JAMES F. STARK.

THE STARK FAMILY.

Christopher, James and Henry Stark were the father, grandfather and great grandfather of James and John Stark, well known as prominent residents of Plains for many years. All three are buried in the family burying ground northwesterly from the road, nearly a milc from the Pittston line. The family were originally from England, three brothers having emigrated to New England at an early date. General Stark, the hero of Bennington, was a descendant of one of them, and a rel- ative of those of the name in the Wyoming valley. "On the enlistment of the independent companies of Durkee and Ransom," says Miner, "James Stark, son of James and brother of Henry (whose burial place we have des- ignated) joined the army and marched to meet the enemy." Three of the name, Daniel, Aaron and James, were in the battle, the latter only escaping death.

" The first, and for many years the largest and best frame house in Upper Wilkes-Barre, belonged to the Stark family," Miner wrote, in 1845. "Painted red more than half a century ago, situate on the first rise from the river, commanding a pleasant prospect of the Susque- hanna and the large meadows, it was quite an object, in the old times, of curiosity and attention." James and John Stark were long magistrates in Upper Wilkes-Barre, and the former was instrumental, at a comparatively early day, in introducing ¿choice sorts of fruit in the valley.

Henry Stark, son of Jamcs, was born April 19th, 1762, and died January 22nd, 1807. Another son was Paul Stark. Both were driven from the valley at the time of

the massacre ; both returned, Henry becoming the owner of a large tract of land now in the township of Plains, Paul removing at a comparatively early date to New York, thence to Ohio.

Elizabeth, wife of Henry Stark, was born April 12th, 1773, and died December 24th, 1851. They had nine children, of whom James Stark was the eldest, born April 4th, 1792, on the Stark homestead. He married Mary Wagner for his third wife, February 23d, 1823. The eldest son by this marriage was James F. Stark, born in the home of his forefathers, January 7th, 1824. He mar- ried Helen Stocker, of Plains, and died June 6th, 1872, and was buried in Hollenback cemetery, Wilkes- Barre, a larger concourse of people assembling at his funeral than ever before or since attended a funeral in Plains. Honor and integrity characterized his daily intercourse with his fellow men, who sought him for advice and counsel, and always found in him a true friend and a wise adviser. In the affairs of the township he was a leading man during his active career, and while he loved the comfort and re- tirement of his home better than the honors of public life and never sought political preferment, he was often made official custodian of the best interests of his fellow townsmen, discharging all duties devolving upon him with remarkable fidelity and signal success. A lover of books and an ardent seeker after knowledge, he was an active friend of all educational movements in the vicinity; and, though he never united with any religious denomi- nation, he was a liberal supporter of neighboring churches and the friend of the deserving poor wherever found.

PITTSTON BUSINESS HOUSES AND MANUFACTORIES.

BUSINESS ENTERPRISES.

Pittston is the trade center for a population of fully 20,000 people. Prior to 1805 there was very little business done here.

The first merchants were Wright & Duane, in 1 799.

In 1847 James Searle established the first jewelry busi- ness in Pittston, in a building on the site of Leon Sacks's clothing house. Five years later he built on the site of the First National Bank a wooden building, then the best in town. It is yet standing on the same lot. Mr. Searle, W. L. McDougall and W. W. Berry are the jewelers at the present time.

The clothing business is represented by Henry Cohen, David Anthony, G. David, Leon Sticks and Lewis Cohen. Henry Cohen began business in 1849 and is the leading dealer in town. J. W. Nimmo is the leading merchant tailor. David Anthony, Lewis Cohen and several others either learned the business or formerly worked at it with Mr. Cohen.

In 1866 the firm of Miller & Ross, wholesale dealers in grain, flour and feed, began business on upper Main street, in the brick building opposite the Central Hotel. They subsequently built the building that was recently occupied by Charles Pugh as a grocery jobbing house, and in 1869 removed their business to it. Two years later Mr. Miller retired, and K. C. Ross, the junior part- ner of the firm, continued the business under the name of Ross & Co. About this time they abandoned their trade in grain and feed, confining their operations exclu- sively to provisions and pork, in which branch they soon became the largest dealers in this section of the State. The trade soon demanded larger storehouse accommo- dations, and in 1874 the lot was purchased at the corner of Water and Crone streets and their large, substantial brick building was erected, where they have warehouse and packing rooms to accommodate their trade, which is the only wholesale provision business in Pittston and the largest in this section of the State.

Union Stove and Manufacturing Company .- In 1867, on the site of the fine structure of this enterprising com-

pany, represented in the accompanying cut, was a small foundry owned by William Lester. In 1868 the building was burned. Lester became financially embarrassed and the property was sold by the sheriff in March, 1869. Monies & Pughe, of Scranton, bought it, and in July, 1869, organized a company with a capital of $40,000. The first president was Hon. Lewis Pughe; secretary and treasurer, 1. J. Vincent. The first year's business aggre- gated $17,000. In 1879 that increased to $75,000, the company having made and sold over 4,000 ranges and stoves. Smyth's Patent Duplex and Grate, the most con- venient and economical in use, is put in all their stoves, which has added much to the success of this industry, together with the fine casting and superior finish of all the goods manufactured. The buildings extend 250 feet on William street and the whole block on Foundry street. The store, pattern and office building is 60 feet square, built of solid masonry and brick, five stories high, a model of neatness and utility, with elevator from the basement to the upper floor. The machine and finishing shop on Foundry street is 100 by 60 feet, three stories, built of brick, with slate roof. In this building is the machinery for grinding, polishing and fitting stoves, ranges and furnaces. On the third floor are the pattern and tin shops. The moulding shops are on Foundry street, adjoining the machine shop. One is 100 by 75, with an addition 80 by 65. The whole moulding floor is 180 by 135 feet. The engine house is stone and brick. It contains a splendid engine of 45 horse power, built by the Dickson Manufacturing Company, of Scranton; also two large boilers. There is in the rear of the machine shop a building 40 by 60 feet, for store and lumber room. There are on the property four dwelling houses to accom- modate employes. The buildings and improvements cover about one acre. This industry has steadily increas- ed under the present able management, until the goods are sought for by dealers in northeastern Pennsylvania and the adjoining States, and the concern stands in the trade as the foremost stove works in the State outside of Phil- adelphia and Pittsburgh. The present capital is $40,000; surplus $41,000; directors-William N. Monies, Thomas Orchard, C. L. McMillan, Judge Cool, Lewis Pughe, John D. Green and E. E. Thomas; president, Colonel W. N. Monies; vice-president, C. L. McMillan; treasurer and general manager, John D. Green.

The Pittston Knitting Company was organized in Jan- uary, 1879, with a capital of $25,000; officered by R. J. Wisner, president ; William Allen, secretary; J. E. Patti- son, treasurer. The factory is on North Main street. A sixty horse-power engine is used for running the ma- chinery. The produce of the mill is twenty dozens cardigan jackets per day, worth from $14 to $40 per dozen. They take the wool in the bale and pu' it through all the steps of scouring, coloring, carding, spin- ning and knitting, furnishing employment for one hundred operatives. Their pay roll is about $1,Soo per month.

The terra cotta works were established in 1869 by William Lee & William Woods, and that year they made the first terra cotta ever made in this section of the State.

HISTORY OF LUZERNE COUNTY.

The clay is easily obtained from the mines, where it is counted as refuse. Another quality, which is used now for extra work, is obtained from New Jersey. Since 1878 Mr. Lee has had the business alone, and is manufactur- ing house-tile, chimneys and fire-brick.

About thirty-four years ago Messrs. Howarth & Law built the Dock Street Ale and Porter Brewery, having a capacity of about twenty-five Farrels per day. In 1860 H. R. & M. Hughes purchased the property, increased the capacity to sixty barrels per day, and added a malt- house capable of malting 18,000 bushels in a season. In 1878 they purchased the Forest Castle Lager Brewery in Exeter, where they are brewing forty five barrels per day. This brewery was built in 1875 by J. A. A. Burschell. The vault is one of the finest in the State, being a tunnel twelve bv fifteen feet driven fifty yards into the solid rock.

The Pittston Bank was incorporated May 5th, 1857, with George Sanderson president, and T. M. Burton cashier. The stock consisted of five hundred shares, of $100 each. On the 28th of November, 1859, the officers resigned, and William Swetland and Thomas F. Atherton were elected to fill their respective places. The capital was increased to $200,000 on the 29th of April, 1862. On November of the following year the president died, and Payne Pettebone succeeded him.

The First National Bank (No. 478) was opened on the 6th of July, 1864, with a capital of $150,000. B. I). Beyea was made cashier, H. S. Phillips teller, and R. D. Lacoe vice-president. The Pittston Bank was merged in the First National September 16th, 1865, at which time the capital of the National was increased to $500,000. Thomas Ford succeeded Mr. Lacoe as vice-president, and W. L. Watson followed Mr. Beyea as cashier. In 1876 the elegant bank building at the corner of Main and Wil- liam streets was erected. Theodore Strong has been president since the organization.

The People's Savings Bank was organized April Ist, 1872, and began business at No. 16 North Main street, in its present building. C. S. Stark was elected presi- dent, Samuel Price vice-president, and H. C. Dewey was chosen cashier. The capital, then $56,250, has been in- creased to $74,000. Four per cent. interest is paid on deposits, and the stock yields two semi-annual dividends of four per cent. each. The present officers are the first incumbents. The death of Mr. Stark occurred early in 1880. The present directors are Samuel Price, Benjamin Price, A. Armstrong, D. D. Mosier, William Allen, R. B. Cutler, H. Cohen, J. I. Shoemaker, G. J. Sharps, B. Shar- key, W. H. Cool and M. L. Perrin.

The Miners' Savings Bank was organized on the Ist of November, 1869, with John B. Smith president, Michael Reap, vice-president, and A. A. Bryden, cashier. The capital was $30,000, which was doubled in 1874. From 1871 Mr. Reap was president until December 10th, 1877, and since the election of January 16th, 1878, A. A. Bry- den has been president; James L. McMillan vice-presi- dent and Frank P'. Reap cashier. The stock has yielded six annual dividends of ten, one of eight, two of nine and one of seven per cent.

In 1854 F. Brandenburg began the first bakery in Pittston. There was not demand enough for bread at two dozen loaves per day to make it pay, so beer was added to the trade; but finally bread won, beer was banished, and now, with two large ovens and three bakermen, the average is 400 loaves per day. His present place of business was built in 1863.

SCHOOLS.

The first public school in Wyoming valley was taught in Pittston. John Jenkins is known to have taught a school near the Ravine colliery for several winters prior to 1781. In 1810 a school-house was built not far from the up-town brick school-house, but on the opposite side of Main street. It was used for religious meetings and was furnished with a loft and elevated pulpit.

March 21st, 1810, " at a meeting of the subscribers for building a school-house near Jedediah Collins's," William Slocum presided and John Phillips, William Slocum and Nathaniel Giddings were elected a committee to buy or lease a lot from said Collins and have a school-house built. They sold the building contract by auction, at $215, to Miner Searle.

An early school was taught by Mrs. Blakely Hall on " The green," a portion of the present borough between the L. V. depot and Main street. This building was pur- chased by the railroad company and used for a depot until it was displaced by their present depot building.

The township of Pittston has now twelve public schools, and Pittston borough has twenty-one schools, kept in five school buildings. T. S. Briggs is principal of the Uptown school; W. S. Stevens, Butler Hill school; W. S. Neville, Welsh Hill school; J. T. Rutledge, Market street school; C. J. Barrett, Oregon school. Prof. Bar- rett has one assistant; each of the others has four assis- tants.
