The Reformed Church at Hauser's Mills was erected and dedicated in 1884. The dedication services were conducted by Rev. D. Y. Heisler, of Easton, assisted by Rev. G. W. Kershner, of Stroudsburg, and Rev. Frank Smith, the pastor in charge. The building is a neat structure, thirty by sixty feet, one story high. The cost of the build- ing was about two thousand two hundred dollars. At present there is no pastor stationed here. Permis- sion, however, is granted to the Methodists to have services twice a month. The membership of this church numbers about one hundred.

SCHOOLS .- The first school house in this region was built in 1831, at what was formerly called Soxville, in Tobyhanna township. It was a small building, constructed of logs. Miss Sarah Win- ters presided as the first teacher. The school law passed in 1834 had the effect of lastening other school buildings. Some of these are still standing, but are no longer used for school purposes. In- stead of these, new buildings have been erected in convenient locations. In this region there are now fourteen schools, containing five hundred and forty nine pupils. Six male and eight female teachers are employed. to whom the sum of $1831.62 is annually paid. The average school term is five months. These schools receive a State appropriation of $438.53. The total tax for school and building purposes is $1558.02.

MANUFACTORIES .- This region is well timbered, and on this account most of its manufactories are for the conversion of logs into boards and other marketable merchandise. Various saw-mills have been erected since its settlement of which no data can be obtained. It is very probable that the first saw-inill in this district was erected by Jasper Vliet at Long Pond in 1820. This saw-mill, as well as many others in this region, has not been used for some years. The manufactories at the present time consist of five saw-mills, three clothes- pin factories, a shoe- peg factory, a planing-mill and a silk-mill.

The Tobyhanna and Lehigh Lumber Company are the owners of one of the saw-mills, a clothes pin factory, the planing-mill and silk-mill. On the site of the present saw-mill several others have stood. This one was built in 1865. It stands on a bank of the Tobyhanna Creek, within the limits of Tobyhanna Millls. The creek affords easy fa- cilities for booming the logs. The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad passing close by it affords an easy transfer of its produce to market. The capacity of the mill is twelve mil- lion feet per annum. In operating it fifty-one men are employed.

The planing-mill was built by the same firm in 1858 and rebuilt in 1862. A rail track connects this mill with the saw-mill, and the boards are easily transferred from one mill to the other. Its facilities are excellent and could be improved on in no way. Eight men are employed in its opera- tion.

In 1881 this company built a clothes-pin and shoe-peg factory in one building. This was de- stroyed by fire in 1882, when the present clothes- pin factory was erected. It is situated in Toby- hanna Mills, in close proximity to the other mills. This factory is believed to be the largest clothes- pin factory in the United States, four sets of ma- chinery being in use. It is run on full time and the average number employed is thirty-two.

For the successful management of these manu- factories the Tobyhanna and Lehigh Lumber Company employ fifty-five other men in various capacities. In addition to these, many other men are employed by contractors, to whom a large amount of work is given yearly by this company. In connection with their industries here is a saw- mill at Tannery, Carbon County, with a capacity of seven million and a half feet per annum, the timber for which is principally supplied from Coolbaugh township.

A silk-mill was erected at Tobyhanna Mills in 1883 by this company. It is leased and run by the Standard Silk Company. The building is a wooden structure, forty-three by two hundred and twenty-five feet. The silk is received in original packages from Italy and Japan. At this mill it is spun and prepared for weaving, when it is shipped away. From seventy-five to one hundred persons are employed in it. Isaac Stauffer owns a saw-mill, a shoe peg factory and clothes-pin fac- tory, all of which are located at Hauser's Mills.

The saw-mill was erected in 1851 by Charles Hauser. By him it was conveyed to Isaac Stauffer, the present owner, who has thoroughly re- paired it. The mill is constantly run and affords employment to about a dozen men. The clothes- pin factory was erected by him in 1876. He has operated it on full time from its erection to the present date. Steam and water-power are used to run it. About thirty persons are engaged in oper- ating it. The shoe-peg factory was built in 1882 by Mr. Stauffer and has been in full operation ever since. It is the only shoe peg factory in the county at the pr sent time. It is run by steam. There are about thirty persons employed in it.

Thomas Miller is the owner of a saw-mill and clothes-pin factory situated in Millerstown. These manufactories were constructed by Timothy Miller and by him conveyed to William Wallace in 1879.

MONROE COUNTY.

In 1884 they were purchased of William Wallace by Thomas Miller, the present owner. The saw- mill was built in 1862 on the Tunkhannock Creek. The mill is well adapted and located. It is run on full time and affords employment to about a dozen men. The clothes-pin factory is situated in the same neighborhood. It was built in 1884. Mr. Miller runs the mill at its full ca- pacity and employs about forty persons. Peter Merwine and Amos Koch are the owners of the other two saw-mills, both of which are in Tunk- hannock township. They are portable steam saw- mills, and when luniber is scarce in one neighbor- hood they are taken to another. Peter Merwine has run his since 1868 and Amos Koch since 1885. About a dozen men are employed to run each of them.

POST-OFFICES .- The first post-office in this dis- trict was undoubtedly established at Naglesville. . The date, however, cannot be obtained. In 1865 Simon Gruver was appointed postmaster, and the name of the office changed to Tobyhanna Mills. Simon Gruver was succeeded by Samuel Case, I. S. Case, Samuel Shaw and N. S. Brittain, the present incumbent. With the exception of Stroudsburg, it is the only money-order office in the county.

In 1848 a post-office was established at Forks, under the name of New Mount Pleasant. Oliver D. Smith was appointed postmaster. He was suc- ceeded by Joseph Myers, Theodore Brodhead,. Jacob B. Teel, Lewis Smith, James Wilson, D. C. Yothers and Lewis Smith, the present incumbent. In 1864 the name of the office was changed to Forks, and later on to Mount Pocono, the present name. In 1879 a post-office was established at Hauser's Mills, and Mrs. Isaac Stauffer was ap- pointed postmistress. The office has never been changed, and is still managed by Mrs. Stauffer. Drover's Home post-office was established August 21, 1882 Josiah Dowling was appointed post- master at that time, and still retains the position. Long Pond post-office was established July 1,. 1883. Daniel Klase was the first postmaster. His successors were O. J. Kistler and John Bar- rall, the present incumbent. In 1884 a post-office was established at Blakeslee.

ing proprietors : Josiah Dowling & Bro., at Drov- er's Home ; James Wilson, at Forks; W. H. Everett, at Mount Pocono; H. F. Krauter, at Tobyhanna Mills; John McCormick, at Pocono ; Isaac Stauffer, at Houser's Mills ; Catharine Shif- fer, at Blakeslee; John Elminiger, in Tobyhanna township ; S. F. Larzalere, at Long Pond ; and Frank P. Meckes, in Tunkhannock township. All of these hotels are kept in an excellent man- ner, and good accommodations are afforded to man and beast. During the summer months many of them are filled with summer boarders in search of health and pleasure, both of which are to be ob- tained in this region. The boarding-houses are conducted by the following gentlemen : E. E. Hooker & Son are the owners of the largest board- ing-house in this neighborhood, situated a short distance from Forks, and can afford good accom- modations to one hundred guests; William Case's boarding-house is located at Tobyhanna Mills, and affords accommodations to fifty persons; David Vliet's boarding-house is at Forks, and accommo. dates forty guests ; William Heller's boarding- house is located at Forks, and affords accommoda- tion to forty guests ; Samuel Warner's boarding- house is located at Forks, and accommodates thirty guests. The boarding-houses are newly built on fine locations and fitted up with modern appliances. Many persons are attracted here an- nually by the healthy location, (being two thousand feet above the sea-level), the beauty of the scenery and the good accommodations afforded them by the proprietors of the hotels and boarding-houses.

VILLAGES. - Tobyhanna Mills, the largest vil- lage in this section of the country, is pleasantly lo- cated near the centre of Coolbaugh township. The land on which it is situated was originally owned by the Drinker family, of whom the Tobyhanna and Lehigh Lumber Company purchased forty thou- sand acres, including the present town. By them lots were sold and buildings erected. I. S. Case superintended the general laying out of the town. The cause of the rapid growth of this village is the

industries of the Tobyhanna and Lehigh Lumber Company. The first house erected within the present site of Tobyhanna Mills was a log one, erected by Jasper Vliet. The village was formerly called Naglesville, in honor of George Nagle, a man from Philadelphia, who opened the first store here, and also built a small water-power saw-mill about 1840. The village afterwards received its present name from the Indian name for the stream flowing by it. The town contains a Methodist Episcopal Church and a Catholic Church, a post- office, a depot and freight-house, three stores' (run respectively by The Tobyhanna and Lehigh Lumber Company; D. G. Callahan and W. W. Brodhead), a clothes-pin factory, saw-mill, a planing-mill, a silk-inill, a graded school contain- ing three departments, a hotel, a boarding-house and a number of minor industries. The popula- tion at the present is estimated at about eight hun- dred.

Forks Station is a hamlet situated in the south - eastern part of Coolbaugh township. It contains a depot and freight-house of the D. L & W. R. R., a post office, two hotels, two (stores, run respec- tively by C. R. Andre and F. E. Place), a bottling establishment, three boarding-houses and about twenty dwellings. The village is increasing, and is visited yearly by numbers of summer boarders.

Tompkinsville, Hauser's Mills and Millertown are three villages in Tobyhanna township, lying contiguous to one another. Within the space which they cover are a post-office, a hotel, three stores (managed respectively by Isaac Stauffer, Thomas Miller and James Werkheiser), two clothes- pin factories, two saw-mills, a shoe-peg factory, a blacksmith and wheelwright shop and about fifty dwellings.

Blakeslee is the name of a small settlement on the Easton and Wilkes-Barre turnpike, in the northwestern part of Tobyhanna township. It contains a store run by Jacob Blakeslee, a post- office, a church and about fifteen dwellings. It was named in honor of Jacob Blakeslee.
