Blanchard. There are now eighty members in this church. In the Sunday-school there are 100 teachers and pupils. The superintendent is S. J. Kirkendall. Walter Messing is president of the Epworth League. The church at Jackson Center and the class at Kelley Hill are in this charge. The members of a Methodist Episcopal church which formerly existed at Mitchell's Mills joined with this church a few years ago, the society at Mitchell's Mills going out of existence.

The Methodist Episcopal Church of Daggett's Mills was organized nearly fifty years ago, and a house of worship, costing $1,500, built in 1854. It has belonged to the Genesee and Troy conferences at different times, and is at present in the latter conference. It has, during recent years, been served by pastors assigned to neighbor- ing churches in Bradford county. The present pastor is Rev. S. W. Eaton.

The Methodist Church of Jackson Center is the outgrowth of a class organized there over thirty years ago. A house of worship was erected in 1871. This church now numbers 110 members and maintains a good Sunday-school. It is in the Mil- lerton charge and has been served by the pastors of the Millerton church.

Cemeteries, in which repose the remains of the pioneer settlers of Jackson, are to be found at Millerton, Daggetts, Job's Corners, Mitchell's Mills, Jackson Center and other places in the township. Those at Millerton, Daggetts, Job's Corners and Mitchell's Mills are large, well laid out and well cared for. In the cemetery at Millerton lie the remains of Garret Miller and his wife, his son, Capt. Samuel Miller, and other members of this pioneer family. The Curren cemetery, in the northern part of the township, is also another old burying ground.

SOCIETIES.

The secret societies of Jackson represent nearly all the leading orders. Seely Creek Lodge, No. 641, I. O. O. F., was organized July 24, 1868, with twenty-two members. It meets at Daggetts, where it owns a commodious and well-furnished hall building, erected in 1876-77, at a cost of $2,000. This lodge now numbers fifty- six members. Jackson Encampment, No. 31, I. O. O. F., which meets in this hall, was organized December 11, 1895, with forty members. Mechanics' Union, No. 254, E. A. U., which also meets in the same hall, was organized March 2, 1881, with twenty members. Millerton Lodge, No. 935, I. O. O. F., was organized March 18, 1876. It now numbers forty-two members and meets in Union Hall, Millerton. This hall was erected in 1895 by a stock company. Jackson Summit Lodge has recently been merged with this lodge, thus giving it increase of membership and of strength. Corp. Charles W. Deming Post, No. 476, G. A. R., and Corp. Charles W. Deming Corps, No. 102, W. R. C., also meet in Union Hall. The former was organized March 25, 1885, and has now fifty members. The latter was organized March 21, 1896, with sixteen members. Mitchell's Mills Grange, No. 912, P. of H., was organized January 31, 1890. It meets at Mitchell's Mills. The hall owned by this society was originally the Alder Run Methodist Episcopal church building. After being purchased by the grange it was repaired and furnished, and is now one of the best grange halls in the county. The society numbers 224 members in good standing, and is prosperous. Job's Corners Grange, No. 1110, P. of H., was organized May 29, 1894, in the fall of which year it erected a hall building at Job's

Corners costing $1,200. It is a strong and prosperous society, having now about 100 members, embracing the representative farmers of that section of the county.

VILLAGES AND POSTOFFICES.

Daggetts, originally known as Daggett's Mills, and later as Spencerville, Dallas- ville, then again as Daggett's Mills, and lastly as Daggetts, is the oldest village in the township. It grew around the saw-mills established on Seely creek near the village site. At one time it was a place of considerable importance and the largest village in the township. With the cessation of lumbering, due to the giving out of the tim- ber supply, it lost much of its business prestige. The first postoffice in the town- ship was established here nearly seventy years ago. Seth Daggett, the first post- master, was succeeded in 1837 by Joshua G. Spencer. In 1841 Lewis Daggett was appointed. He held until 1843, when he removed to Tioga. His successors have been Richmond Jones, Orrin B. Wells, John Joslyn, W. H. Ferguson, D. B. Lain, W. E. Compton and D. H. Scott, who was appointed July 1, 1894.

A tavern was opened here about 1834 by Joshua G. Spencer. Among his successors as landlords of this hostelry were Andrew Murdough, Albert Jones, S. S. Roberts, James Clinton, Jacob Corzett, A. Minear, Gates Bird and others. The last landlord in the village, Samuel Reynolds, occupies the building erected as a hotel about thirty years ago. He is also the oldest inhabitant, being a son of Samuel S. Reynolds, a blacksmith, who settled there in 1823.

The first store was opened at Daggett's Mills in 1834 by Richmond Jones. Among other early merchants were Hiram B. Roberts, who began business in 1836; Wells & Pierce, who opened a store about 1838; Daggett, Jones & Keyes, Jones & Keyes, and Seth S. Roberts. The present merchants are D. H. Scott, who is also postmaster, and H. F. Sweazey.

Millerton, first known as Hammond Crcek, then as Millertown, and since 1878 as Millerton, is situated on Hammond creek, near the Bradford county line, and is the largest village in the township. The first settler here was Garret Miller, who came into the township in 1793. The village growth began about 1840, with the establishment of the first store by James Miller. In 1844 Hector L. Miller and Jesse C. Kinner were the merchants here. In 1857 Mathew K. Retan embarked in business, continuing until about 1867. The present merchants are Miller & Miller and Jesse B. Miller. A hotel was opened about 1848 by James Miller, who kept it until 1867. The present hotel building was erected in 1876 by Oliver Ham- ilton. W. W. Quackenbush, who has had a number of successors, was the first landlord.

The Millerton Advocate was established April 26, 1877, by A. C. Lumbard & Son. In October of the same year it was purchased by Harry T. Graves, who has since successfully conducted it. The Advocate is devoted to local matters, and receives a large advertising patronage from Elmira, New York.

A postoffice, called Hammond Creek, was established here in 1857. M. K. Retan, the first postmaster, held the office until 1867, when J. H. Miller, the present incumbent, was appointed. The name of the office was first changed to Millertown, and in 1878 to Millerton. The village is a station on the Tioga branch of the

HISTORY OF TIOGA COUNTY.

"Erie," contains a church, a public school building, a public hall, two general stores, a drug store, a printing office, etc., and is the principal business point in the town- ship.

Job's Corners, situated on Seely creek, near the southeast corner of the town- ship, was named for James Job, who settled there about 1832. James K. Burgess, the first merchant, opened a store there in 1853. N. W. Garrison was also an early merchant. The present merchant is G. A. Cornwell. Besides the store, the village contains a church, grange hall, blacksmith shop, ctc. A postoffice was established here in July, 1887. John E. Westbrook, the first postmaster, held the office until February 4, 1890, when he was succeeded by G. A. Cornwell, the present incumbent.

Mitchell's Mills is the name of a small settlement on Alder brook, which has grown up around the old Mitchell saw-mill, beside which it contains a church, a grange hall and a blacksmith shop.

Maple Ridge was the name of a postoffice, established about 1857, in the west- ern part of the township. Isaac Spencer was the postmaster here for a number of years. The office was discontinued after the building of the Tioga branch of the "Erie" through the township in 1876.

Jackson Center is situated south of the center of the township. It contains a church building and a store. C. H. Johnson, the merchant, is also the postmaster. The postoffice, which is named Pipe Line, was established in 1894. The mail is conveyed overland from Trowbridge.

Trowbridge, near the center of the township, is the name of a railroad station and postoffice on the Tioga branch of the "Erie." It was established shortly after the building of the railroad, and was named in honor of the late Henry Trowbridge, the first settler there, who gave the railroad company a site for a station and a right of way through his land. It is said to enjoy the distinction of being the only post- · office of the name in the United States. Mr. Trowbridge's son, Henry O. Trow- bridge, the first postmaster, held the office until August 22, 1895, when his brother, Lemuel A. Trowbridge, was appointed.

Jackson Summit, in the western part of the township, is the name of a station and postoffice on the Tioga branch of the "Erie." A postoffice was established here in 1877. The postmasters have been H. J. Tobey, E. C. Pedrick and Mrs. A. Heer- mans, who was appointed in July, 1889. This place contains a church, school house, blacksmith shop and two stores, the latter kept by D. B. Lain and Mrs. A. Heermans.

R UTLAND township was organized in February, 1828, and was taken from the townships of Sullivan and Jackson. It is bounded on the north by Jackson township, on the east by Bradford county, on the south by Sullivan and Richmond townships and on the west by Richmond and Tioga townships. The surface of the township is somewhat rougher than that of Sullivan, and there is a much larger amount of uncleared and untilled land, covered, as a rule, with hard wood timber, the pine and hemlock, except on a few isolated tracts, having disappeared years ago. Mill creek, the principal stream, rises in the edge of Bradford county and pursues a westerly course, a little south of the center of the township. The drainage from the north and from the south is toward this stream. Its principal branches on the north are North creek, Bailey creek and Hibbard run. On the south the principal branch is Elk run and its tributaries. The township, as a whole, may be classed as one of the upland townships of the county, the hill summits rising to 1,800 feet above tidewater, the mean level being about 1,500 feet. Iron ore of a fair quality is found in various parts of the township, that on the land of J. M. Hall, near Rose- ville, being the largest and best. During the time the furnace at Mansfield was in operation, quantities of this ore were hauled overland to it. For several years past Mr. Hall has utilized the ore in the manufacture of mineral paint, for sale and shipment. During the earlier years of the township's history lumbering was the principal industry. Since the clearing away of the pine and hemlock timber, the people have devoted themselves to the cultivation of the soil, and are fast making the township one of the leading farming townships of the county. The township has grown healthfully since its organization. In 1840 it contained 692 inhabitants; in 1870, 1,157; in 1880, including Roseville borough, 1,249, and in 1890, 1,071.

EARLY SETTLERS.

One of the very earliest settlers of the township was William Rose, who came from Rutland county, Vermont, in 1806, and settled on the site of Roseville. In 1808 Jesse Smith came from Delaware county, New York, and settled in what is known as "Smith Hollow." In 1812 there were also residing in the township the following named taxables: John Benson, who settled on the Bradford county line; Ebenezer and W. D. Bacon, on the farm afterward owned by George T. Longwell; Richard, Judah and Noah Gifford, near Roseville, on Brier Hill, and Cornelius and Andrew Sharp, just east of Roseville, on what was afterwards known as the John

Hall place. Solomon Goff came in 1815 and settled north of Roseville.

The first assessment after the organization of the township was taken in 1829. It showed the following taxables: Stewart Austin, who lived near the Van Ness school house; John Argetsinger, one mile southeast of Roseville; Isaac Benson, at the mouth of Painter run; Ephraim Bryant, Bethuel Bentley, on Mill creek, below Roseville; Halsey Burton, at Burton's Corners, southeast of Roseville; Jacob Benson, on Pumpkin Hill; Caleb and Silas Burrell, west of Roseville; Sylvester Benson, in the Oldroyd neighborhood; Johnson Brewer, three miles northeast of Roseville; Peter Backer, at Roseville; W. D. Bacon, in the southern part of the township; Sylvanus Benson, on Mill creek, above Roseville; William M. and Jabez Coxey, near Roseville; David and Asa Crippen, two miles south of Roseville, on Brier Hill; Sydney, Cornelius, Samuel and Joseph Clark, at Burton's Corners; Harris Corey, two miles east of Roseville; John Crippen, south of Roseville; James Dann and James Dann, Jr., on Brier Hill; John B. Dann, near Roseville; Nathan Gifford, on Brier Hill; Nathan Goodwin, on Mill creek, four miles below Roseville, at "Patchogue;" Gardner Gould, on Pumpkin Hill; Justus Garretson, in the north- eastern part of the township; Hosea, William W. and John R. Howland, southeast of Roseville; Baldwin Hazwell, on Mill creek, below Roseville; David Huntley, in the eastern part of the township; Calvin W. Handmer, on the John Hall farm; Benjamin Lawrence, at Lawrence's Corners; Nathan and Sylvester Newberry, on Pumpkin Hill; Lucinda Newberry, on the Hugh Argetsinger farm; Elisha Nash, in the southern part of the township; Levi Osgood, in the northeastern part of the township; Richard Pemberton, a mile below Roseville; David Prutsman, in the northeastern part of the township; Erastus and Levi Rose, in Roseville; Virgil Rose, at Burton's Corners; Samuel, D. B. and John Reynolds, in the southern part of the township; Isaac and I. S. Smith, in Smith Hollow; Jefferson Sherman, near Rose- ville; Robert Searles, on Pumpkin Hill; John Snyder, on the Patrick Longwell place, above Roseville; Silas Smith, near Smith's Hollow; John, Tunis and Albert Slingerland, near the center of the township; Ira and Daniel Walters, William, John, Henry and Abram Updyke and Jonathan and Solomon Wood, on Pumpkin Hill, and James Rosell, near Job's Corners.

Of the foregoing, a few remained in the township but a short time. Some moved into Sullivan, Ward and other townships, while others became pioneers in the new states farther west. The majority, however, cleared the lands settled upon, and spent the remainder of their lives in the township. In many instances the original homesteads are occupied by their descendants.

MILLS AND OTHER ENTERPRISES.

In 1822 or 1823 William Rose erected a distillery at Roseville, which he operated eight or ten years. In 1825 Sylvanus Benson, Hosea Howland and Barrett Clark, each had one-third interest in a saw-mill on Mill creek, in the eastern part of the township. About 1836 Sylvester Bailey erected a saw-mill on Elk run, near the Sullivan township line. This he operated until his death about 1852. In this, as in other townships, mills were rapidly established after 1835, and changes of ownership were frequent. Sites for mills were selected on Mill creek, both above and below Roseville, and also on Elk run in the western part of the township. The

later mills were usually operated by steam. For the past ten or fifteen years portable steam-mills have for the most part replaced the stationary mills. The timber sup- ply, while not abundant, is yet sufficient to permit the cutting of a few million feet each year. Among the more prominent of the early mill owners and lumbermen were Bethuel Bentley, Frederick Cruttenden, Josephus Clark, William Killgore, Ebenezer Dunning, Charles Clayton, Josiah Brown, E. W., W. and Royal Rose, Timothy and Nelson Brace, Alfred McClure, Peter Sechrist, Daggett & Sixbee, Isaac L. Wells, Rodney R. Niles and others. Among the mill owners of more recent years were A. M. Moorehouse, Frank G. Hall, Edgar M. Brace and Burton Schrader. A grist-mill was erected in the early thirties on Mill creek, a short distance above Roseville. It was operated for a few years by Rufus Daggett and Lyman Gibson; then by Lyman, Allen and William Gibson; from 1838 to 1840 by Allen Gibson; in 1841-42 by Samuel C. Gibson; then for two years by Charles I. & E. Brown. Then followed a number of changes of ownership until 1868, when the property passed into the hands of O. C. & B. Schrader. In 1871 O. C. Schrader became owner. In 1873 Burton Schrader acquired the property, adding a saw- mill in 1880. In 1894 the property passed into the possession of Ross & Williams, of Mansfield, and is now owned by Charles S. Ross of that place. In 1863 Myron Mills erected a tannery in Roseville, which he operated for several years, when the enterprise was discontinued. A mill for the purpose of converting iron ore into mineral paint has been operated for several years past by J. M. Hall, just east of Roseville borough. Mr. Hall has a large deposit of iron ore on his place.

SCHOOLS.

The first school was established in the township before 1830, on Mill creek. Like all early schools, it was a log building and was supported by subscription. Early schools were also established at Roseville and in the Bentley neighborhood. After the adoption of the public school system, the township was divided into districts. At the present time there are twelve schools in the township and one in Roseville borough. The average number of months taught, is six in the township and seven in the borough.

PHYSICIANS AND JUSTICES.

Dr. Ezra Wood began practice in the township as early as 1822 and continued until his death in 1829. Francis H. White began practice in 1832. About 1837 he removed from the township, returning, however, and resuming his practice in 1850. He continued in the active duties of his profession to within a few years of his death. He died in 1885, having attained the remarkable age of 106 years. Sanford Roblyer, Dr. Harrison, Abel Humphrey and Ralph Shepherd practiced in the township from 1838 to 1840; David S. Roblyer, from 1841 to 1843; Orson Gregory, 1843 and 1844, and D. N. Hunt, 1844 to 1846. Joel Rose began practice in 1846 and continued for over twenty years. Dr. John M. Barden, a son of Dr. William M. Barden, the pioneer homeopathic physician of the county, was ad- mitted to practice in 1862, and located in Roseville. Here he continued to prac- tice until 1881, when he removed to Mansfield, returning to Roseville in 1895. In 1875 Dr. Benjamin Moody located in Roseville, and practiced there until 1877,
