OTHER EARLY SETTLERS
The next settler in Perry was Archibald Iladden. He came from Westmoreland county, Pa., in 1810, and settled near Mr. John Bell. In 1812 Hugh McKee, a soldier of the war of 1812, settled near Perrysville. John

JEFFERSON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
Postlethwait came in 1818, Reuben Hickox in 1822.
Reuben Hickox's hunting exploits alone would make a book. In three days he caught six bears, and in the early part of the season, in less than three months, secured over fifty of the "bruin" family. He trapped and hunted principally for bears and wolves. Wildcats were numerous, and often got into his traps, but he cared naught for them, as their fur was valueless, the skins bringing in the market only ten cents apiece. As for the deer, they formed the major portion of his bill of fare. Turkeys, wild ducks, etc., were numerous, and when- ever he had a desire for fowl his trusty rifle would soon secure an amount far in excess of the wants of his family.
In 1823 David Postlethwait, then living in Perry township, found a rattlesnake den about a mile from his cabin, in what is now Porter township, and killed forty or fifty of the rep- tiles. In 1824 he, Nathaniel Postlethwait, and James Stewart killed, in two hours, three hun- (red snakes at this den. John Gohcen now owns ( 1901) this snake farm. It is in Jeffer- son county.
Other carly settlers in Perry were William Johnston, Benjamin McBride, William Stew- art, Isaac Lewis, Samuel Newcomb and Thomas S. Mitchell.
The pioneer church was built in 1835, at Perry ; the pioneer schoolhouse in 1820, in what is now Perrysville. The pioncer sawmill was built by Elijah Heath, above the Round Bottom. The pioneer hotel in Perrysville was kept by Irvin Robinson, and the pioneer store was opened by Alva Payne. The pioneer graveyard was located where Perry church was built, and Robert Stunkard was the first to be buried there.
Among the pioneer and early settlers along Little Sandy creek, in Perry township, were Andrew Shaffer, David Milliron and Mr. Van- lear. Daniel Geist erected his cabin there in 1834, and founded Geistown, now called Worthville. Ile built a gristmill in 1840. Henry Frease located also near where the town of Ringgold now stands, and erected a gristmill about 1840. John Philliber, Ludwick Byerly, Henry Nulf, Conrad Nulf, Solomon Gearhart, George Reitz and Michael Heterick all erected cabins on farms in the early thirties. Thomas Holt, a veteran of the war of 1812, settled there in 1837. Samuel Lerch, a car- penter and cabinetmaker, erected his cabin near Ringgold in 1836. Farther up the stream from Geistown, near where the Indiana and Brookville road now crosses, William Hadden settled in 1831, and, being a great hunter,
killed annually many turkeys, bears and deer. George and William Newcomb erected cabins in 1825. John Jones in 1826, Peter Depp in 1828, Alexander and William McKinstrey in 1833, Joseph Manners in 1835. James Gray, in 1836, opened a small store near McKin- strey's. He was postmaster for Cool Spring. In 1833 Frederick Sprankle erected a grist- mill near the junction of Big run and Kellar's run. Adam Dobson located his cabin in 1833, John and William Coulter in 1841, and Samuel Burket in 1842.
FIRST ELECTIONS
.At the pioneer clection, held at Bell's on Friday, March 20, 1818, the following were contestants for the township offices: "Con- stables, David Hamilton, five votes; Jacob Hoover, three votes ; supervisors, John Bell, five votes ; Hugh McKee, five votes ; auditors, Archibald Hadden, five votes; Jesse Arm- strong. five votes; James McClennen, five votes; Michael Lance, five votes; fence ap- praisers, Joseph Crossman, five votes; Adam Long, five votes ; overseers, Henry Lott, five votes ; Elijah Dykes, five votes." Signed by Archibald Hadden, Hugh McKee, judges.
At the next election the voters had increased to eight, and at the last election before Young township was formed the number of voters appears to have been seventy-seven. At this election in 1825 "schoolmen" appear to have been voted for. John W. Jenks, Charles C. Gaskill and John Bell being elected. This is the only record of any such office in the clec- tion returns of the county from 1807 to 1830. These elections were held at the house of John Bell, and in the first ten years he was eight times elected to office, being supervisor, anditor, overscer of the poor and schoolman.
Thomas Gourley was township assessor in 1837.
The following document shows the peculiar- ity of the agreements made those days between the school directors and teacher : "Agree- ment made this 21st day of Nov. 1836, be- tween the school directors of Perry township and James M. Morris. Ist. The said direc- tors agree to employ said J. M. Morris to teach school in the schoolhouse near A. Gib- son's for the term of three months, from the 28th of November, 1836, and to pay him therefor the sum of forty-two dollars, when collected. 2d. The said Jas. M. Morris agrees to teach the scholars in said school orthography, reading, writing and arithmetic and to keep good rules in the school house and as far as opportunity offers to set them good

examples and to teach them good morals and to adopt such rules in his school as the direc- tors may from time to time suggest. Witness our hand and seals the day above written. ANDREW GIBSON, THOMAS WILLIAMS, WM. STUNKARD, schooldirectors."
PRESENT OFFICIALS
At the election of November 2, 1915, D. M. Brosius, of Frostburg, and Robert Hamilton, of Hamilton, were chosen school directors ; Henry Crosman, of Valier, supervisor ; James R. Boyer, of Valier, constable.

Means, manufacturer of buggies, wagons and hacks, horseshoeing and general smithing ; Rev. J. I. Means, pastor of Cumberland Pres- byterian Church; N. J. Postlewait, farmer; J. S. Weaver, farmer ; William Means, farmer.
There has long been a post office at the vil- lage of Frostburg, located in Perry township. Among its prominent residents in 1878 were: Rev. D. A. Cooper, Cumberland Presbyterian minister and principal of the high school; S. B. Williams, farmer and lumberman; and C. R. B. Morris.
Valier, Fordham, Hamilton and Grange are villages in this township-all have post offices except Fordham.

FORMATION AND POPULATION
Named after John Young, then our judge, Young township was organized in 1826, and was taken from Perry. It was bounded on the east by the Clearfield county line, on the south by the Indiana county line, on the west by Perry township, and on the north by Pinecreek township. It originally included Punxsutawney and Clayville boroughs.
Population in 1840, 1,321; 1850, 1,891; 1860, 776; 1870, 954: 1880, 909 ; 1890, 4.557; 1900, 5,669 : 1910, 4.994.
EARLY SETTLERS AND MILLS
Abraham Weaver was the pioneer settler in Young township. In 1818 Dr. John W. Jenks, Rev. David Barclay and Nathaniel Tindle came to what is now Young township, prospecting for a future home, and they were so well pleased that in the spring of 1819 they returned with their families and settled where Punxsutawney now stands. Phineas W. Jenks was the first white child born there. Rev. Mr. Barclay and Dr. Jenks donated and laid out the ground for the present cemetery.
John B. Henderson and John Hess came in
1821, Joseph Long in 1824, James St. Clair in 1831, William and Robert Campbell and John Dunn in 1832, Obed Morris in 1824, Daniel Graffius in 1823.
Among the early settlers of Young town- ship east of Punxsutawney, on the Mahoning stream, were Jesse Armstrong and John Grube i11 1833, Daniel Smeyers in 1839, Abraham Rudolph in 1833, Jacob Bowersock, and Dan- iel Graffitis. John Hless built a sawmill in 1828. James H. Bell settled on this stream in 1831, built a gristmill in 1833, and opened a store in 1840. James McCracken erected his cabin near Bell in 1839, building sawmills and farming ; Mr. McCracken was an active, pop- ular man. John Pifer erected his cabin in what is now known as Paradise in 1829.
The pioneer church in the Pifer settlement was built in 1840. Other early settlers to erect cabins on farms north of the Mahoning in 1830 were John Smith, John Deemer, Wil- liam Best, Samuel McGhee, and others. Joseph and Daniel North erected cabins in the early thirties.
The pioneer sawmill was built on Big Run by William Best in 1830.

MILITARY COMPANY
The pioneer military company was organ- ized in the thirties. William Long was captain in 1840. The company was attached to the Third Battalion, Second Brigade, Fifteenth Division, Pennsylvania Militia.
THE MAHONING NAVIGATION COMPANY
This company was incorporated first by act of the General Assembly. July 31. 1845. for the purpose of controlling navigation on Ma- honing creek, and some stock subscribed and some payments made on it. But there is no record under this act of incorporation of any organization, which was not effected until the act of Assembly of August 10. 1858.
EARLY ELECTIONS
The pioneer election held for the township of Young after it was separated from Perry,
as the returns appear in the office of the pro- thonotary at Indiana, are as follows :
"Young township return for 1826: Con- stable, Joseph Long had 32 votes, John Hum JI votes. Signed PHILIP BOWERS, judge, etc."
The towns of W'alston and Horatio, and the village of Adrian, are located in this town- ship. All but Adrian have post offices. There is also a post office at De Lancey.
PUNXSUTAWNEY
The official name is now "greater Punxsu- tawney borough." It is situated on a branch of Mahoning creek, about twenty-one miles southeast from Brookville.
According to more or less reliable tradition, Punxsutawney was an Indian village before the advent of the white man in America. Here the red men of the Delaware tribe planted corn along the banks of Mahoning creek and Iminted deer among the magnificent forests of white pine. The name Punxsutawney signi- fies "sand fly place," the Indian word for sand fly being "ponki." During the latter part of the eighteenth century Moravian missionaries labored earnestly and successfully among the Delaware tribes of the Algonquin Indians, and in 1772 Brother Ettewein, with a few zealous
423
JEFFERSON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
companions, journeyed through western Penn- sylvania. He kept a faithful record of his travels and adventures, and his diary con- tains the first authentie reference by a white man to the locality known as Punxsutawney.
A page from Brother Ettewein's diary, de- scribing his journey along Mahoning ereek, then known by the Indian name of Mohul- bucteetam, or "place where canoes are aban- doned." read as follows :
"Sunday, July 19, 1772 .- As yesterday, but two families kept with me; we had a quiet Sunday, but enough to do drying our effects. In the evening all joined me, but we could hold no services as the ponkis were so exces- sively annoying that the cattle pressed toward and into our camp to escape their persecutions in the smoke of the fires. This vermin is a plague to man and beast, both by day and by night. But in the swamp through which we are now passing their name is legion. Hence the Indians called it Ponksutenink, i. e., 'the town of the ponkis.' The word is equivalent to living dust and ashes, the vermin being so small as not to be seen. and their bite being hot as sparks of fire or hot ashes. The breth- ren here related an Indian myth to wit: That the aforecited Indian hermit and sorcerer, after having been for so many years a terror to all Indians, had been killed by one who had burned his bones, but the ashes he blew into the swamp, and they became living things, and hence the ponkis."
Punxsutawney is situated in Young town- ship. Young was quite large, embracing the entire southeastern corner of the county. It was named in honor of Judge Young, at that time president judge of the Westmoreland Judicial district. The honor of having been the first white man to brave the hardships and dangers of pioneer life within the borders of what is now known as Young township be- longs to Samuel States, who made an opening in the dense pine forest about two miles south- west of Punxsutawney. on the farm now owned by Robert F. Law. and proceeded to carve out a fortune for himself and wife. Mr. States made his advent here in 1808, and in 1800 a son was born to him whose name was called Matthew, and who therefore enjoys the distinction of being the first white child born in this community.
CLAYVILLE
The first white man to seek a forest home within the present borough limits was Jacob Hoover, who possessed himself of the lands which afterwards became the borough of Clay-
ville, now a part of Punxsutawney on the west. He was born in Hagerstown, Md., in 1793, and spent his early days in Baltimore. In 1815 he came to the Mahoning valley, and purchased land of the Holland Land Com- pany. His land extended as far east as the residence of Captain Hastings, in Punxsu- tawney. He pitched his tent beside the well- known Gillespie spring. Tradition informs us that shortly afterwards, Patrick Brady, Adam Kelly and Harry Hunter, three pioneer hunt- ers, attracted by the light of Mr. Hoover's campfire, visited him and enjoyed his hos- pitality. They feasted that night on the flesh of a hear that one of them had shot. Jacob Hoover originally owned all the land as far east as the present residence of Davis W. Goheen, in Punxsutawney. He built his log cabin a little east of the Gillespie mill, and then proceeded to build a story and a half log gristmill eighteen by twenty-five, in which he used burrs of native stone. He afterwards erected a frame gristmill forty by forty, three stories high, with a carding-machine in the upper story, on the present site of the Gillespie flouring mill. The old mill became the wheel- house, and there were two sets of burrs in use. He then built a sawmill, on Sawmill run, between his cabin and gristmill. This stream empties into the Mahoning nearby. In 1840 he built a foundry, the first in the county, in Clayville, and in 1852 erected a large steam mill. His foundry was the nucleus of the Star Iron Works at Punxsutawney, now owned by G. W. Porter & Sons.
For a long time after he settled at Clay- ville Mr. Hoover "kept bachelor's hall," his lonely cabin life being enlivened occasionally by visits from his younger sister, Naney. In 1820 he married Nancy A., daughter of Wil- liam and Jane Young, old residents of Arm- strong (now Clarion) county. Mr. Hoover led a busy life, farming, lumbering and over- seeing his mills. He was one of the best and most enterprising of the early settlers, and an earnest Christian, being one of the early Methodists of the county. He died in 1853. and his wife in 1851.
Clayville was made a borough in 1864. In 1870, the population was 189, and the census of 1880 gives 248; 1890, 1,402; 1900, 2,37I. On March 7. 1907, the boroughs of Punxsu- tawney and Clayville were consolidated. The number of taxables in 1870 was 47; 1880, 85; in 1886, 142.
The original site of Punxsutawney, con- taining 327 aeres. 148 perches, was purchased from the Hall and Laird Company by Samuel

-
Findley in 1795, and was sold by his executors, John and William Findley, to Rev. David Bar- clay, a Presbyterian minister, by deed dated June 10, 1819, although the bargain had been made a year before. By deed of September 25, 1822, David Barclay conveyed one third of the land to Dr. John W. Jenks, his son-in-law, who came here with him from Bucks county, Pa., in 1818. They then returned east for their families and were accompanied on their return to the wilderness by Nathaniel Tindle and family, Elijah Heath, Johnson Bailes, and Daniel Graffius, a millwright. Charles C. Gas- kill and James E. Cooper came here about the same time.
Other early settlers were J. B. Henderson, John Hess. William Campbell. Thomas Mc- Kee, John R. Reece, Ephraim Bear, William Davis. George R. Slaysman, John Drum and James St. Clair.
In September, 1818, Dr. Jenks built a log house on the corner of Penn street and Farm- ers alley (later known as the old Dr. Jenks farmhouse), on the lot now occupied by the dwelling of Russell Martin, which was the first house built in Punxsutawney, and here, on September 2, 1819, a son was born to Dr. and Mrs. Jenks, who was christened Phineas W. ; he was the first white child born in Punx- sutawney, and its first law student, in 1852-54. Cornelia Gaskill was the first girl born in Punxsutawney.
In October. 1818. David Barclay built a log house on the corner of Front and Mahon- ing streets, where the steam laundry now stands, which was the second building erected here. In 1820 Dr. Jenks built a gristmill near the mouth of Elk run, and later a sawmill and tannery. He afterwards erected a commo- dious dwelling on the spacious grounds now occupied by the residence of Dr. C. W. Hughes.
Dr. Jenks was a man of many talents as well as of great energy. He and his accom- plished wife were both college graduates. He graduated from Pennsylvania University in 1816. "Dr. Jenks," says Kate M. Scott's His- tory of Jefferson county, "kept open house all those early years of his residence in Punxsu- tawney. Travelers from far and near made his house their stopping place. His hospitality was dispensed liberally, and without any com- pensation, and it was owing to this hospitality that he did not become a rich man. It was said of him that while his house was the best patronized in the county in those days, the only difference between it and the hotels was that the Jenks house had no license and made no charges."
It being the purpose of Dr. Jenks and Rev. David Barclay to build a town here, the site was regularly laid out into streets and alleys in 1820. The entire population of the county was then only five hundred and sixty-one. The townsite was duly recorded (in Indi- ana county) December 21, 1821, Mr. Bar- clay owning two-thirds and Dr. Jenks one- third. The prospective town then consisted of eight squares, including the public square, two hundred and twelve by three hundred and twenty feet, which was donated to the public by the owners by deed dated September 25, 1822. For nearly three quarters of a century this square was an unsightly common, which served as a pasture lot for the ubiquitous town cow, a circus and baseball ground, a place for political meetings and a rendezvous for patent medicine fakers. In 1900 E. N. Wehrle and others undertook to beautify the town park by public subscription, and were making some progress when, in 1901, William H. Rogers, the leading spirit of the Punxsutawney Iron Company, employed a competent landscape gardener, and by the fall of 1902 had trans- formed the old Public Square into a beautiful park.
The original town site included the section from Front street to Findley street, and from Farmers alley to Liberty street. The lots were fifty-three by one hundred and fifty feet, and were numbered from one to seventy-six. No. 1. corner of Front street and Farmers alley, is now occupied by Wetzel's livery stable, and lot No. 76, on the corner of Findley and Liberty streets, now owned by A. J. Truitt, Esq., has remained vacant to this day. Lot No. 5. on the corner of Front and Mahoning streets, was occupied by Thomas McKee, and was then the principal corner.
The two squares between Findley and Gil- pin streets, north to Torrence street, and south to Union street, were purchased by James Tor- rence in 1832 for seventy-five dollars. On the square south of Mahoning street he erected a dwelling and tannery, which he conducted successfully for many years.
William E. Gillespie, one of the pioneer citizens, purchased the square north of Mahon- ing street, from Gilpin to Church street, and from Mahoning to Pine street. about 1840, and sold town lots from it.
The square on the opposite side of what is now known as Bair's corner, from the Wins- low block to Church street. and down Gilpin to Indiana, was purchased about 1832 by John Hunt for a consideration of one hundred and ninety dollars. He had it cut up into town lots, and it was known as "Hunt's Addition."

JEFFERSON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
Although Punxsutawney is the oldest settle- ment in this part of Pennsylvania, having re- ceived its name from the Indians more than two centuries ago, its history as a white man's town begins about 1821. For many years its progress was slow. It was not organized into a borough until 1850.
The first schoolhouse for the locality was built about 1823. The first church, built in 1826, was of hewed logs. It was erected by the Presbyterians.
In 1832 the town contained fifteen dwell- ings, two taverns, one church, one school- house, Barclay & Jenks store, and one doctor.
