Professor W. N. Lehman became principal in 1882 and has filled that po- sition continuously to the present time.

St. Joseph's Parochial School was started under the supervision of Sisters of the Order of St. Francis and continued by them several years. It was then conducted by lay teachers from 1887 to 1891. A frame building in the rear of St. Joseph's church was the school house, but plans have now (1891) practically matured for the erection of a substantial brick structure.

CHURCHES.

Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church was organized on the 18th of May, 1855, by Rev. C. J. Ehrhart with the following members: Peter Stroh, John Dreher, Frederick Fahrion, George Hornberger, Catherine Klinger, Sarah Dreher, Catherine Stroh, Mary Ann Fahrion, Christian Knapp, Lewis Knapp, Jonathan Klinger, George Long, Elizabeth Klinger, Magdalena Fagely, and Maria Steel. The first communion was held on the 20th of May, 1855. The congregation was reorganized in 1867 under the discipline and formula of government recommended by the General Synod with the follow- ing constituent members: Frederick Fahrion, Mary Ann Fahrion, Catherine Persing, Isaac Miller, Sarah Miller, Ellen Mc Williams, Frederick Miller and wife, John Dreher, Sarah Dreher, Catherine Stahr, Elizabeth Biles, Anna Dreher, J. H. Yarnall, Sarah Feisher, Catherine Christopher, Rebecca Schmeltz, Augustus Zimmerman, Carolina Zimmerman, A. F. Stecker, Mary A. Stecker, Elizabeth Lerch, Sarah Jane Raup, and Elizabeth Stillwagner. The first council was elected on this occasion and consisted of John Dreher and J. H. Yarnall, elders, and Isaac Miller and Frederick Fahrion, deacons. The new congregation was first represented in the Susquehanna Synod by Frederick Fahrion.

Decisive action for the erection of a church edifice was first taken on the 15th of June, 1863, when J. H. Yarnall, A. F. Stecker, Frederick Fahrion, David Llewellyn, and P. Van Horn were appointed as a committee to secure lots, prepare plans, and construct a frame church building forty-two by twenty-eight feet in dimensions. Mr. Llewellyn secured the location and Mr. Yarnall prepared the draft. Prior to this time the congregation wor- shiped at a frame school house on the southeast corner of Second street and Grape alley. On the 18th of October, 1863, the corner-stone of the new building was laid, Reverends P. Williard, R. A. Fink, D. D., and F. A. Barnitz, officiating. This structure was completed at a cost of seventeen hundred dollars and dedicated in the spring of 1867. It is a frame build- ing located on the south side of Mt. Carmel avenue, and is the present place of worship. The parsonage, a substantial frame building adjoining the church on the west, was erected in 1879-80 at a cost of thirteen hundred dollars.

MT. CARMEL.

The first pastor was Rev. C. J. Ehrhart, who served from the organi- zation of the church until the 27th of April, 1856, residing at Shamokin. His successor at that point, Rev. J. F. Wampole, became pastor of the Mt. Carmel church in 1858 (June 15th), and continued in that relation until the 1st of October, 1859. The church then became a part of the Ashland pas- torate, sharing as such in the labors of Rev. W. L. Heisler, October 1, 1859, to January 1, 1862, Rev. F. A. Barnitz, February, 1862, to February, 1867, and Rev. J. R. Sikes, February to December, 1867. The congregation was irregularly supplied by Rev. J. A. Adams from December 1, 1867, to April 19, 1868. At the meeting of the Susquehanna Synod in that year Mt. Car- mel was attached to the Shamokin Valley pastorate, of which Mr. Adams was pastor from the 1st of June, 1868, until the 1st of December, 1876. Rev. O. D. S. Marclay, of Ashland, was then pastor from June 3, 1877, to May 31, 1878. He was followed by Rev. C. W. Sechrist, the first resident pastor, who served from the 1st of February, 1879, to March 31, 1881. Rev. M. V. Shadow was pastor, October 1, 1881, to August 31, 1884, and Rev. J. C. Schindel, December 7, 1884, to 1891.

St. Matthew's Slavic Church, Lutheran and Calvinist, was erected in 1889.

Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church was organized on the 9th of June, 1889, with twelve members, of whom Henry Schweinhart and Jacob Lupold were elected as elders and John Lupold and Andrew Wetzel as deacons. They were installed on the 7th of July following. The first steps for effect- ing this organization were taken by Rev. J. C. Shindel, at whose instance Grace Lutheran church was placed at the disposal of the German Lutherans of the borough for religious worship. The mission was formally begun on the 17th of February, 1889, by Rev. Henry Weicksel, pastor of Grace Lu- theran church, Shamokin, whose son and successor, Rev. William Weicksel, is the present pastor. Since October, 1889, services have been held in pri- vate houses.

Methodist Episcopal Church .- The first Methodist sermons at Mt. Car- mel were preached by Joshua Potts and John H. James, local preachers. Regular services were first instituted in the fall of 1856 by Rev. Joseph Y. Rothrock, of Catawissa circuit; he was succeeded by Reverends John A. De Moyer and H. S. Mendenhall. The former held a protracted meeting in May, 1858, as a result of which a Methodist church was regularly organized on the 23d of that month with the following members: Abraham Camp, Olive Camp, David J. Lewis, Daniel Heiser, John H. Yarnall, Edward C. Murray, John J. Esher, Mary A. Knittle, Amanda Lewis, Henrietta Yarnall, Adam J. Miller, Phebe A. Heiser, Richard Phillips, Mary Jones, Carolina Esher, George A. Keeler, Mary Powell, Joanna Perry, Wilhelmina Neidig, David Camp, Lovina Camp, and Tacy Keeler, of whom David Camp was appointed leader.

HISTORY OF NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY.

The first place of worship was the old Second Street school house. The erection of a church building was indirectly due to Rev. F. B. Riddle, of Shamokin; Mr. Riddle visited Philadelphia in 1859 to solicit funds for the erection of a Methodist church at Shamokin, and called upon John Ans- pach for that purpose. Mr. Anspach had large interests in real estate at Mt. Carmel and offered to contribute two hundred fifty dollars for the build- ing of a church at that place. A local subscription was at once begun; a building committee was appointed, August 8, 1859, composed of Daniel Heiser, A. F. Stecker, Joseph Ramsey, John Yarnall, and David Heiser. A brick edifice, the first at Mt. Carmel, thirty-five by forty-five feet in dimen- sions, was erected on the west side of Hickory street; it was dedicated on the 29th of January, 1860, Reverends Thompson Mitchell, D. D., T. M. Reese, and S. W. Sears officiating. The cost of the building approximated fifteen hundred dollars. This was the place of worship until 1884, when the present substantial two-story brick church edifice was erected. The build- ing committee, appointed on the 23d of April, 1884, was composed of John Stine, Frederick Gross, William A. Phillips, Benjamin F. Fagely, H. T. John, M. K. Watkins, and William Schwenk. The corner-stone was laid on the 26th of July, 1884, and the dedication of the Sunday school room occurred November 23d of the same year; the completed edifice was finally dedicated on the 19th of September, 1886, Reverends E. J. Grey, D. D., M. L. Ganoe, S. M. Frost, D. D., and S. W. Sears officiating. This building is seventy-eight by forty-eight feet in dimensions, and cost eleven thousand dollars.

The succession of pastors since 1868, when Mt. Carmel became a station, has been as follows: 1868, J. A. Dixon; 1869, E. T. Swartz; 1870-72, P. F. Eyer; 1873-74, S. W. Sears; 1875, Alem Brittain; 1876-78, N. W. Col- burn; 1879-81, S. M. Frost, D. D .; 1882-83, W. W. Reese; 1884-85, S. W. Sears; 1886-88, M. L. Drum; 1889-91, W. G. Ferguson.

The Primitive Methodist Church was organized at the old Second Street school house. Among the leading early members were George Harvey, Moses Harvey, Thomas M. Thomas, David Harris, John Green, Josiah Bough, and William Flew. The present church edifice, a brick structure on the east side of Market street, was erected in 1872 and dedicated in 1873. Services were first regularly conducted by James Stoney, a local preacher; the succession of pastors has been as follows: Reverends John H. Acornley, Daniel Savage, Charles Miles, Benjamin Whillock, John A. James, Stephen Hancock, Samuel Penglase, John Mason, W. H. Acornley, and John P. Bar- low. A commodious parsonage adjacent to the church building was erected in 1887.

Congregational Church .- A Sunday school was organized in 1856, of which Rees Davis and W. W. Davis were superintendents; its meetings were held at the public school house, where Welsh preachers held services occa-

sionally for some years. A church was organized in 1858 by Rev. Thomas Rees, but disbanded two years later. The Sunday school also disbanded, but was reorganized in 1863 with W. W. Davis as superintendent. A per- manent church organization was formed, March 26-27, 1870, by Reverends W. W. Davis and W. B. Williams, with the following members: Thomas Williams, Messach Watkins, Morgan Davis, William Watkins, Benjamin Thomas, Margaret Williams, Sarah Watkins, Deborah Davis, Martha Thomas, Rebecca Respach, Elizabeth Evans, and Rachel Lewis. Thomas Williams, deacon, Messach Watkins, secretary, and Morgan Davis, treasurer, were the first officers. The Second Street school house was the place of worship at that time. The present frame church edifice, on the west side of Market street between Second and Third, was dedicated on the 23d of July, 1871. The following pastors have served this church: Rev. R. D. Thomas (1870- 72), E. R. Lewis, William Thomas, D. T. Davis, D. Todd Jones, W. W. Davis, Anthony Howels, and D. D. Davis, who was installed, May 31, 1886, and resigned in 1890.

Church of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel .- The first Catholic services in the vicinity of Mt. Carmel were held at Beaver Dale school house in the autumn of 1866 by Rev. J. J. Koch, pastor of St. Edward's church, Shamokin. He organized the congregation and had charge of it until November, 1868, when it was placed under the care of Rev. Daniel I. McDermott, then pastor of St. Ignatius's church at Centralia. Father McDermott soon afterward began the erection of a church edifice, which was completed and dedicated in Oc- tober, 1869; it was a one-story frame structure, forty-two by forty-four feet in dimensions. Soon after the dedication the parish was again placed in charge of Father Koch, who, in September, 1870, purchased two acres of land at Beaver Dale for a cemetery for the congregation. In October, 1871, Rev. E. T. Fields, Father McDermott's successor at Centralia, took charge of the Church of Our Lady; he was followed by Rev. J. J. O'Reilly, the first resi- dent pastor, who erected the present parochial residence in 1879-80. Rev. Mark A. O'Neill became pastor in the spring of 1887, and has served to the present time. Under his administration a substantial brick church edifice, beautifully frescoed, has been erected on Market street at a cost of thirty thousand dollars; it was dedicated by Bishop McGovern, May 30, 1888. The congregation comprises about two hundred fifty families.

St. Joseph's Catholic Church at Mt. Carmel was organized by Rev. Florian Klonowski in 1876 from the Polish Catholics formerly connected with the Church of Our Lady. He subsequently erected the present church edifice, a brick structure at the corner of Hickory and Sixth streets, and had charge of the parish until 1886, when he was succeeded by his brother, Rev. Jerome Klonowski, the present pastor. The parochial residence was built in 1885 on a lot adjoining the church edifice, in the rear of which is a parochial school house which accommodated one hundred forty children during the

term of 1889-90. It is taught by lay teachers, and is doing effective work. Since coming to Mt. Carmel Father Klonowski has had the parochial resi- dence painted, a fence built around the property, steam-heating apparatus put into both church and house, and has recently had the church beautifully frescoed. He has now (1890) in contemplation the erection of a new brick school house on the site of the present frame in the near future. The con- gregation numbers about fifteen hundred souls, while the church has a seat- ing capacity of only about five hundred.

The United Brethren Church was organized in 1866 by Rev. F. List, at the house of John Deitrick, with five members, viz .: Evan Frey, Henry Yeager, Catherine T. Deitrick, Rebecca Yeager, and Elizabeth Artz. The house of John Deitrick was the place of worship for several years, after which a frame building on the north side of Third street between Hickory and Market, formerly used for school purposes, was occupied until 1874; the present frame church edifice at the southwest corner of Vine and Third streets was then built at a cost of two thousand dollars. Rev. Thomas Gar- land, Lewis Deitrick, and John Byerly were the trustees at that time. The following pastors have served this church: Reverends F. List, 1866; J. Shoop, 1867-68; William B. Evers, 1869; A. P. Kaufman, 1870; Reverends Harts- horn and Nelson, 1871; S. R. Gipple, 1872-73; Thomas Garland, 1874-75; M. P. Sanders, 1876; S. R. Gipple, 1877-79; L. Kreamer, 1880-81; H. S. Gable, 1882-83; H. B. Spayd, 1883-84; J. G. Fritz, 1885-88; M. J. Heberly, 1889. Mt. Carmel became a mission station in 1883 and a self-supporting station in 1886. The parsonage was built in 1884, and the church edifice was remodeled in 1888.

Welsh Baptist Church .- Reverends Thomas Thomas and David Evans organized a Welsh Baptist church in 1871, of which Daniel Evans and Philip Thomas were the first deacons. After worshiping at a school house near the old Reading depot eighteen months the society disbanded. A reorganiza- tion was effected in 1879, and in 1880 a frame church edifice was built at the corner of Market and Third streets; it was dedicated on the 20th of June in that year, when ' William W. Watkins and William Lawrence were the dea- cons, and Evan Davis, William W. Watkins, and John P. Edwards were the trustees. The subsequent pastors were Reverends Jeremiah Griffith and Richard Edwards. The congregation finally disbanded in 1886.

Church of God .- Elders A. Snyder and Jacob Hepler were the first min- isters of this denomination who preached at Mt. Carmel. An organization was effected in 1880 by Elder J. C. Hoover, and the first members were Levi Werntz and wife, William S. Eyers and wife, and Benjamin Hepler and wife. Services were first held at private houses and at a school house near the old Reading depot. A building site on the east side of Chestnut street between Second and Third having been donated by Elizabeth Clouser, the present frame church edifice was erected thereon and dedicated on the 21st of Octo-

ber, 1883. It has since been materially enlarged. Elders J. C. Hoover, D. H. Mummah, S. Smith, F. Y. Weidenhammer, and J. W. Miller have suc- cessively served as pastors.

St. Paul's Church of the Evangelical Association .- The present church edifice was erected in 1871, at which time this was a preaching point on Ash- land circuit, of which Rev. James Lantz was preacher in charge. In 1872 Mt. Carmel was made a mission and placed in charge of Rev. James Bow- man. The membership at that time was twenty-five, and the society was burdened with debt. Fifty-seven accessions were made during the year, and under the next pastor, Rev. L. N. Worman, the membership increased to one hundred two. The official boards of the organization at that time were constituted as follows: trustees: Simon Light, Joseph Delcamp, Emanuel Kehler, William Shively, Jacob Rissinger, and Jonathan Hoover; stewards: Joseph Delcamp, Simon Light, Isaac Keiser, Emanuel Kehler, and Jonathan Deitrich; leaders: Simon Light, Jonathan Deitrich, Emanuel Kehler, and Joseph Schwartz. The following is a list of pastors since the mission was established: 1872, Rev. James Bowman; 1873-75, Rev. L. N. Worman; 1876, Rev. N. B. Sherk; 1877, Rev. A. M. Sampsel; 1878, Rev. N. A. Bair; 1879, Rev. A. Dilabar; 1880-82, Rev. J. W. Woehrle; 1883, Rev. J. S. Over- holser; 1884-86, Rev. J. R. Hensyl; 1887-88, Rev. G. C. Knobel; 1889-90, Rev. D. S. Stauffer.

The Sunday school was organized in June, 1871. There are two other auxiliary organizations: a Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor and a Mission Band, all, like the church in general, in a prosperous condition.

Grace Reformed Church was organized on the 14th of June, 1886, with the following members: C. T. Dechant and wife, George Becker and wife, Isaac Wolfgang and wife, Ben Wirt and wife, Henry Geist, Mary Dechant, Ada Dechant, Ella Dechant, Thomas Dechant, and Mr. Hawk. C. T. Dechant, Isaac Wolfgang, and George Becker were the first elders. The first trustees were Dr. J. G. Raessler, C. T. Dechant, Henry Geist, Frederick Klawitter, Nathan Haubenstein, William Ruths, and John Zutka. A Sunday school was organized on the 13th of May, 1888, with Dr. J. G. Raessler as superin- tendent. Services were first held in the G. A. R. hall on Hickory street, after which the Welsh Baptist church, corner of Market and Third streets, was rented and subsequently purchased .. The present church edifice, a frame structure twenty-five by forty feet in dimensions, was erected in 1890 under the supervision of a building committee composed of Dr. J. G. Raessler, Henry Geist, and C. T. Dechant. The corner-stone was laid on the 27th of March, 1890. Rev. George Dechant was pastor from June, 1886, until May, 1888, and Rev. H. H. Sando from May 13, 1888, to April 6, 1890.

First Presbyterian Church .- Reverends Caldwell, Milliken, Reardon, and other Presbyterian clergymen preached at Mt. Carmel occasionally under the

676

auspices of Northumberland Presbytery, but no organization was effected until the 10th of July, 1887, where a presbyterial committee, composed of Rev. H. G. Finney, Rev. J. W. Gilland, and S. A. Bergstresser, organized the First Presbyterian church with the following members: Thomas M. Righter, Mrs. Gertrude L. Righter, S. A. Bergstresser, Mrs. Voris Auten, Mrs. George B. Renn, Mrs. Emily Heiser, Mrs. Mary Benson, Charles J. Siegfried, Mrs. Kate Siegfried, Robert Penman, William Hillhouse, Mrs. Mary Hillhouse, Mrs. Mary Reid, William McIlwain, Mrs. Emily H. Bolich, Mrs. Margaret Lawson, Mrs. Agnes Ramage, John Reid, William" Reid, Henry F. Freeze, Alexander Taylor, Peter E. Jones, Mrs. Mary Ann Jones, Miss Margaret Penman, Miss Phyllis Jones, Mrs. Janet Reid Taylor, Mrs. Louisa Still- wagner, Miss Rebecca Gibson, Eli H. Snyder, William Finley, Mrs. Mar- garet Finley, Miss Margaret Reid, and Mrs. Elizabeth J. Jennings. S. A. Bergstresser, Robert Penman, and William Hillhouse were the first elders, and Thomas M. Righter, John Reid, and Eli H. Snyder were the first dea- cons. The first regular pastor, Rev. Stuart Mitchell, D. D., was installed on the 11th of June, 1889, and is the present incumbent. The G. A. R. hall was the place of worship until the 22d of December, 1889, when the present church edifice at the southeast corner of Fifth and Hickory streets was occu- pied for the first time. The corner-stone was laid, August 8, 1889, and the dedication occurred on the 11th of May, 1890. Dr. J. S. Lazarus, Thomas M. Righter, and Robert Muir composed the building committee. The Sun- day school was organized on the 2d of January, 1887, with Eli H. Snyder as superintendent.

CEMETERIES.

The Catholic Cemetery comprises ten acres and is situated at Beaver Dale, west of Mt. Carmel. The ground was purchased and inclosed by Rev. J. J. Koch in 1870, and has since been the burial place for the entire Cath- olic population of Mt. Carmel and vicinity. The space available for inter- ments has now been entirely utilized, and a movement is in progress for the purchase of additional ground.

The Mt. Carmel Cemetery Company was organized on the 29th of March, 1883, with O. H. Sillyman, president, Thomas Scott, secretary, and Charles Wightman, treasurer, who, with John Stine, Morgan Davis, Michael Hinkel, David J. Lewis, William McFee, and John Jefferson, were the charter mem- bers of the company. A plat of ground five hundred feet square, situated near Alaska, a mile and a half from the borough, was donated by the Phila- delphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company, and has been inclosed and improved. This had been a burial ground for some years previously, but the title was not vested in local hands.

THE history of Watsontown commences in the latter part of the last century. The place may be said to have had two beginnings, the first of which resulted in the establishment of a small country village, while the second and more successful was the means of bringing into existence the pleasant and enterprising town on the east bank of the West Branch and in the extreme northern part of Northumberland county. By the census of 1890 the population was twenty-one hundred fifty-seven. The borough has a creditable system of public schools, five churches, two newspapers, two banks, extensive manufacturing interests, water and electric light companies, a number of stores representing the various lines of business, etc., etc.

PIONEER HISTORY.

The first title to any part of the land upon which the borough is situated was acquired by Lieutenant Daniel Hunsicker by virtue of military services in the French and Indian war. The application was marked No. 1 and dated February 3, 1769. The tract was surveyed in the succeeding May, and was situated between Delaware run on the north and a diagonal boundary on the south which extended from the east end of Pear alley to the opposite terminus of Apple alley. The most remarkable and interesting feature of this application is the fact that it was the first granted under the land office system established by the Proprietary government for the disposition of the purchase of 1768.

To the south of Hunsicker's warrant the land was granted to Lieutenant Nicholas Houssegger, for services rendered in the same war; his tract extended for some distance beyond the southern limits of the town. On the 13th of May, 1792, John Watson, then a resident of Londonderry township, Chester county, Pennsylvania, purchased from John Harris, of Cumberland county, and Blair McClenachan, a merchant of Philadelphia, a tract of six hundred nine acres and allowance, known as "Elmdon," embracing the larger part of the site of Watsontown. The consideration was eleven hundred

678

pounds specie. Harris and McClenachan had secured this land in 1780 by purchase from Jacob Shallus, a merchant of Bristol, Bucks county, Pennsyl- vania, for the sum of seventeen thousand pounds, and Shallus, in partner- ship with Amos Wickersham, acquired the tract in 1779 by purchase from Thomas Willing, to whom it was originally patented, March 23, 1774. Watson was of Irish descent. He resided on the land thus purchased until his death; his remains were interred in the old Warrior Run graveyard, but have been removed to the Watsontown cemetery.

The idea of locating a town near the mouth of Warrior run first occurred to John Watson, who laid it out in 1794, and in honor of whom it received its name, although, by some who regarded his effort to establish a town with disrespect, it was for a long time called Slabtown. The only streets in the original plat were Main and Front; Main was the road leading from Sun- bury to Muncy, and Front street is what is now termed First, still called Front by many. At their intersection ground was reserved for a public square. At the time of Mr. Watson's death the town consisted of some half- dozen houses, situated on Front street between where the railroad now crosses it and the river bank. Its diminutive proportions were due to lack of enterprise on the part of the projector rather than any disadvantge of loca- tion; for, after disposing of some half-dozen lots, although they were sold at several hundred dollars each, he suddenly became alarmed lest the growing village should interfere with his farming operations, and, at a great sacrifice to himself, began to purchase the lots sold, ultimately securing them all.

The first hotel and store were kept by David Watson, and stood on the south side of Front street at the canal. There was another hotel at the time of Mr. Watson's death, which was erected by James Watson (no relative of the former, however), and stood on the north side of Front street directly opposite the residence of A. J. Guffy. Upon the death of David Watson his house was closed, but the one built by James Watson was continued for some years under the successive proprietorships of Robert Brown, James Brown, George Fox, and others.
