CHURCHES AND CEMETERIES.

The First Presbyterian Church of Richmond was organized July 5, 1832, at the house of Rev. Asa Donaldson, by the Rev. David Higgins and the Rev. Elisha D. Wells, a committee appointed by the Presbytery of Bath. The names of the original members are as follows: Amariah Robbins, Joel Harkness, Joseph Thompson, John Backer, John W. Donaldson, Timothy Orvis, John Kelley, Mary Cooley, Hannah Kelley, Thanks Webster, Delia Donaldson, Emily Sexton, Anna Finks, Roxalana Brown and Rachel Orvis. The minutes of the meeting are signed by Rev. Asa Donaldson, who had previously conducted meetings in the old school house on Wellsboro street, and was instrumental in bringing about the organization of the church, the early membership of which included all the persons of the Presbyterian faith in Richmond, Tioga and Sullivan townships. The election of ruling elders was deferred until April 9, 1834, when Amariah Robbins and Holly Seely were chosen. The first session met at Tioga May 17, 1834, when Mrs. Catherine M. Wick- ham, Miss Betsey Mather, Miss Abigail Preston, Jonas B. Shurtliff and wife and Mrs. Martha Graves were admitted to membership and constituted a branch of the church in Richmond. Mr. Donaldson, the pastor, severed his connection with the church in 1837, and moved to Illinois. On August 3, 1839, John Kelley and Joseph Robbins were chosen ruling elders. The meeting of the session on February 10, 1841, was presided over by Rev. P. H. Fowler. The last entry in the minute book was made June 27, 1857, and notes the election of Lorin Butts as ruling elder, to fill a vacancy caused by the death of Amariah Robbins. This church purchased and worshiped in a building-erected for a wagon shop by a man named Hilton, on the southeast corner of Main and Sherwood streets-and about three acres of land. The present Baptist church stands on part of this land. The church, as an active body, passed out of existence in the early fifties.

The First Baptist Church of Mansfield was first organized as a branch of the Sullivan Baptist church April 10, 1840, by members of the Baptist faith residing in Mansfield and vicinity. The members of this branch were Deacon Daniel Sher- wood and Anna, his wife; Hon. D. L. Sherwood and Maria, his wife; E. P. Clark and Fanny, his wife; Oliver Elliott, Thomas Jerald, Martha Utter and Lorena Ripley, together with Rev. Abijah Sherwood and Maria, his wife. On April 1, 1843, the above named members organized an independent Baptist church to be known as the Baptist church of Mansfield. Rev. Abijah Sherwood served as pastor until 1860, with the exception of the years 1852 and 1853, when Rev. G. W. Stone filled the pulpit, and 1853 and 1854, when it was filled by Rev. W. P. Maryatt. The succeed- ing pastors have been as follows: Revs. N. L. Reynolds, 1860-66; G. P. Watrous, 1866-67 and 1869-73; J. W. Henry, 1867-68; J. E. Bell, 1874-75; H. Bray, 1875- 78; J. M.

the present pastor, who took charge in April, 1893. The church was incorporated March 28, 1873. The church building, erected in 1848-49, on the northeast corner of Main and Sherwood streets, was replaced in 1888 by the present handsome brick edifice, at a cost of $7,000.

The First Methodist Episcopal Church of Mansfield was formally organized February 20, 1845. At an early day itinerant preachers of this denomination visited the settlers in the Tioga valley, and held meetings in dwellings, barns and the open air. They were ardent, earnest and oftentimes eloquent evangelists, and upon the occasion of their visits the people came many miles to hear them. These occasional services were held in Mansfield until 1841, after which services were held at stated times. February 10, 1845, a petition was presented to the conference, signed by S. F. Utter, H. G. Martin, P. Doud, Elijah Clark, Russell Davis, Alvin Gaylord, R. C. Shaw, Isaiah Seelye and P. M. Clark, asking to be incorporated as the First Methodist Episcopal church of Mansfield. This petition was granted on the 20th of the same month. The first trustees of the church were Elijah Clark, Simeon F. Utter, Phineas M. Clark, Rodney C. Shaw, Alvin Gaylord, John Cochran and Marvin Perry. The names of the pastors who have served this church are as fol- lows: Revs. I. Smith, 1841; E. H. Cranmer, 1841-42; R. M. Reach and M. Scott, 1843; J. Ashworth and S. Nichols, 1844; E. Pinder, 1845; R. L. Stillwell, 1846-47; 0. Trowbridge, 1848-49; W. C. Mattison, 1850; A. H. Shurtliff, 1851; W. Man- ning, 1852-53; L. L.

The first services were held in a building erected for a wagon shop, at the corner of Main and Sherwood streets, opposite the Baptist church, and afterwards in the old school building at the corner of Wellsboro and Academy streets. In 1849 the building on the corner of Main and Elmira streets, now used by the Universalist congregation, was erected at a cost of $1,600. April 17, 1872, the present build- ing, on the northwest corner of Wellsboro and Academy streets, was dedicated. It is of brick, has a seating capacity of six hundred, cost $16,000, and is one of the finest church edifices in the county. In May, 1895, the E. P. Clark homestead, adjoining the church on the north, was purchased and remodeled for a parsonage, at a cost of $2,500. The church now numbers 538 members. There are 200 pupils and teachers in the Sunday-school, of which F. M. Allen is the superintendent. The young people of this church are members of Epworth League, Chapter No. 1083, of which George L. Strait is president.

St. James' Protestant Episcopal Church originated in a Sunday-school started by William Hollands in March, 1865, of which Mrs. James R. Wilson, Mrs. Joseph P. Morris and others were active members. Mr. Hollands acted as lay reader until April, 1866, when Rev. N. Barrows became rector, after which services were held regularly in the Baptist church, which had been rented for that purpose.

C OVINGTON township was organized in February, 1815, and was taken from Tioga township. Its original boundaries included the township of Richmond, the southern portion of Rutland, all of Sullivan, Ward, Union, Hamilton and Bloss, the greater part of Liberty and the borough of Blossburg. As at present constituted it is about eight and a quarter miles from east to west, by four and a half from north to south, and contains about thirty-seven square miles. The Tioga river crosses its southern boundary line, about a mile and a quarter east of the center, and pur- sues a slightly winding course almost due north through the township. About one-third of the area of the township lies to the east and two-thirds to the west of the river. The tributaries of the river within the township are Barber run, which flows from the east and unites with it within the Covington borough limits; Marvin, or Copp Hollow run, as it is also called, which flows from the west, and unites with it above the borough; Howland run and Elk run, both of which flow from the west, the confluence of the former being within the borough limits and of the latter near the northern boundary line of the township. Canoe Camp creek pursues a north- west course through the northeastern part of the township, and East creek a south- western course through the southeastern part of the township. The entire township is hilly, the southern portion especially being rugged and rocky. North, however, of the mouth of Marvin run, the hills assume a gentler slope, and are, as a rule, under cultivation. Here and there a place too steep for ploughing is found, and is used as a sheep range. Richly fertile and well-cultivated farms are to be found along the river and in the valleys of the creeks. The forests of pine and hemlock which taxed the energies of the early pioneers have disappeared, except in isolated areas of a few acres. So long as they lasted they furnished employment for lumbermen and for saw-mills, the last of which disappeared from the township years ago.

Covington is now one of the best agricultural townships in the county. Its growth has been constant, and its material prosperity has kept pace with its increase in population. In 1870 it had 811 inhabitants; in 1880, 1,134, and in 1890, 1,123.

EARLY SETTLERS.

To Aaron Bloss belongs the honor of being the pioneer settler of Covington township. He came from Chenango county, New York, in July, 1801, and located about two miles below what is now Covington borough. After remaining a year he removed to Peter's Camp, on the site of Blossburg, where he kept hotel until 1835, in which year he returned to Covington. Here he kept hotel in a building
