the poor; Henry White and David Lindsey, super- visors of roads ; Benjamin Wells and James Black- stone, appraisers of damages.

For several years after 1785 the jurisdiction of the justices of the peace was Tyrone and Bullskin. The earliest justices for Tyrone of whom any record is found were Jacob Stewart (term commenced March 31, 1787) and James Blackstone, April 18, 1798. After Blackstone's, the following names of justices having jurisdiction in Tyrone prior to 1840 are gatlı- ered from records in the recorder's office, viz .:

Stewart H. Whitehill, Bullskin and Tyrone, Aug. 12, 1823; Hugh Torrance, Bullskin, Tyrone, and Con- nellsville, March 17, 1824; Herman Gebhart, Bull- skin, Tyrone, and Connellsville, April 20, 1829; Henry W. Lewis, Bullskin, Tyrone, and Connells- ville, Aug. 16, 1831 ; Matthew Wray, Bullskin, Tyrone, and Connellsville, May 4, 1837.

From the year 1840 the list is much more nearly complete, but by no means entirely so, on account of the obscurity of records and election returns. It is as follows :

ERECTION OF UPPER AND LOWER TYRONE.

The division of old Tyrone into the townships of Upper and Lower Tyrone was effected in 1877 in the manner detailed below.

At the September term of the court of Quarter Sessions in 1876 the following petition was presented to the court, viz. :

" The inhabitants of Tyrone township plead to have the said township of Tyrone divided by a line com- mencing at a point on the Youghiogheny River at the mouth of a small stream at the upper end of Brown & Cocbran's coke-ovens; thence north 1}º west 718 perches to a point on the top of a hill in Joseph Strickler's field, northwest of his house; thence north 13º west 194 perches to a point on Jacob's Creek. And therefore praying the court to appoint proper persons to view the same, etc."

On the 16th of September; 1876, the court appointed A. G. Gilmore, Blair Francis, and Thomas J. Butter- more commissioners to inquire into the propriety of granting the prayer of the petitioners. An order was issued to the commissioners Nov. 14, 1876, and returned December 16th the same year with their report and | plat attached marking the proposed division of the township as prayed for. On the 13th of March, 1877, remonstrances were filed and continued until June session of court 1877. At this session the commis- sioners made a return of their proceedings to Decem- ber session, 1876, at which time they were continued to March session, 1877, and again continued to June session, 1877. The return was favorable to the divi- sion of the township of Tyrone, and the commis- sioners reported that in their opinion it would be an advantage and convenience to the inhabitants of the township to divide it by the following lines, viz. :

"Beginning at a point on the Yonghioghecy River at the mouth of a small stream at the upper end of Brown & Coch- ran's coke-works ; thence north 1}º west 732 perches to a locust- tree on the top of a hill in Joseph Strickler's field, north of his house ; tbence north 13º west 205 perches to a point on Jacob's Creek, the last line running north 13º west, if continued into Westmoreland County would run into a frame house owned and occupied by John Cottem. The court orders a vote of the qualified electors of said Tyrone township on the question of the division of said township according to said line; and the court further orders that the election officers of said township

shall hold an election for that purpose at the place fixed by law for holding township elections in said township on the 17th day of August, 1877, between the hours of 7 o'clock A.M. and 7 o'clock P.M., and make return of said election according to Jaw."

In accordance with this order of the court an elec- tion was held with the following result, viz .: For a division of the township, two hundred and eighty-one votes; against a division thereof, one hundred and seventy-eight votes. Thereupon, on the 5th of Sep- tember, 1877, the court ordered and decreed that said township be divided agreeably to the line marked and returned by the commissioners, and, further, "that the name of the township lying in the east of said division line shall be Upper Tyrone, and that the name of the township lying in the west of said divis- ion line shall be Lower Tyrone."

The following-named persons were and have been elected to the offices indicated in the two townships from their organization to the present time:

Upper Tyrone .- 1879. Assessor, Jesse Herbert ; Auditor, J. S. Newcomer. 1880. Assessor, Samuel Eicher ; Auditor, J. C. Brownfield. 1881. Justice, John W. Stillwagon; Judge, J. C.

RELIGIOUS WORSHIP.

TYRONE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHI.1

Among the early settlers in this part of Western Pennsylvania were many of the Scotch-Irish, a brave, hardy, industrious, thrifty, independent people, with strong Presbyterian attachments. When Rev. James Power first visited this region on his missionary tour in 1774 he found the Smiths, the Vances, the Chains, the Stewarts, and others. Among them were three sons and two daughters of one godly woman who was married twice in Cumberland County, Pa., where she died. Her oldest son, Barnett Cunningham, came from Peach Bottom Valley, A.D. 1770, with his wife, Anna Wilson, to whom he had then been married ten years. He had been preceded a short time by his eldest sister, Margery, wife of Col. Joseph Huston, and the mother of a numerous family. About 1770 to 1772 their half-brother, James Torrance, followed

with his wife and one small child. Of the family, William Cunningham and Ann, wife of Robert Clark, probably came about the same time. The farms of a number of these were contiguous to each other, and near where the church now stands, and perhaps this fact, as much as any other, determined the site of the first house of worship, if not the very existence of Tyrone Church.

That Dr. Power preached here on his missionary tour there is little doubt, but the statement published in the Presbyterian Advocate in October, 1854, that he "then organized Tyrone Church, baptized Barnett Cunningham's child, and ordained him and his half- brother, James Torrance, elders," must be incorrect, for Dr. Power himself was not ordained until August, 1776.

When Dr. Power removed his family "to the western part of the province," 1 in October, 1776, he fixed his residence for some time at Dunlap's Creek. He occupied himself chiefly in missionary labors among the sparse settlements, organizing a number of churches, to all of which he was "a sort of mis- sionary pastor." 2 Among these were Dunlap's Creek, Laurel Hill, Mount Pleasant, Unity, Sewickly, and Tyrone. "The extent and variety of his labors may be inferred from one incident connected with the Cross Creek Church, in the northwestern part of Washington County, Pa. On his first visit there, ou the 14th of November, 1778, Dr. Power preached the first gospel sermon ever heard there under an oak- tree, just outside the gate at Vance's Fort, in the presence of a military company about to go forth on an expedition against the Indians. After the sermou he baptized twenty-one children, among whom was Sarah, eldest daughter of Mr. Thomas Marquis, who was afterwards called to a ministry of holy baptism in the same place. This child lived to become the wife of Rev. Joseph Stevenson, and mother of Rev. John McMillan Stevenson, D.D., now senior secre- tary of the American Tract Society," and grand- mother of the present pastor of Tyrone Church.

This incident, related by Dr. Brownson in his ad- dress at the Mount Pleasant centennial reunion, gives a key to the origin of a number of the oldest Presbyterian Churches in Western Pennsylvania. Dr. Power was accustomed during the three years he lived and preached at Dunlap's Creek to visit fre- quently the " settlements," preaching, " catechising," baptizing the children of such as were church-mem- bers in the East, and (we may well suppose) admin- istering the Lord's Supper to his people in the wil- derness, admitting many to sealing ordinances upon their profession of their faith in Jesus Christ and ordaining elders in many places.

As Tyrone lies directly on the road from Dunlap's Creek by Laurel IIill to Mount Pleasant and Se- wickly, where it is known he was at this time estab-

lishing congregations, it is believed that he preached here often, visiting and catechising as was his man- ner, and thus gathered and established his congrega- tion.

It is not probable that this church was ever formally organized according to the present mode of proceed- ing. Indeed it was not possible that it should be, for, like "many of the oldest churches, it enjoyed the pastoral labors and care of a minister years before the erection of the mother Presbytery."

Tyrone was the first of all the churches to be recognized in Presbytery under the dignity of a " congregation." In the records of the second meet- ing of the Presbytery of Redstone, at "Delap's |Creek," Oct. 23, 1782, is the following minute : "A supplication for supplies from Tyrone congregation was brought in and read. Request was granted, and Mr. Power was appointed to supply the second Sab- bath in December, and Mr. Dunlap the third Sabbath in March."

In February, 1784, according to the statement of a woman in the congregation who was then married by him, Mr. Power was preaching one-fourth of his time at Tyrone. How long this continued cannot now be ascertained, but in October, 1793, Tyrone ap- pears again in Presbytery asking for supplies. A Rev. Moore and Rev. Samuel Porter were each ap- pointed one Sabbath. During the next eleven years Tyrone appears in Presbytery, not regularly, but frequently.

Upon the organization of the Synod of Pittsburgh, in the year 1802, Tyrone'was reported in the list of churches " vacant and unable to support a pastor." 3

The only additional evidence found of stated ser- vices in Tyrone at any time during eighteen years preceding the above date was in a paper until very recently in the possession of the family of Elder James Torrance. It contained a subscription for the purpose of securing a portion of the services of Dr. Dunlap, who was for twenty years previous to 1803 pastor of Laurel Hill Church. Neither the date of that paper, the portion of service it secured, nor the time the arrangement continued is now known, but it must have been near the close of his pastorate at Laurel Hill, for Mr. J. Huston Torrance (son of James), born in the year 1795, distinctly remembers hearing Dr. Dunlap at the " tent" under that large hickory-tree on the spot where tradition says the church was organized.

Without doubt Dr. Power in the year 1774 preached the first sermon ever heard here, and there is no evi- dence that any but he preached here during the eight years that intervened before the first meeting of the Presbytery of Redstone, when Tyrone was recognized as an established " congregation." Nor can there be any doubt that to his abundant labors more than of all others is Tyrone indebted for whatever pastoral

care it enjoyed during the twenty-eight or thirty years it had no pastor. In the grateful acknowledg- ments of these years of unchronicled privations and hardships and perils, next to Dr. Power, comes Dr. Dunlap. Before reviewing the unbroken pastorate of fifty-seven years which followed it is proper to mention the successive houses in which this congre- gation has worshiped.

Tyrone congregation has erected four churches on the parcel of ground now occupied by the church and graveyard. The lot, containing two acres, is part of a tract for which John Stewart took out a patent, dated Oct. 3, 1787, under the significant title of " Pleasant Garden." This interesting and suggestive document is now in the possession of Mr. E. H. Reid, to whom that portion of the original tract which sur- rounds the church ground now belongs. The title by which the congregation held this lot having been lost through the vicissitudes incident to frontier life, in 1800, Abraham Kent and Tabitha, his wife, then possessed of the original tract, executed a new deed, securing to "Matthew Gaut, William Chain, and William Smith, trustees, and to their successors in office forever, said lot for the use of Tyrone Church."1 · The first house built by Tyrone congregation2 was a fair specimen of the primitive " meeting-houses" in Western Pennsylvania, and corresponded with the cabins of the pioneers. "It was simply a cabin of a larger size." Dr. Eaton's description of " an early church"3 is probably almost literally true of the first meeting-house at Tyrone. "Trees were felled of the proper size, cut to the desired length, notched at the corners, and laid up, log upon log, to the desired height. For the gable ends the ends of the logs were chopped off to give the proper inclination to the roof, and logs placed across to receive the clapboards. These clapboards were split ont of straight oak, placed in order on these logs, and kept in place by weight-poles. The doors and windows were then cut out, the floor was laid with puncheons split from straight logs, the door made from the same, with pins and wooden hinges, and the windows filled with oiled linen or paper. In some cases neither nail nor bit of sawed lumber were employed. Instances are recorded where churches were built in a single day, and with- out the outlay of a single dollar."

This house had no floor but the earth. "The seats were logs split and elevated on wooden logs." The pulpit was arranged with two upright puncheons, and a third across to hold the books. Another puncheon,

supported by two stout pins in the wall, served for the minister's seat. Thirteen years ago the remains of this first house, which stood on the highest spot be- tween the present church building and the burial- ground, were little more than a heap of rubbish, which gradually disappeared.

The second honse of worship was built between 1800 and 1805, probably about the time when Rev. James Guthrie became pastor. It stood just between the present house and the lower corner of the lot, with a gable towards the spring. It was of hewn logs, with a clapboard roof, and about thirty feet square at first. The pulpit was in the lower side of the house. Two aisles, terminating in a door at either end, save where the pulpit stood, crossed each other at right angles near the middle of the house. The seats (there were no pews) in the half of the house in which the pulpit was located were placed parallel with the one aisle, so that those sitting to the right and left of the pulpit faced each other and the min- ister ; while in the other half of the house the seats ran parallel with the cross aisle. At length the house was enlarged by a " lean-to" addition at the side opposite to the pulpit, and the roof, which was extended with diminished pitch, shed-like, to cover it, came down almost to the lintel of the door that opened under its eaves, giving to the structure a pe- culiar and very unchurchlike appearance.

After serving for more than half a century this house was superseded by one built of brick upon the same site. The first sermon in this, the third house of worship, was preached by Rev. Ross Stevenson on Friday, June 4, 1852. After a while the foundation gave way, and the wall scracked, so that it became necessary to repair or rebuild. A meeting of the congregation was called. Rev. John McMillan, D.D., preached from Neh. ii. 17 : "Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach." Thus exhorted they re- solved to build. A subscription was begun at once, and after four months the contract for building the fourth church edifice was awarded to Mr. J. L. White for $3500 and the old house, valued at $500. Then the first brick house, after only nineteen years' ser- vice, was demolished.

During the next eighteen monthis the homeless congregation worshiped in school-houses, occasionally accepting the kindly proffered hospitality of their Methodist Episcopal neighbors, and holding com- munion services in their churches until they occu- pied their present sanctuary, which is a model of rural simplicity and taste, and which fully maintains the ratio of excellence by which each of the former ones surpassed its predecessor. On Sabbath, May 4, 1873, nnder these grand old oaks, in whose shade the fathers, generation after generation, for a hundred years had worshiped Jehovah, this beautiful house was

2 It is stated in the " History of Centre Church [Ohio], With an Intro- duction, Giving the Rise of Other Churches, by Robert A. Sherrard, 1860," that the Tyrone Presbyterian Church was organized in 1774 by the Rev. James Power; that its first meeting-house was built in 1778, and was used by the congregation for about seventy years. It is evident that the last part of Mr. Sherrard's statement is incorrect, and that he in- cludes in his period of seventy years the time that the first two houses were in use.

solemnly dedicated to the worship of the true and ceptor the same year. In October, 1782, he received living God.

Turning to the pastors and stated supplies who have served this church, we find for the first thirty years no pastor, aud but two who for any time administered statedly the ordinances, namely, Drs. Power and Dunlap. A history of Tyrone Church would be in- complete without at least a brief sketch of Rev. James Power, D.D. He was born in Chester County, Pa., educated at Princeton, and licensed by the Pres- bytery of New Castle in the year 1772. The follow- ing year he received a call from the united congrega- tions of Highbridge, Cambridge, and Oxford, in Botetourt County, Va. Perhaps the fact that many of Mrs. Power's acquaintances and friends (among them her father, Philip Tanner, one of Rev. James Finley's elders) had recently emigrated west of the mountains determined Mr. Power to decline that call and visit the new settlements. Accordingly, in the summer of 1774, he crossed the Allegheny Mountains, and spent three months in itinerant labors "in what are now Westmoreland, Allegheny, Washington, and Fayette Counties, Pa." Late in the fall of 1776 he again crossed the mountains, this time bringing his family with him, consisting of his wife and four daughters. "They were mounted on horses, his wife on one, he on another, his oldest daughter behind him, his youngest, almost a babe, seated on a pillow in front of him, the other two comfortably and cozily seated in a sort of hamper-baskets, one on each side of a led horse."1 An explanation of his fixing his first residence on Dunlap's Creek is found in the fact that there Mrs. Power would be among friends and near her father during the frequent and long absences of her husband.
