PITTSTON CHURCH HISTORIES.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.

This church was organized in December, 1776, with thirty-two members, by the Rev. Mr. Benedict, from War- wick, Orange county, N. Y., and two of his parishioners- The membership included twelve who had been mem- bers of the Warwick church, namely : Jonathan Weeks, Abigail Weeks, Daniel Cash, Mary Cash, Ephraim San- ford, Samuel Roberts, Sarah Roberts, Daniel Roberts, Hezekiah Roberts, Ebenezer Roberts, Abigail Roberts, and Mary Roberts. Among the earliest, if not con- stituent members, were Sarah Mitchell (afterwards Frear), Abraham Frear, John Phillips, Isaac and Eleanor Tripp, Aulda Bates, Elisha and Martha Harding, David Brown, and Elijah and Lucinda Silsbee.

The Wyoming massacre scattered and nearly broke up the church, and though some of the members returned to their homes but few meetings were held at this time. In 1786 the church was reorganized-through the efforts of Elders Benedict and Finn-and took the name of the Pittstown Baptist Church.

It was united with the Philadelphia Baptist Associa- tion until 1801, when, no delegate appearing to repre- sent the church, its name disappeared from their list.

From 1806 it was connected for twenty-seven years with the Abington Baptist Church, but retained all the privileges of an independent body, except that of the ex- clusion of members.

September 3d, 1833, this connection was dissolved. During the summer of that year meetings had been held in the church, resulting in the addition of a number of members. After the reorganization Rev. Charles Brown preached until the spring of 1834. In the same year the church joined the Bridgewater Association, reporting a total membership of 41. Elder W. K. Mott, of Hyde Park, was pastor from 1834 to 1848, preaching a part of the Sabbath once in two weeks. After this the church was destitute of ministerial labor much of the time, being supplied for a time by Elder John Boyd, of the Wilkes- Barre church, until 1853, when Elder Sanford Leach was called. He was pastor two years. The second protracted meeting was held in the winter and spring of 1855, and increased the membership. From the 22nd of Novem- ber, 1865, Elder A. Francis preached in what was known as the "School house on the Green," near the site of the present building, until June, 1857, and 52 were added to the church. From August following Elder S. J. Thomas was pastor about six months. After this Elder Mott was

again called to the pastorate, in connection with the Hyde Park church, preaching here once every Sabbath until the spring of 1860. After 1860 Elder E. M. Alden, of Wilkes-Barre, supplied the church with great acceptance until December, 1863.

For eighty-seven years this church worshiped in private houses. December 27th, 1863, Elder John R. Shanafelt was called to the pastorate, and during the succeeding year, through the energy and perseverance of the ladies' society, a parsonage was built and occupied by the pastor. September 27th, 1865, the corner stone of the present church edifice was laid with appropriate exercises; ad- dresses being delivered by the pastor, by Rev. T. D. An- derson, D. D., and Rev. H. G. Weston, D. D., of New York, and Rev. Dr. Bevan, of Scranton. On the 27th of June, 1867, the house was dedicated, Rev. Thomas Armitage, D. D., of New York, preaching the sermon. The whole cost of the house was about $14,000, of which Mr. Elisha A. Corey gave $5,000, and its erection marked a new era in the history of the church. In 1867 the total membership reported was 150.

Elder Shanafelt's pastorate closed November Ist, 1867. Rev. B. D. Thomas-recently from Wales-was called to the pastorate November 23d, 1868, and held it two years and seven months. The membership of the church in- creased to 209. From his departure until April, 1872, preaching was maintained by supplies. Rev. Emerson W. Bliss was then pastor three years. During his ad- ministration the house of worship was renovated and im- proved at an expense of $2,500.

For four months the church was again without a pastor. Rev. G. S. Bailey, D. D., was pastor from August Ist, 1875, until April, 1878. The following month the church called Rev. A. D. Willifer, who has been the pastor since June Ist, 1878. In this connection we present the names and date of service of the pastors of the church from its organization: James Benedict, 1776-85; James Finn, 1786-92; William Bishop, 1794-1806; John Miller, 1806-33; P. P. Brown and Charles Brown, 1833, 1834; William K. Mott, 1834-48; John J.Carey, 1853-6 months; John Boyd, 1853, 1854; Sanford Leach, 1854-56; E. A. Francis, 1856, 1857; S. J. Thomas, 1857, 1858; William K. Mott, 1858-60; E. M. Alden, 1860-63; J. R. Shanafelt, 1864-68; Benjamin D. Thomas, 1868-71; Emerson W. Bliss, 1872-75; Gilbert S. Bailey, 1875-78; A. D.Willifer, since 1878.

Probably from 1,000 to 1,200 persons have at some time been members of this church. The present mem - bership is 360.

THE FIRST M. E. CHURCH OF PITTSTON

dates back to the heroic days of Methodism. The earli- est records of this circuit are of 1791, when Pittston was a part of the Wyoming charge. A class was formed here about 1806. Mrs. Fanny S. Carey, of Wyoming, joined this class in 1809, when there were but ten mem- bers, namely: The leader, Roger Searles; Mr. Miles and wife, Jared Marcy and wife, Jesse Gardner and wife, Lucy Drake, Elizabeth Bennett and Sarah Collins.

While this is the earliest record, it is possible that a class was formed and Methodist meetings held still earlier There is no complete record of the class from 1813 to (825, but it is remembered that Rev. George Peck preached his first sermon at Forty Fort August 9th, 1818, the day after his twenty-first birthday; and on Thursday, August 20th of that year, he preached at the house of Ebenezer Marcy, near the site of Pittston borough, and subsequently filled a regular preaching appointment at the Marcy house. In 1828 a class was organized by Rev. Joseph Castle at the house of Joseph Thompson, near where the Yatesville road intersects the road leading to Plains.

Meetings were held in private houses and school build- ings until 1849. In August, 1846, a building committee consisting of James McFarlane, John D. Stark and Elisha Blackman was appointed. A site was donated for a church by Messrs. Johnson & Bennett, on Broad street. The church was dedicated in 1850. At that time Pittston station formed a part of Pittston circuit, but in 1856 it was made a separate station. Selah Stocking, a supernu- merary or superannuated preacher, was in charge two years. The first parsonage was built in 1850 and 1851, on Parsonage street. In 1866 this was sold and a house and lot on Church and Broad streets bought for $4,600. The church property has been rated at $6,000, the parsonage at $5,000.

In connection with this charge is a church at Yates- ville, which was built in 1865; a building thirty-two by forty feet, with basement, and when first completed valued at $2,500.

Among the pioneers of the church in Pittston were: William Ford, Rev. Thomas V. Tear (a local preacher) and his wife, who still survives; also Elisha Blackman, who at eighty-two years is still a faithful and devoted member of the church. This church has a membership of 314; a flourishing Sabbath-school with 275 pupils, under the efficient superintendence of C. R. Patterson. The following is a list of the preachers stationed at Pittston since it became a separate charge: 1856 and 1857, S. Stocking; 1858 and 1859, A. P. Mead; 1860 and 1861, Geo. M. Peck; 1862 and 1863, O. M. McDowall; 1864-66, W. J. Judd; 1867-69, Y. C. Smith; 1870-72, Ira T. Walker; 1873-75, Thomas Harrom; 1876-78, J. O. Woodruff; 1879, L. W. Peck; 1880, S. C. Fulton.

The first trustees of the Pittston church were Edwin F. Ferris, Elisha Blackman, James McFarlane, David Richards, William Ford, Francis Yates, Francis Watson, Isaac Thompson and Miner Swallow. The first board of the Yatesville church were William Perrin, Thomas Wattress, John Shields, Francis Yates, James Teasdale, Richard Boslock, Robert Shields, Alfred Day.

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF PITTSTON.

The first stated preaching in the valley by a Presby- terian minister was in Wilkes-Barre, in 1821. His ap- pointments were for the most part in private houses. He received very considerable accessions to his church from Pittston. Pittston members would go down on Saturday

afternoon to preparatory lecture, and remain until the Sabbath with hospitable Wilkes-Barre friends. The Pres- byterian church of Wilkes-Barre has always been a kind of mother to her Pittston child.

This church was organized on the 25th of February. 1842, by the Presbyterians of Susquehanna, as the Pres- byterian Church of Lackawanna, with 30 members, namely: John M., Eleazer and Catharine Atherton, Ma- ria Coon, Jacob Whitbeck, Ruth Diltz, Myria Giddings, Fannie McCalpin, Sarah Austin, Parthenia Gordon, Nancy Race, Sarah Blackman, Anna Decker, Richard and Phebe Hollenback, John M. and Catharine Moore, Hanna Phillips, Nancy Kennedy, Sarah Shafer, Phebe Vande- berg, Hermon B. and Hannah Dailey, Maria Fellows, Mary Jeffreys, James W. Sands, Elijah Couch and wife, and James Helm. February 29th Elijah Couch and John M. Atherton were chosen elders, and Thomas B. Dailey deacon. They were ordained by Rev. John Dorrance.

Shortly after this the Presbytery of Luzerne was form- ed, and the church of Lackawanna was placed under its care. This church was incorporated January 22nd, 1848, as the First Presbyterian Church of Pittston. The organ- ization was effected in what was then Harrison, now Scran- ton, in a small school-house that stood on the north side of Roaring brook, near where the large furnaces of the Lack- awanna Iron and Coal Company stand. The church after- ward moved into the old red school-house in North Pittston.

Until 1844 the preacher was the Rev. Charles Evans, a missionary. Since 1844 the church has been under the pastoral care of Rev. N. G. Parke.

A house of worship was built in 1846, and was a sub- stantial brick building, costing about $2,000. In 1856 it was found to be too small, and not in the right place, and in 1857 the congregation left it for the house down town. A large proportion of the money for building the new house was collected outside of the congregation, chiefly in Wilkes-Barre, Easton, Belvidere, and Elizabeth. The principal contributors in the congregation were Zenus Barnum, Theodore Strong, Elisha Atherton and Peter Wagner. Others, including those residing in Scranton, did what they could. John D. Butler, Rev. John Dor- rance, Mrs. Chester Butler and Mrs. Emily Hollenback aided nobly in the work; but for their sympathy and encouragement the enterprise would have failed. The building was dedicated free of debt. There is a flourish- ing Sabbath-school connected with this church.

The church very early established Sabbath-schools throughout the mission field. In Pittston there was a flourishing school, conducted by Mr. Strong in the old red school-house near the Junction in North Pittston. It was a union schoo!, and the only Sabbath-school at the time (1844) in the township. There was a union school also in Scranton. Between these two points several schools were established, including one in the Hollenback school-house, not far from Taylorville, which at one time numbered over a hundred scholars.

In the Melanie Chapel, in North Pittston, erected re- cently and controlled by this church, a union Sabbath- school is maintained, and also a preaching service.

PITTSTON WELSH CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.

This church was organized in 1847, and for nearly two years met in the dwellings of the members, most of whom lived in that portion of Pittston generally known as Welsh Hill. Late in 1849 a chapel was dedicated on Pine street, and David R. Lewis became the first settled pastor. His successors have been Evan B. Evans, Cadwallader Jones, Edward R. Lewis, John R. Williams, Owen Owens David Davis, Evan R. Jones, and since 1876 the present pastor, Rev. John Williams.

In 1860, during the pastorate of C. Jones, the Pine street chapel was sold to the borough for a school-house, and the present comfortable church edifice was erected on Lagrange street, at a cost of $3,000.

ST. JAMES EPISCOPAL CHURCHI.

The records of this parish trace back its beginning to "two or three" theological students of the Alexandria Seminary, in Virginia, who spent their vacation in 1848 as licensed colporteurs, and reported the names and need of the few Episcopalians whom they found to the Rev. W. Miles, of St. Stephen's church, Wilkes-Barre, by whose labors the parish came into existence. In the summer of 1849 the first service was held in the Welsh church; and on the 12th of August that year an organization was effected, under the name of St. James Church. The incorporators were 42 in number, as fol- lows:

William S. Reddin, Benjamin D. Beyca, J. Williams, John R. Keeler Edward B. Hughes, J. H. Babcock, Henry Protyus, John Baker, Jolin Howartlı, jr., Thomas Simons, M. L. Everitt, George Everitt, C. R. Gorman, George W. Sickler, J. H. Bailey, Stephen B. Jenkins, Edward Clarkson, George Damon, Charles F. Ingham, William Tompkins, Wil- tiam R. Griffiths, William Ferguson, George Lazarus, Daniel Lloyd, Lagrange Damon, Miles Jacobs, T. B. Day, Josepht Knapp, Robert S C. Knapp, Cornelius Stark, H. M. Damon, R. J. Wisner, R. S. Cox, E. J. Curtis, O. Johnson, John Love, William Howarth, Abram Bird, G. Under- wood, H. A. Dow, Lewis M. Ketcheson, jr., and J. P. Schooly, jr.

Of these only Mr. R. K. Wisner is now a member. The first visit of the bishop, Alonzo Potter, took place in July, 1851, and the first confirmation June 12th, 1855, the candidates being Mrs. Anna E. Wisner and Mrs. Elizabeth Damon. In May, 1852, the parish was admitted into union with the diocesan convention of Pennsylvania. In that year the Rev. John Long, as a missionary, had charge of Pittston a few months. It was not till Sep- tember, 1857, that a minister, the Rev. W. C. Robinson, succeeded Mr. Long. His ministry lasted a little over a year. During this time the congregation worshiped " in various school-houses on either side of the river," until a room was secured on the east side, over the store of Mr. Charles Law, which was fitted up for this purpose. The present church edifice was commenced on the 23d of February, 1858. Mr. Robinson found 23 families and 45 individuals " favorable to the church and attendants upon her worship." During his ministry the number was increased to "55 families, comprising over roo persons." The Sunday-school then had 120 scholars and ten teachers, the scholars including fifty belonging to Meth- odists and Presbyterians. Mr. H. L. Phillips became the superintendent in the spring of 1858. In the latter part

of 1858 Mr. Robinson resigned. From January, 1859. Rev. John A. Jerome was rector three years. March 27th, 1859, the congregation met for the first time in the basement of the church, and May 15th the church was formally opened.

From the autumn of 1862 Rev. Chandler Hare was the rector till May 22nd, 1871. He found the parish " in a very decrepit condition." His salary was only $300, with a missionary stipend of $175. The church building was in a neglected condition, "unfenced" and "unconsecrated,"and had been sold for debt and was owned by R. J. Wisner and Henry Evans. Mr. Hare raised $1,200 to pay the debt, and on the 30th of June, 1863, the church was consecrated and thirty persons were confirmed. The salary was raised to $1,000. In 1870 the pew rental amounted to $1,350. Mr. Hare added an organ to the church, improved the site of the building by a wall and fence and enlarged its capacity by a transept, established a parochial school, and during his ministry two hundred and sixty persons were baptized and ninety-three con- firmed. The number of communicants was largely in- creased and there was an active charity in all depart- ments of church work. Mr. Hare ended his faithful ministry on the evening of the 22nd of May, 1871. He was succeeded by the Rev. S. H. Boyer, and he by the Rev. John K. Karcher. The Rev. George C. Foley, in the latter part of 1875, succeeded Mr. Karcher. He found the parish in a troubled state, but soon succeeded in restoring unity, and in gaining the affectionate regard of the congregation. He left at Easter, 1879, and was succeeded in August, 1879, by the Rev. George A. Kirk- land.

The last report to the bishop showed one hundred and ten communicants; one hundred and fifty Sunday- school scholars, under sixteen teachers; offerings for the year $1,988.13, of which $1,730.59 were for parochial expenses. There are two societies connected with the church, the Ladies' Aid and the St. James Guild. The present wardens of the church are Messrs. Thomas E. Grier and John Howell.

THE METHODIST PROTESTANT CHURCH OF PITTSTON

was organized in the spring of 1852, with a small mem- bership, as the Wesleyan Methodist Church of Pittston. The first official board consisted of James Challenger, Obadiah B. Fear, Benjamin Harding, William Chivers, Mark Hilbert, James Brown, Thomas Fear and William Harding.

The congregation worshiped a number of years in a small building on Scotch hill. In 1861 a building lot was secured, and a small church built, on Broad street, near Foundry. In 1874 the church, to accommodate the increased membership, was enlarged to its present seat- ing capacity of about 300. About 500 members have been connected with the church since its organization. The society is free from debt. The church is valued at $4,500, and the parsonage in the rear of it is worth $1,500.

The following ministers have officiated here: Revs.

George R. Hoer, John Gregory, Harvey Lounsberry, William West, George B. Dotson, Henry Palmer and Z. Du Bois Baird, the present pastor. The membership is 168.

The Sabbath-school is in a flourishing condition. Its report for the year ending October 7th, 1879, gives the following figures: Scholars, roo; teachers, 13; officers, 6; volumes in library, 708; conversions during the year, 11, all of whom have joined the church in full membership.

In connection with the church there is a total absti- nence organization, called the "Pittston Band of Hope," numbering 370 members, who abstain from tobacco as well as intoxicants.

In the fall of 1878 the church joined the New York Methodist Protestant Conference, having previously re- ceived its ministers from the Syracuse and Pittsburgh conferences.

ST. JOHN EVANGELIST CHURCH (ROMAN CATHOLIC)

on William street, Pittston, was built during the pastor- ate of Rev. John P. O'Shaughnessy, who was in charge from 1853 to 1859. It was dedicated October 17th, 1858. Mr. O'Shaughnessy was succeeded in May, 1869, by Rev. Patrick A. Prendergast, who was pastor until his death, Nov. 12th, 1861. His successor was the present pastor, Rev. John Finnen, who had been assistant to each of the previous pastors. Many improvements have been made under the present pastor. In 1864 a double brick build- ing next the church was purchased and remodeled for school and Sisters' dwelling. In it the Sisters of the Im- maculate Heart have taught a select school during the past fifteen years. An addition to the church was built in 1870, which made its seating capacity about 1,050. In the same year a commodious brick pastoral residence was erected, and in 1880 a new brick school was built, a por- tion of which is devoted to the use of the societies con- nected with St. John's church.

The Father Matthew Total Abstinence Benevolent So- ciety was established in 1870 and is in a flourishing con- dition, having a larger roll of membership than any other Catholic total abstinence society in the State. The Young Men's Catholic Literary and Benevolent Society, established in April, 1872, has a membership of 200 and a library of 450 volumes.

GERMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.

The German Catholics of Pittston built a church in 1865. The first mass in it was on the last Sunday of May, 1865. Rev. Father P. C. Nagel, from Wilkes- Barre, supplies the pulpit.

ST. JOHN'S AND ST. PETER'S EVANGELICAL. LUTHERAN CHURCHES.

On the 22nd of November, 1857, Rev. G. H. Vossler, then pastor in Wilkes Barre, came to Pittston and organ- ized a church with 50 members. Their meetings were held seven years in the school-house at Hamtown, a por- tion of Pittston township adjacent to Pittston borough. When a church building was contemplated dissensions

arose regarding a location, and the congregation was di- vided; one part, under the old name, St. Peter's, erected a church building in Hamtown, and the other part organ- ized as St. John's, and built the church on Wood street, in Pittston borough, at a cost of $2,000, the corner stone being laid on the 30th of October, 1863. The first sermon was preached the 16th of the following October. The ladies subsequently furnished the church, and the young men's society raised funds for a bell and an organ, the aggregate cost being $1,000. A Sunday-school was or- ganized on the 27th of November, 1864, with 34 scholars and 8 teachers.

The St. Peter's building was also erected in 1864, and dedicated the 22nd of September. The ladies' society of this church raised funds to furnish the church and supply a bell. A Sunday-school has been maintained here since 1857. It now numbers 80 pupils and 12 teachers. Since its organization it has been under the superintendency of C. Schule.

Rev. G. H. Vossler was succeeded as pastor of St. Peter's church in 1858 by C. M. Gaeger; August 19th, 1861, C. Speidel; July 6th, 1862, C. Oefinger; October 11th, 1868, L. Gluber; May Ist, 1872, A.
