CEMETERIES.
The old landmarks which most especially appeal to our veneration and respect, and are most closely allied to the early settlers and their descendants, are the grave- yards where so many of the fathers and mothers and their children have been buried-in all, nine of them, in- cluding the aboriginal burying place on the north bank of Crooked Creek, which in the construction of the first bent and string bridge over the creek near its mouth was broken into and disturbed, the workmen finding, accord- ing to a statement given the writer by Jacob Kiphart, some ten or twelve skeletons, of large size, indicating men of tall stature and large frame. In grading the rail- road in 1838, around the point of the Daily Hill, the skull of an Indian was found and it was for some time at the house of James Goodrich.
The Berry Graveyard .- The earliest tombstone record we have of the death of any person is that of the child of Thomas Berry sen., who died January 17th 1803. Three others of this family died in the spring of 1807, in- cluding the father. These persons were probably all buried in the Berry burying ground, which lies on the hillside, southeast from the east end of the lower river bridge, some twenty rods or so from it. It has no fence, and shrubs and trees are growing over it. Ten graves are readily distinguishable, but only one has a sculptured tombstone, which is of slate, three feet high, and of that style of which there are several in the old village cem- etery, put up at about the same time by a tombstone manufacturer then resident at Tioga. Its inscription is " Vrooman A. Brandt, died Oct. 7 1832, aged 32 yrs., 1 mo., 26 days." The Berry family, though the persons above mentioned still lie in this ground, have a fine mon- ument of Quincy granite in Evergreen cemetery, on which are recorded all the family names of the elder Thomas Berry.
The Van Camp Ground .- Below the Berry graveyard, on David L. Aiken's land, on the west side of the road, close to his south line, was where the Van Camp burying ground was until some half dozen years past. The Allen
family were here buried, as well as that of the Van Camp and Kiphart families. The remains of all that could be found were taken up and transferred to the Evergreen cemetery, the Allen family only having a tombstone record.
The Mitchell Graveyard lies on the knoll east of the William Mitchell farm house, and has nine tombstones, mostly of marble, including those of Robert Mitchell and his wife Abigail Ives (sister of Benajah, Timothy, Titus and John) and John Inscho and wife. No other graves are distinguishable, but several disinterments have been made here.
The Timothy Ives Graveyard lies adjacent to the res- idence of Mrs. Dean Dutton and her son-in-law, Jacob Westbrook; and, though it is said by Mrs. Dutton that there are at least one hundred graves in this yard, but forty-two of them, with rough, rude stones at head and foot, and no sculptured name or device of any kind to be found, were here counted by the writer in March last. It has been so much overrun by animals, close as it is to two farm houses, that it is a mystery that any stone to-day could be found indicating a grave. Here Uncle John Ives was buried, and probably many others of the Ives family, and also James Dickinson, and some of his children.
The Mill Creek or Guernsey Cemetery, as it is indiscrim- inately called, is on the point of hill above John Daily's, and overlooks the mouth of Mill Creek, and the Tioga River south toward the Gap. Forty tombstones with their inscriptions were here noted by the writer in Feb- ruary last, and seventeen graves without monuments, were plainly distinguished. Here the Guernsey, Niles, Adams, Daily, Keeney and many other families are buried. Here grandfather and grandmother Niles lie in unmarked graves; and, standing there that bright, sunny, cheerful day-snowless, though a winter's month it was -the writer could not but feel that kind Nature looked lovingly down on the sod where these two venerable early settlers lay in peace, and hallowed it with more than usual grace and sacredness.
The Old Tioga Village Cemetery, half a mile west of the village, on the Wellsboro road, first opened to the public in the fall of 1829, contains seventy-six tomb- stones with records of the deceased, and thirty-five graves that are distinguishable, though without monuments. Here the Wickhams, Prutsmans, grandfather Aiken and mother, Abigail Preston, Barney Roberts, the widow Daniels and her sons, Daniel S. Craig, and many others

are buried. Large trees have grown up in this ground, and it is assuming the appearance of a grove of large proportions. Many graves have been opened and the remains transferred to the Evergreen cemetery.
Evergreen Cemetery was incorporated December 9th 1863, by twenty corporators, citizens chiefly of the bor- ough. It lies a little over half a mile west from the vil- lage, on two of a series of alluvial knolls, and contains about twenty acres of ground very nicely and judiciously laid out. In September and October 1881 the ground and roadways were much improved and fences and gate- ways rebuilt. It contains at present time: 36 fine obelisks; lots sold and occupied, 169; tombstone records, 209, and graves unmarked, 163. It is in full view from the village.
THE TIOGA CHURCHES.
Baptist Church .- (Furnished by Rev. S. D. Merrick.) On the 24th of April 1813 a few Christian people assem- bled at the house of Benjamin Bentley in Tioga (at that time almost an unbroken wilderness) for the purpose of organizing a religious conference, with a view of ulti- mately becoming a regular Baptist church. The names of those constituting the conference were David Short, Richard Mitchell, Nathaniel Seeley, Titus Ives, Charles Blanchard, Benjamin Bentley, Simeon Power, Timothy Ives, Mary Bentley, Ruth Ingersoll, Abigail Mitchell, Sally Short and Ruby Mitchell. Charles Blanchard was chosen moderator and Timothy Ives clerk.
On the 26th day of February 1814 the conference adopted a covenant and articles of faith and practice. On the 18th day of June 1814 the place of meeting was changed from the house of Benjamin Bentley to the house of Richard Mitchell, and continued there until December 1816. From that time until 1844 the church center was at Mitchell's Creek, two and a half miles north of Tioga village, the meetings being held at the school- house in that place.
In 1844 the present house of worship was built, and it was dedicated in December of that year. It cost about $2,000, and is supposed to be the first Baptist church edifice erected in Tioga county.
In November 1815 the conference took into consider- ation the propriety of being recognized as a regular Bap- tist church, and on the 20th of June 1816 a council was convened for that purpose, composed of the following named persons: Elder Roswell Goff and Charles Wolcott of Elmira, N. Y .; Elder Samuel Bigelow of Middlesex, N. Y .; Elders Amos Chase and John Goff of Benton, N. Y. The conference appointed as their representative Daniel Bacon. Elder S. Bigelow was chosen moderator and A. Chase clerk.
The following named persons were the constituent members of the church: David Short, James Mitchell, F. Keeney, Richard Mitchell, Elisha Tucker, John Maine, Samuel Warrener, Charles Blanchard, Ruby Mitchell, Anna Keeney, Hannah Welch, Nancy Maine, Catherine Mattison, Sally Short, Abigail Mitchell.
On the 7th of September 1816 the church observed
for the first time the ordinance of the Lord's Supper, Elder Samuel Bigelow administrator.
In 1817 the church united with the Ontario Baptist Association. In 1818 it joined the Steuben Associ- tion, in 1822 the Chemung, in 1842 the Tioga Associ- ation.
The following named persons have served the church as pastors: David Short, Elisha Tucker, Samuel Bige- low, Elisha Booth, Daniel Platt, T. S. Sheardown, - Smith, James R. Burdick, Jeremiah Weatherby, Tobias Pinkham, G. L. Stevens, B. R. Swick, Jacob Kennedy, A. M. Brown, Levi Stone, J. L. Smith, G. P. Watrous, D. R. McDermond, A. B. Chase, H. F. Hill, Ross Mat- thews and S. D. Merrick, the present pastor. Of the above named, Daniel Platt, Jacob Kennedy and D. R. McDer- mond were ordained by this church. The following persons were licensed to preach by this church: David Short, Elisha Tucker, Samuel Grinnell, S. M. Broak- man and Francis Purvis. Samuel Grinnell and N. L. Reynolds were also ordained by this church.
The following named persons have served the church as deacons: Charles Blanchard, Thomas Keeney, Asaph Ellis, Isaac Adams, John Drew, A. C. Keeney, A. S. Keeney and E. T. Bentley.
Since the organization of this church there have been added by baptism, by letter and experience over 500 per- sons. The most important revivals were under the pas- torates of Elisha Tucker, in 1820 and 1821; T. S. Shear- down, in 1836; G. L. Stevens, in 1845; William Spencer (evangelist), in 1852; Levi Stone, in 1853; G. P. Wat- rous, in 1862 and 1863; D. R. McDermond, 1866, and A. B. Chase, in 1870.
The first Sunday-school was organized in 1830, Deacon Isaac Adams superintendent; and from that time to the present the school has been an important auxiliary to the church.
The church numbers at present 96 members. It is sixty-five years old, has had twenty pastors and baptized over 250 converts. The present pastorate has continued eight years, while the term of settlement has been only 314 years on the average.
The church edifice was erected by S. M. Broakman, builder, on a lot contributed by Elijah De Pui, who also contributed some $250; other members of the church at the then low cost of valuable pine material and labor, contributed about $3,000.
St. Andrew's Episcopal Church .- (By Mrs. John W. Guernsey.) The history of the Episcopal church in Tioga dates back to the year 1840. At that time the Rev. Charles Breck, rector of St. Paul's church, Wells- boro, held occasional services. Under his direction a parish was organized and a charter applied for, but for some reason the charter was not acted on, and the parish failed of representation in the diocesan convention.
A Sunday-school under the auspices of the Episcopal church was started in June 1857, in the office of John W. Guernsey.
In 1860 the Rev. Thomas H. Cullen (deacon) was sent by the Rt. Rev. Alonzo Potter, bishop of the diocese of
281
CHURCHES OF TIOGA BOROUGH.
Pennsylvania, and took charge of the services, preaching his first sermon Sunday evening September 23d 1860. The parish was organized and admitted into union with the convention of the diocese in May 1861, under the name of St. Andrews. John W. Guernsey, J. S. Bush, P. S. Tuttle, S. M. Geer, F. E. Smith, T. L. Baldwin, H. H. Borden and O. B. Lowell were the charter mem- bers of the vestry.
The first church building was a wooden structure, and was opened for service on St. Andrew's day Novem- ber 30th) 1869. On the night of February 9th 1871 the church and the rectory adjoining were destroyed by fire.
In 1872 the Rev. Mr. Cullen, who had resigned the parish in 1863, was recalled. During his ministry and largely through his efforts the present handsome stone church was erected, and it was opened for service on Ascension day (May 14th) 1874.
The church is gothic and consists of a tower ten feet square, nave 25 by 60 feet, chancel 16 by 18 feet, organ chamber 9 by 11 feet, and vestry 8 by 12 feet. It cost about $12,000. It is built of stone from the Elkhorn quarry, with trimmings of light colored freestone from the Corning quarries, cut and dressed, which form the arches of the doors and windows, buttresses, caps, corbels, &c. The windows are of richly stained glass, and four of them are memorial-the two in front in mem- ory of Mr. and Mrs. Bigelow; one on the south side, of Mrs. James Goodrich, and one on the north, of S. M. W. The rear or chancel triple window is the gift of Anna Bush and Anna Baldwin; the stone font, of Mrs. Edwin A. Meade, of New York, and Mrs. S. S. Cald- well, of Omaha, Nebraska; and the chancel rail of Mrs. Cullen.
There have been several short rectorships. The last incumbent was the Rev. John London, who resigned in November 1881. The parish is now vacant.
The Presbyterian Church .- (Furnished by Rev. William Baldwin, pastor). At a meeting of the presbytery held at Beecher's Island, September ist 1851, Rev. Messrs. " Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be signed by the chairman and secretary, and published. "BENJAMIN BENTLEY, Chairman. " WILLIAM WILLARD JR., Secretary." J. S. Mccullough, J. F. Calkins and J. B. Allen were ap- pointed a committee to organize a church at Tioga vil- lage, to be called the Presbyterian Church in Tioga. At a meeting of the committee, held at Lawrenceville, Jan- Again, we find the following notice: " The subscribers to the Willardsburg meeting-house are requested to fur- uary 17th 1852, it was resolved "That it is expedient to organize the church. Also resolved that the church be nish without delay the amount of their subscriptions, as organized on Wednesday, January 25th 1852, and in case no other of the committee be present Rev. Mr. McCul- lough be authorized to act in behalf of the committee." January 25th 1852, Messrs. Mills and Calkins not being present, Rev. Mr. Mccullough proceeded to organize the church, with nine members. No officers were elected at this meeting.
Mr. Mccullough preached to the church from 1851 to 1868; Rev. D. Otis Fletcher from 1868 to 1871; Rev. S. that condition until finally, by the exertions of Messrs. R. H. Shumway one year from May ist 1871; and Rev. William Baldwin has supplied the church from May Ist charter for The First Methodist Episcopal Church of 1872 to the present.
[Mr. Mccullough was a graduate of Dickinson College,
Carlisle, Pa., and was regarded as a fine theological scholar, and a very sincere and devoted man in his pro- fession. He removed from the pastorship of the Law- renceville church to Tioga in 1842, and contributed much of his own means, in conjunction with B. C. Wickham, Joseph and David L. Aiken, J. B. Steele, Mr. Slocum and others, for the construction of the present Presbyter- ian church, on Broad street, which was built in 1851. He died December 10th 1867, aged 58 years, and the members of this church erected a fine slate-stone monu- ment to his memory over his remains in Evergreen cem- etery.
Rev. William Baldwin, now preaching here, is a native of Connecticut, but removed with his father to Port De- posit when but two years of age; graduated at Yale Col- lege, and subsequently followed the mercantile business as did his father, adopting finally the profession of the ministry. Aside from his knowledge of the Bible and general theology, Mr. Baldwin's forte is physical science, and he delights to illustrate his pulpit discourses with frequent references to the wonders of nature. He has much mechanical skill, and is the inventor of some very ingenious " unpickable " locks, for the manufacture of which a factory was established at Tioga in the winter and spring of 1875 .-- H. H. G.]
The Methodist Church, the second denomination in the order of its organization in Tioga, had its inception, so far as the present site and church building are concerned, in the following notice published in the columns of the Tioga Pioncer:
"WILLARDSBURG, June 24th 1826 .- The subscribers to the Willardsburg Meeting House this day met at James Goodrich's, agreeably to public notice, and after organ- izing unanimously
" Resolved, That we proceed to elect three suitable per- sons as trustees to superintend the said building, and all things connected therewith. Whereupon William Wil- lard jr., Elisha Booth and Jacob Prutsman were elected trustees for the purposes aforesaid.
the building is commenced and rapidly progressing .- William Willard jr., Jacob Prutsman. Elisha Booth, trus- tees. Willardsburg, October 16th 1826." By notice published March 27th 1827 a letting of the contract for the whole or part of the carpenter and joiner work for the said meeting-house was to be given to the lowest bidder, at the house of John S. Allen, April 7th 1827. The frame was subsequently put up, and remained in Fish, Cole and Munsell, it was enclosed in 1842, and a Tioga was obtained in 1844. The deed for the ground from William Willard jr. and wife is dated March 11th

1834, and was recorded March 28th 1836. The church formerly stood fronting on Meeting-House alley, but on rebuilding it, after the fire of 1871, at which time it was destroyed, it was placed further east, fronting on Main street, and constructed of brick, with dressed freestone door and window trimmings, at a cost of about $7,000. It was dedicated in 1872, by Bishop Jesse T. Peck.
The parsonage of this church, on Willard street, was purchased in 1878, at a cost of 8850.
The old church contained a bell, which was procured mostly through the efforts of Mrs. William Lowell; and at a later period a town clock, obtained by general sub- scription of the citizens, at a cost of $300, which like most town clocks was out of repair at least half the time. The present church has a bell, as have the Presbyterian and Baptist churches, but none of them seem desirous of a new town clock.
The Tioga M. E. church was united to that of Law- rence in one charge until the close of Rev. G. W. Gib- son's pastorate in 1873. The pastors succeeding Mr. Gibson have been Revs. Harvey Lambkin, appointed in 1873; C. J. Bradbury, 1876; G. W. Howland, 1877; Harvey Lambkin, 1879; J. W. Gamble, the present pastor, in 1881, and reappointed for 1882 and 1883.
Rev. Mr. Gamble was born in Palmyra, Wayne county, N. Y., and in 1878 went as a missionary to India, passing through the Suez Canal, and visiting some of the most important provinces of that country, lying on the Ganges and at the foot of the Himalaya mountains. He return- ed in 1880, and was first assigned to the pastorship of the M. E. church at Tioga. He is still a young man, the youngest of the Tioga pastors, and has that zeal and courage in his profession that actuate him unhesitatingly to attack the ordinary vices of society, and which have gained for him the distinctive name of " Reformer."
The Catholic Church of Tioga was established about the year 1861, by the purchase of the old village school- house, situated on the northwest corner of Centre and Walnut streets, at a cost it is said of about $550. It was dedicated under the pastorship of Rev. Father Gogan, and in 1880 was sold to E. A. Smead, who removed it to the rear of his hardware store; and a fine church was erected at a cost of 82,300, exclusive of the pulpit and seats, which are not yet put in. The church is in charge of Rev. Father J. C. McDermond, who resides at Wells- boro. On Wednesday September 20th 1882 Bishop O'Hara, of Scranton, confirmed 24 converts as members of this church.
FRATERNITIES.
Masonic .- The original masonic lodge of Tioga, it is believed, was called the "Willardsburg Lodge," and its lodge room was in the second story of Dr. Willard's resi- dence, on the present site of P. S. Tuttle's dwelling. The members of it as now known were Dr. William Willard and his sons William and Henry, Colonel Ambrose Mil- lard and Harris Hotchkiss. James Goodrich was a

SCHOOLS OF TIOGA-OFFICERS-BUSINESS CONCERNS.
The Tioga Grange, No. 241, was organized May 6th in 1882 was 508; aggregate quantity of land returned, 1874, at the house of George W. Hazlett, by District Dep- 25,360 acres; assessed valuation of all property, $221,- 151. The population of the township in 1880 was 1,259. uty Evans, of Charleston. There were 22 charter mem- bers enrolled, and the following officers were chosen: The present officers of the township are as follows: Daniel Dewey, master; O. H. Blanchard, overseer; E. F.
Supervisors, C. O. Loveless, Smith Beers. Constable, Bentley, lecturer; R. P. H. McAllister, steward; A. E. John C. Adams. School directors, William Kimball, Niles, assistant steward; J. M.

The society continued in existence only three years, and in that time Daniel Dewey, H. S. Johnston and Elisha F. Bentley were its masters. As this order still exists in other sections of the county and State, and the Tioga Grange may possibly be revived, it is here histori- cally mentioned. It is an educational, social and pro- tective association. A county or Pomona grange, No. 30, was organized at Mansfield June 27th 1877, and Elisha F. Bentley and Henry H. Goodrich were its master and secretary at its last organization. It had 90 enrolled members.
SCHOOLS.
There are eight school districts in the township of Tioga, viz. Mill Creek, Upper Mill Creek, Mitchell's Creek, Hughes, Prutsman, Man Hill, Daggett Hill, and Brooklyn, for which a school tax was collected and ap- propriated for the year ending June 30th 1882 of $1,595, 61, and from State appropriation $274.83; total,'$1,870.44.
The graded school of Tioga borough is usually a six months school, with one principal and two assistants. The house was built the year prior to the incorporation of the borough, at a cost of nearly $2,000, and the town- ship was deprived of it by the separation of jurisdiction. The principals of this school for the past ten years have been H. L. Baldwin, now attorney at law; Elias Horton, and Professor J. C. Doane, now engaged on his second term, and formerly connected with the State normal school at Mansfield.
