In May of 1837 preacher Mitchell became the first minister of any denomination to establish residence in Beech Creek. In April, 1839, shortly after the death of Mrs. Mitchell's mother, the family moved to Howard to occupy the Packer homestead, this being the birthplace of Mrs. Mitchell. While living in Beech Creek Mr. Mitchell taught school. for one term. William M. Bauman, who lives in the Lamar area, is a great, great grandson of Nathan J. Mitchell. By his own story, recounted with the aid of a well-kept diary, and published in 1877, Mr. Mitchell acknowledged that his congregation was preceded in Beech Creek by the Methodists. Therefore the Methodists were first organized some time before the summer of 1832 and not in 1833 as sometimes recorded. In 1834 the Methodists erected the first church building in the township. Their one-room, pine-log structure, located northwest of town, just outside the present borough limits, was later shared with the Presbyterians. Early Methodist circuit riders who preached in this building included Timothy Lee, Fern Brown, James Hunter, James Sanks, Switzer Paulsgrove, John Anderson, Abram Britten, J.S. Mc- Murray and Messrs. Gutwald, MacClay and Ball.

Presbyterian Church.


In 1868 the Methodists constructed on Harrison Street a large two- story, brick edifice with bell tower and bell. The bricks were made by Mexican-born Francisco "Frank" Wallace at his kiln on Sugar Run, just north of town, not on the west side of Beech Creek stream as oc- casionally reported. This building has been used steadily to this day and gives promise of serving for many years to come. In 1926 a kitchen, with space beneath for central heating equipment, was added to the rear of the church. Since that time a number of interior improvements have been made including the installation in 1957 of a pipe organ, which, since that time, has been melodiously responding to the skillful hands of organist, Joseph M. DeHaas, son of Morton and Chrissie (Linn) DeHaas.


From 1873 to 1883 Beech Creek was headquarters for a Methodist charge that included Mill Hall, Flemington and Laurel Run. The par- sonage was located on Vesper Street across the street from the present school building. One of the occupants of the parsonage was Rev. Theodore S. Faus, who had married Martha Williams of Laurel Run, daughter of John and Mary (Hoy) Poorman Williams. At that time the trustees were John Ligget, Samuel Hall, William Trexler, Daniel Lose, J. D. Engles, Abner McCloskey and George W. Wensel. During the long period of its existence the present church building served for the follow- ing ministers, some of whom represented the Mill Hall charge, some

Methodist Church.

As indicated previously the Presbyterians first used the Methodists' building. In 1865 the Presbyterians purchased a plot of land on Main Street and soon afterward began the construction of the Beech Creek Memorial Presbyterian Church. The first major improvement to the building was the addition of a belfry and bell in the early 1920's. During the latter part of the twenties a kitchen and dining room, with space beneath for a heating boiler, were added. The next major improvement was a new Hammond organ. Having been constructed almost simultaneously, this church, the Methodist Church and the Church of Christ at Blanchard are of very similar design. Then too, each of the various major improvements at these three churches were scheduled at nearly the same time. Since 1857 the pastors, usually shared with the sister church in Mill Hall, have been:

In addition to the above the local congregation was also served by pastors Van Sickle, Bunsteen and Hawthorne. During the 1950's Rev. J. W. Dean served as supply minister.


The Wesleyan Church, formerly the Pilgrim Holiness Church, is the newest of the community's congregations. Church services were held at various places, including private homes, public buildings and vacant houses until about the 1920's. At that time a dwelling on Maple Avenue was converted to serve as both a place of worship and a parsonage. In the early 1930's an attractive frame church facing Main Street was con-


14


structed on church property, after which the former church building was reconverted to provide a full two-story parsonage building. The re- cent application of aluminum siding to the church building guarantees continued attractiveness and a minimum of maintenance.


The following list is the best obtainable record of the ministers who served this congregation on a regular or temporary basis: Liden Adams, Floyd Baker, William C. Bloom, Ralph Davie, Robert Detmer, Philip Doyle, Mr. Gangaware, Russell Gardner, Philip Gazal, Norman L. Handy, Robert Heckert, Harley B. Hoffman, Mr. McCarthy, Edwin Mayes, William Merrill, Ronald Murphy, Mr. Philips, J. C. Sherwood, Fred Strawser, Harold Tallman, William Welch.

Cemeteries


The question of which is our oldest cemetery has not been resolved. In contention for the distinction are two vastly different appearing burial grounds. One is the David Cemetery in Beech Creek Township on the hard-surfaced road leading northwesterly from Sugar Run. No burials have been made there for many, many years, and the plot has been allowed to descend to a deplorable state. It is overrun with trees and underbush to the extent that a passerby, only a few feet distant, is unable to see the markers. This is partly because most of them are lying on the ground. This cemetery was started by the pioneering David family, and without doubt contains the remains of Daniel David, the


15


Revolutionary War soldier. Efforts to locate a newspaper story of some seventy years ago, in which the burials at this cemetery were listed, have not been successful, but will be continued. In addition to Davids and their descendants some of the Liggets are buried here.


The other contender is the Hays-Fearon Cemetery, which, if not the oldest, does have the distinction of being our best-kept cemetery. It was started by the Hays and Fearon families, who had settled close by and began farming before 1800. This cemetery was also allowed to deteriorate for a number of years for the same reason that affected the David Cemetery. Too few of the kin of the early burials were living in the area. Fortunately, however, the thoughtfulness and diligence of J. Aaron Haugh, along with the assistance of others such as George F. Hess, affected a restoration project that turned this plot from one of disgrace to one of beauty. Burials include Lt. James Hays, a Revolutionary soldier, his wife, Sarah (Brown) Hays, and other members of the early Hays and Fearon families, some of whose graves have no marker. Also buried here are two additional Revolutionary War soldiers, Lt. John Philip DeHaas and Gideon Smith. Of the marked graves at Hays-Fearon a total of twenty-two bear the name Rupert. Next in line is the family surname of Linn, followed by Gummo, DeHaas, Johnson, Hall and Ligget, in this order. Others are of eleven or fewer burials.


.


The Clark Cemetery on the hill overlooking the town is half in the borough and half in the township. The borough-township boundary crossing diagonally from its southeast corner to its northwest corner, creates an invisible and generally unknown division of this plot into two triangular sections, one in each political subdivision. According to the best authority the land was donated by the Clark family at the time of the death of William Clark in 1851. His wife, Sarah (Hays) Clark, died two years later. For many years afterward all the lots were properly cared for. However, its condition is immensely different today. Some of the lots are well cared for, while others are totally neglected. It has been widely suggested that the organization of an association would solve the problem. Perhaps these words may spur someone into action. Michael Quigley (1778-1858), who is frequently mentioned in this story, and his wife, Mary (Clark) Quigley (1792-1864) are buried here. The greatest number of marked graves is shared by the Linn and Mann families with fourteen each. Then come the names McCloskey, Mapes, Rupert, Clark, Cottle, Heverly, and Lindsey, with eight or more of each.


Old newspaper accounts reveal that some time prior to 1920 an as- sociation had been formed to assure continued maintenance of the Clark Cemetery. During that year the following were serving as officers


16


of the association: Charles E. "Dix" Bullock, the blacksmith; Joseph Shuttleworth, whose wife, Dora, was a niece of Mr. Bullock; Frank Mann, the son of Harvey and Clara (McCloskey) Mann, and the hus- band of Anna (Dickey) Mann; W. Quigley Clark, whose wife, Emma, was a daughter of James and Catharine (Rose) Gardner; Charles Lindsey, the son of Hezekiah and Mary (Bullock) Lindsey; and George Rupert, the son of Barnard and Elizabeth (Hannon) Rupert, and the husband of Ella (McCarthy) Rupert. It is currently reported that the mishandling of finances within the organization caused its disband- ment several years later.


In late 1977, at the request of the authors of this story, our county sponsored a government CETA project to do clean-up work at the David Cemetery. This followed similar action at the Clark Cemetery, which had been requested by borough officials. The latter cemetery, it should be repeated, is half in the borough and half in the township. Brush cutting, as was performed at both places, is only a temporary improvement at best. For the long term both cemeteries need grubbing, leveling, sowing of grass seed and regular care.


A very large number of Beech Creek area people are buried at the Blanchard Baptist Cemetery and the Blanchard Church of Christ Cemetery. This is mainly because the membership of these two churches has always included many of our residents. It should be pointed out that the burials at the small dilapidated Nestlerode Cemetery in Liberty Township represent ancestors of a wide percent- age of our Beech Creek area residents.

Chapter III


Schools


Early schools were of the one-room type, generally placed in locations convenient to the greatest number of pupils. The building was usually erected in the corner of a farmer's field, on a plot that had been donated or sold cheaply. If a deed was actually prepared it was seldom recorded, and was usually lost or misplaced over the years. This arrangement gave the particular farmer a number of advantages. His own children would have only a short distance to walk to school; he could board the teacher and the teacher could tutor his children. In addition, the school was given the name of the farmer, which provided some prestige, and, if ever closed, there was the possibility of the land, including the building, reverting to his ownership.


The first school in the township was located just east of town, It was erected in 1810 on Fearon property and, in all likelihood, was called the Fearon school. It was this school where Buckham "Buck" Claflin taught for several years. He is best remembered as the father of Vic- toria (Claflin) Woodhull-Martin, a one-time candidate for president of the United States on the Women's Rights ticket. The second school was built about the year 1820 along Beech Creek stream, about one mile above the present borough limits. The third school, built about 1840, east of town on land of Robert Fearon, replaced the first school. The fourth school was built just above Beech Creek, and, in all probability replaced the second school. In 1882 Beech Creek Township had seven rural schools. They were: (1) Haagen, located on the main highway east of town; (2) Masden, on the Masden Hollow road, which leads from the same highway at a point farther east; (3) Bitner, farther north at the foot of the mountain; (4) Hubbard, on the road then leading mainly to Marsh Creek, now to Monument and Orviston; (5) Quay, on the hill directly north of Maidsville; (6) Sugar Run, on the Sugar Run road about a mile from town; and (7) Mountain, along the Bald Eagle Valley Railroad, on the mountain road leading to Mill Hall.


The first school within the limits of what is now Beech Creek borough was built in 1856 on Main Street on land purchased from Austin


18


Leonard. In 1867 a two-story, four-room school was erected on the northwest corner of Harrison and Fairview Streets. This school was replaced in 1904 by the large brick structure on Vesper Street and a two-year high school course was inaugurated, with the first graduates receiving their diplomas in 1909. The high school had been designed to serve students from both the borough and the township. In 1914 a three-year course was adopted, resulting in no graduations that year.


As the years went by more and more local graduates enrolled elsewhere, at their own expense for transportation or board, in order to gain a four-year diploma. Most attended Lock Haven High School,

where two additional years of study were required in spite of each hav- ing the minimum graduation credits after just one year. Those going elsewhere were graduated after one additional year. At the same time graduates of two-year high schools in the area were graduated at Lock Haven after a total of just four years. In 1930 our school board, realizing the unfairness involved, awarded diplomas to our potential 1931 graduates along with the 1930 class and reduced our high school to a two-year course. Following the graduation of the class of 1946 our high school was closed. Several years later, with the borough and township as part of the Bald Eagle-Nittany jointure, the elementary school was

reduced from eight grades to six. Consolidation of borough and township elementary grades required additional space. At that time a modern annex was attached to the rear of the old brick building, which is still in apparent good condition.


In the early 1860's Pulaski F. Hyatt, who represented the seventh generation of the Hyatt family in America, taught four terms at the Bitner School and boarded with the Abraham Bitner family. He later received degrees in pharmacy, dentistry and medicine. On June 8, 1893 President Grover Cleveland appointed Dr. Hyatt to be U. S. diplomat to Cuba, a position he held with distinction throughout the insurrection that followed. Dr. Hyatt, according to authorities, was a direct descen- dant of Brig. Gen. Casimir Pulaski of Revolutionary War fame. In all likelihood he was a close relative, possibly a brother, of Rev. L. B.

Hyatt, who preached at the Blanchard Church of Christ in the 1860s.


In previous writings the authors of this history have mentioned the Pennsylvania school law, passed on April 4, 1809, which required each assessor to annually list "all children between the ages of 5 and 12, whose parents are unable to pay for their schooling." Their tuition fee, usually amounting to about three cents per day, plus the cost of books, paper, etc., were borne by the taxpayers. It is written that each such child was conspicuously identified by the wealthier students, a condi- tion that sometimes put the parents, as well as the children in a humiliating position. Many poor parents, therefore, preferred to raise their children uneducated. The 1809 school act, declared by some to contain more philanthropy than wisdom, was replaced in 1834 and 1835 by legislation to provide free education for all, with no distinction between rich and poor. Controversial as it may have been, it nevertheless, seems certain that the act of 1809 provided many poor children with a basic training that led to notable careers. Legislation requiring school districts to provide pupils the free use of textbooks was not forthcoming until near the end of the century.


In addition to Buckham Claflin and Rev. N. J. Mitchell; the follow- ing have been identified as early schoolmasters: John Philip DeHaas (III), who had a long tenure and Joseph Ranken, Abraham Row, Thomas Price and Alexander Fargus, about whom very little more is known.


A compilation has been made of the graduating classes of Beech Creek High School from the very first to the last. It is observed that of the unusually large class of 1925 only one member now lives in our area. In contrast, two members, or one half of the class of 1918 still reside here. Of the twenty-seven 1930 graduates not one now lives within our area. The lists of graduates for 1932, 1934 and 1942 cannot be verified as complete and correct. Official school records have been lost or destroyed. Of the fourteen members of these three small classes who were personally approached, not one could positively identify all his fellow graduates. It is added, rather sadly, that few, if any, were suf- ficiently interested to aid in the research. It is only fitting to pay tribute, at this point, to Florence McGhee, daughter of Oscar and Jemima (Haagen) McGhee. Florence, a 1910 graduate, named, without any hesitation, the ten members of her class.
