At an early day in Newton's history the nearest store was at Wilkes-Barre. Joseph Coon, in relating some of his pioneer experiences, says that he once carried a grist of rye to mill at Slocum Hollow (Scranton) on his back; on his return he dared not take the flour from his shoulders, for fear he would not have strength to shoulder it again, and he rested by leaning against a tree whenever his strength began to fail him.

Timothy McClusky says that in his youthful days he used to go down on to the river flats and work for farmers, taking his pay in grain, and at night carry the grain on his back to the mill at Pittston, wait for it to be ground and take the flour home the same night. One night, while returning over the mountain, he was over- taken by a storm; and, it being too dark to find his way, he had to spend the night in the forest, frightening off the wolves. He also says that he has carried butter from Newton to Wilkes-Barre and traded it off at six cents per pound for groceries.

The pioneer store and ashery was kept by Elias Smith. He bought ashes of the settlers and made from them potash, which he traded in Wilkes-Barre for such dry goods and groceries as the pioneers needed, and took more ashes from his neighbors in pay for the goods. He was a soldier in the war of 1812, and died in 1864. He built the first framed house in Newton township.

The first regular store was kept by Solomon Strong, where the Van Sickler Hotel now stands at Newton Center. Dr. Charles Kelly succeeded Strong, but in a short time returned to Tunkhannock. In 1842 E. A. and George Carey and Thomas Atherton purchased a barn of Chauncey Sherwood and converted it into a store, which they kept about twelve years. They were suc- ceeded by L. H. Litts, who subsequently built a store on the site of John Hice's residence. This was burned in 1861, and Mr. Litts occupied Sherwood's store till his appointment as warden of Pittston poor-house, when he sold his goods to Chauncey Sherwood, who continued in

the business several years. Henry Sham has kept a clothing store at Newton Center at three different times. The old Sherwood store is now occupied by L. B. Ayres as a dwelling. In 1861 or 1862 Ira Litts built the Hice store; a few years later he sold to John Hice, the present merchant at Newton Center.

Previous to 1841 there was no licensed tavern in New- ton township. The traveler was accommodated by any of the hospitable citizens upon whom he happened to call. In 1841 James Van Sickler purchased the stone building of Solomon Strong and converted it into a tavern, which he kept several years. At his death he was succeeded by his son Solomon, who now keeps the Van Sickler House at Newton Center. In 1842 Chauncey Sherwood built a dwelling house at Newton Center, and subsequently converted it into a hotel, known as tlie Sherwood House, which he kept several years. The property is now owned by Aaron Fuller, and is occupied as a private dwelling.

Dr. Andrew Bedford was the first practicing physician, and he was succeeded by Dr. Hiram Nichols, who lived in Abington. Dr. H. S. Cooper, who studied medicine with B. A. Benton, M. D., of Tunkhannock, and grad- uated from the Pennsylvania Medical College, at Phil- adelphia, located at Newton Center in 1842; left in 1850, but has practiced here since 1858, excepting a year in the army. Dr. S. M. Wheeler practiced for a few months after 1850, and was followed by Dr. J. Keeney, from La- ceyville. He died in the spring of 1852. Dr. James

Decker was the next physician. He died here in 1860. Dr. J. A. Hann has been at Newton Center since 1860. Dr. P. F. Hubler, of Huntington, Pa., graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia, in 1877, and located in Newton the same year, where he is practicing.

The first school was taught by Parley Von Cleveland, as early as 1812 or 1815, in a log house built for that purpose. He was succeeded by John Mott and Anthony Briggs.

Some years later a larger and more convenient house was built of hewn logs, on the "widow Shaw place." Anthony Briggs and others taught in it. Among the surviving pupils of these pioneer schools are Jane Courtright, John Thompson, Timothy McClusky, Charles, William and Zebulon Comstock and Ellen, Jacob and David M. Smith. In 1830 a frame school-house was built in front of where the Baptist church now stands, but it has been gone several years.

Newton Hall Academy, on Presbyterian hill, was built in 1847, and the first term was taught by Rev. Mr. Osmond. The late C. S. Stark, of Pittston, also taught one term. None but the higher branches were taught. The academy building is now occupied by the Good Templars.

There are six good schools in this township, the Ridge, Lacoe, Casner, Shook, Fireproof, Shultzville and Port Royal schools.

Until 1844 the nearest post-office was at Buttermilk Falls. In 1844 Henry Litts was appointed postmaster, and he kept the office at his house. The mail was then

brought once a week on horseback over the mountain from Old Forge. Mr. Litts was succeeded by Chauncey Sherwood, who kept the office at his house in Newton Center.

The pioneer saw-mill was built by Elias Smith, in 1821, on Gardner's creek. He operated it till it was worn out. He then built the one now owned and operated by his son Elias Smith. In 1841 L. H. Litts and Chauncey Sherwood built the saw-mill half a mile east of the Litts farm. The Fitch saw-mill, on Falls creek at Brinktown, was built in 1840, and is now owned and operated by L. G. Damon, of Pittston. A steam saw-mill, one and a half miles north of Newton Center, on the road to Shultzville, was built by Solomon Hopkins & Son in 1868. The Hartley saw-mill, near Shultzville, was built by Esquire Hartley about 1850. Mckinstry & Childs converted it into a steam mill, and it was subsequently burned.

Edward Rozell carried on blacksmithing a number of years from 1821. C. Van Buskirk subsequently built his present shop at Newton Center.

The Keystone tannery, at Shultzville, was built in 1860 by John B. Shultz, who sold it in 1865 to Mckinstry & Childs. About 1875 Mckinstry became sole owner. This is a sole leather tannery, and employs about 60 men annually. There is a large company store in connection with the tannery, kept by A. B. Mckinstry.

RELIGIOUS.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF NEWTON.

This church, worshiping at Newton Center, was organ- ized October 29th, 1835, by Revs. J. Rhoades and J. Dorrance. The original members were Peter Corselius, Peter Richards, Peter Ayers, Isaac Rozell and Samuel Clark and their wives, Sarah Comstock, Mary Carman, Matilda Rozell and Harriet Thompson. Of these only Maria Corselius, Matilda Rozell and Harriet Thompson are living.

The first meetings were held in school-houses, and the first minister after the organization was Rev. J. Rhoades, about two years; Rev. N. G. Parke, of Pittston, then sup- plied the church every four weeks. Rev. Owen Brown preached once in two weeks for about two years. Rev. Jonathan Osmond was pastor for two years from 1848; then Rev. W. E. Holmes, two and a half years; Rev. J. B. Adams, five years; Rev. J. H. Sargent, five years; Rev. A. G. Harnard, five; Rev. J. S. Hanna, one. The church is now without a pastor. The pulpit is supplied by Rev. J. M. Phillips.

A neat church edifice, of wood, was built in 1848, on a lot donated by W. C. Ayers. The society also owns a parsonage. The church membership is about 80.

Horace Collum was the first superintendent of the Sunday-school.

BAPTIST CHURCH.

This is an outgrowth of the Falls Baptist church, and was constituted in the spring of 1828, in the eastern part of Falls, now Newton township, with four members-Elias Smith, Samuel Mittain, Catharine Litts and Mrs. Fritchell. Rev. Isaac D. Jones, a licentiate of the church at Exeter, was the preacher until 1833. Rev. John Miller preached occasionally from 1836 to 1839, and Rev. James Clark part of 1840.

February 2nd, 1845, the Falls Baptist church was for- mally disbanded, and the Newton Baptist church organ- ized. Rev. Silas Finn preached half the time during the next three years, and in 1853 Rev. John Miller accepted a call to preach half the time. February 9th, 1877, he became pastor, and H. S. Cooper and John Rosenkrans were elected deacons. Rev. Charles Parker succeeded Mr. Miller, and preached till March, 1859; Rev. J. C. Sherman till December, 1861, and in the summer of 1862, when he entered the army as chaplain. Till April, 1867, the church was without a pastor. Then Rev. J. C. Sher- man preached a year.

All this time the church had been meeting in school- houses and wherever most convenient. January 18th, 1868, Dr. H. S. Cooper, Rev. Mr. Sherman, J. Rolosen,

Mr. Biesecker and E. Taylor were appointed a building committee. The church building was dedicated Novem- ber 28th, 1871, by Rev. W. P. Helling. of Scranton. It is of wood, thirty-six by fifty feet, neatly finished and fur- nished.

After Mr. Sherman Rev. George Lukins preached a year, and Rev. Newell Callender three years. Rev. W. G. Comstock is the present pastor. The church property is valued at $5,000.

The Sunday-school was organized in 1872. John Coon is the superintendent.

THE CHAPEL AT SHULTZVILLE

was built by John B. Shultz in 1861 or 1862, and was for several years used jointly for school and religious pur- poses. Since the building of a school-house there the chapel is occupied exclusively for religious meetings.

NEWTON M. E. CHURCH.

The old red school-house at Newton Center was a regular place for preaching for 20 years before the cor- porate organization of the church in November, 1846. The first trustees were Jacob Smith, Nathaniel Richards, Timothy Drake, Peter Bedell, Jesse Beemer, Alexander Beemer, George Albright, Noah Patrick and John Meiss. Peter Bedell, Jacob Smith, James Van Sickler, Nathaniel Richards and Peter Rutan were the building committee who had a church erected in 1847, at a cost of $600. During the pastorate of Rev. C. E. Taylor Jacob Smith was appointed leader of a class numbering 23. After holding occasional revivals, with a steady increase of membership, for 28 years the old house was abandoned on the 8th of December, 1875. A new charter was ob- tained and in 1876 a church edifice with steeple and bell (the first church bell in the township) was erected at a cost of $4,000. The Newton circuit is believed to have been constituted in 1840, with five regular places of wor- ship-Newton Center, Milwaukee, Falls, Mill City and Overfield. The new church was dedicated by Rev. Dr. Reuben Nelson during the pastorate of Rev. Isaac Austin.

The Sabbath-school, which was established in the early days of the society, is still flourishing, numbering 45 scholars. The church membership is 56.

The pastors since the new charter are Revs. Isaac Austin and William Shelp. Those previous: Revs. Charles Giddings, White, Reddy, Samuel Griffin, John Mulkey, Dayton F. Reed, C. E. Taylor, Wilcox, Benjamin Ellis, Owen, Schoonmaker, Sterling, E. F. Roberts, John La Bar, John Wilbur, J. D. Safford, Miner Swallow, G. W. Leach, P. S. Holbrook, J. W. Munger, G. M. Peck, D. Personius, E. N. Pardee, Asa J. Van Cleft, E. Puffer, Isaac Austin, R. S. Rose, A. Brigham and A. J. Arnold.

BALD MOUNT LODGE, NO. 731, I. O. OF G. T.

was instituted at Newton Center, July 30th, 1869, with 50 charter members. It is in a flourishing condition, holding regular meetings on Friday evening of each week in Good Templars' Hall. It has enrolled over 300

members and has a full treasury. Miss Jennie Petty; a member of this lodge, is an earnest advocate and worker in the temperance cause.

OLD FORGE TOWNSHIP.

HIS township was formed from Lackawanna township, May 26th, 1871, and contains about nine square miles. The population in 1880 was 1,408.

Among the pioneers none was more prominent in business affairs and in the develop- ment of the township's resources, than Doctor William Hooker Smith, who came here in 1789, after having lived in the Wilkes-Barre clearing from 1772. He was a competent surgeon and physician, and, excepting Dr. Sprague, he was the only physician in 1772 between Cochecton and Sunbury, a distance of 150 miles. He was a plain, practical man, with all the old fashioned faith in the virtues of bleeding.

In the spring of 1789 Dr. Smith and James Sutton built a forge just above the mouth of Ascension brook, on the rocky edge of the Lackawanna and just below the rapids or falls. This was the only concern of the kind in all old Westmoreland, except one at Newport, built in 1777. The traces of the old forge are still plainly to be seen, and antiquarians still dig around it for relics. From it the township derives its name.

Among the other early settlers was William Miller, who in 1782 built a little grist-mill on Miller's Mill creek, across the road from shaft No. 13 of the Pennsylvania Coal Company. It went to decay, and a saw-mill was built on the same site, which has given place to a black- smith shop. A part of the old dam is still there. Many a good joke is told of " Uncle Billy," as he was familiarly called. He was always unusually attentive to the spout where the meal from his customers' grists came from the stone, and was always feeling of the meal as it came through ; and his coat sleeves, being large, would natu- rally catch considerable dust (not any meal, of course !), which he would shake off into an empty barrel. Every- body though him honest, but wondered how "'mazin' fast that bar'l filled up."

Charles Drake in 1808 built the house now occupied by Ebenezer Drake, near the Lackawanna depot. He built a tannery on a small scale where Drake's store now stands, at Old Forge village, and afterward kept a tavern at the same place.

The pioneer school-house was built of logs, on the site of the present one, on the corner west of John D. Mil- ler's.

The foundry now owned and operated by G. M.& S. H. Miller was built by John Drake, who sold to William Howard. A foundry was built by Edmund B. Babb about 1820, a short distance above the mouth of Ascension

creek, which he operated for a few years, but it finally went to decay.

The little hamlet below the Lackawanna depot was named "Babylon " by John B. Babb, who kept a store there a few years in the primitive days. Calvin Stock- bridge kept a tavern at Babylon in 1832. In pioneer times John B. Babb had a small grist-mill a short distance above the mouth of Ascension creek. He built the origi- nal log bridge across the Lackawanna river, on the site of the present iron bridge.

John D. Miller has lived where he now resides since 1832, but has by the changing of county and township lines lived in two counties and three townships; he has also been justice of the peace in the two counties and three townships, having been elected first in Pittston, then in Lackawanna and twice in Old Forge.

Erastus Smith, James Knapp, James Scott and the Atherton family, who located in the north end of the township, were among the pioneers.

In 1816 James A. Gordon built the old wood colored house just below the old Atherton place. Here he kept a store several years.

The first postmaster of Old Forge was William Drake; the present one is Ebenezer Drake.

The following justices have been elected for Old Forge: A. B. Weisenflue, 1874; Charles Smith, 1875; John D. Miller, 1877; E. E. Astor, 1877; Joseph Marcy, 1879.

COAL INTERESTS OF OLD FORGE.

Pyne shaft, in the north end of the township, owned by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Com- pany, employed in 1878 297 men and boys, and mined 109,506 tons. Sibley shaft, near the center of the town- ship, employed during 1878 247 men and boys in the mine, which produced 51,472 tons. Shaft No. 13, in the sontheast corner of the township, owned by the Pennsyl- vania Coal Company, employed in 1878 35 men and boys. The production for that year was 12,718 tons.

RANSOM TOWNSHIP.

R ANSOM township was formed in 1849, from parts of Exeter and Newton, and named in honor of Captain Samuel Ransom, who raised a company in 1777 for the defense of the Wyoming valley, and fell in the battle of July 3d, 1778. The population of the town- ship was 646 in 1880.

The first white inhabitant was John Gardner, who came in 1769 from Colchester, Conn. In 1778, a few days before the Wyoming massacre, he was captured by Indians and tories. Before his departure he advised his wife to take their five children to Connecticut, and re- main with her friends until it would be safe to return. He then bade his wife and children a final farewell; an

Indian placed a load upon his shoulders which he could scarcely raise, then put a halter around his neck, and led him away as he would a beast. Mr. Gardner became exhausted before reaching what is now Geneva, N. Y., and was given over to the squaws, who tortured him to death by driving his body full of pitch pine sticks and setting them on fire. Mrs. Gardner returned with her five children to Connecticut. In due time she came back to Ransom, and lived with her son John till her death, which occurred August 25th, 1834, when she was 91 years old. She was buried in the old ground at Ransom.

John and Richard Gardner settled on the farm pur- chased by their father in 1769, at the mouth of Gardner's creek. John was chiefly engaged in farming. He was the father of four children, and died March 30th, 1836, aged 64 years. Richard established Gardner's Ferry at Ransom. He was accidentally shot by a companion in one elbow while on a bear hunt. He was the father of eleven children, three of whom are yet living. He died July 4th, 1859, aged 92 years. His son Benjamin, though permanently paralyzed in the lower limbs at the age of eleven, became an active business man, filling the posi- tions of merchant, tavern keeper and postmaster for many years, and was known throughout the country as " Uncle Benny " Gardner. He died October 24th, 1879, at the age of 85. The three surviving children are Sam- uel, aged 82; Celinda, aged 80; and Harriet, widow of the late Silas Sutton, aged 73.

Peleg Comstock came from Connecticut about the same time with the Gardners, and settled on a tract of land which he " patented," near Gardner's creek, now owned by P. K. & Jesse Richards. He had a large family. He died at an advanced age, and was buried in the old ground at Ransom.

John McMillan, from Ireland, early located on the farm now owned by D. M. Huthmaker. He was a school teacher and a physician. He had eleven children. His son Alexander married Nancy Montanye, and the names of " Uncle Aleck " and "Aunt Nancy " were synonyms for good in every household. He died November 25th, 1869, at an advanced age.

F. Sandway, John Baumgardner, John Rader, Andrew Nett, Philip Shellenberger and Charles Resler came to Ransom in 1841, from Germany, and settled on what is known from then as " German hill."

The pioneer grist-mill was built on Gardner's creek, in 1825, by Phineas Sherwood, who sold it to Absalom Young, and he to Jacob Dershimer, who in 1844 built the present mill on the site of the old one. It was next owned by Nathan and Jacob Keim, and is now by Thomas Johnson. A foundry was built in 1851 by Wil- liam Vosburg, a short distance from the mill. It is now owned by S. E. Griffin, who is building a new one near. The first saw-mill was built in 1851, by one Twitchel, across the creek from the grist-mill. It was rebuilt by William Vosburg and is now owned by the heirs of Wil- liam Timpkins. The saw-mill in Ransom village was built in 1875, by J. G. Osborn, and is now operated by F. P. Osborn. The pioneer blacksmith shop was at Mil-

waukee village, and was rebuilt in 1836 by Abraham Michaels, who worked in it a number of years. It was bought and rebuilt by Daniel Skinner and L. H. Winters. The present owner is William Meyer, and the business is carried on by E. M. Winters. The first blacksmith shop in Ransom village was built in 1847, by Benjamin and Warren Smith.

The Ransom Valley Turnpike Company was incorpor- ated February 18th. 1871, and the following persons were appointed commissioners: L. H. Litts, P. K. Richards, Peter Bedell, George Damon, Chauncey Sher- wood, D. M. Huthmaker and Amos Sax. The present officers are N. G. Reed, Thomas Johnson, Amos Sax, Henry S. Decker and D. M. Huthmaker.

The pioneer tavern was kept by Benjamin Gardner, at Ransom, for about twenty-five years from IS12. It was opened in a small log cabin, built for that purpose by his father, Richard Gardner. A larger and more convenient house was built for him across the street. He was suc- ceeded by Benjamin Smith and Philip Drear, who made many improvements. The property was next owned by A. W. Clark, who sold to I. D. Gulick, and the building was burned in March, 1855. Gulick then kept tavern a year in another house. F. Sandway purchased the property and kept a tavern some years and sold to Jacob Bertels. The building is now a private dwelling. The present hotel was built in 1876, by J. Crowel, the present proprietor. In 1846 a tavern was built at the head of the first narrows on the road from Pittston to Ransom, by George Sax; it is now kept by J. Nafus.

The first store was kept by Benjamin Smith and Ira Gardner, in 1835. This store was built by Samuel Gardner in 1832, for a dwelling. It is now used for a stable. There was no other store here (excepting Uncle Benny's grocery) till 1846, when Abel and James Thomp- son built and opened one, which was burned in 1855. In 1864 Jacob Bertels built and opened a store near the

depot at Ransom, and in 1866 sold to F. Sandway, who still occupies it as a store and post-office. The first post- office was established about 1849, when Benjamin Gard- ner was appointed postmaster. The post-office at Mil- waukee was established in 1861, with N. G. Reed as postinaster. Thomas Johnson is the present incumbent. The office at Mountain Valley was established in 1868, with E. Trively as postmaster. M. Trively has suc- ceeded him.

Previous to 1846 there was a burying ground on the bank of the canal on the farm now owned by D. M. Huthmaker. The first interment was that of Richard Gardner's child, who died March 3d, 1797. The bury- ing ground near the Presbyterian church was donated by Jacob and John Dersheimer. The first interment was that of Conrad Shafer, a soldier of the Revolution, who died in 1846.

The following is the list of the justices of the peace elected for Ransom: Peter A. Smith, 1849, 1855; Benjamin Smith, 1849; Jacob Allabach, 1859; N. G. Reed, 1860, 1865, 1870, 1875; D. M. Huthmaker, 1862, 1867, 1872, 1877.

CHURCHES.

Lutheran .-- This church, in the village of Ransom, was built in 1845 and dedicated in 1847, during the pas- torate of Rev. John Lescher. For several years the pul- pit has been supplied by preachers from other places.
