In 1841 a brick church was built at the lower end of Main Street, but the building proving short of the requirements as stipulated in the contract for its erection, the congregation gave it up to the contrac- tor after meeting in it but a few times. In 1843 pur- chase was made of William Eberhard's warehonse on Water Street, and in that building, remodeled, wor- ship was held nntil 1850, when a framed edifice was built on Water Street, above the old site, at a cost of 81050. The church built in 1850 is now occupied by the Disciples.

In 1866, the congregation having grown in strength and wealth, measures were inaugurated looking to the erection of a costlier and more commodions house of worship. The result was the erection of the fine brick 4 edifice now occupied. It cost $15,000, and will seat five hundred people. June 10, 1867, the corner-stone was laid in the presence of a numerous assemblage by 134 Mrs. Emma Weaver and the Misses Maggie, Emma, and Lydia Davidson. In that year the church society 138 was first incorporated. The church property includes the church building and a parsonage. The entire in- debtedness is but $1200. In 1850, Belle Vernon and 5864.34 6332.44 . Cookstown were made a separate circuit. In 1870,

BELLE VERNON BOROUGH.

Belle Vernon was constituted a charge by itself. From 1850 to 1860 the preachers in charge were Revs. J. F. Nesley, P. F. Jones, J. Burbidge, D. H. Rhodes, John Williams, J. Horner, J. C. Brown, George Crook. Belle Vernon Church has now a membership of two hundred and forty, and four classes. The leaders are James Davidson, Amon Bronson (two classes), and C. Reppert. The pastor is Rev. A. P. Leonard, and the Sunday-school superintendent J. B. Zeh. The trustees are William Jones, James Davidson, Amon Bronson, N. Q. Speers, W. H. Brightwell, J. B. Zeh, John Reeves, D. P. Houseman, and Samuel Sutton.

FREE-WILL BAPTIST CHURCH.

April 22, 1843, a Free-Will Baptist Church was organized in the village school-house by Elders Joshua Newbold, S. G. Smutz, and David Smutz. The organizing members were Roger Jordan and wife, Isaac Free and wife, Mrs. Hannah Jordan, Eliza Baldwin, Daniel Springer, Rachel Springer, William Jacobs and wife, Lydia Springer, and Eliza Jordan. The first deacons were Isaac Free and Dan- iel Springer, and Daniel Springer the first superin- tendent of the Sunday-school. In September, 1844, a house of worship was built, and was dedicated by Rev. Mr. Newbold. It was used until 1872, and is now the residence of Mr. Morrison. In 1872 the house now in use was completed, and in April of that year was dedicated by Rev. James Coulter. Its cost was about $5000. Rev. Joshua Newbold, the first pastor, has had as successors in the pastorate Revs. Edward Jordan, David Smutz, Mr. Winton, J. W. Planet, Patrick Reardon, Henry Cook, Mr. Blakely, James Springer, J. C. Nye, Wellington Joy, John Rogers, and B. H. Fish. Mr. Fish, the present pas- tor, returned in October, 1880, for his second term of service. The church membership was seventy in May, 1881. The deacons are John Hixenbaugh, J. W. Corwin, Christopher Amalong, James McCoy. The trustees are J. W. Corwin, Denton Lynn, and John Fell.

CHURCH OF CHRIST.

The Disciples at Belle Vernon met occasionally for worship as early as 1840, and engaging a preacher in conjunction with the brethren of Cookstown, had ser- 1 vices once a fortnight. Of both churches the promi- nent members were J. B. Gould, of Belle Vernon, and James Hamer, of Cookstown. Hamer was about the only one who came regularly every other Sunday from Cookstown to church at Belle Vernon, and Gould the only one who attended regularly from the latter at the former place. In 1844 the Belle Vernon Disciples built a church, and in 1869 exchanged it to R. C. Schmertz & Co. for the old Methodist Episcopal Church building on Water Street, then owned hy Schmertz & Co. The church built by the Disciples is now used by Schmertz & Co. as an office. Mr. Pool was the first preacher, and J. B. Gould, James Hamer, and James Ferry the first elders. Mr. Pool

is said to have been an eloquent man in the pulpit, but in ordinary life and conversation a far from im- pressive person. Asking a lady once what she thought of him, he received as a reply, "Well, when you are in the pulpit I often think you ought never to leave it, but when you are ont I feel sure you ought never to enter it." There has been no regular preacher since 1876, the last one being Lyman Streator. The membership is now about forty. J. B. Gould, James Morgan, and Andrew Graham are the elders, and Charles Corwin, Thomas Fawcett, and James Hag- erty the deacons.

BELLE VERNON PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

About 1836, or before, Rehoboth Church appointed Michael Finley and William Bigham to visit Belle Vernon and inquire into the propriety of erecting a church in that village. They reported adversely, but recommended occasional preaching in the town and neighborhood. Rev. Robert Johnson preached at long intervals at the house of Abner Reeves, whose wife was a member of the Presbyterian Church. Later, Rev. N. H. Gillett held occasional services in the old Eberhard warehouse on Water Street.

For some years the only member of the Presbyte- rian Church in Belle Vernon was William Hasson. In April, 1848, Dr. Van Voorhis and wife were re- ceived into the church, and then Belle Vernon held three members of that faith. Revs. James R. Hughes and L. Y. Graham preached successively in the house now used by the Disciples and then by the Methodists, but no further effort was made to organ- ize a church until the summer of 1868, when Reho- both appointed J. B. Cook, E. F. Houseman, and L. M. Speer to "go on and inquire into the expediency of building a house in Belle Vernon." The commit- tee made a report favoring the project, but to this day no action has been taken by Rehoboth upon the report, nor has the committee yet been discharged. In 1869 members of Rehoboth living in Belle Vernon and vicinity took steps towards building a church, and August 7th of that year laid the first stone upon a lot donated by L. M. Speer, who gave also liber- ally toward the work of building, and himself pro- vided for the completion of the spire. Dec. 19, 1869, the church was dedicated free of debt. Jan. 2, 1870, a Sabbath-school was organized with Dr. J. S. Van Voorhis as superintendent. It was not, however, until 1873 that a church organization was formed. In December of that year the Redstone Presbytery appointed Revs. G. M. Hair and Gailey and Elder Rankin to act as a committee to organize a church at Belle Vernon. The organization was accordingly effected December 11th, when the following were re- ceived on certificates from Rehoboth, to wit : D. B. Johnson, Sarah Johnson, James French and wife, Dr. J. S. Van Voorhis, E. S. Van Voorhis, L. M. Speer, F. L. Speer, C. G. Speer, S. F. Jones, S. E. Jones, R. J. Linton, C. S. Linton, Nancy Smock,

BELLE VERNON GLASS-FACTORY.

having an immense stock of glass on hand at the out- break of the rebellion, made his fortune.

In 1865, Berry disposed of his interests to the present owners, R. C. Schmertz & Co., who remodeled the works and added a ten-pot furnace. Their factory covers now about two acres, and has in connection with it a fine store and thirty-six tenements. Lime and sand were formerly obtained at Belle Vernon, but these materials are now brought from Layton and Mapleton. Coke is burned near the works. Two hundred and thirty hands are ordinarily employed, and upwards of $15,000 paid out monthly as wages. They have an aggregate of twenty-six pots, consume annually 300,000 bushels of coal, 80,000 bushels of coke, 2200 tons of sand, 650 tons of lime, 850 tons of soda, and 500 tons of other materials. One million feet of lumber are used yearly for the manufacture of boxes. Their freight tonnage each year is 1200 tons. The annual production of glass reaches about 80,000 boxes. Mr. Schmertz, the senior member of the firm, resides at Pittsburgh, but exercises a general supervision over the works at Belle Vernon, as well as over the firm's works at Columbus, Ohio. The managing and resident partner at Belle Vernon is Mr. R. J. Linton, who entered Mr. Schmertz's em- ploy in 1855, and in a few years was admitted as a partner.

The interest of glass-manufacture is a very impor- tant one at Belle Vernon. It was founded in 1834, and has continued since 1836 to be a conspicuous BELLE VERNON SAW- AND PLANING-MILL COM- PANY (LIMITED). element in the industries of the town. R. C.

The officers are Amon Bronson, president ; William Jones, vice-president ; A. A. Taggart, manager ; S. F. Jones, treasurer ; J. S. Jones, secretary. The main building is one hundred by forty feet. It contains a 66-inch circular saw, capable of sawing 30,000 feet of lumber in ten hours. Adjoining the mill is the boat-yard of William McFall, who turns out yearly a good many river craft of various kinds. 1865, and have there to-day the largest window-glass manufactory in the world. In 1834, George Kendall, of Cookstown, and Thomas Patton, of Perryopolis, began the erection of glass-works upon the site of Schmertz & Co.'s factory, but before they reached the point of manufacture failed and abandoned the en- terprise. The buildings remained in an unfinished condition until 1836, when William Eberhard came into possession of the property, and' promptly com- pleting an eight-pot furnace engaged at once in the production of glass.

He appeared to be driving a flourishing business, and did doubtless for some years, but while pushing matters at what seemed a remarkably brisk rate, in 1853, he suddenly failed, to the great consternation of the community, and the loss of many who had looked upon the glass-works as upon a secure foundation.

FAYETTE CITY BOROUGH.

Fayette City, a thriving borough of about nine hun- dred inhabitants, located upon the Monongahela, twelve miles below Brownsville, ranks among the old towns of Fayette County. Founded about 1800 by Col. Edward Cook as Freeport, it was known as Cookstown from 1825 to 1854, when its name was changed by legislative act to Fayette City. It is a point of considerable shipment, rie the Mononga- hela River, of apples, wool, grain, etc., and derives a brisk mercantile trade from the surrounding agricul- tural community and adjoining coal-mining districts. Manufacturers are confined to the product of window- glass and woolen goods. There is communication with all points via river packets that touch at the wharf four times daily, and by railway on the Wash- ington side of the river.

The bottom lands upon which the chief portion of Fayette City lies were once the site of an Indian vil- lage. Col. Edward Cook, who in 1768 came to the neighborhood and bought a large tract of about three thousand acres, lying now in Washington, Westmore- land, and Fayette Counties, then became the owner of the site of Fayette City and the country abont it for some distance. The first improvement of conse- quence upon the present site of Fayette City was

made by Joseph Downer, shortly after 1800. Mr. Downer, who had from 1794 been living near Col. Cook's, in Washington township, moved first to the present Cooper mill-site, and later to where James Hamer's woolen-factory now stands. At the latter point he built a flouring-mill, and lower down on the run a saw-mill, of which the ruins may still be seen. At the saw-mill he built a framed dwelling-house, on the site of the Thirkield mansion. The grist-mill Mr. Downer himself managed, while the saw-mill interest was in charge of his father-in-law, Stephen Hall.

At the time of Mr. Downer's location upon the vil- lage site, abont 1806, there was upon the tract but one honse, which stood on the river-bank, the log cabin of one Pankus, a boat-builder, who soon afterwards went to New Orleans, and was never heard of. Pre- vious to 1807, Col. Cook had laid out a town where Fayette City now is and named it Freeport. Tradi- tion has it that he and Mr. Downer surveyed the streets and marked off the lots with a clothes-line. The original plat of the town shows that fifty-one lots were set off, that the streets were named Fording, Market, Cook, Union, Front, Second, Third, and Fourth, and that the triangular piece of land upon which the school-house now stands was donated for public use. Upon the plat is written the following :

" Plan of the town of Freeport,1 on the Mononga- hela River, in Washington township, Fayette County, State of Pennsylvania. Laid out by Edward Cook, Esq." The lots were made sixty feet by one hundred and twenty, but in order to prevent disputes in the measurement six inches were allowed by Mr. Cook in each line on the ground, so that the lots were actually sixty-six feet six inches by one hundred and twenty feet six inches. Market Street is forty-five feet wide ; the other streets thirty feet wide. The first trader at Freeport was Andrew Hunter, who, not far from 1805, came to the place with his daughters, Jane and Margaret, and erected at the corner of Market and Front Streets a framed building, in which he opened a small store and made his residence. His daughter Jane was a woman of great force of character and good business talent. She soon became the owner of the store, and, with her sister Margaret, carried it on for many years. Before the advent of the Hunters, William D. Mullin (who in 1786, at the age of four years, had come with his adopted father, William Patterson, to Washington township) located in Free- port upon his marriage, in 1806, and set up a hatter's shop (his trade he had learned with Jones, of Bridge- port) on a lot he had bought of Morris Dunlevy. The deed for the property, now in the possession of R. G. Mullin, recites that for the consideration of twenty dollars Edward and Martha Cook conveyed to Morris Dunlevy lot No. 4 in Freeport, situated in the traet known as Whisky Mount, patented to Edward

Cook by the State in 1796. The deed bears date Nov. 12, 1802. William D. Mullin carried on the hat- making business until 1857. He died in Fayette City in 1876, aged ninety-one years. The house he lived in is now the residence of John Kennedy. The hat- shop that stood close to it long since disappeared.

In 1806, Alexander Crane kept on Water Street the . Market and Water Streets. Daniel Ferry was a principal store in Freeport. Aaron Bugher, who went wagon- and plow-maker, and William Baldwin was the village tailor. Mr. Frazer opened a wheelwright's shop near to where he now lives, and remained seven years. He retired for a while to a farm, but soon returned, and still resides in Fayette City, a highly honored and worthy citizen. to the Legislature afterwards, was a boat-builder, and in his yard built quite a lot of flat- and keel-boats. The first steamboat built at Freeport was launched about 1820 hy James Woods. After an extended business career at Freeport, Bugher removed to Cin- cinnati, where he died. William Larimer, who suc- ceeded him as a boat-bnilder at Cookstown, remained until about 1860. Since his departure but little in the way of boat-building has been done at this place.

Thomas Beard (an Irish refugee), one of the pio- neer traders, kept a dry-goods store on Second Street near Union (where J. C. King's furniture-shop is), and Daniel Ferry kept a general store on Second Street. At the corner of Market and Second, James P. Stewart was an early trader, as was Job Kitts at the corner of Union and Water. U. C. Ford had a tannery at the corner of Market and Main Streets, on Cookstown's first resident physician was Dr. David Porter, who lived when a lad with the family of Capt. Woolsey, of Westmoreland County. Dr. Porter practiced for a year or two in Freeport about 1815, and then retiring to the country, did not return until about 1836, when he opened an office on Water Street. After a stay of a few years he retired once more to a farm, and removing subsequently to Union- town, remained there until his death in 1875. Dr. Joseph Thoburn, who succeeded Dr. Porter at Free- Hubbs was a practitioner in Freeport in 1822, and the site of MeEwan's drug-store. About 1820, John Baldwin, a miller on the opposite side of the river, put on a ferry, much to the convenience of the people, for fording had previous to that been the common means of crossing. One Romans was Freeport's pio- neer blacksmith. His shop was on Main near Mar- ket Street. James McCrory was one of the village blacksmiths about that time, and since then a Mc-' Crory has always been one of the blacksmiths of the place. Adam Weamer (with whom Samuel Lari- | port, moved eventually to Wheeling. Dr. Nathan 1 mer was an apprentice) was a cabinet-maker in a shop on the present Baldwin House lot. James , after a service of twenty-six years, died in the village Enos, living on the hill, was the first wheelwright as well as the first postmaster. William McBain was a shoemaker on Second Street, between Union and Market. James Hezlip kept the first tavern near the corner of Market and Second Streets.1 The second tavern was opened by Henry Calver on Second Street. He was succeeded in that establishment by a Mr. McNab, Beriel Taylor, and Thomas McCrory. MeCrory was its last landlord, and kept it for some years as McCrory's Inn, by which name it was widely and favorably known. In 1845, William Evans built the tavern now known as the Baldwin House. Justus Blaney had a pottery in the upper portion of the vil- lage now called Sisleytown. He made common ware and shipped it down the river to market. John Britson, another ancient worker in clay, made clay pipes in Cookstown as early as 1821.

In 1827, William E. Frazer (chosen to the State Senate in 1855 and canal commissioner in 1859) came to Cookstown from Luzerne township for the purpose

of following his trade as turner and wheelwright. Mr. Frazer says Cookstown had in 1827 three stores, of which the principal one was kept by Thomas Beard, near the corner of Second and Union Streets. Alexander Crane had a store on Water (or Front) Street, and the Hunters had one at the corner of

R. G. Mullin, now the oldest of Fayette City's merchants, embarked in trade in 1837 upon the lot where he was born and where he has continued to live to this day. Next in rank as to date of estah- lishment in the village comes William Troth, who came to Cookstown in June, 1847, and opened a sad- dler's shop. In 1849 he purchased William E. Fra- zer's hardware business, and in that trade has contin- ued uninterruptedly ever since. The third oldest merchant, John Mullin, has sold goods in this town continuously since 1852.

in 1848. During Dr. Hubbs' time Dr. Thornton Fleming was one of the village doctors. He is espec- ially remembered because of his sudden departure from the place. He is supposed to be living now at Galesburg, Ill. Dr. James Eagan came to the town in 1830, and in 1847 appeared Drs. Charles Conley and O. D. Todd. Dr. Todd, who lived opposite Cookstown, in Washington County, had an office in the village from 1847 until his death in 1880. Dr. J. M. H. Gordon, who located in Cookstown in 1849, has been in village practice continuously ever since. Dr. H. F. Roberts came as early as 1847, and prac- ticed at irregular periods as a local physician until 1876. He lives now in Uniontown. Dr. F. M. Yost wax in the field from 1852 to 1854. Drs. Reisinger and Penny were but briefly village practitioners. Dr. Conkling came in 1870, and died here in 1873. Be- sides Dr. J. M. H. Gordon, the borough physicians are John W. Gordon (here since 1877) and J. V. Porter (since 1880).

A post-office appears to have been established at Freeport as early as 1812. The first postmaster was

In 1850, Whiting again obtained control, and, in company with John Emery, carried on the business until 1850, when they failed. Wil- liam Eberhard, Jr., succeeded them and continued until 1857, when he too failed. After that no one ventured to take hold of the enterprise, and its his- tory ended with the close of the year last named. In 1820 he was succeeded by William D. Mullin, and Mullin by Samuel Larimer in 1829. Larimer served until 1840, when Job Kitts was appointed, and in 1840 gave place to Edward Martin. Following Martin, to 1860, the incumbents were R. G. Mullin, William R. Campbell, and John Stofft. Hugh Connelly had the office from 1860 to 1870, and Lewis K. Hamilton from 1870 to 1880. S. B.
