Newton. son of Humes Thompson, yet many others of the fam- ily reside in the vicinity.

Thomas C. Thompson was married. April 15. 1511. to Miss Sarah Mckinney. Of the eloven children born to them, William J .. Robert J .. Thomas II .. Andrew R., Sarah Jane and Martha Ann are living. In 1537. Thomas C. Thompson came to the village and purchased the property where he now resides. which consisted of 100 acres, Int by buying from time to time other small parcels, and vacant village fots, whose owners would rather dispose of than at tempi to build upon. ho eventually became the owner of 200 acres of land in and near by the village.

It is his recollection that the only inhabitants in the town. in 1837, were Dunlap Smith. Thomas. and the brothers. Andrew and John Wick. The Wick brothers were then the proprietors of a small stock of groceries, etc. which were expel for sale in a log building standing on the corner now occupied by J. S. Wick. Thomas, besides selling goods, occasionally

Thomas Dunlap was married January 1, 1-25 His first child, Je han, was bort December 2, of the same year, and November 12, 1st, the first child was born in the village, viz., Mary Jane, danghte of Thoma, Dunlap, now the wife uf James Boxand.

made small quantities of gunpowder. George Boyd, however, was the first to keep a good and varied as. sortment of dry goods, groceries, etc . and was also the first tavero keeper and Postmaster. Dr. H. C. Linn, now of Butler, was the first physician to reside here. Joseph Wasson. a carpenter, also an early tay. ern keeper. was likewise prominently identified with the history of the village at an early day. He con- structed Thomas Thompson's prosent dwelling house in 1539, and a year or two later, essaye to build the first house of worship of the United Presbyterian or ganization. Illustrative of life in the early days and the characteristics of some of the people. Mr. T. C. Thompson further relates that. for a number of year's after the first settlement of the county. it was ensto. mary for various bands of Indians -usually denomi- nated Cornplanter Indians-to frequent the forests of Butler and hunt deer and other game then abound. ing. Especially was this their practice for two or three years immediately succeeding the war of Is12- 14. The Indians would follow the chase for days and weeks at a time (meanwhile as each door was killed it was neatly dressed and hung up on some convenient tree, beyond the reach of wolves and dogs). and at the close of their hunting season the car- casses were gathered together and taken to the com- mon camping grounds.

During the early spring succeeding the last win- ter's hunt by the Indians in this part of the county. Young Thompson and one or two of his brothers. in passing through a wood. discovered the carcass of a deer still hanging where it had been placed by some successful hunter, and supposing that it had been forgotten by the Indian hunter (who had de- parted long before). it was pulled down by the boys and thrown to the dogs. The boys told of their ad- venture in the forest. and soon the story was known throughout the neighborhood. A few days later. therefore, "Old Bob" Patterson appeared at the Thompson residence, very angry apparently. and after stating to Mrs. Thompson. Sr .. that he was aware that his boys had found and destroyed a deer's car- cass belonging to him (Patterson) demanded pay for the same.

RELIGIOU'S HISTORY.

Presbyterian Church of Maddy Creek. It ap- pears that this immediate region was first set- tlel by the English-speaking whites about the year 1796, and the history of the Presbyterian Church of Muddy Creek dates back to within about three years of that time. The first settlers were largely com- posed of men and women strongly imbued with a high sense of honor, and strong love of truth and honesty. They were under the influence of pure re- ligious principles, which fitted them for useful, relia- ble, and efficient members of society and the church of God. Hence. as soon as they had hewn ont for themselves homes in the wilderness. they seem to have provided for their spiritual interests.

The early records of this church have not been preserved, however, or at least, are no longer accessi- blo: it appears that the first preaching of the Gospel here was in 1799. Rev. John MePherrin, the first preacher to visit this neighborhood. wasa warm. zeal- ous and able minister, eminently well fitted for the work to which he was called. He was a member of the Presbytery of Redstone. in Westmoreland Conn ty. Penn., when he came as an evangelist and preached at Muddy Creek. Subsequently, others came and preached occasionally until 1503. when Mr. Mel.herrin returned. and in the following year a call was extended to him to become pastor of this church. which had been organized some time before In 1805, he was duly installed as pastor of Muddy Crook Church, in connection with two neighboring organi- zations, giving one-third of his ministerial labors to each.

In ISI3. Mr. MePherrin appears to have resigned his charge of Muddy Creek, and the church remained without a pastor until 7523, when Rev. John Coulter

(then a licentiate of the Presbytery of Ohio; was called to the pastorato of it in connection with Butler and Concord. Mr Coulter continued until 1550. when he resigned the charge of Maddy Creek after a very successful pastorate of twenty seven years.

The church then remained withont a pastor until 1553. when ley. Alexander Cunningham was installed He served very acceptably one half of the time, until 1856. when he was released on account of ill health.

The present pastor Rov. Samuel Williams was licensed to preach on the 25th of Inne, 1856, and on the same day was engaged to serve the church of MIn ldy Creek as stated supply. On the loth of August fol- lowing, he began to labor in this church, and Novem ber 5 accepted a call to become its pastor. He was ordained April 11. 1557. and May 23 following was installed as pastor. Then for a period of nearly thirteen years, or until July 1. 1869. his minis. terial labors were equally divided between Muddy Creek and Conterville Churches. Muddy Creek then asked and obtained the whole of his time This arrangement continued until January 1. 1875. since winch period his time has been equally divided between Muddy Creek and the newly organized church of Unionville which is a colony from Muddy Creek.

Thus this church has had four pastors. the first continuing about nine years, the second twenty seven years. the third about four years and the fourth. now more than twenty-five years. Among the officers, early friends and supporters of the Presbyterian Church of Muddy Creek, many of whose descendants are still munbered among its members, were the McJunkins, McCandlesses. Thompsons. Wallaces. Thorns. Newmans. Allisons, Gibsons. Turks, Snyder -. Wieks, Wightons. Coberts. Campbells. MeCalls, Alls worths, Findleys. AHens, and others whose names are recorded on high.

This. like other churches in this region. was small and humble at the beginning. in accordance with the simplicity of the times and the limited resources of the people. The first house of worship was a small log structure, about twenty-four feet in dimen sions, and covered with clapboards. About the

year 1821. the second church edifico was erected. It W.is constructed of howed logs and roofed with oak shingles. It was a much larger and better building than the first, being thirty by sixty feet in size, ceiled and plastered and warmel In stoves. It was at that time considered one of the best churches in the Pros bytrry. For two years prior to the completion of this house. the congregation worshiped in a grove (the preacher occupying a tent) during the summer season. and in the dwelling houses of the people in winter. And it has been mentioned as a special providential favor. that during all that time the con

gregation was never once incommoded by storm or rain during public worship. But, the first Sabbath after the house was ready for occupancy, being a communion Sabbath, they had concluded to hold the services as usual in the grove. JJust as the services began. however, the sky was overcast with clouds. and the assembled people were driven into the house by a violent storm of wind and rain. The present house of worship. a substantial and commodious brick structure, was finished about 1552. It is fifty feet wide and sixty feet in length. well proportioned. comfortable and in every way well adapted to the purposes of a sanctuary. As to the spiritual life of this church. during most of its history, it has en. joyed precious evidences of the divine favor and blessing. Its growth has been moderate but constant. Since the beginning of the present pastorate. the ad- ditions number three hundred an I forty-four. The church has been blessed with some seasons of special religious interest, which may be properly fermed re vivals of religion. The first of these was in 1955. when forty- four persons were addded to the church during the year. Another revival was enjoyed in 1877. when a still larger number were gathered into the church. It has its Sabbath school. prayer-meet- ings and Ladies' Missionary Society. all actively en- gaged in promoting the cause of religion at home, and sending the Gospel abroad. In view of the past. there is reason for thankfulness, and hope for the future. [ From MESS. kindly furnished by the pastor -- Rev. Samuel Williams- under date of August 25. 1582. |

Lutheran Church .- A decade or more ago the Lutherans organized and built a church edifice in the village of West Sunbury, of which Mr. Peter Rhodes. merchant, was a prominent member. The congrega. tion was small. however, and it being found difficult to maintain an organization there, its members, not many years since, joined the Springdale Lutheran Church. situated in the southwest corner of Con- cord Township (see history of that township).

United Presbyterian Church. - The United Pres- byterian congregation of West Sunbury seems to have been organized about the year 1990. by the union of two small associations known respectively as Associate Reformed Presbyterians, and Seceders. For some years prior to the year mentioned. however. the families representing these denominations had been visited frequently. yet at irregular intervals. by missionaries sent out by those of older organizations) having the matter in charge. The missionaries were usually of European birth.

However. in 1540, Sammel Ekin (who might he termed the father of this churchy deeded to the Asso- ciate Reformed Church of Sunbury four acres of

land on which to erect a church edifice and establish a burial ground. The deed being made a matter of record in Book M. County Record of Deeds. July 1. IS40. During the same year, it was determined to erect a house of worship. whereupon a subscription paper was cirenlated in the immediate vicinity. when ninety men, representing various religion- denominations, as well as a considerable number of non-denominationalists. subscribed to the building fund to the amount of $4 $3.45. John Smith, Samuel London and Joseph W. Christy were thereupon ap- pointed a building committee. They contracted with Joseph Wassoon to erect a framed building forty feet square. and one story in height (the same to be completed January 1. 1542), for the sum of $700. The latter began the work soon after. and framed the timbers, etc., but the endeavor to erect and stay the frame work under his management was unsuccessful. the whole collapsed and fell to the ground, and Was son gave up the task in disgust. Peter Grubb. John Brackney. Stephen Schull, John Brewster and others then completed the building, and it was the first of. cupied for the purpose for which it was built in the fall of 1843.

At that time, the regular communicants did not number many more than twenty-five. among the inale members being Stephen Allen, John Thompson. Dunbar Christy. Robert Findley. William McMichael. Joseph W. Christy. Samuel Ekin. William Gilchrist. Samuel London. William Caruthers. John Pryor. Poter Grubb, Gideon Grubb, Jacob Wolford, Christopher Me Michael. John Smith and William Thompson.

In December. ISAB. James Wilson. William Gil christ. John Brewster. John Pryor. William Ekin and Jacob Wolford were elected as the first trustees of the "1-sociato Reformed Presbyterian Congregation of Sanbury." ant in November. 1848, the organiza- tion was incorporated according to the laws of the State.

The present church edifice, which is fifty by seven- ty feet. ground plan. and will seat seven hundred persona, was commented in October. 1555, and tin ished one year later. the builder. Hugh Sprout. doing the work for $2. 100. The present communi- cants of this congregation mumber one hundred and fifty-six.

Of the pastors of this church. Rev. Robert W. Oliver was the first. but he did not remain long preaching but once in the house completed in the autumn of 1513 -by reason of his wife becoming in. sane. In July. 1844. Rev. William P. Breaden" Was
