ROADS .- In the early history of this town- ship the roads werc few in number and in a very poor condition. The streams were unbridged, and it was necessary to cross them at fords. The oldest road located in the township was constructed more than a hundred years ago. This road, extending from Stroudsburg to New Foundland settlement, followed Brodhead Creek, and consequently ran through the western part of the township. This is still the main road in Price. Another road extended from this township to Paradise Valley, which has been repaired and is still in use. The roads in this township are now more numerous and in a much better condition, which is due to tlie diligence of the supervisors. The following is a list of persons who have been supervisors in Price since 1840:

RELIGIOUS MATTERS.

MCCOMAS METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.1 -- Regular Methodist preaching services began to be held in the school-house near the old Price farm, or homestead, about the year 1856, by the Rev. Francis D. Eagan. As the result of these services, several persons were converted and a small society organized. which continued to meet in the school-house till the year 1866, when the Third Quarterly Conference of Monroe Circuit appointed a committee to inquire into the expediency of building a church. The committee, at the next Conference, reported in favor of the proposition, and a board of trustees was elected, consisting of Samuel Posten, Harri- son Sebring, George W. Price, John B. Snow, Daniel Long and Edward F. Palen. During the summer of 1867, under the pastorate of Rev. N. D. McComas, a one-story frame church, twenty-four by thirty-four feet, was erected. The prospect of raising the necessary funds seemed very dark at first. The community was one of farmers, who were not able to contribute much in the shape of money. The ground, however, was given by Harrison Sebring, and most of the lumber by various individuals. A large part of the work, also, was contributed under the lead of Rev. McConias, who showed his zeal by his works, laboring with his own hands. At a critical juncture, when it seemed as if the work must stop for want of means, help was afforded by the firm of Palen & Nor- throp, of Canadensis, who, from first to last, took a deep interest in this enterprise. On the occasion referred to they came to the rescue with a contribution of one hundred and fifty dollars. The church being finished, there remained to be raised on the day of dedication about two hun- dred dollars, which amount was raised at the morning service without much difficulty. The furniture of the church was secured through the exertions of Mrs. Sarah Northrop, who raised a sufficient sum among her friends and purchased the articles needed. In view of the interest thus shown, it was determined to give her the naming of the church. She selected the name of " McComas Chapel," in honor of the

energetic pastor under whose administration it was built.

The total cost of the church was eight hun- dred and fifty dollars. Soon after the dedica- tion a revival occurred, resulting in the conver- sion of sixteen persons, increasing the member- ship to thirty-seven. Regular services have been held in the church from its dedication to the present time, by the following pastors : Revs. N. D. McComas, B. T. String, William P. Howell, T. W. Maclary, Jeremiah Pastor- field, J. D. Folsom, George Alcorn, Frederick Illman, Lewis M. Hobbs and George Mack. In the year 1877 Monroe Circuit was divided, when McComas Chapel became a part of Spragueville Circuit, on which circuit it still re- mains. Last year the church building was re- paired and repainted at a cost of one hundred dollars, and is free of debt. The membership has never been very large, owing to the sparse population of the neighborhood. There are at present twenty-three members. A Sabbatlı- school is held in the church during the summer and fall months, numbering forty-three officers, teachers and scholars.

The present officials of the church are as fol- lows : Pastor, George Mack ; Stewards, Henry Lesoine, Margaret Posten ; Trustees, Lewis Long, Zalmon Snow, Henry Lesoine, James Conklin, Thomas Long ; Class-Leader, Henry Lesoine ; Sunday-school Superintendent, Mar- garet Posten. A graveyard is connected with the church, in which a large number of those who have died in the neighborhood are buried.

CHAPTER XXI.

PARADISE TOWNSHIP.2

PARADISE TOWNSHIP comprises what was formerly a portion of Price township. It is bounded on the north by Barrett township, on the east by Price, on the south by Pocono and on the west by Coolbaugh. Its extent in lengtlı, east and west, is about seven miles, and its width is about four miles.

WAYNE, PIKE AND MONROE COUNTIES, PENNSYLVANIA.

The general structure of the township is very uneven, being composed of numerous hills, some of which, in the northern part, are called Pocono Mountains.

Two valleys, nearly parallel, and each about two miles in length and one-half a mile in width, lie in the centre. One of the valleys is watered by Long Swamp Creek, which rises in the north- western part of the township and flows in a south- easterly direction. Timber Hill Creek waters the other valley. This stream rises in the west, flows in an easterly direction and joins Long Swamp Creek. Heller Creek rises in the southern part of the township, flows northeasterly and unites its waters with those of Long Swamp and Timber Hill Creeks a short distance below their junction. The confluence of these three streams forms the middle branch of Brodhead Creek, which branch flows easterly until joined by Cranberry Run, when a southeasterly course is taken. Cranberry Run flows down through the eastern portion of Paradise township and merges into the middle branch of Brodhead Creek. These streams ren- der the soil fertile, and, abounding with trout, are a source of pleasure and profit to the fishermen.

The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Rail- road passes in a northerly direction through the eastern portion of this township, and re-entering, winds in a southerly direction through the western part. This railroad affords large facilities for travel and shipments. The grade of the railroad in passing through Paradise township sometimes exceeds, but never is less than ninety feet to the mile.

Nearly one-half of the land of Paradise town- ship is cultivated, the balance being either slightly wooded or barren. The two valleys comprise the most fertile parts and yield well. The soil is loamy and produces the usual fruits, grains and vegetables. Quarrying flag-stones afford em- ployment in different places in Paradise to many men.

The scenery is varied and picturesque, and an abundance of fish and game attracts annually a large number of city people to this region.

The population, as given by the census of 1880, is six hundred and eighty-eight.

ORGANIZATION .- Paradise township was erected from Price in the fall of 1848. It originally con-

tained more territory, comprising a part of what is now Barrett township. The cause and manner of its erection are recorded in the prothonotary's office at Stroudsburg, and are as follows :

"The petition of citizens of Price township, setting forth that they labour under great inconvenience and grievance in consequence of the great extent of Ter- ritory which is embraced in said Township, consist- ing of Twelve Miles square, or more, which causes great trouble and expense in attending to the public duties of said Township, and praying the court that a New Township shall be cut off of the western portion of said Township, to be called Paradise, by a line running from the corner of Stroud and Pocono Town- ships, where it intersects the said line of said Price Township, near Michael Ransberry's ; thence to a point on the North line of said Price township, where it adjoins Pike County, passing between William Long's and Smith Price's in said Township. And praying the court to appoint proper persons to make division and lay out the said new Township of Para- dise. Whereupon the Court, on the tenth day of April, 1847, appoint John Shively, Walter Barry, Jr., and Jonas Hanna Commissioners to inquire into the propriety of granting the prayer of the Petitioners and make Report of their proceedings, together with a plot or draft of the Township proposed to be laid off if the same cannot be fully designated. And now, July 14, 1847, the Commissioners make the following Report: To the Honorable Judges within named : we, the undersigned, the Commissioners in the within order named, according to previous notice, did meet on the 27th day of April, A.D. 1847, and after being duly sworn or affirmed according to law, proceeded to the performance of the duties within mentioned, and in pursuance thereof do report that we have Sur- veyed and Marked the line as follows : Beginning at the corner of Stroud and Pocono Townships, where they intersect Price Township ; thence North twelve degrees West Nine Miles to the Falls of the Buck- hill Branch of Brodhead Creek, where we put up a good Stone Corner ; thence North seventy-eight de- grees East Seven perches and six-tenths to the lower edge of the said Falls, where we put up a good Stone Corner ; thence North Twelve degrees West, passing between William Long's and Smith Price's, three miles and a quarter to the Northern line of said Price Township, adjoining Pike County, where we put up a good Stone Corner into woods and marked it well. And we are of the Opinion that the division of Price Township is necessary, and have accordingly sett off that part of Price Township West of the above lines as a new township ; a plot or draft is hereunto annexed. Witness our hands this elev- enth day of May, A.D. 1847.

EARLY SETTLEMENT .- The first settlements in Paradise township were made in the two valleys. These places were doubtless selected on account of the fertility of the soil. In the one valley Henry Everhart, Nicholas Bush, George Kleckler and John Learn settled, in the other valley George Dornblaser, Abraham Transue, Philip Transue, Peter Wagner, George Hilgert, George Bowman, Michael Nauman and John Setzer. All were farmers, and selected localities favorable for cul- tivation. On account of the abundance of game and fish, there was no difficulty in supplying the table with meat. Stroudsburg was the nearest point at which they could procure the necessaries of life which they did not possess.

Henry Everhart and George Kleckler settled in Paradise township about 1820. They did not remain many years in the township, but moved away with their entire families. Augustus Bie- secker now owns and occupies the land on which George Kleckler settled. The tract on which
