CORYDON TOWNSHIP.

Corydon township occupies the northwest corner of Mckean county. Here Corydon run flows west by north through the northern sections, while the two branches of Sugar run meander everywhere through the southwest and center, and flow together near the west line. whence the main stream rushes down to join the Allegheny river in Warren county, south of Cornplanter's run, which also rises here. On the divide between Willow and Quaker creeks (heads of the Corydon, in the northeast corner), an elevation of 2, 210 feet above tide is recorded; while on the Warren county line, where Sugar run enters the Allegheny valley, the ele- vation is only 1,300 feet. Geologist Asburner, speaking of this section in 1878, states that the number of houses and shanties there could be counted on the fingers, and denied the assertion of local geologists in the matter of coal beds, asserting that never could coal be profitably mined here. He further termed it the "Barren Township," but acknowledged the existence of plateaus, to which he ascribed the general character of those in Lafayette township.

The population of Corydon township in 1880 was 154. In 1888 there were fifty Republican and thirteen Democratic votes recorded, on which total- sixty-three-the population was placed at 315.

The seated tax-payers of Corydon township in 1836-37 were Edwin Adams, James Anderson (a trader), William Brown, John Brown, James L. Baker, Albert and David Cargill, William Care (tavern-keeper), Benjamin Chamber- lain, Chamberlain & Hall (saw-mill owners). Alfred Forbes (merchant), Andrew Flatt, Amos Flatt, R. M. Truman, J. W. Field (tavern-keeper), Seth W. Green, Walter Guy, William Gibbs, Comfort Hamlin, Orrin Hook, John Hasel- tine, Abel Morrison, Rice Morrison, Jacob McCall. Morrison, Stephens & Co. (sawmills), Moses Parmlee, Zelotes Parmlee, Juri Perry, B. H. Pike (trades- man), Amos Patterson (merchant), Abiel Rolfe (tavern-keeper), Walter and George Seaman, Perry Shannon (saw-mill owner), Clark Stearns, F. H. Tracy. Jonathan Thompson, Ben. Tome, Isaac Williams, H. N. Wheeler (store-keeper and saw-mill owner). John Wait (store- keeper) and John E. Woodbeck (trader); A. Foster was the assessor .... Brownell. now of Tionesta, worked in Con- over's saw-mill, at the head of Sugar run, in 1857. This mill was erected in 1854-55, while the mills operated by the Templetons, south of the town- line, were erected much earlier.

Early in 1843 a colony of German Catholics purchased a large tract of land in Warren county, near the east line of MeKean, and established a commercial village, and in 1813 a post-office was existing at Kinzua.

The Corydon well, on Willow creek, one-half mile up stream from the Allegheny, was in existence in 1850.

A NNIN TOWNSHIP, south of Ceres, and north of Liberty, is the home of Annin creek, which rises in the heights north of Annin, and enters the Allegheny river at Turtle point. Two Mile creek rises southeast of Annin, and flowing southwest enters the Allegheny below Port Allegany. Bell run, mentioned in the sketch of Ceres township, rises in the northeast corner; Newell creek flows southwest through the northwest corner, and Rock run parallels Annin creek northwest of the divide. Open Brook flows north through the southwest corner, where it enters the main river, which marks the northeast line of this corner. The high land one mile northwest of Annin is 2,345 feet above tide; two miles southwest an elevation of 2,340 exists, and two and one-half miles due south, near the Port road, a plateau 2,300 feet above tide was measured. In fact an average elevation of 2,200 feet for summits. marks this township, the lowest point being the mouth of Rock run, 1,435 feet. Northwest of the Smethport anticlinal are two small areas of Olean conglomerate, and between Annin and Two Mile creeks two more, but be- yond such evidences of coal, there were no minerals discovered up to 1879.

The population of Annin township in 1880 was 1,089. The vote in 1888 was 109 Republican, 117 Democratic, 10 Prohibitionist and five Labor Union- ist, or 241, multiplied by five, equals 1,205, the estimated population.

The officers of this township elected in February, 1890, are as follows: Justice of the peace, S. R. Jnne; school directors, L. E. Bishop and F. K. Winship for three years, and John J. Cawley for one year; constable, Joseph Mullin; judge of election, H. A. June; inspectors of election, Jerome Robin- son, H. M. Harder; supervisors, J. J. McCarey, James Hooley; auditors, H. M. Harder for one year, Thomas MeGavisk for two years, and Eugene Mc- Carey for three years; collector, L. J. Phenix; town clerk, Lorenzo Hodges.

Turtle Point was the name given to the present village in 1836, when Henry Bryant, an Olean lawyer, erected the large saw mill there. When cleaning out the mill-race the workmen found a large turtle buried deep in the

mud. A few remnants of the old village were to be seen in 1885, although the new village was transferred to the corners nearer the railroad. Bryant invested $11,000 in this milling concern, but the panic coming on swept it away. Later he took Enoch Fobes as partner and James H. Wright as miller. In 1844 S. A. Backus purchased Bryant's interests, leaving the original owner to begin life anew in California.

Newell Creek and neighborhood were settled about fifty years ago. Among the names of old families are John and William Crawley, Ed. McMahon, Tim. Mullin, Murty and Patrick Driscoll, George Oliver, Patrick Masterson, Con. Doyle, John O'Connor, Jerry Riley, Michael McAuliffe, Philip Cooney, Thomas Dunn, Richard and Dennis Delany, Thomas Bizell, W. M. Londrigan, James Harkin.

St. Mary's Church was established here in 1847, and Rev. J. J. Burns was resident priest in 1850, when the old church was erected and dedicated by Bishop O'Connor. Fathers Dean and Galligan were missionary priests in 1847-48, and Father Smith was resident pastor from October, 1848, to June 16, 1850. In 1853 Rev. Coady succeeded Father Burns, who was followed by Father Madigan in September, 1856, and he by Father Murrill in December. 1866. Father P. J. Patterson, V. F., came in September, 1868. In 1869 he commenced the present church building, which was dedicated in February. 1872, by Bishop Mullen. The congregation comprises 150 families. The church at Newell Creek may be said to have absorbed old St. Mary's above Smethport, leaving the southern members alone to the new parish of Smeth- port. The pastor died December 21. 1889. Father Cosgrove is successor of the venerable Father Patterson as pastor of St. Mary's parish, including Port Allegany, Austin, Costello, Duke Centre and other places.

The Annin Creek Humane Society was the name given to a cemetery asso- ciation in June, 1851, of which D. Buckley, I. H. Holcomb, S. Foote, S. D. Cooper, Theron Cooper, J. P. Evans, Jr., Joshua D. Knapp, J. C. Evans, N. B. Foote, Joseph Hodges, C. Graham, J. H. Knapp and J. P. Evans were members.

The Methodist Church was incorporated in September, 1867, on petition of Joseph Merrick, Niles Kinney, C. H. Bessee, G. F. Tubbs, H. M. Harder, M. S. Hadley, S. H. Kinney and A. H. Bessee.

The First Baptist Church was incorporated March 21, 1887, on petition of S. L. Holcomb, Eli B. Buckley, L. H. and F. K. Winship and G. O. Buckley. The First Regular Baptist Church of Turtle Point was incorporated June 3, 1887. The subscribers were Theron Cooper, D. C. Winship, S. L. Hol- comb, Albertus Cooper and Darius Simpson.

CERES TOWNSHIP.

Ceres township occupies the northeast corner of the county. King's run of the Oswayo runs in a general northern course through the center; Bell's run parallels it in the center of the east half; Oswayo creek enters in the northeast corner, flows northwestwardly to Ceres for two and a quarter miles, then crosses the State line, and eventually loses itself in the Allegheny river. The head-waters of Newell creek are found in the southwest, and of Barden creek in the west center. Taylor's run and several smaller streams feed the creeks named. The highest measured elevation is 2,245 feet, one mile southwest of Glenn. at the head of Rock run, and the lowest point, 1, 443. near State Line depot. The divide between King's and Bell's runs shows a general elevation of 2,200 feet, declining to 1,450 south of Ceres. East of Bell's run it ranges from 2,200 feet in north and south extremes to 1,500 in the

227

HISTORY OF MCKEAN COUNTY.

Oswayo valley, while the divide at the head of Barden and Newell creeks pre- sented summits of 2,219 and 2,200. The township is minus coal measures and conglomerate; but the summit caps of Pocono are from 250 to 300 feet thick. Near Russell's house on the Ceres road, at an elevation of 2,075 feet, there was discovered, in 1878, a red limy shale band. In King's run gulch. at Lynch's house, red soil was found at an elevation of 1,675 feet: along Barden run at an elevation of 1,645 feet. as at the old Biggens' place; and toward Ceres, of 1,720 feet, or only thirty feet below the top of the Chemung in that neighborhood. At Bly's house, on Ceres and Turtle Point road, a slightly red soil was seen at an elevation of 1,980 feet, and toward Turtle Point this soil was seen at different elevations; but from Bly's to Ceres, with the exception of one place (Chevalier's farm), the soil as well as sandstone was of the gray variety. About twelve years ago the first oil well was drilled up Bell's brook, N. Y., by Howard & Magee, which was made dry. About four years ago a well was drilled up Carr's brook by Henry Carter, which is a half-barrel well. This is now owned by V. Perry Carter. Two wells have since been drilled for gas by V. P. Carter, representing the Ceres Gas Company, which wells sup- ply the village and neighborhood. The King's run well was bored five or six years ago by a local company.

The population of Ceres in 1880, including the 108 inhabitants of Ceres village, was 975. In 1883 there were 123 Republican, 58 Democratic, 27 Pro- hibition and 47 Labor Unionist votes cast, or a total of 255, which, multiplied by five, gives a population of 1,275.

The officers chosen in February, 1890, are as follows: Supervisors, Win- field Lanphere, James E. Welch; school directors, G. N. Hackett, O. P. Coon; constable, G. W. Hackett; collector, G. W. Hackett; auditor, James Big- gins; justice of the peace, W. W. Holley; judge of election, E. W. Kitchsire; inspectors of election, F. H. Raymond, Barton Holley; town clerk, J. J. Robarts.

Francis King. the agent of John Keating, brought a number of workmen to Ceres in 1798, where King's settlement was founded. Mr. King came from England about that time, and, being a Quaker, his co-religionists in Philadel- phia recommended him to John Keating for the position of agent and surveyor. He was a surveyor, and, like the old-time men of that profession, eccentric, and it is alleged, when clearing the hillside at Ceres, he compelled the imported laborers to roll the logs up hill, and satisfied the ignorant fellows that this course was correct, because the Yankees rolled them down hill. In 1801 he began the survey of the Keating lands, and in 1812 surveyed for the settlers in Farmers valley. Five years later, in 1817, he died, when John Keating continued his son in the agency. His original field book is in possession of Byron D. Hamlin, forming a monument to his precision.

The commission of justice of the peace of Ceres was issued by Gov. Thomas McKean October 4, 1806, to John Claudius Brevost. What the feelings of the old governor must have been when he authorized this pioneer justice "to have and execute all and singular the powers, jurisdictions and authorities and to receive and enjoy all and singular the lawful emoluments of a justice of the peace," may be imagined. Except John Keating's agent and his employes there were no settlers in the township to lead the new justice to hope for emol- ument. In November following Squire Brevost did actually qualify before the Coram, J. G. Lowrey, of Centre county.

Uncle Harry, who came with his father, Thomas Smith, to Ceres in 1803 or 1804, died August 27, 1877. Lester Hargrave was also one of the early employes here. Asahel Wright, a soldier of 1812, resided at Glenn up to

1880, but for twenty-seven years prior to 1872 was never as far as Olean, and never saw a railroad train, although then eighty-three years old. His daugh - ter, L. Ellen Wright, was for years corresponding secretary of Grand Lodge of I. O. G. T. in Pennsylvania. Reuben 'S. Taylor, who settled at Bell's run in 1836, served in the war of 1812. He died in September, 1877, at Ronlette.

The resident tax-payers of Ceres township in 1836-37 were David Axtell (moved to Wisconsin), G. C. Burnham, H. Bowen, A. Brown, William Bards- ley, John C. Brevost, John O. Bradsby, Daniel Bliven, John Bee and Tom Bee* (who operated a saw-mill), Potter Benson (who owned a second saw-mill), Dan Benson, S. A. Barber*, William Bell*, Valentine Bowen, Cyrus and Ira Cooper* (saw-mill owners, on site of Van Wormer's present mill), A. C. Conklin*, William and J. O. Cutter (moved away years ago), Hosea Cappell, William Cobbett (grist-mill owner), H. Chevalier (Frenchman), Peter and Orrin Cook, Asa Canfield, Oscar* and Timothy Carpenter*, Harvey Carr*, Cynthia Camp- bell, Philip Corwin, John Chase*, Levi Davis (tradesman), Jonathan, John and Thomas Drake (Oswayo), Nathan Dennis*, Rev.

Wright, Samuel and John Whipple, N. and I. N. Winans, Marvel Wheelock, Rev. William Weber (Methodist), R .* and Micajah Wright* and Jacob Young* (owner of saw-mill). William Hooker was assessor.

In 1877 the re-survey of the northern State line was made, varying but little from the line of 1786. Ceres village was transferred to Pennsylvania, and in 1878 the boundary stones were placed.

Myrtle, formerly Mapleton Postoffice, was established in 1877, with Silas Cooper as postmaster, who held the office until F. E. Tull was appointed. In 1887 Mr. Tull sold his store to J. C. Burt, who carried on the office of deputy until regularly appointed in August, 1887.

The Myrtle Cheese Factory was established, thirteen or fourteen years ago, by George Chamberlain, his heirs being the present owners. The Hickox Mill. in existence many years, is still in use, east of the village; and at the head of Bell's run is Miller's saw-mill, operated by the Dibble Brothers. Lester Har- grave is said to have been the first resident of this settlement. Like others of the pioneers of Ceres, he was connected with Keating's agency here.

The Oswayo flood of May 31, and June 1, 1889, filled the valley, being about three feet higher than the flood of 1865. Large saw logs were carried over the main street of Ceres, and boats were used for travel; several trestles on the Bradford, Eldred & Cuba Railroad were carried away, and the track torn up. The only dams on the stream which escaped destruction were F. M. Van Wormer's and Pratt & Bixby's. Among the heavier losers by this disaster

were G. C. Hickox. F. M. Van Wormer and the Oswayo Tannery Company; many others along the flood-swept valley met with smaller losses.

CERES VILLAGE.

Late in 1837 Samuel Estes came to Ceres village, where he found a one- half log and one-half plank house standing opposite the present Central Ho- tel. Within a few years (in 1841) he moved south of the creek and erected part of the present Oswayo House, which he conducted until the Western New York & Erie Railroad was built, when he moved to Olean and built a hotel near the depot. In later years he moved to Minnesota, where he died.

In 1838 Nelson Peabody came to the village. He found John Smith's gen- eral store and the Estes tavern. John King kept the post-office where Will- iam K. King now resides; Cooper's old saw-mill, where Franklin Van Worm- er's large mills are now situated, and the Youngs' mill, where is now the Minor mill, were in operation; the Methodists had a class here, which has been con- tinued to the present time. Mr. Peabody was clerk in John Smith's store un- til February, 1840, when V. Perry Carter bought the concern and Mr. Pea- body joined Russell Cooper in business and continued four or five years. V. Perry Carter opened his store after the death of John Smith, whose daugh- ter he married in 1842.

In 1841 the residents of the village grew tired of having to walk one and one-half miles to John King's house for their letters, and had V. Perry Car- ter petition the department for an office in the village. This petition was granted, but Mr. King interested John Keating and others in his cause and had the office returned to him. A little later Mr. Carter had a chart of the locality made and a new petition signed. The demand was manifestly so just that the department ordered the removal of the office to the village, where it has been continued to this day. Mr. King kept the post-office on the table in the family sitting room, and into this each one who expected a letter had to go to seek it.

Josiah Priest, who, in 1850, wrote sketches of the Oswayo valley, was jus- tice of the peace at Ceres. His papers were never published is the statement of Mrs. Keyser, while Mr. Carter is positive that parts or all of the papers ap- peared in print.

Robert Hinds was the only merchant here in 1852. John Robarts was a trader here for a number of years; also Simpson & Barber, C. H. Smith, John B. Gleason, F. H. Raymond and G. Perry. Joseph Morse was postmaster here before the war, succeeding John King, and had the office in his house, which occupied the site of the Central Hotel, afterward the residence of V. Perry Carter until destroyed by the first fire, in 1869. In 1855 or 1856 Mr. Carter returned from Richburg, bought the Hinds store and was appointed postmaster, holding the office until his removal to Duke Centre, in 1879, when he was succeeded by Robarts, who in turn was succeeded by Call. Louis Car- rier was appointed in 1885, but Miss Augusta Call conducted the office for eight years, or until the appointment of John B. Gleason in June, 1889.

When Nelson Peabody arrived there were two school buildings-one south, where is the present school building on the Pennsylvania side, while the building on the New York side occupied the site of Wellington White's pres- ent home. These buildings continued in use until the present house was erected. In Ceres township in 1846 general stores were kept by P. B. Ded rick and Ralph Adams, and the tavern by Samuel Estes. In 1847 Dedrick & Pardy, Samuel Estes and C. Peabody were merchants; J. H. Wright and D. Dunham the new tavern-keepers.

In 1847 the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Ceres was incorporated.

230

HISTORY OF MCKEAN COUNTY.

The oldest record in possession of the pastor shows the names of W. T. Lane, Honeoye; Joel Whitney, Lane school-house; Stephen Chapel, South Bolivar; R. D. Garrison, Pikeville (members joined the Nazarites), and B. C. Call of Ceres; Edward Nicholas and Calvin Blood of Shinglehouse were the class leaders. Later H. B. Robarts is named as leader of the Bell's run class, with Elisha B. West local preacher; A. Mallory was recording steward in 1867, while Mrs. F. G. Fuller is now recorder. The pastoral record goes back only to 1879, when A. B. Kelly was appointed. In 1882 Rev. W. Post and Rev. A. I. Blanchard came, and in 1886 Rev. W. H. Farnham. There are now seventy-nine members.

In 1840 Nelson Peabody was commissioned justice of the peace and held the office until elected associate judge in 1861. He was again commis- sioned and served until six or seven years ago. During the war he was dep- uty provost marshal for Ceres township. Among the soldiers of the district, many of whom belong to Portville Post, No. 85, G. A. R., are the following named: Frank A.
