Newtown Square Lodge, No. 95, Independent Order of Odd-Fellows, was instituted in 1879, and holds its meetings in the wigwam of the Red Men. The first officers of the lodge were Jonathan F. Fairlamb, N. G .; J. Jones Leedom, V. G. The present officers are James J. Sproul, N. G .; Henry D. Crosley, V. G .; Isaiah Massey, Sec. The lodge has now thirty-eight members in good standing.

Old Newtown Square .- At the cross-roads, where John Pratt now resides, northwest from the present Newtown Square, is located Old Newtown Square. The land was in the possession of the Lewis family many years. John Lewis, who died in 1851, aged eighty-one years, was born there, and was the last of the name owning the estate, which passed to his daughter, Mrs. Pratt. Newtown Street road, laid out in 1683, and the Goshen road crosses the former highway at this point. Here for many years a licensed house was maintained, and was so kept during and long subsequent to the Revolutionary war. Above the old square, in July, 1883, St. David's post-office was established. Joseph Lewis, Jr., is the postmas- ter. At this place is a store kept by Joseph Lewis, Jr., a blacksmith-shop, and a school-house.

Newtown Square .- The present hamlet derived its name at the time the postal department established an office there, about 1820. Davis Beaumont, the first postmaster, was the landlord of the Farmers' Wagon, the title being then changed to Newtown Square Inn. The land in the neighborhood was then owned by the Beaumont family, and the hotel there has been yearly licensed to the present time, excepting during the years of local option. The postmasters since Beaumont have been David Pratt, Walter Green, Elwood Baldwin, Leedom Kirk, Isaac Halderman, Jr., Leopold Samter, the present official. The latter now has the store at the Square, which was located there many years ago. The town hall, a two- story building, was erected in 1868. The lower floor is used as a carriage-shop, and the upper story is ar- ranged for a public hall, and as a lodge-room for the societies of Red Men and Odd-Fellows.

Schools .- One of the earliest schools in Delaware County was maintained at Old Newtown Square early in the last century. It was used for educational pur- poses in 1750, for Benjamin West, a lad of twelve, at-

tended school there in that year. It was a log build- ing, the rude desks being fastened to the sides of the house, and many generations of pupils had carved their names, and cut deep gashes in the unpainted wood in idle moments. Until within a half-century a copy-book was in existence in which young West, " while at school at Newtown Square, had drawn nu- merous pictures of various animals, etc., and there is a tradition that these were made in the way of com- pensation for assistance giveu him in arithmetic by another school-boy named Williamson, the owner of the book, the youthful artist not having much taste for figures."1 This log house in time became so di- lapidated that in 1815 it was removed, and a similar building erected, which remained in use until after 1820. Stephen D. Hunter was a student in this log house, which stood below Newtown Square, on lands of Jonathan Hood. No trace of the building now remains.

In the extreme northeastern section of the town- ship, near St. David's Church, on a knoll in front of the sanctuary, a stone school-house was erected in 1749, and remained until within recent years, when it was removed. It was warmed by a wood fire built on a hearth, and a high chimney-stack being con- structed to afford a large wide-mouthed fireplace. Perhaps school was taught therein by Rev. Dr. Wil- liam Currie, who was pastor of Radnor Church before, for a part of, and after the Revolutionary war, al- though it is said "Dr. Currie did not teach a regular school, but employed his leisure in instructing his own children, and admitted the son of his friend to his pa- ternal care."2 School was kept therein until 1820. In 1817, Caleb Y. Lewis was a pupil there, at which time Elijah Brooke was the teacher.

About 1815 Friends of Newtown Meeting erected a one-story octagon school-house on the meeting-house lot. The school was maintained by subscription, as was usual in early days, and on the death of Dr. Jonas Preston, in 1836, by will he charged his real estate in the township with the annual payment of two hundred dollars towards the support of this school. The building is still used for school purposes by the society, the Preston fund paying the salary of the teacher. After the school law of 1834 became opera- tive, there being no school-houses in the township other than the one owned by the society, application was made by the directors for its use, but the request was denied.

On Aug. 11, 1836, the directors purchased of Joseph Lindsay a lot of ground on the West Chester road, above Newtown Square, on which they erected a stone octagon school-house, which was continued in use for many years, until the present stone building, known as "Chestnut Grove Seminary," was built to take its place.

The demand for public schools in the township was such that on July 23, 1839, the directors bought from Isaac Thomas a piece of land located on the road leading from St. David's post-office to Berwyn, and erected a stone school-house, which continued in use until 1870, when a lot on the Leopard road, at St. David's post-office, was purchased, the present stone house erected in the same year, and the old building abandoned for school purposes.

Israel Foulk, on Jan. 11, 1841, donated a lot of land on the west side of the West Chester road, east of Newtown Square, on which to erect a school-house, the deed providing that in case the ground ceased to be used for school purposes it should revert to his heirs. On this lot a stone octagon school-house was erected, and was nsed for a quarter of a century, but for a number of years has been abandoned by the directors.

Newtown Friends' Meeting-House .- The first reference to a Friends' Meeting in Newtown occurs in the minutes of Haverford Monthly Meeting, dated Eleventh month 14, 1696, wherein it is recorded that " William Lewis and some friends having pro- posed to this meeting to settle a meeting at Newtown, they were left to their freedom therein." Before the close of the year, or, as we now compute the year, early in 1697, Thomas Jones was ordered "to acquaint friends of Chester Meeting that the meeting lately settled at Newton is done wth ye consent of this meet- ing in order to have their approbation therein." What action, if any, was taken by Chester Meeting at that time does not appear, but three years after-

wards Chester Quarterly Meeting, on Third month 12, 1701, expressed strong disapproval, stating, "This meeting being dissatisfied that a meeting is sett up at Newtowne without the approbation of this Quarterly meeting, the meeting, therefore, orders John Blunston & Walter ffaucet to go to Haverford months meeting and request them that the said meeting be not Continued without the Approbation of this Qrly Meeting." The protest of Chester Meet- ing appears not to have been effective in discontinu- ing the meeting in Newtown, and the subject was brought before the Yearly Meeting of Friends, which decided that the meeting should continue as it then was, hut " for the future ye said Welsh friends may . set up no meeting further wthin the said county of Chester without the approbation" of Chester Quar- terly Meeting having been first obtained. Thus the matter rested for five years, until First month 25, 1706, when William Lewis, of Newtown, and Daniel Williamson appeared at Chester Monthly Meeting, asking that Newtown Meeting should be joined with Chester Monthly and Quarterly Meeting, and Caleb Pusey and Joseph Baker were ordered to attend at the next Newtown Monthly Meeting "to signify our willingness if they consent to it." The following month Pusey and Baker reported that they had been to Haverford Meeting in relation to the joining of Newtown Meeting with Chester, and that Haverford Meeting had referred the matter to further considera- tion. At the Providence Quarterly Meeting on Sixth month 5, 1706, it was "agreed between Philadel- phia Qrlly Meeting & this that Newtowne friends shall, for the future, belong to Chester Monthly Meeting and to this Qrlly Meeting." The persons then compris- ing Newtown Meeting, we learn from a general certifi- cate present at Providence Sixth month 26, 1706, were William Lewis, Sr., Lewis Lewis, Evan Lewis, Wil- liam Lewis, Reese Howell, William Bevan, William Thomas, " with Recommendation for Peter Thomas." At this time Newtown Monthly Meeting was held at the house of Lewis Lewis. On Fifth month 28, 1707, a request was presented to Providence Quarterly Meeting asking that the place of meeting might be removed to Evan Lewis', which desire was acceded to. The date at which Friends in Newtown acquired title to the burial-lot does not appear ; but it was cer- tainly prior to 1710, for, on Eighth month 30, 1710, "Newton meeting Laid before the meeting their In- tentions of building a meeting house by friends burial yard in Newtown," which met the approval of Friends of Providence. The building was not completed, we learn, until near the close of the following year, for on Eighth month (October) 29, 1711, the minutes of Providence Meeting show that the Friends in New- town "signifie that their meeting house is neare finished, and Desire that their meeting may be Re- moved from Evan Lewis' to the meeting house, which this meeting approves of," thus Newtown meeting- house, built in 1711, became the tenth Friends' meet-

ing-house erected in the present county of Delaware. How the building was warmed for the first few years is unknown, but in 1715 a stove, bearing the inscription, " Mordecai Persol, Rebecca Furnace," and the date mentioned dispelled the chilly air in Newtown meet- ing- house, and did so for over a century and a half until 1876, when it was removed and taken to the Centennial Exhibition. The present Friends' meet- ing-house was erected in 1791.

Seventh-Day Baptist Church and Burial-Place. -This society was composed of Friends who first adhered to the tenets taught by George Keith, sub- sequently became converts to the doctrines of the Baptist Church. The first Seventh-Day Baptist in Pennsylvania is said to have been Abel Noble, who came to the province in 1684, at which time he was a Friend. When George Keith first began to an- nounce his opinions, among the earliest persons to accept his teachings was Noble, and he it was who gave shape to the Keithian Baptist form of religious observances, for which they were distinguished from other societies,-such as distinguishing the days and months by numerical names, adhering to plainness of language and dress, and abstaining from swearing or fighting. On June 28, 1697, Abel Noble baptized Thomas Martin, a public Friend, in Ridley Creek, and afterwards Thomas Martin baptized other Qua- kers,-Thomas Powell, Evan Harry, Hugh Harry, John Palmer, Judith Calvert, David Thomas, and others, to the number of nineteen in all,-who, on Oct. 12, 1697, were incorporated, and on that day pro- ceeded to choose a minister by lot. Three persons were nominated,-William Buckingham, Thomas Budd, and Thomas Martin,-and the latter was chosen. From 1697 to 1700 other Quakers were baptized,-William Thomas, Richard Buffington, Elizabeth Thomas, Jane Phillips, David Phillips, Elizabeth Hall, Rees Price, and others,-some of whom lived in other parts of the country. In 1700 a difference arose among the so- ciety touching the observance of the Sabbath-day, a separation took place, and such of those who ad- hered to the observance of the Sabbath-day pre- served the organization of a society at Newtown, and held their meetings at the house of David Thomas, now the dwelling of William R. Calvert. On Jan. 30, 1717, Thomas Thomas, of Newtown, conveyed half an acre of land, on Newtown Street, in consider- ation of fifteen shillings, to Philip Rhytherach, Henry Lewis, and David Thomas, all of Newtown, as a burial-place for the members of the society of Seventh- Day Baptists. The land had originally been owned by William Thomas, father of Thomas Thomas, who settled there in 1698. The Yearly or May Meetings were held on the lawn in front of David Thomas' house. In 1770 the society still held its meetings at the house of David Thomas. Three families, belong- ing to Newtown, were then in membership, and in that year the following persons were baptized : David Thomas, John German, Hazrael Thomas, Ruth

Thomas, Priscilla Wayne, Elizabeth Wayne, and Mary Gilkey. Within the limits of the present Bap- tist churchyard at Newtown, separated from the par- sonage and church-lot by a picket-fence, is the old burial-ground. In time the families of Lewis and Rhy- therach, by death and removal, were unrepresented in this section, and the title remained in the Thomas family, by whom it was sold within comparatively recent years to the congregation of the present Baptist Church. From among the inscriptions on the grave- stones in this ancient God's acre we have copied the following :

Jane Thomas, 7th mo. 23d day, 1730 (Nov.) aged 55.

David Thomas, 9th mo. 17th day, 1734, aged 64.

Margaret Iddinge, Nov., 1735, aged 84 years.

Richard Iddings, May 3, 1753, aged 78 years.

" Elizabeth Wayne, daughter of Humphrey, and Priscilla Wayne, Aug. 28, 1738, aged 13 years 7 mo.

" I am not saved By works of mine, But by the grace That is Devine."

" Priscilla Wayne, wife of Humphrey Wayne, June 11, 1781, aged 74 years."

"William Wayne, son of Humphrey & Priscilla Wayne, Apl. 23, 1752, aged 3 yrs. 7 mo.

" My Infants Race Was Ran Apace, By God's free Grace I En Joy Peace."

David Thomas, Apl. 14, 1789, aged 79 yeare. Ruth, wife of David, Feby. 20, 1792, aged 60 years.

Col. David Thomae, 1839, aged 84 years.

Margaret Thomas, Nov. 9, 1811, aged 24 years.

Elizabeth Wayne, the mother of Gen. Anthony Wayne, who is believed to have been a Thomas, in her will directed tombstones to be placed at the graves of four of her children who were buried in this yard. A large, flat, gray slab, resting upon four columns of gray stones, covers the remains of Elizabeth Wayne, and bears the following inscription :

" Dedicated to the memory of Elizabeth Wayne, relict of Isaac Wayne, Esquire, who departed this life in the month of May, 1793, aged 84 years.

"She was a woman of distinguished piety and benevolence."

Newtown Baptist Church .- This church is over fifty years old, having celebrated its semi-centennial or "jubilee anniversary" on Thursday, Nov. 9, 1882. It is known that H. G. Jones, Joseph H. Kennard, William S. Hall, and others, held religious meetings in this vicinity before the Newtown Baptist Church came into existence. In October, 1832, a number of the members of different Baptist Churches residing in Newtown township and the regions about, at a considerable distance from their own places of wor- ship, decided upon organizing a new church. For this purpose they met at the residence of Deacon Samuel Davis in Haverford. There were present H. G. Jones, of Lower Merion; D. A. Nichols, of Rox- borough; R. Gardiner, of Goshen, ministers; and Samuel Davis and John Kinzey, of Lower Merion; and Spicer Jones, of Great Valley, laymen. It was agreed that Saturday, the 10th of November, 1832,

should be the day on which the contemplated church should be organized. Invitations were sent to a num- ber of the clergy of the Baptist denomination to be present. On the day appointed they met at the resi- dence of Dr. Gardiner, of Newtown, and were organ- ized as a council.

It was unanimously agreed that a church ought to be organized. Letters of dismissal were read from several churches, dismissing the following seven per- sons who constituted the new church, viz .: Rev. Dr. Richard Gardiner and his wife Hannah, Eliza C. Cheyney, John Kinzey and his wife Mary, Harriet Lewis, and Eli Baugs. A church covenant and ar- ticles of faith were agreed to and signed, and the right hand of fellowship was then extended to Dr. Gardiner on behalf of the church. In the evening of the same day Rev. H. G. Jones preached a sermon to the little · flock, and also on the following day (Sunday). During the first year twelve persons were baptized, and eleven were received into the church by letter. Meetings were held before a church was built in the upper part of Dr. Gardiner's carriage-house, and the Misses Gar- diner organized a Sunday-school which was held at their father's house.

In January, 1834, Rev. Samuel J. Creswell was or- dained to the ministry, and installed as pastor of the church. Early in the same year an acre of ground was purchased from Dr. Gardiner for one hundred and thirty-six dollars, he donating thirty dollars of that amount, and a house of worship was erected upon it at a cost of about two thousand dollars, which was dedicated Aug. 30, 1834, Rev. H. G. Jones, of Lower Merion, preaching the sermon. In June, 1834, Robert Compton was appointed by the Board of Pennsyl- vania Missions to labor with the church, and eight months later Daniel Trites superseded him. In 1839, the church, having in the mean time grown consider- ably, purchased the property of Thomas Phillips, then occupied by the pastor, Rev. Daniel Trites, for two thousand dollars. In 1840 the church reported a membership of one hundred and thirty-seven, and a Sunday-school of ninety-five.

After the Rev. Daniel Trites resigned the pastor- ship, in 1840, the pulpit was supplied by various min- isters and laymen until Oct. 17, 1842, when Rev. Henry Essick was chosen pastor. From that time to the present the pastors have been as follows : 1845, Rev. David Phillips; 1846-49, supplies ; 1849-59, Rev. R. Compton ; 1859-64, Rev. John Owen; 1864- 65, Rev. Samuel Cox; 1865-66, supplies ; 1866-68, Rev. C. F. Steinman ; 1869, supplies ; 1870-74, Rev. J. T. Bender ; 1874-77, Rev. E. M. Heyburn ; 1877- 84, Rev. J. L. Sagebeer; July, 1884, Rev. Frank Shirmer.

During the fifty-two years of the existence of the church about four hundred and twenty persons have been baptized, and about one hundred and fifty re- ceived by letter. The present membership is about one hundred and fifty.

St. David's Church .- The quaint Episcopal Church building commonly designated " Old Radnor," located at the extreme northeastern limits of Newtown town- ship, in point of age antedates all the ecclesiastical structures in Delaware County excepting Haverford Friends' meeting-house. The plain, stone edifice has been kindly treated by time, which has covered and beautified its external walls with luxuriant ivy, while the towering trees which cluster on the hillsides im- part to the scene a picturesque appearance rarely to be met with in any part of the United States. A rough stone stairway, on the outside of the building, leads to the tiny gallery within, and adds attractive- ness to the picture. Longfellow, in an interview with a newspaper correspondent, in 1881, most happily ex- pressed the feeling of veneration a sight of the ancient structure was calculated to arouse in a medi- tative mind. "I was stopping," he said, in relating the story of his poem, 'Old St. David's at Radnor,' at Rosemont, and one day drove over to Radnor.

Old St. David's Church, with its charming and pic- turesque surroundings, attracted my attention. Its diminutive size, peculiar architecture, the little rec- tory in the grove, the quaint churchyard, where Mad Anthony Wayne is buried, the great tree which stands at the gateway, and the pile of gray stone which makes the old church, and is almost hidden by the climbing ivy, all combine to make it a gem for a fancy picture." 1

The exact date when the church organization was effected at Radnor is not now known. But certain it is that a congregation had been established there in 1700; for in the letter written by Rev. Evan Evans, and dated London, Sept. 18, 1707, addressed to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in For- eign Parts, giving an account of the state of the church in Pennsylvania, the writer says, " But Mont- gomery and Radnor, next to my own beloved Phila- delphia, had the most considerable share in my la- bours, where I preached in Welsh once a fortnight for four years, till the arrival of Mr. Nichols, minister of Chester, in 1704."2 The certificate given by the church wardens of Radnor, dated June 29, 1719, to Rev. Dr. Evans, distinctly set forth "that the Rev. Dr. Evans has preached the gospel at Radnor, at the house of Mr. William Davis, one of the subscribers, once a fortnight from November, in the year 1700, all the time he was resident in Philadelphia, without any reward from us; and since his return from Eng- land, which was on the 22d day of March, 1716/7, until the latter end of June past, he preached at St. David's Church, at Radnor."3 Tradition asserts that a log church was erected early in the seventeenth century, and the ruins of such a structure on the property of Tryon Lewis, formerly owned by William

Davis, is thought to be the remains of this early sanctuary, which was so constructed that it could be used as a garrison in the event of any hostile demon- stration on the part of the Indians during divine ser- vices. In 1708, in Oldmixon's "British Empire in America," reference is made to a church congregation in Radnor. "Within land," he says, "lies Radnor or Welsh town, finely situated and well built, con- taining near 50 families. In this place is a congre- gation of the Church of England-men, but no settled minister."1 In the letter of the Rev. Dr. Evans, be- fore mentioned, he further states, "The Welsh at Radnor and Merioneth, in the province of Pennsyl- vania, having a hundred hands to their petition for a minister to be settled amongst them that understands the British language, there being many ancient people among these inhabitants that do not understand the English ; and could a sober and discreet man be pro- cured to undertake that mission, he might be capable, by the blessing of God, to bring in a plentiful harvest of Welsh Quakers, but were unhappily prevented before any minister in holy orders that could preach to them in their own language was sent into Penn- sylvania ; but I believe that they are not irrecov- erable, had they an itinerant missionary who would use application and diligence to introduce them to the communion of the church."

The ultimate result of the petition, which was supple- mented in 1712 by other representations of the people of the neighborhood, in which Rev. John Humphreys, then missionary in charge of St. Paul's parish, at Chester, joined, was the appointment of John Clubb, a Welshman, who had been a schoolmaster in Phila- delphia. He had occasionally conducted services at Radnor, aud was appointed in 1714 missionary to Rad- nor and Oxford Churches. At the time he was given this charge John Clubb was in England, sailing shortly after to assume the duties of ministering to the con- gregations at these stations. He reached Philadelphia in the latter part of August of that year, and reported to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, that the " people of Radnor," on the 7th of September "had met me [him] unanimously upon the day appointed . .. and at the same time heartily engaged to build a handsome stone church. They subscribed that day a tolerable sum towards the carry- ing of it on, and obliged themselves to make it good; and for the rest I shall use all the means I am able to effect by collection." The fund being raised, it is as- serted by tradition considerable diversity of opinion was manifested respecting the site of the church, some of the contributors contending for the present location, while others desired it should be built on a lot of fif- teen acres, near the junction of Sugartown and Reese- ville roads. The fact that a good spring of water was near by the present sitc, ultimately turned the scale, and the work of building the church was earnestly
