walt, of Wayne township, Mifflin County. Their children are George, married to Ann Elizabeth Corney, who has teu children ; Wil- liam (deceased) ; Margaret AAnn (deceased) ; Sarah Jane (Mrs. J. Strode MeKee, deceased) ; Andrew J. (deceased) ; Susam; Mary (Mis. Scott Caldwell), who has three children; and


Mr. McKee, though by inclination a farmer, engaged in various business enterprises, having, for many years, been engaged in conducting a saw-mill. Ile also acquired much real estate, which was greatly improved, spacious barns and attractive dwellings having been erected on the ground.


Mr. MeKee was an active politician and a firm believer in the principles of his party, which honored him with distinguished office. Ile was elected, during the sessions of 1819 and 1850, to the State Legislature, and served on varions important committees Ile also held various minor positions in the county of his adoption. He was frequently called to positions of trust, and at various times acted as guardian and trustee. In his religions prof- ences he was a Presbyterian and a willing sup- porter of that denomination.


The land at Stennk's and its vicinity was part of a large tract taken up by Charles Cox, of Philadelphia. In the year 1796, James Alex- ander made an article of agreement with Mr. Cox for land at the mill-site, and on which he erected a grist and saw-mill. Mr. Alexander rontinned these mills until 1818, when he sold his rights to Isaiah Willis, who built a ware- house in 1820, near where the acqnednet now is. While finishing this building he was killed by a fall from the scaffolding. His excentors sold the property to Andrew Junkin, who, in 1823, conveyed it to Caspar Dull, who operated it until 1831, when Daniel Stetzman purchased it, and in 1833 it was sold to David Brooks. On the 3d of April, 1837, Augustine and George Wakefield became the purchasers ; under them the old mill was abandoned and the new and present mill was built. They operated it for about fifteen years. It is now owned by William and Albert Strunk.


Lyon tract before 1830, now owned by Rudolph Kline and Frank 1. MeCoy.


Owen Owens came to Lewistown from Mid- dletown, Danphin County, in 1812, when seven years of age. He was a blacksmith by trade, and moved to Wayne township (now Oliver), at what is now Lockport, and in 1829 opened the three locks for the first time for boats to pass through. Ile remained at the place four or five years and moved to a farm which James Shep- herd recently owned. In 1861 he moved to what is now Granville, on the MeFadden farm .. In 1865 Walter Owen opened a store at Granville. It was made a passenger station in 1866, and the same year a post-office was es- tablished as Granville ; the place was known be- fore as Wolfkill's Siding.


James Gemmel received a warrant for three hundred acres of land Jannary 23, 1767, which was assessed to Jolm Gemmel in 1768. On the 17th of June, 1774, he received a patent for it, called " Kilmarnock," containing three hundred and five aeres. On the 8th of June, 1809, he received a patent for another tract of one hundred and fifty-seven aeres, called " Mount Equity." John Gemmel was one of the trustees of the Presbyterian congregation who purchased two acres of land of David Steel in 1781. He had a son, Thomas, who studied law and was admitted to practice in Mifflin County in 1802. Another son, John, was a clergyman in Chester County, to whom the farm descended. On the 13th of March, 1813, the Rev. John Gem- mel sold the four hundred and sixty-two acres to Jacob Comfort, of Columbia, Lancaster County. He had been in the Revolution, and, at this time, settled on the place, where he died. Ilis sons were John, Jacob, Samnel and Nathan- iel, who settled in the township and at Lewis- town. After the father's death the place passed to Judge Samnel S. Woods, and is now owned by William Satzler and Samuel Rittenhouse.


Jolm Cover, before 1770, settled on a large traet of land on Kelly's Run, in Granville township, and died before 1773. The property was divided, in 1774, into three parts, between three of his sons-Peter, Samnel and John. In 1816 it was owned by Peter, John, Samnel and

1800, and some years later. It is now owned by Joseph MeFadden and Robert A. Mens.


On the 19th of January, 1792, Abraham Miller took ont a warrant for one hundred acres of land on Juniata River, embracing what is How Granville Station. This be sold, in 1811, to Daniel Brought, who, in 1798, came from Lititz, Lancaster County, to Richfield, Juniata County, where he rented a farm and lived until he purchased the land of Abraham Miller. His father, David Brought, was an officer of the Ilessians, and was captured at Trenton, N. J., in 1776. He was sent, with others, to Lititz, Lancaster County, and, liking the country and to escape being exchanged, he ran away and came to Juniata County. At the close of the Revolution he returned to Lititz and rented a farm there. Ile was joined in 1795 by his wife and sons, Daniel and David, who came from Germany to settle with him. Daniel, who came to what is now Greenville, in 1811, died in ISIS, and left six children-David, John, Dan- iel, George, An and Mary. David married Jane Steel, a daughter of one of the carly fami- lies. John became a farmer, and purchased large tracts of land in the township, and at his death owned nine hundred acres. Daniel be- came the owner of "Panther Spring" farm. Ilis descendants own large tracts of land in the township.


George, the fourth son of Daniel, settled in the township where his descendants now reside. Ann, a daughter of Daniel, became the wife of James Wilson, and settled in the county.


Her sister, Mary, married George Sellers, and also settled in the county.


Of those who took up lands on warrant in what is now the township of Granville are the following :


William Armstrong, February 3, 1755.


James Armstrong, April 10, 1755, 282 acres.


Thomas Holt, June 8, 1762, 150 acres ; August 29, 1766. 000 acres.

Jolin Baum, July 5, 1790, 50 acres.


Frederick Baum, November 80, 1793, 100 acres ; 1791, 50 acres.


John Baum, March 31, 1791, 200 acres.


Of the following mamues nothing has been ascertained : James Brown, William Lloyd, James Longwell, James Edwards and Charles Magill. Ephraim Blaine was a non-resident and lived in Carlisle. John Brown was a son of Judge William Brown and purchased land for ore. The land of Thomas Evans became, with the Holt lands, a part of the Furnace land- of General William Lewis. George Bratton re- sided in Harrisburg and died there. A Benja- min Chambers appears as a warrantec in 1793. Robert Chambers was a trustee of the Presby- terian Church also, and Thomas Martin was a resident of this section evidently before 1780, and in 1791 took up other lands. Of the Baums nothing is known.


" HOPE Fenseg."-General William Lew- is, of Berks County, began the purchase of land in what is now Granville township in June, 1797, with a view of establishing a furnace. He purchased of the heirs of Thomas Halt a tract of four hundred acres which had been warranted in 1762-66, on the bank of the Juniata River, and extending along on Brightfield's Run, which was soon after his purcha-e known as the " Furnace Tract." Thomas Evans was associated with him, and in a mortgage of June 2, 1798, there is mentioned the Ore-Bank lot, also hought from the heirs of Thomas Holt ; there was "sub- jeet to be paid forty pounds to each of the right heirs of Thomas Holt in cast-iron one year after the furnace is in blast on the afore-aid described tract."_In all previous accounts of the furnace it has been stated that it was built in

1807, but an examination of the assessment roll of Derry township for the year 1798 shows that William Lewis was assessed in that year on four Inmdred and thirty acres of land, a furnace and as an iron-master, which is con- «Insive evidence that it was built or building in that year. In 1806-7 he is assessed on a fir- pace and a saw-mill. The furnace was operated by James Blaine, of Perry County (who was his son-in-law), and who operated also Mount Vernon Forge, on Cocolamus Creek, in Green- wood township, Perry County, which was built by General Lewis in 1801. The furnace was mamed " Hope Furnace," and was situated about two miles from the Juniata River and about six miles from Lewistown. In 1810 R. Good was associated with him, and the property belonging to the estate was five hundred and thirty aeres, Mr. Lewis died in 1811, and on the 24th of April, 1812, his executors, General Joli Bratton, William W. Laird and Ellen Lewis, offered the property for sale, with four Indred acres of land in Derry township. It was not sold at that time, and David MeConahey and William W. Laird, who had formed a part- nership before this and were operating it, con- tinued until May 23, 1812, when the firm was dissolved and William W. Laird continued for several years. In 1817 it was operated by Blaine, Walker & Co., and for several years, when it was leased to different parties for diller- ent periods.


The furnace and property remained in posses- sion of the heirs of William Lewis until the year 1830, when it was sold to David W. Inlings, Esq. It then contained two tracts of land, one of six hundred and forty acres, the other, on which the furnace was standing, of fourteen hundred and twenty acres. A part of the Fur- mace tract is still in possesion of his descend- ants. It was refitted by Mr. Hulings and oper- ated several years, with John R. Weckes as manager. Stoves were cast there also, and many are yet in existence having the brand " Hulings' Hope Furnace." In 1846 the fir- nace was leased by A. B. Long & Brothers, who rebuilt the furnace with a ten-feet bosh in that year, and in 1818 they were manufac- turing chair-castings for the Pennsylvania


road, then building. They dissolved partner- ship April 12, 1819, as far as operations at. Hope Furnace were concerned, and soon after sold the material on hand.


On the 13th of November, 1854, articles of agreement were made between Gordon G. Wil- li:uns, assignee of David W. Hulings, and Wil- lis W. Hopper, Ellison A. Hopkins, James Murray and Henry R. Hazlehurst, partners of the firm of Murray & Hazlehurst, of Baltimore, Md., for the lease of "all the Old Hope Fur- nace site, houses and lands." In the year 1856 the Hope Furnace Company was incor- porated, composed of the above persons and others. James Murray was president, A. R. Woods treasurer, and Willis W. Hopper man- ager. The furnace was refitted and operated by the company from that time to 1860, when it was abandoned and the lease given up. The site of the furnace is still in possession of the Hulings estate.


FOUNDRIES. - In 1873 Henry Selick, of Ferguson's Valley, purchased a farm south of Granville village from Miss Mary MeKec, and erceted thereon a foundry, machine-shop and blacksmith-shop. Here he manufactured several patterns of plows of his own invention.


Scuoors .- Of the first school-honses of the township but little definite information can be obtained. Most of them were built by the citi- zens, the ground donated without any agree- ment or deed, and consequently but little can be learned except from the older citizens. The first house of which we have any knowledge, in the locality of Granville village, was a log structure built by the citizens on the site of the house now owned by F. A. McCoy. The land was then a part of the Wertz traet. This house was ocenpied as a school-honse as early as 1830. Abont 1810 a house was built on the present site, the land being donated by John McFad- den, and the school being called the McFadden school. This house was replaced by the present one in 1860.


In 1870 the district was divided and a house built on a lot purchased from David Corbin, which is still ocenpied. An old house stood on the bank of Granville Rum, which was replaced by the present one in 1859. The lot was purchased

from James Burns, and later deeded Septem- ber 27, 1862. (In this honse I taught my first term, in 1859.) There was an old house in the western end of the township, near to Strode's Mills, but there is no record of it. The base- ment of the Presbyterian Church was occupied as a school-room for a member of years, when the site of the present house was purchased from Joseph Strode, Sr., in August, 1861. This house stands on the bank of Strode's Run, about midway between the old pike and Strode's mill. About the middle of the township (east and west), and on the north side of the Juniata River, was situated a log house of which there is no record, and which had not been occupied as a school- honse later than 1810. In its stead a log house was erected about a mile farther west, on land purchased from John Hoffman, August 6, 18 10. This was used for school purposes until 1855, when a stone house was built near to the site of the old log house mentioned above, on land leased from Frank Thompson. This house was replaced one year ago (1881) by a substantial double plank house. About two mile east of the above house is one formerly known as the Loop, but now called the Mayes' School. It was built on the corner of the Matthew Mayes' farm. Of this school there is no record. The writer attended school here in 1815.


It was an old honse at that time. A new building was erected on the old site in 1868, and isstill occupied. In March, 1853, the board of directors bought from the board of Lewistown a lot of ground sitnated north of the borough of Lewistown, and created a building which is still occupied, but is in a dilapidated condition. The first school-house, known as Aurand's, in Ferguson's Valley, nearly opposite Lewistown, was replaced by the present building in 1860. This, in connection with one farther up the valley, known as the MeKee school-house, are the only two in the valley.


In 1874 a lot was purchased from James Burns, at Lewistown Junction, and a frame house erected thereon. It was the first house in the township in which there were used the patent desk. There are now five houses supplied with them. There has been a marked improvement in school-houses and school for- house."


niture within the past thirty years. The first houses were built of logs, nearly square, with ceilings scarcely seven feet high. The houses now built, though not fully up to the standard of first-class houses, are generally well-pro- portioned, substantially built and arranged for the comfort of both teachers and pupils. There are at present ten school- in Gran- ville township. According to last year's statistics, there were two hundred and thir- teen male pupils and one hundred and sixty female pupils-total, three hundred and seventy- three, with an average attendance of two hun- dred and forty-seven, and an average percent- age of attendance of eighty-six.


PRESBYTERIAN Cimen .- The history of the church here given has passed from the memory of all except William P. Elliott, of Lew- istown. The facts here given are from official records and from his memory of the old church. It is not mentioned by the Presbytery unless em- braced in the Upper and Centre Wayne congre- gations, of which Mr. Stephens was pastor, and who resided in what is now Bratton township.


On the 24th of May, 1781, David Steel con- veyed to James Huston, Thomas Martin, John Gemmel and Robert Chambers, trustees of the Presbyterian congregation, two acres of land on the north side of the Juniata River, in consider- ation of " fiveteen bushels of good, sufficient merchantable wheat," with "the privilege of the use of the head of the spring of water aris- ing on the northwest side of said fore-mentioned tract or lot of ground, and also for liberty of a road from said traet to the present landing of him, the said David Steel, and what other roads may be necessary for the other parts of the said congregation to come from the great tradeing road to thesaid lott or tract of ground, said road to be laid out where they may be the most conve- vient to the people and do least damage to him, the said David Steel ; likewise the said David Steel doth grant as much timber as will be suf- ficient to build a house of worship and study- house on said tract or lott of ground, and to allow privilege of fire-wood from time to time and at all times that may be necessary for the use of said house of worship and study-

Upon this lot a log church was built and a grave yard inclosed. It is now in the farm of James Shephard. In 1836, when Owen Owens became the purchaser of the farm, the logs of the church were still there, about three or four high. The burial-ground contains many graves, aud among them were the families of Armstrong, Lyons, Minchart, Steel, Rittenhouse, Gemmel and others. The church was in use many years.


William P. Elliott says that the Rev. Mat- thew Stephens used to preach in this log church, and in the loft of the still-house on Archibald Moore's farm, now owned by Win. A. Moore, in Oliver township.


The Rev. Matthew Stephens settled in what is now Bratton township before 1780, where he owned one hundred and twenty-five aeres of land adjoining the farm of James Crisswell, the elder, an unele of Judge James Criswell. He was one of the ministers present at the organi- ation of the Huntingdon Presbytery, in April, 1795, and at this time was not an installed pastor, but held a call from the Upper and Centre congre- gations in Wayne township, which he had accept- ed. He requested permission to return the call at Presbytery meeting October 6, 1795, hich was granted, and in 1797 he accepted a call from Shaver's Creek congregation, and soon after moved to that place, where he remained many years and died in 1825. This old church and society are not mentioned in the history of Huntingdon Presbytery, and was a small and weak congregation, and npon the removal of Mr. Stephens was probably not again supplied, and the old church went into ruin.


Abont 1826 the Methodist circuit preachers began traveling through this section and preached at the school-house on the old Steel farm; among them were the Rev. Dr. Mitchell, now of Williamsport, and the Revs. Joseph A. Ross, Tobias Riley, John Bowen and Samuel P. Lilley ; they also preached soon after at Lockport, where was built the Ebenezer Church, the first in this section, and which was used by the people in this section umtil 1882, when the Wesley Chapel, a neat and commodions frame building, was erected near the Granville Station. It is still supplied by cirenit preachers.


The oldest church in Granville township is a Presbyterian Church located near Strode's Mills. It was built in 1818, the ground being purchased from Joseph Strode, Sr. Rev. James Woods, D.D., of Lewistown, was its first pastor. He served the congregation several years previous to the erection of the church and continued to preach for them up to his death, which occurred in Ime, 1862. It is now sup- plied from Lewistown.


GRUBER CHAPEL, located on the south side of Juniata River, on land purchased from Jolm Keys and wife, was built under the pastorate of Win. R. Mills in 1853. It continued to be used until the fall of 1881. The village of Granville having grown up, the body of the congregation was at or near the railroad station, and felt that the church should be nearer the body of the community. A movement was inaugurated for the purpose of selecting a site and taking measures for the erection of a new church. The site of the present church was se- lected and a sale of the old one was almost com- pleted when, on the afternoon of December 20, 1881, it was set on fire and burned with all its contents. Measures were at once taken to push the erection of the present church. A com- mittee, consisting of W. L. Owens, S. HI. Me- Coy and John Potter, was appointed to super- intend the building. The ground was donated by Mrs. Anna C. Brought. The foundation was dug and the wall built by voluntary labor by the citizens. The church was let by contract to F. D. Beyer, of Tyrone, and was dedicated July 23, 1882. It is a neat frame structure of Gothic architecture, thirty by fifty, with a wing on either side, nine hy sixteen, used for class aud library-rooms,

CHAPTER XVI. DECATUR TOWNSHIP !!


THE territory was part of Derry township from 1767 to 1812, and in Angust of the latter year a petition was presented to the Court of Quarter Sessions of Mifflin Co., asking that the township of Derry be divided. In accordance with this petition, commissioners were appointed, who proceeded to business and made their re- poit at the January term of court, 1813, stating that in their opinion a division was necessary, and presenting the following boundaries ;


" They therefore submit to the Honorable Conrt the within Plot or Draft of Derry and the part of Beaver Dam township lately annexed to it, and the division line which they have made and caused to be marked on the ground ; the said line Beginning at the North Boundary of Derry township, in Jack's Moun- tain, and running South 25° cast five and a half miles to the South Boundary of the said township in the Shade Mountain, and they further beg leave to repre- sent that by the said line the said township is equally divided, and the consideration has been paid to the local interest of said township in said division."


The court approved, confirmed and ordered " that the new township laid off be called Deca- tur township."


It will be noticed that a part of Beaver Dam township (later called Beaver) was annexed to Derry township and became by this action a part of Decatur. In the erection of Union County, later in the same year (1813), the terri- tory became a part of that county, and on the 16th of March, 1819, was reannexed to Mitllin County and Decatur township, the line begin- ning at the southeast corner of Centre County, on the top of Jack's Mountain, and running southerly to the original division line between Union and Milliin Counties.


An examination of the early assessment roll- of Derry township will show the names of the carly settlers in the township of which this was then a part.
