CHURCHES.

METHODIST EPISCOPAL.

John Rhodes was the first to plant the banner of Methodism in the Sugarloaf valley. He wended his way over mountains. down ravines, through stream and forest, until he reached what is now Conyngham. His preaching drew the settlers from far and near. Four acres of land were deeded by Redmond Conyngham to Archibald Murray, George Drum, jr., Jacob Drumheller, Philip Woodring and Peter Scheide, as trustees; and a long church building was put up, just south of the English burying ground, on the site of the school-house in the north part of Conyngham. One half of it was to be used by all the religious denominations for preaching, and the other half as a school-house. There were large doors in the middle of the building, hinged at the top, so as to be swung up and fastened to the ceiling, in order to make double room for extra occasions.

Here was formed the first Methodist class in this town- ship. Mr. Rhodes was the preacher, Charles Bowman

the first leader of the class, and a Mr. Witherstine assist- ant leader. David Richards and wife, James Smith and wife, Sarah McMurtie, Mary McMurtie, Phebe Troy Catharine Troy, Mary Cowley and John Cowley were among the first members of the class.

In 1866 the society built their present church, in the north part of the village of Conyngham, at a cost of $2,500. The church lot was donated by Dr. Cassel- berry, of Hazleton. The church is of wood, 40 by 50 feet, with seats for three hundred.

The old union church was moved in 1854 or 1855 down the street, opposite the Phoenix Hotel, and it is now occupied by Henry Shepperly as a stove and tin shop.

Mr. Rhodes was succeeded by Kevs. Messrs. Shepherd and Thomas, Oliver Ege, Charles Brown, John Lloyd, George Bergstresser, Thomas Bowman, G. H. Day, A. Britton, T. H. Switzer and John Nicholson. In 1852 Rev. Messrs. Barnhart and Elisha Butler were on this charge. This brings us down to the church records of 1860, when we again find G. H. Day appointed; 1862, B. P. King; 1864, Josiah Forrest and J. C. Hagey; 1866, James F. Porter; 1867, Henry S. Mendenhall; 1868, James B. Cuddy, C. L. Benscotten and Pemberton Bird; 1870, A. S. Bowman and N. W. Colburn; 1873, J. Farron Brown and J. B. Moore. In 1874 J. Horning came in place of Mr. Moore. G. B. Savage, T. H. Tubbs and William A. Carver were also on this district. In 1874 the old Jeansville circuit was divided, leaving the townships of Butler, Sugarloaf and Black Creek in one charge. In 1875 Rev. J. Stine was appointed here, and in 1877 G. M. Larned, the present pastor. The present value of the church property is $2,000.

The first Sunday-school was organized by Asher Stout, soon after the old union church was built. The present superintendent is M. T. Boston, with W. F. Tressler as assistant. The total number of scholars is 116; of teachers, 16; average attendance of scholars, 75; volumes in the library, 492.

CHRIST CHURCH ..

This church is owned jointly by the Reformed and Lutheran congregations. These organizations were formed simultaneously about the year 1800, when all denomina- tions held their meetings in the old union church, and obtained of Redmond Conyngham a deed of the lot for Christ Church. The deed was given to Peter Stare, Philip Woodring, Stephen Balliett, Samuel Yost and Val- entine Sewell, trustees, and dated November 16th, 1820. In 1826 the two congregations built thereon a log church. the corner stone of which was laid May 15th, 1826, by Rev. John N. Zeizer of the Reformed church, and Revs. Peter Kessler and George Eister of the Lutheran. The elders were John A. Winter and Jacob Getting; deacons, Peter Klees, Peter Oxrider and John Seiwell; building committee, Henry Yost and Jacob Drumheller. The members of the church at the time were the following:

Abraham Minig, Jacob Oxeurider, George Koenig, George Drum, jr. Casper Horn, Charles Keek, John Bergy, Peter Brisel, Abralinin Klotz, Peter Stalır, George Hoffman, Conrad Fisher, Henry Oxrider, John Yost, John Smith 2ud, Jacob Speth, Michael Kuns, jr., George Diter, Andrew

Maurer, Valentine Seiwell, Samuel Yost, George Stahr, Jacob Billheimer, Michael Koontz, sen., Christian Henry, Christian Shadle, John Charles, John Miller, George Shadle, Benjamin King, Jacob Mahs, jr., John Turn- bach, Jacob Klaehs and Abraham Miller, jr.

In the old log church the congregations continued to worship alternately until 1872, when they built a framed church, a little south of the old one, at a cost of $7,000. The corner stone was laid June 2nd, 1872. The building committee consisted of Samuel Benner, Nathan Snyder, and John Gitting of the Reformed, and William Distil- horst and Samuel Wagner of the Lutheran church. The new church was dedicated October 6th, 1872. This edi- fice was burned January 11th, 1873, after which the two congregations again worshiped in the old log church until a new church was built the following summer, at a cost of $6,000. The corner stone of this building was laid June 15th, 1873, and it was dedicated January 18th, 1874.

The following ministers of the Reformed church have served this people: John N. Zeizer, Isaac Shellhamer, John A. Reubelt, John W. Lesher, Samuel Seibert, who resigned in 1855; John B. Porner, Henry Hoffman, who left in the spring of 1871, and the present pastor, John M. Clemens, who was installed in the autumn of 1871.

The Lutheran preachers have been: Revs. George Eyster, John Benninger, Jeremiah Shindle, Rev. C. F. F. Sallmon, 1842-56; Rev, William Haskarl, 1857, 1858; Rev. R. S. Wagner, 1859-64. The Lutherans were without a pastor until the autumn of 1867, when Rev. S. S. Kline was installed. He remained till the autumn of 1873. In the spring of 1874 Rev. Jacob H. Neiman, the present pastor, was installed. The present trustees of the church are: William Seiwell and Jacob J. Minnick, Reformed, and Samuel Wagner and Christian Else, Lutheran.

The present membership of the Reformed church is 250 and that of the Lutheran 235. The church property is valued at $6,000.

The union Sunday-school of these churches grew out of the school organized by Asher Stout in the old school- house soon after it was built. Samuel Benner is super- intendent; S. B. Drum, secretary; E. P. Snyder and W. Heller, librarians; Anna Benner and E. P. Snyder, man- agers. The total number of scholars is 113; average attendance, 75.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF CONYNGHAM.

This church was organized by a committee of the Pres- bytery of Newton, December 19th, 1841, and composed of eighteen members received by letter from the Pres- byterian church of Beaver Meadow, Pa., viz .: Philip Winterstene, William T. Rhoads, Archibald Delaney, James Gilmore, Mary Winterstene, Amy Rhoads, Letitia McCarty, Jane Sterling, Martha Shelhammer, Mary Muncey, Keziah Brundage, Cornelia Godfrey, Martha Kan, Mary Sterling, Margaret Winterstene, Sarah Ann Miller, Jane Miller and Elijah Cramer.

Philip Winterstene was installed as ruling elder. The first pastor, Rev. Daniel Gaston, served from 1841 to 1844. The first place of meeting was the Pine Grove school-house, Seybertsville. A branch society of about a

dozen members was formed at the same time at Drum's. The first and only church building was built of brick on the hill north of Seybertsville.

From 1841 to 1844 Daniel Gaston was pastor; Robert Steele, a licentiate, then served three months; Rev. Darwin Cook was stated supply from 1845 to 1847; Rev. John Johnson from 1848 to 1871, and Rev. C. Bridgman six months in 1873 and 1874. Since then Rev. Homer S. Newcomb has been pastor. The membership is 51; value of church property, $2,000.

IMMANUEL EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH.

This church was organized in 1858, in the old school- house at Conyngham. The original members were Thomas Houseknecht and his wife Nancy Houseknecht, Elijah McMurtrie and a Miss Root. The regular ser- vices were held once in two weeks, alternately by Revs. Messrs. Culler, E. A. Sharretts and George Bergstresser. In the spring of 1860 Rev. R. H. Fleck became pastor. The place of preaching was now changed to the old Pine Grove school-house at Seybertsville. The following winter a number were converted there and united with this church. After Mr. Fleck Rev. Mr. Crebbs preached a short time, and next Rev. George Eicholtz. During his administration (in 1865) the society built its present church edifice in the village of Seybertsville, a ta cost of $1,300. Mr. Eicholtz was succeeded by Rev. J. B. Shoup. Seybertsville, Black Creek and Butler were then known as the "Conyngham charge." During his ad- ministration a large number were added to the church. Rev. George S. Battersby was then pastor until 187 1. From 1871 to 1874 the church was supplied by different ministers and theological students. Since June, 1874, Rev. J. Wager has been pastor. The membership is about 60.

CONYNGHAM.

This town plot was surveyed as early as 1806. The land was owned formerly by John Maxwell Nesbitt, who received it by patent dated July 4th, 1787. September 26th, 1803, it was willed to David Hayfield Conyngham. September 27th, 1806, the land passed from John God- fried Watchmuth to Benjamin Rush, who deeded it May Irth, 1809, to Redmond Conyngham, who was one of the most prominent men of his time in the township. He had the village site surveyed, and named CONYNGHAM. July Ist, 1809, Conyngham deeded to Jacob Drumheller lot No. 6, in the south part of this plot, now owned and occupied by Samuel Wagner. Lot No. 7, now occupied by Thomas Bowman, was deeded in 1808 by Benjamin Rush to Philip Drum.

The first tavern at Conyngham was built on the site of the Conynham Hotel in 1815. It was partly of logs and partly framed. Soon afterward Samuel Harmon built a tavern of hewn logs on the site of the Phoenix Hotel. He had a trout pond in the rear of where William Charles's store now stands.

Mr. Harmon was the first postmaster. William Drum kept the office in 1830, where C. H. Kneely now lives.

CONYNGHAM VILLAGE-SEYBERTSVILLE-UNION'S PIONEERS.

A tannery on the site of Nathan Radler's larger estab- lishment was built in 1820 by a Mr. Lomison. The iron foundry was built in 1842 by M. Hutton, and is now owned by James Getting.

Conyngham has two churches, Methodist Episcopal and Christ Church (German Reformed and Lutheran); three physicians, a school-house, two hotels, two stores, two harness shops, two tin shops, two blacksmith shops, a tailor shop, two milliner shops, a planing mill recently built, and an iron foundry. The population is 400.

During the spring of 1880 the Black Ridge Coal Com- pany was engaged in "proving coal" near Conyngham station, preparatory to putting up a breaker. The com- pany owns two 400-acre tracts. The westerly one con- tains Conyngham station.

Coxe Bros. & Co. were lately building a wagon road from the Conyngham Station road to Gowen. They control all the land, except one tract at Tomhicken, for nearly 15 miles westward from the Conyngham station tract, and are sinking a slope just east of Tom- hicken.

Conyngham Lodge, No. 308, Independent Order of Odd Fellows was instituted in 1848. The lot and building where Odd Fellows' Hall now stands, near Christ Church, were donated by Jacob Drumheller. The old building was enlarged, a lodge room arranged overhead; and the lower room fitted up for a store, the whole cost- ing about $1,000, which was put into stock and taken by the members of the lodge, who number about 60,

The first lease of water privilege was given by Conrad and Sarah Harman, September 1st, 1814, for fifty years, "the inhabitants of Conyngham to have free ingress and egress to and from the spring." The spring thus leased is a little south of the present post-office. The property is now owned by G. H. Knelly.

The next lease for water for the village was obtained by John Cool and George Drum from the Conyngham family, and ran for 30 years from August 16th, 1821, with a rental of one shilling a year. The spring covered by this lease is on the side of the mountain, southeast of the village. The first pipe, consisting of logs, was laid to supply the town with water. Each person or family using the water paid, or was to pay, twenty cents per month for it. This rate did not keep up needed repairs, and the shilling a year to Conyngham was never paid. Before the lease expired John N. Conyngham sold the land upon which the spring is located, to Mordecai Hut- ton. Hutton was sold out by the sheriff in 1853 and left the country, and the old company by their heirs have had control of the water.

January 3d, 1880, the Conyngham Water Company was chartered, with a capital of $2,000, divided into 100 shares The directors are Samuel Benner, Frank M. Brundage, J. D. Getting, John F. Robbins, Thomas Bowman, George W. Drumheller, G. H. Knelly, William F. Tressler and Hon. G. W. Drum. President, John F. Robbins; treasurer, F. M. Brundage; secretary, Samuel Benner. Iron pipes of sufficient size were laid in 1880 to supply the town of Conyngham with water.

SEVBERTSVILLE.

This village was settled as early as ISHI or 1812.

The first tavern here was built by Benjamin Koenig in 1825, where Henry Dryfoos's house now stands, on the northeast corner of the crossing. It was rebuilt in 1835.

The first school-house was built by subscription in 1836 or 1837, and stood where the present one stands, a little west from the corners.

The first store was kept by Henry Seybert in 1833, on the southeast corner, where Mrs. Billhamer now lives. Henry Seybert was the first postmaster. Samuel Balliett is the present one. and the office is kept in W. Santee's store, on the southeast corner.

The present grist-inill was built in 1861, by Jacob Bill- hamer, and it is now owned by Henry Bird.

The place has a hotel, one physician, two churches (Presbyterian and Evangelical Lutheran), a harness shop, a store, two blacksmith shops, a wagon shop, a school- house, a grist-mill and 150 inhabitants.

UNION TOWNSHIP.

NION township was formed of part of Hunt- ington at the quarter sessions of the court of Luzerne county in July, 1813. It extends along the Susquehanna river about three miles, and back from the river northwest five or six miles. The population was 1,687 in 1870, and 920 in 1880.

The earliest settlement is believed to have been made about 1790, by Peter Gregory and George Fink, who had married each other's sisters, and had formerly lived in the valley of the Delaware. They settled on a large tract, embracing a beautiful and fertile valley, on the northwest side of the river mountain. The east branch of the Shickshinny creek furnished power for mills and other machinery, which was soon used. The first mills were built on their claim, which is yet nearly all in pos- session of their descendants. Soon afterward Stephen Arnold and Moses Derby, brothers-in-law, located where Muhlenburg now is. They were Yankees from Connec- ticut, and soon cleared farms. Deer and other animal ; were often shot in their small clearings. In 1793 both settlements made hospitable resting places for the emi- grants to Huntington valley, where they were cared for without being asked for any recompense. During that year, and several succeeding years, a large immigration to Huntington valley was continued by people from Connec- ticut. The moving was generally accomplished in the winter, on sleds drawn by oxen, with occasionally a horse hitched before as leader, and when the Hudson river was frozen, crossing that and other streams on the ice. The roads were the old Indian paths, slightly improved, and nearly impassable by wagons. In 1797 Stephen Roberts, from Plymouth, settled about midway between the other

settlements, and shortly Marvins, Culvers and Shaws werc making pleasant homes in the wilderness.

About the same time the families of James Van Scoter (now called Benscoter) and his sons Anthony and John, also three then unmarried sons, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, were added to the Dutch settlement; all left numerous descendants. About the same time also the Bellas, Dav- enport, Hans, Muchler, Huff and Cragle families were added.

In 1799 William Moore, an Irishman from Maryland, with a large family, settled at the place now known as Mooretown. His descendants still own the farm. A granddaughter, Mrs. John Harned, now lives therc. The Huffman, Harned, Post, Bonham, Wolfe, Johnson and Santee families came soon after 1800, and nearly all homes then formed are still retaincd in the families of descend- ants.

December 24th, 1801, Shadrach Austin, a son of the first occupant of Shickshinny, married Mary Gregory, daughter of . Peter Gregory, sen., and bought the present Austin homestead, where he spent the remainder of his life. He was a teacher and a leader among his ncigh- bors, and during a long, active life "Uncle Shadrach " was almost universally spoken of as an examplar worthy of imitation. He was born July 12th, 1770, and died De- cember 26th, 1850.

In 1815 John Hartman, of Northampton county, bought a farm and moved into a house where Samuel Huff had lived several years, which is now owned by his son Stephen Hartman. As the land could be bought at a low price and proved very productive, other old neighbors from Northampton and Lehigh counties soon followed, and a German settlement was formed, as the Masters, Hobbes, Baer, Adelman and Neville families all obtained land near the Hartmans, and long retained many of the customs and characteristics of the German population of the Lehigh valley.

Peter Gregory, jr., and Richard Gregory, sons of the first settler, bought and occupied tarms. Richard is still living, aged ninety-two years. Joseph Gregory and John Gregory, sons of Peter, own and occupy parts of the old homestead.

In 1813 James Search bought of Philip and Margaret Hann the place ncar the river now known as the Jessup farm, where he raised his family. His son Lot married Christina Fink, and settled just above Shickshinny. A very good quarry of building and flag stones is now owned and worked by his son -in-law, A. C. Nicely, on the place where he raised his family and built a large stone house and other good buildings, which have all been abandone. 1 for several years past, as all the children made homes in Shickshinny.

TEACHERS, SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES.

One generation grew up without suitable provision for instruction, though many succeeded in learning to read and write, and some attained to more intellectual eleva- tion. Shadrach Austin was a teacher. Jonah Rogers taught some time in the Marvin and Roberts neighbor-

hood with good success. Truman H. Clark, from New York State, was a popular and useful teacher many years. Miss Caroline Turner, Miss Anne Turner, Mrs. M. L. T. Hart- man, Miss Leah Santee and other educated women were of much benefit to the young, and assisted in infusing a general desire for their advancement in mental culture.

Now the public schools are well attended by industrious pupils. There are seven school-houses, in which schools are taught six or seven months each year. There are Sunday-schools held in four school-houses and two churches.

Zerah Marvin, an early resident, spent a long, useful life as farmer, merchant and preacher, assisted by others of the Baptist faith -Joel Rogers, Elias Dodson and Samuel Chapin, in Huntington, and Griffin Lewis, of Plymouth. Their labors each Sunday, places for preach- ing and other ministrations, were mutually arranged, and extended over nearly half the county. They worked without pay. All lived comfortably on farms, and each reached near four-score years. If the needy asked as- sistance, temporally or spiritually, they were sure of meet- ing with brotherly regard.

There are two churches in the township, both built in 1850; one by the Baptists, near Muhlenburg, and the other by the Methodists, near Mooretown; each costing $1,000 or $1,200. The M. P. church has preaching and other services at school-houses. All support salaried ministers.

SOCIETIES.

Muhlenburg Lodge, No. 899, I. O. of O. F. was in- stituted in 1875, January 28th. The present officers are: R. M. Edwards, N. G .; Arthur S. Hartman, V. G .; J. L. Glace, secretary; William H. Masters, treasurer; past officers, J. L. Glace, Charles B. Gregory, T. M. Bonham, T. M. Brown, John Harnet, A. H. Allen, J. K. Lunger, A. S. Hartman and Elisha Roberts. Meetings are held weekly at the hall, on Saturday evenings.

McKendree Grange was organized September 29th, 1876, with J. Miner Woodworth, M .; R. M. Edwards, O .; T. F. Shepherd, L .; M. L. T. Hartman, C .; R. A. Har- rison, P .; S. A. Woodworth, F .; Addie H. Edwards, L. A. S .; B. B. Harrison, Chap .; J. B. Benscoter, S .; J. C. Tubbs, A. S .; William H. Harrison, Sec .; Joseph H. Harrison, Treas .; J. Masters, G. K .; committee for busi- ness, Washington Wheeler, Silas Benscoter, Dodson Culver. It continues in good working order, with much benefit to the membership and neighborhood. It meets weekly-Thursday evenings.

JUSTICES.

Soon after the formation of Union township John T. Miller was appointed justice of the peace, under the con- stitution of 1790, for life or during good behavior.

In 1818 Ichabod Shaw was appointed; 1820, Shad- rach Austin; 1832, Lot Search. The last two appointees served until 1840, when the office became elective. John Blanchard and Truman H. Clark were elected for five years from April 14th, 1840. By the division of

HUNLOCK, SALEM AND UNION TOWNSHIPS AND SHICKSHINNY BOROUGH.

J. F. BRIGGS, M. D.

J. F. Briggs, M. D., of Shickshinny, was born in Hollenback, February 28th, 1836, and is a physician and druggist. He married Miss Sallie Whitebread, of Hollenback. He was a member of Company C 178th Pa. volunteers during the war of the Rebellion.

MRS. M. L. T. HARTMAN.

Mrs. M. L. T. Hartman, a daughter of Inther Trescott, was born in Huntington, September 7th, 1517. She received such education as the schools of those days afforded. By a judicious course of reading and close observation she has become eminent for her intelligence and con- versational powers. At intervals for the last forty years she has been engaged in teaching. A majority of the inhabitants of Union township between ten and thirty-five years of age have at some time been her pupils. She divides her time between the duties of a farmer's wife and those of press correspondent, local historian and poetess. She married Stephen Hartman, July 2nd, 1840.

WILLIAM KOONS.

William Koons, miller and farmer, was born in Monroe county, Pa., April 14th, 1800, and when about seventeen came to Luzerne county, where he carried on a mercantile business over forty years. He has been twice married, Miss Sarah Fuller, of Huntington township, being his first wife, and Susan Horton (formerly Susan Bacon, daughter of Septimus Bacon) his second. Mr. Koons had a family of eight sons and one daughter. In 1835 he was elected to the office of county commis- sioner, and in 1847 to that of sheriff. His residence is at Stone Bridge, one mile west of Shickshinny.
