Burton G. Morss purchased nine thousand acres of land in Wayne and Pike Counties, of R. H. Powell and John Torrey, in 1849, and began work at the tannery in the fall of that year. January 16, 1850, he formed a co-part- nership with D. F. Morss, C. J. E. Martin and John A. Cook, under the name of Morss, Mar- tin & Co. Martin managed the business, and later D. F. Morss and John A. Cook came to Tannerytown (so-called). The workmen blasted through a ledge of rocks to build a tail- race ; hence it was afterward called "The Ledges " and Ledgedale. In 1858 B. G. Morss bought Martin's interest, and about one year afterward D. F. Morss returned to New York, leaving the management in the hands of John A. Cook, who conducted the business with ability until his death, in 1864, when Leonidas W. Morss assumed charge, and has continued as manager since. In 1865 B. G. Morss bought the interest of D. F. Morss and of the John A. Cook estate, and gave his son, L. W. Morss, a share in the business. The tannery was burned in 1879, rebuilt in 1880, and steam-power in- troduced. It consumes five thousand cords of bark per year, and turns out fifty thousand sides of sole leather. They have seeured ten thousand acres of land sinee the first purchase, and sold to settlers, reserving the bark, until six thousand acres are left. There is a store in connection with the tannery, a grist-mill and houses for their men. There is also a large farm under the management of L. W. Morss. About 1845-50 the emigration from Connecti- cut ceascd, and the building of the tannery brought a large number of thrifty Irish and Germans into the township, who have cleared farms and erected buildings. John A. Cook was an elder in the Salem Presbyterian Church and a leading man in the township.

Captain Darwin Cook and George Cook live in Chicago, Ill. Dr. Curtis, of Hawley, mar- ried Augusta, and Captain Joseph Atkinson married Helen.

James M. Fanning and Ira Kellam have been clerks for many years. John Becker is

outside boss and bark measurer. Robert Wal- ker settled west of Ledgedale. His son, Ben- jamin Walker, lives on the old Jabez Bidwell place. There is a German settlement north of Ledgedale, about Razor Hill. Christian Razor (or Rose), John Razor, Henry Creeger, John Shrader and Philip Stermer came from Waldeck, Germany, and live near together. Daniel Martin and William Patterson have farms in the vicinity. John Catterson lives on a road leading to Ledgedale from the East and West road. He has cleared a good farm. John Sosenhamer, an ingenious blacksmith, married one of his daughters. Going east from Abel Wright's, about half a mile, is David Patterson, who has a large farm well walled up. James M. Sheffield lives on the Lamson place. Far- ther east James Finlay and William Finlay each cleared large farms. John Altemeier, a Prussian, has improved a farm on a cross-road towards Rollisontown. He has thirteen acres of apple orchard. Samuel Marshall, Francis, John and James Hopkins and John Hanlon have all contributed toward the development of the east- ern part of the township. Richardson Simons and James Simons live on a road running along the Five-Mile Creek.

Thomas Bortree lived and kept tavern on a spot near the line between Paupack and Salem, on the East and West road.

Lewis built a saw-mill on the Five-Mile Creek, but afterwards sold it to Roswell & William Noble, who, in turn, sold to John Layman.

Benjamin K. Bortree lived adjoining the Gabriel Davis place, near Ledgedale.

Lewis Longstreet resided in Rollisontown a number of years. Keturah, his daughter, graduated at Mt. Holyoke and taught school in Hawley a number of years. She is now the wife of James T. Rodman, of Hawley. Red- ford Longstreet reared a family of bright ehil- dren.

Emma May Buckingham, the authoress, and her mother live at Hamlinton.

at seventy-five cents per yard. He kept salt at five dollars per bushel, leather, paper, Bohea tea and pepper, and took pay in fox and deer-skins. Major Woodbridge was the first postmaster, sneceeded by his son William. There were two copies of the Hartford Courant taken in 1815. Mr. Searle carried the mail on horse-back from Milford through Salem to Wilkes-Barre every fortnight. He blew a horn as he passed a set- tler's house. When the papers came the men gathered to hear the news. About 1816 Rev. George Lanc built the first house at Salem Cor- ners, the site of Walker's present headquar- ters. He was succeeded by Oliver Hamlin,1 who was the first postmaster at Hamlinton. He associated Butler Hamlin with him in the business and finally sold to him. Butler Hamlin was appointed postmaster and con- tinued the business at this stand until about 1839, when lie built a store near his present house and occupied it until about 1868, when he built the store occupied by B. F. Hamlin, his son, G. A. Clearwater, his son-in-law, being also associated in the business. The property on the corner fell into the hands of Luther Weston, his brother Elijah conducting a store for a few years. Richard Evans removed this building to the place occupied by A. J. Andrew. Luther Weston built the present store and hall in 1850 and sold to the Walkers, who have oc- cupied it since. The rear part was built by A. B. Walker, with a Masonic hall overhead. The hall over the first building was first used by the Sons of Temperance, then by the Odd-Fellows and Masons.

In 1827 Anson Northum had a store on the southeast corner and a dwelling-house on the site of George Walker's house. He was suc- ceeded by Charles Roosa, John Raymond and Seth G. Nicholson, who built the store now oc- enpied by G. W. Simons, about 1857. John Nash has a handsome store in the village.

LODGES .-- The Sons of Temperance was the first organization of the kind in Salem. This was followed by Good Templars and the Band of Hope. Luther and Elijah Weston were the first prominent temperance men in the township.

Joseph Woodbridge's 2 account book from 1804 till 1812 shows that the settlers for ten miles around bought whiskey by the quart, , gallon, half-barrel and barrel. They could not have a logging bee, raise a house or gather a hay crop without whiskey, and all drank it. Alanson Hollister and Anson Goodrich each had difficulty in raising buildings without its nse.

Amphyctine Lodge, No. 356, I. O. of O. F., was organized July 12, 1849, with seven char- ter members -- Alphcus Hollister, D. J. Ostran- der, A. B. Walker, Roswell Morgan, J. Alden Williams, Jeremiah Fessenden and Anson Abbey.

Wayne Encampment was organized in 1867. Charter members : John B. Walker, G. O. Mott, F. B. Moss, Angelo Brown, Ebenezer R. Jones, George Foote and Edwin E. Blake. The Odd-Fellows' Encampment socicties built a hall in 1882. The Salem Lodge, No. 330, F. and A. M., was organized May 23, 1859, by Sharp D. Lewis, D. D. G. M. of Luzerne County. The charter members were Thomas Nichols, W. D. Curtis, Dr. J. N. Wilson, E. B. Hollister, A. B. Walker, Stanley Day, Marcus Day and James Searles.

The Captain Warren G. Moore Grand Army Post has been organized recently at Hollister- ville and is composed of soldiers of the late war.

POST-OFFICES .- There are five post-offices in Salem. The first office, established abont 1812, was called Salem post-office, with Willianı Woodbridge as postmaster and Ashbel Wood- bridge assistant, as near as the writer can ascer- tain. It was adjacent to the East school-house, at Major Woodbridge's house. This office was moved to Salem Corners, with Henry Heermans as postmaster. He was succeeded by Oliver Hamlin, he by Butler Hamlin, the present in- cumbeut being B. F. Hanlin. Some time after the office was moved the name was changed to Hamlinton. A. B. Walker and Dr. J. N. Wil- son each hield the office for a short time. The Hollisterville post-office was established in 1857 with Alanson Hollister as postmaster.

1 Ambrose Nicholson writes me that H. Heermans was first postmaster at Salem Corners.

2 Joseph Woodbridge was a conscientious man and stopped the distillery before he died, and Sally Case taught a school in the building about 1812.

Since then James Waite, Thomas Baker and Ernest Stevens have held the office. John Becker was postmaster at Ledgedale a number of years. L. W. Morss now holds. Simon P. Lutz was the first postmaster at Arlington, and Merritt D. Rollison now has the office. Jerome T. Stocker was appointed postmaster of Peetona January 18, 1886, and the first mail was re- ceived February 9, 1886.

THE METHODIST CHURCH IN SALEM .- An- son Goodrich, in a letter to Dr. Peck, says : " Ephraim Bidwell and Dorcas, his wife, came to Salem-then Canaan-in the year 1800. They were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. It was by invitation from Mr. Bid- well that year, or the following, that two preachers, Chambers and Polemus, held ser- vices. Dr. Peck says they came from Wyo- ming,-Chambers probably in 1801 or 1802, and Polemus in 1803." Mr. Goodrich contin- ues : " I recollect hearing Mr. Owen, Christo- pher Frye and Alfred Griffeths preach in barns, dwelling-honses and a log school-honse (probably the East school-house) ; in fact, the only school-house in what is now Salem. Be- fore Bishop Asbury left Wyoming he directed Gideon Draper to spend the rest of the year in what afterward became Canaan Circuit. Mr. Draper found Major Woodbridge in his log mill, at what is now called Moss Hollow. Mr. Woodbridge was a Congregationalist of many years' standing, but not so bigoted as to decline his aid in establishing meetings for the good of the new settlement. He was a little slow to pledge himself to the new sect, but lent an ear and proceeded as he saw light. He invited Mr. Draper to partake of the hospitalities of his house, but said nothing about his having a reg- ular appointment in the place until he had heard him preach on the Sabbath. Subsequently Mr. Draper appointed a love feast to be held in Major Woodbridge's barn. They admitted all who wished to come, and the barn was full. Major Woodbridge, his wife and a Dutch wo- man assisted Mr. Draper. Many were awakened and the meeting continued late at night. An old raftsman, seventy years of age, was con- verted. Mr. Draper asked the major to take the names of all who wished to join the society.

Twenty-two persons gave their names, and he was regularly installed as a class-leader in the Methodist Church, almost before he was aware of it."

In this account we have followed Dr. Peck's " History of Early Methodism." Anson Good- rich, in his letter, says : " The first class was formed in 1807, under Gideon Draper and William Butler. Major Woodbridge was ap- pointed the first class-leader and continued in that position till his death, in 1811 or 1812. The following persons were members of the first class formed in Salem : Theodore Woodbridge, Ephraim Bidwell, Dorcas Bidwell, Harris and Ruey Hamlin, Ruey Hamlin Baldwin, Michael Mitchell, Lucy Mitchell, Catharine Hamlin Lee, Irena Potter, Dorcas Miller, Charles Good- rich, Ann Goodrich, Charles Goodrich, Jr, Timothy Hollister, Betsey Hollister, Josiah Curtis, Eunice Curtis, Gidcon Curtis, Ann Curtis, Fitch H. Curtis, William Cobb, Salmon Jones, Sally Jones, Joseph Miller, William Dayton, Ann Dayton, Nathan S. Wright, La- menta Wright, Jeremiah Osgood, Ruth Osgood, Edmund Nicholson, Rebecca Nicholson and Oliver Hamlin. In 1812 we find in the steward's book kept by Henry Avcry the fol- lowing additional names : Luther, Polly, Pru- dence, Jabez, Oren and Sally Bidwell, Sophia Curtis, Sally Hamlin, Lucena Wright, Polly and Joel Potter, Hannah Wheatcraft, Henry and Lucy Avery, Adrial and Achsah Andrews, Samuel Harford, John Andrews, Lucy An- drews, Lamira Avery, Benjamin Harrison. Later we find John Glossenger, Betsey Ryon, Sally Brown, Cyprian Cobb, Mary Glossenger, Nancy London, Eli Mitchell. Anning Owen appears to have been presiding clder in 1807. He held the first quarterly meeting held in Salem in Major Woodbridge's barn: This barn .stood on the south side of the road, a little east of the house. Thomas Elliott is spoken of as a preacher in 1808 on Canaan Circuit. Loring Grant ministered in Salem in 1812, according to Henry Avery's book. From Fitch H. Cur- tis and John Andrew's class-book, the recollec- tion of Jemima Pect and records in the hands of Andrew Andrews, it appears that Israel Cook preached in 1816. Ebenezer Dillitts and

Robert Montgomery are mentioned. Isaac Grant preached in 1817 and 1818, Dr. George Peck in 1820, John D. Gilbert in 1821, Elisha Bibbings and Solon Stocking in 1821 and 1823, Sophironius Stocking from 1824 to 1826, John Sayre and Silas Comfort, 1826-27. Among the men that were prominent in the early his- tory of the church were Harris Hamlin, Eph- raim Bidwell, Timothy Hollister, Henry Avery and Fitch N. Curtis; later, Anson Goodrich, Hiram Clements, Andrew Andrews and Hiram Goodrich were prominent class- leaders. In 1820 Rev. George Peck was on Canaan Circuit, which then included Salem, Bethany and the region known as the Beech Woods generally. It was a two weeks' circuit, with a membership of two hundred and twenty- three and twelve preaching-places, one of them being the court-house at Bethany, three or four school-houses, the rest private houses-not one church. Dr. Peck says, after attending camp- meeting at Carpenter's Notch, Father Hamlin took his wife and child in his lumber wagon, while he rode behind on horseback, over Cobb's Mountain to Salem, a distance of thirty milc3.

" He offered us a part of his house for the year and we gladly accepted it. We boarded with him a part of the time and he also kept my horse when I was at home and he refused to take any pay for all that he had done for us." The infant mentioned, twenty-five years after- ward stood before the people of Salem as their pastor-Rev. George M. Peck. Subsequently he was presiding elder over Honesdale District. Still later, he preached again in Salem, for two years. They had two preachers for a number of years, one living at Canaan and the other at Salem. The Salem man would preach in Canaan every alternate Sabbath, and the Canaan man in Salem, till 1841-42, wlien Paupack Mission was annexed. Shortly after there were two preachers again,-one in Salem and one in Sterling. Their arrangements were the same as between Salem and Canaan. In 1859 Ster- ling was taken off, leaving Salem with one preacher. Salem charge now has five preaching points,-Hamlinton, Hollisterville, Maplewood, Little Chapel and Bidwell Hill,-with about two hundred members, five Sunday-schools, with

thirty-eight teachers and over two hundred pu- pils. There have been many revivals among them, notably in 1837-38, when Rev. William Readdy was on the charge. It started in the prayer-meetings at Bidwelltown. Aaron Gillett exhorted. The preacher did not attend often, and forty or fifty joined the church. In 1859- 60 the greatest revival occurred known in the history of the Salem Church, during Rev. Jacob Miller's pastorate, about one hundred and sixty professing conversion. The Salem Methodist Episcopal Church is the oldest of that denomi- nation in the county and the parent church of all the Methodist Episcopal Churches for tell miles around. It has contained a goodly num- ber of earnest workers, who have passed on to their reward. Benjamin Ryon, Sabin Andrews, Hiram Clements, Fitch H. Curtis, and scores of others who might be mentioned, will be remem- bered for their devotion. Their preachers are zealous, warm-hearted men, for the most part, who have waged aggressive warfare for their church. Among those who have come down to us as earnest preachers are Isaac Grant, Elder Bibbings, Solon and Sophronius Stocking, Dr. George Peck and his son, George M. Peck. The number of zealous preachers who have labored here are too numerous to mention. The first services were held in barns, private houses and school-houses. The East school-house was built about 1807 or 1808, and the West school-house a little later. In 1815 Charles Goodrich deeded the land where the Methodist Episcopal Church of Hamlinton now stands to Gideon Curtis, Adrial Andrews, Edmund Nicholson, Charles Goodrich, Jr., and Fitch H. Curtis, evidently for school and meeting purposes, this being the lot upon which the old school-house stood. In. 1829 this same land is deeded by the above grantees to William T. Noble, Timothy Hollis- ter, Anson Goodrich and Oliver Hamlin, trust- ees of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Salem. In 1830 these same trustees, with the additional name of Samuel Harford, obtained a charter for the Salem Methodist Episcopal Church. A Union Church had been built on this ground and was dedicated August 18, 1827. The Methodists gave one-half and the Presbyterians and Protestants the other

half, with the understanding that the Methodist Episcopal should have the church every alter- nate Sabbath in the morning and contra in the afternoon. The Presbyterians and Protestants divided the alternate Sabbaths. One Sunday the Protestants took possession one-half hour earlier than the regular hour, when it was not their turn. The Methodists. got the keys and locked them ont. These difficulties culminated in a lawsuit between the Presbyterians and Method- ists, in which the Presbyterians were success- ful, when the Methodists bought ont the interest of such individual Presbyterians as would sell, but Dr. Wright and some others would not sell and always claimed their rights. In 1832-33, when the Presbyterians built their church, some of the Methodists aided the enterprise. What- ever the difficulties which marred the harmony of the early church, they have long since vanished, and peace and good-will now prevails. This old Union Church was thirty-eight by forty, with two entrance doors in the south end, a pulpit between galleries on the sides and north end supported by large round pine pillars. It would seat six hundred people. The women all en- tered the west door and occupied that side of the church, the men taking the east side. Dr. George Peck preached the last sermon in the old church and also laid the corner-stone of the present Centennial Methodist Episcopal Church in 1866. The Rollisontown inhabitants built a log school-house in 1838, near the lane that comes to the road from Arthur Rollison's honse. Before the school-house was built there was preaching occasionally at William Dayton's. Nathaniel Rollison was the first class-leader, as John William Bidwell is at present. They have just completed a beautiful little church, James Osborne giving the ground. It was dedicated December 19, 1885, by Rev. W. M. Hiller, Rev. J. O. Woodruffe, Rev. C. L. Rice and Rev. D. A. Sandford. Arthur Rollison, George M. Bidwell and J. W. Bidwell are the leading members. Rollisontown, Centreville and Ledge- dale are in the Paupack Circuit. The first woods-meeting was held in Timothy Hollister's barn and the woods adjoining in 1815, accord- ing to the recollection of Abner Collins. Polly Bidwell, aged eighty, Joseph Osgood, aged

eighty-one, and Sally Weston, aged eighty- two, say they were present at the first regular camp-meeting ever held in Salem, in 1818. Marmaduke Pierce was presiding elder and Isaac Grant preacher in Salem. It was held in the woods on the west side of the road, back of Adrial Andrews', near a spring. About 1825 they held camp-meetings in Canaan, and the Protestant Methodists had camp-meetings near Hollisterville. The present Salem Camp-Meet- ing Association was chartered February 2, 1875, by Judge Waller. Capital stoek, one thousand dollars, with the privilege of increasing it to twenty thousand dollars. It is controlled by a board of fifteen directors chosen from the stock -. holders, which directors shall choose a president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer. The stockholders purchased ten acres of ground on the south side of the road, abont one-half mile west of Salem Corners, of A. J. Andrews, em- braeing a beech and birch grove, with a few hemlock trees scattered among them. The association have erected a rostrum or preacher's stand, a prayer-meeting tent with the prophets' rooms overhead, and a boarding-house and sandwich stand. Abont fifty cottages, owned by individnals, are ranged in circular form around the audience ground. The first board of directors were Rev. S. F. Wright, Rev. W. G. Queal, Rev. H. M. Crydenwise, Rev. Ste- phen Jay and Rev. Jonas Underwood ; and the following layınen : Gilbert White, Sanford Williams, A. J. Andrew, J. P. Mitchell, J. W. Bidwell, James Van Camp, William D. Curtis, George Williams, John H. Williams and O. H. Pease. There has been a camp-meeting held annually since the charter was granted.
