Forestville was purely a coal town, and a model one while the supply lasted. The buildings, erected there by the operators, are still standing ; but the majority of the miners have moved to other fields. In 1875 W. C. Bryson established a general store there. In the fire of 1881, he lost heavily; but rebuilt promptly and carried on business for some years. The general stores of R. C. Shields and Mrs. Jane Owens, were latter day business ventures,

H ARRISVILLE was surveyed in 1825 for Ephraim Harris, who began the sale of lots April 11 of that year. He was the first postmaster in the village, and was succeeded, in 1826, by his son, Samuel E. Harris. In 1833 the southern addition was surveyed, on Col. Robert Reed's farm, and named Reeds- ville, so that two towns form the foundation of the borough. Ezekeil Brady, the blacksmith, built a cabin, in 1800, on a tract of twenty-four acres of land which he entered that year. This traet was north of the village center, but on it the first business house was erected, and " Old Zeke" carried on his trade there from 1800 forward. James llartley made the first improvements on the Harris farm

in 1798, while Colonel Reed established his home and tavern on his farm in 1797. The tavern keeper, farmer and blacksmith were, therefore. the first invaders of the " prairie tract," or great Indian cornfield. In 1801 the Ephraim Harris store was opened ; in 1807 Henry Evans, the distiller, began tavern keeping and car- ried on the house for fourteen or fifteen years, when Harris purchased the okl log building. Two years after the survey of the town site, Maj. John R. Harris, son of Ephraim, established himself here as a merchant, built a carding mill, opened a tavern and continued in trade here until his death in 187-1.

Two years before John R. Harris began business, James Lee erected a little frame building in which be opened a stock of goods, and remained in trade until 1830, when he sold his interest to Jonathan McMillan. At that time William H. McGill carried on a blacksmith's shop; Thomas McElree was a cabinet maker ; James and William Forker were hatters; Samuel E. Harris and Wash- ington Parker had their little stores in operation ; James Kerr was clerk in the newly opened McMillan store, and John R. Harris kept tavern on the site of the modern Kerr House. Three years after John McCoy and Washington Parker erected their dwellings, and a little later William P. Brown established his cabinet shop, where he erected a second building in 1851.

From 1830 to 1847 signal progress was made here. Within a radius of three miles were ten distilleries and in the village four taverns. Whisky sold at twenty-five cents a gallon, and Josiah Hardy, John Dougherty, John Kerr and John R. Harris, the tavern keepers, enjoyed a large and decent trade ; for seldom did the villagers or visiting neighbors drink to excess. Even the Slippery Rock Light Infantry found the liquor pleasant to the taste, and knew better than abuse its use on training day; but Josiah Hardy, a thorough going Methodist, thought it required a good deal of grace to attend to business and religion without robbing God or Cæsar. Thompson Kyle came in 1845, and gave his attention to the development of the coal deposits.

In the sketch of Mercer township mention is made of the pioneer teachers and the statistics of the borough schools given. The first school established in Harrisville was in a frame building erected in 1880, and the first teacher was Samuel E. Harris. In 1833 Judge James Kerr was the teacher, and Chauncey Hamilton also taught several years. In April, 1856, a high school or academy was established here by W. Thomas, of West Sunbury Academy. The town has had for several years a good school building and a well conducted graded school.

Harrisville, in 1865, was made up of four stores, including T. W. Morrow's, a foundry purchased that year by Bingham, of Centreville, three blacksmith shops, G. W. Magee's carriage shop, one tannery, one pottery, one cabinet shop, three saddle and harness shops, three shoe shops, two temperance hotels, one grocery and one saloon. The professions were represented by three physicians, two common school teachers and one select school teacher, together with the pastors of the three churches in the village and of the United Presbyterian church one mile west of the village. The foundry previously mentioned was established in 1845 by Gilmer & Shaffer. The fire of June 6, 1872, destroyed Samuel Kerr's hotel and William Kirkpatrick's dwelling, on the cast side of the street, and threatened the whole town.

The King House was known as the Kerr House down to October 17, 1893, when E. A. King purchased the property from the Widow Kerr. It was carried on by Samuel Kerr for forty years prior to his death. The Central Hotel and other houses of entertainment have existed here until recent years.

The Kerr & Walker flouring mill at Harrisville was built in 1882 as a buhr mill, and opened by Seaton & Sutton, who operated it up to the spring of 1884, when E. A. King leased the concern. A brick smokestack was erected during King's lease. Struthers & Walker were the next lessees. The roller system was then introduced, and Samuel Porch became lessee, continuing until R. R. Walker purchased Judge Kerr's interests and leased it to S. R. Walker, who carried it on until 1894, when it was purchased by Samuel B. Bingham, the present proprietor.

The business interests in 1894 were represented by II. C. Black & Son, Robert Black, J. E. Curry. D. W. Humphrey & Company, L. R. Cummins, W. L. Morrison, E. S. Beatty, Samuel B. Bingham. R. L. Brown, A. G. Steen and J. M. Elrick ; while the J. G. Lagher general store is near Harrisville, and may be included as a local business house.

CHURCHES.

The United Presbyterian Church of Harmony may be said to date back to 1800, though not until November 10, 1802, did this society, then known as the Boiling Spring Church, with Scrubgrass and Cool Spring societies, unite in a call for a pastor. In December following, a call was extended to Rev. Thomas McClintock, a native of Ireland, and was accepted by him April 7, 1803. Thomas Matthews, William Gill, John Atwell and Alexander White were the first elders, and the predecessors of Thomas McElree, Samuel Cross, John Matthews, Sam- uel G. White, David Beatty and their successors. William Buchanan, Ebenezer Beatty and John Matthews were the first trustees. The sale of land on Swamp creek, to the members of the Harmony congregation-a branch of the Associate Synod of North America-was made September 5, 1807. On that date, Thomas McCoy deeded to Rev. Thomas MeClintock, pastor of the congregation, four acres-part of the original entry made by Duncan McSparrin, July 15, ISOT. The price paid was twelve dollars, and the conditions of sale were that the ground be used for a meeting-house and burial ground and be held in trust for the congre- gation. A log cabin was erected on the land for winter use, but being too small a larger log cabin was erected, which was used down to 1836, when a frame church 50 x 60 feet was built. In that structure services were held down to September 4, 1889, when the present stone and brick building, costing $11.000. was dedicated. Mr. McClintock died March 10. 1832, after a pastorate of thirty years. On May 27, 1835, Rev. William C. Pollock was ordained pastor and served until May 4, 1852. In December, of that year, Rev. Samuel Kerr. the present pastor, was ordained, to give his whole time to this church. In 1835, Ebenezer Beatty, Joseph Cross and Will- iam George were elected elders, and in 1840. Paden Craig. Edward MeElree and W. S. McClintock were chosen. Later, the names of nearly all the elders appear. with trustees. James Vincent, David McKee, Robert Shaw and William Bovard, of whom Mckee and Vincent, with George B. Cross, were chosen elders in 1853. In 1859 Joseph Brown, Gibson Vincent, R. G. Gilfillan and W. J. Vawn were elected ; in 1860, Alexander Brown ; in 1>63, George Cubbison ; in 1869, Hugh Braham, Alexander McCormick, W. P. Buchanan, and James B. Barnes, and in 1876, A. M. Barber,-William Black being the treasurer then as for many years before. In Rev. Samuel Kerr's minutes the church is credited with 280 members, and is in a very prosperous condition.

The Presbyterian Church of Harrisville was first organized in 1807 under the name of " Unity "-sometimes called " West Unity." The first meeting place was a tent at Rocky Springs, in which Revs. Samuel Tait and Robert Lee preached prior to 1812. It is related that during the War of 1812. while the sol- diers were on their way to Erie, Mr. Tait preached to them. the people from fifteen miles around coming to hear him.

The first permanent pastor, Rev. Cyrus Riggs, was installed April 6. ISHI, and continued to serve the congregation for twenty years. After his release. April 2, 1834, a division took place over the question of employing Rev. Joseph Johnston, a native of the north of Ireland, who came to Butler county from New Brunswick, Canada, and who, in 1832, was given a permit to preach in the Free-

port neighborhood. As the result of an effort on his part to "unionize " the church, a division took place, and an Associate Reformed congregation was formed under the name of West Unity Associate Reformed church.

In June. 1834, Rev. Loyal Young was sent to preach to that portion of the congregation adhering to the Presbytery. In 1837 the location of the church was fixed at Harrisville, and a new church building, now the Armory hall, erected. An old, hewn log church, said to have been erected by the Seceder congregation, stood in the present cemetery as late as 1847. when David Reed purchased the building and moved it to his farm.

The next pastor, Rev. John R. Agnew, was installed April 3. 1838, and served until October 21, 1845 or 1846. He was succeeded by the following pas- tors : Revs. John Moore, June 22, 1847, to November 13, 1849; Mead Satterfield, son of Rev. James Satterfield, one of the original members of the Presbytery, and a grandson of Gen. David Mead, founder of Meadville, from February 12, 1851 to his death. May 11, 1855; J. F. Boyd, June 22, 1856, to June, 1866; William D. Pat- ton, December 26, 1866, to June 27, 1877, when a vacancy of four years occurred ; John W. Fulton, September 13. 1881, to June 7, 1882. In November. 1SS5, Rev. Mr. Laverty came and served one year. Rev. James Rose came in April, 1887. and remained until October of the same year. The present pastor is Rev. Henry G. Blayney, who has a congregation of 114 members.

The Methodist Episcopal Church was organized in 1834 by Rev. William Carl, who, in that and the following year, established classes in this and neigh- boring townships, such as the Christly class, in Cherry. Among the early mem- bers were John McConnell, Josiah Hardy, Robert Walker, Robert Knowlton, Abner Gill and William H. McGill and their wives. The first public school house was tendered to the society for religious services. In 1842 a meeting house was erected, and ten years after the society boasted of 200 members. In 1869 seventy members moved westward and, with the exception of the periods of church revi- vals, the membership has seldom reached one-third of that number. It is in the Centreville charge.

SECRET SOCIETIES.

Harrisville Lodge, Number 2397, K. of HI., was organized May 21, Isst. Lamont Steen, the present reporter, states, that of the seventy members enrolled, since the institution of the lodge, only four have died. There are now twenty- six members.

7. C. McQuillen Post, Number 246, G. A. R., was mustered in May 12, 18^2, with the following named veterans : C. M. Brown, A. J. McCoy, Lemuel McGill, L R. Cummins, W. A. Roberts, W. Cochran, W. J.

M ARION township, named in honor of a Revolutionary hero, Gen. Francis Marion, though not one of the oldest settled divisions of this county, offered a home to the pioneers in 1800. Its width, east and west, is five and one-quarter miles, and length, five miles. Slippery Rock creek and its numerous feeders invaded this township ages ago, carved out water courses and converted the original table land into a broken country. From Murrinsville westward, the action of the waters is evidenced by remnats of the old rock, which lie like sentinels of the past in detached masses. Along the creeks the ferrifer- ous limestone is exposed and, in many localities, this rock approaches the sur- face. The general outcrop, however, shows the Freeport sandstone in high places and the Homewood rock in the creek bottoms. Upper Kittanning coal is found in veins of from two to three feet in thickness, under the Freeport lower sandstone and shale on the summits. At Murrinsville it is a pure cannel coal, equally as good as that found near North Washington. Below it. about 170 feet, a Brookville coal of equal thickness exists. About 120 feet below the can- nel, a ten feet bed of limestone, resting on forty feet of sandy shale, forms a cover for the Brookville coal. North of the site of McMurry's old mill the lime rock may be seen in massive blocks, ten to twenty feet square and twelve to six- teen feet in height. Below it is a fifty-five feet bed of sandstone and shale, cov- ering a three to five feet bed of Brookville coal of the same quality as was mined many years ago near the western line of Marion.

The oil sands of this section are rather shelly, as learned from the record of the Emerson & Bronson well, drilled in 1877, near McMurry's mill, and from 41

that of the Murrinsville wells of later days. Near the Catholic church is a fairly productive oil field, but, it may be said, that down to the spring of 1894, no thorough attempt had been made to develop this part of the Butler oil fleld. The elevation, at or near the crossing of the Murrinsville and Clintonville roads, is 1,400 feet ; at Murrinsville, 1,440 feet ; while a mile southwest of Murrinsville an elevation of 1,850 feet is found, and in the northwestern quarter of the town- ship one of 1,450 feet.

The population in 1860 was 789; in 1870, 850; in 1880, 1,086, and in 1890, 915. The assessed valute on January 1, 1894, was $252,849, on which a county tax of $1,011.89 and a State tax of $38.40 were levied.

PIONEERS.

In noticing the pioneers of this township, mention must be made of the quasi- trader, Daniels, who located near what is now Anandale station about the time that Studebaker and Snyder built their cabin in Worth township. le cleared a little tract of land, known to-day as " Daniel's garden," built his cabin and re- sided there until some drunken Indians warned him to leave. That he accepted the warning without conditions is a well-known fact, for within a few years the pioneers of what is now Venango township visited the spot and learned some- thing of its original settler.

Samuel McMurry is credited with being one of the first permanent settlers in the township. McMurry, who was a native of Down county, Ireland, deserted from the British army and fled to the United States. Before sailing he married a girl named Kelly. and. it is said, that she placed him in a barrel and had him shipped as a part of her baggage. In 1798 this couple entered the wilderness of Slippery Rock, in this township, and selected a home near the creek, not far dis- tant from " Daniel's garden." There his faithful wife died in 1803 or 1804, and there, also, he found another comforter in Mrs. Isabella ( Moorhead ) Hartley, widow of James Hartley, who settled near Harrisville in 1796 and died in 1802.

John Vincent, Sr., a native of Ireland, purchased a tract of 100 acres of land in what is now Marion township, in 1796, on which he settled in 1798, and where he died March 18, 1847. John Vandyke came about the same time. and resided here till his death in 1850, in his eighty-eighth year.

John and Jane Black, both natives of Ireland, located near to McMurry cabin in 1799. In 1825 he built a saw mill and later a grist mill on the middle branch of Slippery Rock, long known as Black's mills. He died here in 1832, leaving numerous descendants.

Robert Waddle came from Westmoreland county in 1800, and took up 400 acres of land in this township. His sons were Thomas, James, Samuel, William, Robert and John, who assisted him in clearing and improving his homestead. Both he and his wife, Berthia Orbison, died here. Robert Seaton, with his wife and three children, settled north of the creek, west of Waddle's, in 1500, and founded the Seaton family of Butler county.

William, Robert and Samuel Black were here in ISOB. Hugh Gilmore and Joseph Blakeny, natives of Ireland, settled here about the same time. Robert Cochran, Sr., owned 150 acres of land and two cows that year. Alexander Gil-

043

christ owned two cows; Robert Read carried on a tannery near the township line, and John Walsh had 400 acres of land. Joseph Porter, who married Martha Vandyke in 1817, located lands the same year on the south line of this township and made his home here. Alexander Mortland, a native of Ireland, came here from Juniata county, Pennsylvania, in 1806, and settled on and improved a tract of land near the site of Murrinsville. George Ray, Sr., who was born in Fairview township, Butler county, in 1802, came to Marion town- ship in 1810, and made his home with his uncle, George Ward, at that period one of the largest land owners in the township.

Robert Atwell, a native of Ireland, who settled in Scrubgrass township, Venango county, prior to 1800, moved into Marion township in 1816. He cleared and improved a farm on which he lived until his death in 1840. Jacob Kellerman brought his family from Huntington county in 1818, built a cabin in this township and resided here until his death in 1869. James Dugan, who brought his family here from Down county, Ireland, in 1816, sought a home and found it here in 1820. William Gilchrist and family arrived from Ireland in 1819, and located near Samuel McMurry's cabin.

Others, pioneers of the county, moved into this township at an early day and shared. with the actual vanguard of the settlers, the labor of developing this rich agricultural district. Among them may be mentioned James llartley, Jr., born near Harrisville, in 1800; James McDermott, born in Fairview township in 1804 : William Farren, born in this county in 1807, and one or more of the Mur- rins, natives of the adjoining township of Venango.

PAST AND PRESENT INDUSTRIES.

Ray's mill may be considered a Marion township industry. Built early in the century by General Campbell of Revolutionary fame, it was the hope of the pioneers, and for years after it fell into the hands of the Rays it was an import- ant industry. Mc Murry's grist mill and distillery were established as early as 1810; but his linseed oil mill and carding mill, farther south, in Cherry township, were not established until 1830. Robert Seaton erected a fulling mill in 1815, and subsequently a tannery, both of which he carried on almost down to the period of his death, in 1852.

The Black saw mill was erected near the meeting of the branches of the Slippery Rock, close to the south line of the township, in 1825. He later estab- lished a grist mill there, so that in addition to opening a farm, Jobn Black gave to the young settlement two substantial industries, known as Black's mills, as tes- timonials to his quarter century's citizenship. William Evans owned a saw mill and an iron furnace, which he carried on in connection with a general store, until 1856, when Liddell & Kepler purchased his interests.

The Marion furnace was established in 1850 by James Kerr and Robert Breaden, who conducted it until 1862. Ore was found in abundance and the charcoal used in smelting was manufactured there.

Sproul's steam grist mill at Anandale station, was built in 1878 by Hugh and E. G. Sproul, and was operated under lease or share for a short term, when E. A. King, now of Harrisville, leased the concern and operated it until 1880.

644

meantime taking in the Sproul Brothers. In 1883 he became superintendent for the owners. It is a well equipped roller-mill in every respect.

SCHOOLS AND JUSTICES.

One of the first schools in the township was presided over by David C. Cun- ningham in the second decade of this century. He taught in the old log church of the Presbyterians, where West Unity United Presbyterian church now stands, for many winters. John Walsh taught at Seaton's fulling mill. Nancy Brecken- ridge " held school" in various places, and when Unity church was built, in 1825, Lydia Waters is said to have taught school there. There are now six buildings devoted to instruction of children in the township. The number of male pupils enrolled in 1893 was 116 and female 115-the total receipts for school purposes being $1,943.06.

The justices of the peace for Marion township elected from 1854 to 1894 are named as follows : John Black, 1854: Joseph Cummins, 1855 and 1860: Will- iam Black, 1859, 1869 and 1878; John Kerr, 1864 and 1870; Dickson Atwell, 1865: William Carson, 1873; Thomas Gilmore, 1874; J. K. Vincent, 1878; John Murrin, 1853 and ISSS; R. A. Hartley. 1883; C. McFadden, 184; John McDowell, 1586; J. T. Black, 1887 and 1892; Newton Mortland, 1894.

VILLAGES.

Murrinsville was surveyed in 1828 for 'Squire John Murrin on the western slope of the Allegheny-Beaver divide, at a point 1,440 feet above ocean level, near the eastern line of Marion township. On December 19, 1825, the owner advertised a sale of lots, which took place in January, 1829. The Catholic church, the pastor's residence, the McBride and Gormley stores, the postoffice, two or three dwellings, a large farm house, and an old weather-beaten building constitute the present hamlet. The Murrin settlement is in the valley east of the village, and around the village in this and Venango townships are the old homes of pioneer families. On the Marion side of the line is the large, well-stocked store of J. Il. Gormley, and on the Venango side the old McBride store.
