In September, 1868, Hector Brown, a colored man, who it was asserted had reached the age of one hun- dred and seven years, died in Marple. He had been a hired man in the Fawkes family, and his recol- lections were said to be very vivid of the war of the Revolution, so far as the incidents of that struggle came under his notiee.

At Springfield meeting-house is a small settlement known as Marple Post-office. on the line of Marple and Springfield townships. The land at this locality was sold, Dec. 31, 1742, to Robert Taylor, and in 1747 some to John Morris, a weaver, whose descendants

still own a portion of the tract. Prior to 1831 a store was kept at that location by William Edwards, who was succeeded in business there by Hampden and Burdsell. In 1831 E. R. Curtis established a store there, and in 1849 he was appointed postmaster, the office being established by the United States in that year and located in his store. He has continued the store to the present time, and has acted as postmaster for thirty-five years, the duties of which he is still discharging.

At the present post-village of Broomall, in 1798, a stone dwelling was built by Hugh and Rebecca Lownes, the date-stone,

being built into the walls of the house. It was licensed in October, 1800, as the Drove Tavern, David Reed being the first landlord. About 1832 a store was established at the cross-roads by Isaac Haldeman. In 1868 a post-office was established, and named Broom- all, in honor of John M. Broomall, the then member from the Seventh Congressional District. George Esrey was the first postmaster, and has been suc- ceeded by Bernard Hawley, Garrett Williamson, Samuel Moore, and Philip Moore, Jr., the present incumbent.

Presbyterian Church .- In 1834, before the organ- ization of the Presbyterian Church in Marple, John Lindsey, David Lyons, Daniel Conroy, and William Black, as trustees, bought of the heirs of John Craig one acre of ground at the cross-roads, a short distance from the Broomalls. The corner-stone of a church building was laid Ang. 4, 1834, by the Rev. John L. Grant. The present stone edifice was erected at a cost of $1834.73. It was completed May 17, 1835, dedicated June 1, 1835, and the Rev. Seth Bunnell preached there as a supply during the sum- mer. On the 27th of September, 1835, a church or- ganization was effected, with ten members, by the Rev. John L. Grant. On the 6th of December, 1835, the Rev. J. M. Bear was called to the pastorate. He was ordained and installed May 19, 1836. In Sep- tember, 1838, he resigned, and on Oct. 18, 1838, Rev. John McKnight, of the Presbytery. of Lewes, Del., was called. He continued in the duties of the pas- torate until 1844, when he resigned, to take effect April 9th of that year.

The Rev. Marcus E. Cross, then pastor of the Knowles Presbyterian Church, acted as a supply until 1852, when the Rev. A. Rood was chosen pastor and served until 1857. In the summer of that year the Rev. James C. Laverty became pastor, and remained in charge of the church until the spring of 1859. The Rev. Beriah B. Hotchkin was then called, and was installed in October of that year by the Third Presbytery of Philadelphia. He continued in charge

of the church for nineteen years, and died in the Presbyterian Hospital, Philadelphia, on Sunday the 13th of October, 1878, his death resulting from in- juries received the preceding August, when he had been knocked down by a runaway horse. He was extensively known among the people of his denom- ination, being connected with the Presbyterian Board of Education and Ministerial Association, a trustee of the Lincoln University, the Philadelphia corre- spondent of the New York Evangelist, and highly esteemed by his congregation, his ministerial breth- ren, and all who knew him. His remains lie in the graveyard beside his wife, and cut upon his tomb- stone are these words, " A morning without clouds."

The Rev. William Patterson was called to the vacant pastorate, and was installed on Nov. 13, 1879. By order of the Presbytery of Chester the Rev. R. M. Patterson, D.D., of Philadelphia, preached the ser- mon. President Rendall, of Lincoln University, charged the pastor ; Rev. Mr. Miller, of Bryn Mawr, charged the people ; and Rev. Mr. Robbins, of Media, presided and put the constitutional questions. Mr. Patterson is the present pastor of the church, which has a membership of one hundred and thirty-two.

Union American Episcopal Church .- On the road from Springfield to Providence, and near the southern line of the township, in the year 1838, a frame church building was erected by this religious body. On February 26th of the following year, the plot of ground on which the church had been erected was purchased of Charles Brown by William Fadler, Absalom Lockwood, Robert Warwick, and Selby Howard. A church organization had been perfected prior to the erection of the sanctuary, and services were held in private houses. The frame building was used until 1865, when the church purchased a plot of ground adjoining that building and erected the present stone edifice, which is forty by sixty feet. The church now numbers twenty-eight members, and is in charge of the Rev. Edward Brown.

Mills and other Industries .- In 1779, Isaac Maris owned a saw-mill on Darby Creek, at the mouth of Whetstone Run. In 1810 a plaster-mill was located there, and was operated in connection with the saw- mill. In 1826 it was in charge of George Maris, in 1829 it was operated by Edward Parker, and at the present time carried on by H. Maris.

In 1766, Joseph Heacock owned a half-interest in a saw-mill in Marple, after which date the name does not appear on the assessment-rolls until 1811, when Enoch Heacock was operating a saw-mill. After that year all trace of this mill disappears from the records.

In 1820, John Hunter erected a saw-mill on Darby Creek, above Ithan Creek, which was operated by John Wright, who purchased it prior to 1848. This mill has for many years ceased to be used in the manufacture of lumber.

In 1779, Joseph Burns owned and operated a saw-

mill in the township, but the locality of this mill has not been ascertained.

On the lands of Dr. Bernhardus Van Lear, on Trout Run, in 1820, was a mill-seat and a whetstone quarry. The water-power was at a more recent date used by Willett Paxson, who erected thereon a grist-mill, and lower down the same stream a cotton-factory, which was operated by a Mr. Blimder. On Aug. 22, 1848, the cotton-factory was partially destroyed by fire. Both mills are no longer in use. Abraham Jones, in 1800, erected a saw-mill in Marple, on Crum Creek, and in 1826 was operating at that locality a grist-mill and saw-mill. In 1848 the mills were owned by his widow, Ruth Jones. The saw-mill was located in Marple, while the grist-mill was in Upper Providence. They are now owned by Lewis Palmer. In 1810 a tan-yard was operated by Lewis and Abraham Morris on the farm now owned by James Williamson. In 1829 it was owned by Rebecca Fawkes and James Lewis and operated until about 1865, after which date the business was abandoned.

Thomas Pratt, in 1809 or '10, established a tan-yard in Marple, which he continued for a few years, when he relinquished the enterprise. In 1805, Joseph Rhoads located a tan-yard on the Rhoads farm, and in 1810 he associated George Rhoads in the business, which was continued until about 1850 and was abandoned.

In 1841, Benjamin Jones crected a pottery at the ninth mile-stone on the West Chester road, near the Buck Tavern. A few years ago, the pottery, proving unremunerative, was permitted to fall into disuse.

Schools .- About 1785 a school was established in Marple, but beyond that fact nothing has been learned of its location or how long it was maintained. Enoch Taylor and wife, on May 31, 1791, conveyed to Joseph Rhoads and David Hall one-quarter of an acre of land, on the west side of the Marple road, in trust for use of a school to be kept under the direction of the Ches- ter Meeting of the society of Friends. On December 20th, the same year, David Hall and wife conveyed to Edward Fell, Joseph Rhoads, and Samuel Pancoast another lot, adjoining the above, for the same purpose. On these lots a school-house was erected and used many years, but was finally abandoned about 1836. On De- cember 24th in that year, the school directors of the township purchased of John Grim forty square perches of land on which they erected a school-house, which was used in place of that on the Taylor lot.

In 1857 the directors sold the second school-house to Nathan W. Latcher, and a new building was erected on the old site and used until 1877, in which year the present brick house (known as No. 2) was erected.

On Aug. 28, 1877, the court authorized Chester Friends' Meeting to sell the old lot, which was pur- chased by Malachi Stone for one thousand dollars.

On March 21, 1818, John Craig, in consideration of one dollar and that a school-house should be erected on the lot, conveyed to Lewis Morris, John N. Moore, and George Thomas, trustees to carry into

effect that object, a piece of ground near Broomall. On that lot a stone house was erected and placed under the care of the trustees, who held it until the acceptance of the school law by the township, when it was transferred to the school directors. The house built in 1818 was used until 1855, when it was re- moved and the present two-story house erected.

On Feb. 22, 1837, a lot was purchased of Benjamin Garrett, and a stone house erected. The lot was con- veyed in "consideration of promoting the education and literary instruction of the youth resident in or belonging to the township of Marple." That building was used until the present stone house was erected in 1877 on the same lot, but nearer the road. The old house, however, is still standing, and the new building and the old one are known as the Cedar Grove School- House.

It will be observed in the account of the school- house at Broomall that trustees were appointed by the deed of John Craig to receive the title and exercise control over the house and lot. On March 18, 1825, most of the townships in the county elected trustees of schools, and George Rhoads, Henry Lawrence, and Clement Lawrence were elected for Marple. At that time there were two schools at least maintained in the township, one on the Craig lot, the other near the Rhoads farm. When the school law of 1834 became operative, the court appointed Dr. Walter Williamson and James Lewis inspectors of public schools until the directors were elected. In 1835-36 Marple re- ceived as her share of the public money assigned to the county, from State and county appropriations, seven hundred and seventy-nine dollars and forty-one cents.

The following is a list of the school directors of Marple township, so far as appear of record at Media :

1840, Samuel Bartram, William Nuzum ; 1842, Samuel Hale, Thomas Sheldon ; 1843, no report ; 1844, John S. Moore, Samuel Pancosst; 1845, Joseph Esrey, Thomse Steel, Jr .; 1846, Isaac Latch, Eber Lewis ; 1847, John B. Webb, Samuel Johnson ; 1848, James Lewis, James S.

Crimes and Accidents .- During the night of June 20, 1850, the barn on the farm of David Paxson was broken into and the throat of a valuable horse cut, so that he was found dead in his stall the next morning. The person who committed the act was never dis- covered.

On Wednesday, Sept. 23, 1868, Thomas Bryson, a shoemaker, and William Stinson, in an altercation respecting some chickens, began throwing stones at each other, when one hurled by Bryson struck Stin- son on the temporal bone, fracturing his skull, causing death in a few hours. At the November court follow- ing Bryson was tried, convicted of manslaughter, and sentenced to a period of two years' imprisonment.

On Thursday, Nov. 18, 1880, Mordecai W. Steel, wbile gunning for rabbits near his house, was acci- dentally shot by a companion. About to get over a fence, the latter endeavored to uncock his gun, when the hammer slipped from his thumb, the fowling-piece discharged, and the load entered the head of Steel, who was standing a few feet in advance. The wounded man died two days thereafter.

Licensed Houses .- In Marple township, before the old county of Chester was divided, no license to keep a public-house appears on record so far as I have dis- covered, and even after Delaware County was erected, no application to that end was presented until ten years had elapsed, when, July 29, 1799, Davis Reed, of Marple, represented to this court that he was "in the possession of a commodious, suitable, and neces- sary stand for a public-house, at the intersection of the road leading from Philadelphia to Lancaster by the way of West Chester, and that leading from the upper or northern part of the county to the borough of Chester." The signers who appear on his petition urged the court's approval warmly, for they " conceive that the stand or situation described in the above pe- tition to be very eligible and necessary for the pur- poses therein mentioned, and that on several accounts, some of the principal of which are the following, viz., First, on account of ite being so nearly central in the township, that it will on that account be convenient to transact the township's business at. And, secondly, we who reside in the upper part of the county are of the opinion that it would be a very necessary and requisite stage for the accommodation of such of us who have frequently to attend at the borough of Ches-

ter on public business, as there is no public-house for a considerable number of miles." They also certify that the petitioner "is a suitable person to conduct the business, and as such we take the freedom (with due submission) to recommend him to the favorable notice of your honorable court." The judges refused the application, but at the October term, 1800, the license was granted.

In 1804, Reuben Lewis succeeded Davis Reed as landlord of the inn, and in 1807 Thomas Mason petitioned for license at that house, and, for the first time, in that year, the name "Sign of the Drove" appears on the record.

It was in this year that Joseph Vogdes petitioned the court to be granted license for a house "on the State road leading from Philadelphia to West Chester and Strawsburgh to Lancaster;" and at the October session, 1807, he was allowed to keep a tavern at the place designated, where he continued until 1815, when John Worthington had license for that year. Joseph Vogdes, in 1816, resumed his position as "mine host" of the Buck, yielding the place, in 1819, to Thomas Temple, who continued the name Buck, but added to it the words "and Still." In 1822, John Jacob superseded Temple, to yield, in 1824, to John Jones, who dubbed the house the "Three Tuns Tavern." When John Jacob resumed control of the inn, in 1826, he restored the old title, "The Buck," cutting off all the additional words and ponderous names which had been bestowed so freely on the house in the preceding few years. In 1827, Charles Vogdes followed Jacob, and David Vandersmith took Vog- des' place in 1829. In 1830, Hugh Jones Brooks was landlord of the Buck, and the next year John Williams was the host of the inn. In 1833, Samuel Hale was granted license, and continued until 1854, when, during the next three years, the application was rejected, to be approved in 1858 to George Ball, and in 1859 to be again refused. In 1860, Charles H. Hale presented his petition, which was met by three remonstrances, and the last application to the court for the privilege legally to vend liquor in Marple was refused.

To return to the Drove Inn. In 1808, George Pearson followed Thomas Mason, to be substituted, in 1810, by George Levis. Martin Wise kept the house in 1812, and Mordecai Worrell the year fol- lowing. Christian Himes was landlord from 1815 to 1820, and his petition at the last date states that the tavern was a stone building, and had been licensed for twenty years. . Himes remained at the Drove for the two succeeding years, when, in 1823, John Frick's "laugh was ready chorus" to the oft-repeated jokes of the frequenters of the tavern. John Jacobs, who seemed to be constantly attracted to the house, in 1824 took Frick's place; and when Frick, in turn, in 1825 followed Jacobs, the latter, in 1827, was re- instated, to give place, in 1828, to Thomas B. Boyle. Mordecai Moore, in 1830, received the court's ap-

proval, as did also Mordecai Moore, Jr., in 1831, and annually thereafter until 1835, when John Smith put in an appearance. In 1836, Powell McAffee became the landlord of the Drove until 1842, when license was bestowed on the old inn for the last time.

The year previous to the breaking out of the second war with England the following petition was pre- sented to the Court of Quarter Sessions for the April term, 1811 :

"The petition of Isaac Burns, of the township of Marple, humbly present that the petitioner has discovered on his farm, in said township, about one mile north of the West Chester road, a mineral or chalybeate spring; that he has erected a bath-house and other improvements for the accommodation of those who wish to use the watere for the restor- ation of their health and others; that for want of the necessary accom- modatione for entertainment mauy persona may be deprived of the benefits of using the said waters. Your petitioner therefore requests the favor of your recommendation to the Governor to grant him a license to keep a house of public entertainment on hia farm, in said township, near the said springs, which he will endeavor to merit by keeping a good aud orderly house.

"We, the subscribers (twenty-two in number), do hereby recommend the above petitioner as a sober and orderly person, and request that the prayer of bis petition may be grauted."

This petition was accompanied by the following certificate :

"We, the aubecribers, do certify that having heard of the great vir- tues attributed to the mineral springs on the farm of Isaac Burna, in Marple township, have been induced during the last summer, and at various times previous thereto, to drink at and bathed in the waters, and by meana thereof have been greatly relieved, and in many inatancea entirely cured of our respective disordera.

" April 8, 1811.

"Samuel Lewis, relieved of a rheumatic pain in the arm and inflam- mation in one of his eyes.

"John Hortor, relieved of the inflammation in his eyes.

"George Lewis relieved of a sick stomach."

The court, however, refused to aid in the restora- tion of those unfortunates afflicted with all the ills of humanity, who on the granting of license to the springs, it was believed, would hasten thither for treatment, and rejected the petition, only to have it presented the next year, and to again turn the appli- cant unsatisfied away.

Six years afterwards, when Judge Wilson had re- signed, and Judge Ross was the president of our court, William Burns represented that " he has on his farm in Marple, about three-fourths of a mile off the West Chester road, and on a public road from the same, and leading upwards towards the Leopard Tavern, a mineral or Chalybeate spring, and that he has erected a bath-house and other improvements for the accommodation of those who wish to use the waters for the restoration of their health and others," but as the court six years before had coldly refused his father, Isaac, so the judges on this occasion turned their faces from the petition of the son, and thus for the last time on the records of the Quarter Sessions of Delaware County, is mention made of the Marple Spring of Health.

The Brooke House .- On the West Chester turn- pike-road, a short distance below Broomall, is the res- idence of George Brooke, an aged gentleman, a de-

scendant of Capt. William Brooke, of the Revolution. The house, which was erected in 1833, has never had a coat of paint since the year it was built, and yet the woodwork is in as good preservation as any build- ing of the like age in the county, notwithstanding the repeated assertions of painters that linseed-oil is absolutely necessary to prevent the decay of wood exposed to the air. Within this dwelling are many interesting relics. An old, tall eight-day clock still marks the passing hour, connected with which there is an interesting scrap of Revolutionary history. During one of the numerous raids of the British sol- diers in the winter of 1777-78 this old clock, which had then been in the family more than a half- century, was taken to Philadelphia by the English troops. A chest of drawers, which was made in 1736 and was fastened by peculiar and secret springs, baffling every effort of the red-coats to get access to its hidden recesses, is among the relics in the old man- sion. The eight-day clock, which was taken to Phila- delphia, after the British army evacuated that city was recovered by Capt. Brooke. During the time it was in other hands the cord supporting one of the weights was broken and tied, the knot thus made causing the old time-piece to run irregularly, but a small stone added to the weight overcame that diffi- culty, and for more than a hundred years it has so remained in constant use. A number of cannon-balls found at Valley Forge, and other relics of the Revo- lutionary war, are preserved among the historical treasures of the Brooke house.
