CHURCH RECORDS R E F O R M E D DUTCH CHURCH OF H Y D E PARK "RELIGIOUS STATISTICS" The oldest Church record book we have for Stoutsburgh, later known as Hyde Park is entitled "Proceedings of the Stoutsburgh Religious Society. By the Clerck of it, Begun 1789". An exact copy of all the important matter contained in the above record book will be found in another part of this History. This Stoutsburgh Religious Society apparently constituted what is known in our day as a Community Church.

The Church was composed of people of different denominations.

Its officers were known as "Trustees". Certain men were appointed election "inspectors." There were three classes of trustees elected—the first class who served one year, the second class who served two years, and the third class who served three years. The original "House of Worship" was built on the "pay as you go" plan—they built as far as money and material would go.

This House of Worship was 35 ft. broad and 42 ft. long, and had a steeple. It was located near the Post road on a piece of ground which was part of "the plain" belonging to Luke Stoutenburgh Esq. and which was later conveyed by the said Luke Stoutenburgh Esq. to the "proprietors" of the Stoutsburgh Religious Society.

The Church had 48 "seats". The floor of the newly built Church was divided off into spaces for seats, after which the "proprietors" hired a "Crier" or auctioneer who sold these floor spaces to the highest bidders.

Those who bought floor spaces had to build their own seats within a certain time and according to certain specifications stipulated by the Trustees.

The names of all who subscribed toward the building of the original House of Worship, and the name of all who bought floor spaces and the amount paid for the same, are recorded in the "Proceedings of the Stoutsburgh Religious Society" printed below. These lists of names are important in that they show who were living in Stoutsburgh and vicinity at the time the original church was built.

What follows is an exact copy of all the important matter contained in the "Proceedings of the Stoutsburgh Religious Society, By the Clerk of it, Begun 1789"—also "Minutes and Proceedings of the Stoutsburgh Religious Society, By the clerk of the Trustees".

"Nov. 29, 1789. This day public notice was given at the church for all concerned to meet at said place on Friday the 4th of Dec. next to choose inspectors to attend the election for six Trustees to take care of all the temporalities of the Society and House."

"Dec. 4, 1789. The meeting was held at the church by the above notification and Jacob Schryver and John A. Lee were unanimously chosen inspectors of the ensuing election which is to be held at the above place on Monday the 21st instant".

"Dec. 21, 1789. This day the election was held by the above public notice and at the close of the vote John Stoutenburgh Sr., Thomas Banker, Isaac Conklin, Joshua Nelson, Jacob Schryver, and John A. Lee were by pluralities of votes elected for Trustees of said Building and Society."

At a meeting held at the "Stoutsburgh Church" Aug. 21, 1790 arrangements were made for "admitting preachers" to the Church. A vote of "two thirds of the proprietors" was made necessary to admit any preacher.

"Voted that this House remain free and open to all good and well recommended preachers of every Christian society agreeable to the first Article on which the House was built, for the term of ten years next ensuing, so that it shall not be appropriated within said term to any one denomination.

A committee of five consisting of Joshua Nelson, Jesse Bell, Israel Armstrong, John Stoutenburgh and Richard De Cantillon was appointed "to lay out the floor into proper divisions for seats".

"Agrees that Saturday 25th day of September next be the day to begin the sale of the seats and the Trustees to attend and continue said sale by adjournment to every successive Saturday till the whole are disposed of.

By order of the meeting, John A. Lee, Clerk."

Sept. 25, 1790. This day the Trustees met and agreed to fix a certain sum to each seat and the crier to keep said seat unsold till the bid amounted to said price and as much higher as he could get it. The plan of seats was exhibited and consists of 48 seats." (Then the number and ocation of each seat are stated in the minutes) 1 "Article of Vendure" "Firstly—Whoever purchases a place for a seat is bound to build said seat within the term of 10 months next ensuing this date.

Secondly—The purchasers are all to build uniform outwardly throughout the House.

Lastly—Half the money must be paid within one month, deducting what the purchaser has already paid to said Building, the other half has 6 months credit".

The foregoing list contains the names of the first 25 persons who bought seats in the Church. According to the "Article of Vendure" they really paid for floor space in the church and built the seats themselves.

At a meeting held Jan. 3, 1791 it was stated that "The conveyance of the ground on which the church stands and its appendages was executed and delivered to Jacob Schryver the treasurer of the Society."

"At a meeting of the Trustees Jan. 5, 1792 at the home of Jacob Schryver it was resolved to collect arrearage and to write new subscriptions for finishing the steeple, glassing and painting the House and further carrying on said Building."

The second subscription is dated Jan. 10, 1792 and the following are the names of the subscribers.

This second subscription amounted to 9 pounds 19 shillings 6 pence— this makes the grand total subscribed up to date 321 pounds 7 shillings.

"At a meeting of the Trustees, May 3, 1793, at the house of Israel Carpenter it was resolved that James J. Stoutenburgh should procure paint and oil for the building, and as much glass as he could upon the present encouragement, and Isaac Conklin was to advance him five pounds cash as part pay thereof.

I t was further resolved that John A. Lee should superintend the carpenter work and procure workmen to finish the floor and also boards for sealing round within the church as high as the top of the seats or pews would be."

"May 3, 1792. John A. Lee was appointed Treasurer and the deed, books, papers delivered to him accordingly."

"Jan. 7, 1793. This day the election for the third class of Trustees was held by publick advertisements at the church and adjourned to the store of John L. Stoutenburgh & Co. And at the close of the pole, Jacob Schryver and Isaac Conklin were found duly elected Trustees for the third class of this Society by plurality of voices for three years next ensuing."

"Jan. 6, 1794. At an election of the Trustees at the house of Israel Carpenter, held by publick advertisement, John Stoutenburgh and James J. Stoutenburgh were duly elected for the first class and John P. Schriver in the room of John A. Lee for one year, were elected Trustees."

The Trustees appointed James J. Stoutenburgh clerk, and John L. Stoutenburgh Treasurer."

"Jan. 5, 1795. At an election held this day, Jesse Bell and John P. Schryver were elected Trustees for 2d class—Jesse Bell collector."

"Jan. 4, 1796. At an election held this day Jacob Schryver and Capt. Isaac Conklin were elected Trustees for the third class for 3 years ensuing—Voted Jesse Bell Esq. Collector.

John Stoutenburgh, Treasurer James J. Stoutenburgh, Clerk."

(The pages of this oldest record book containing the "minutes and proceedings of the Stoutsburgh Religious Soceity" from Jan. 4 1796 to Jan. 3, 1803 are missing) 197

"Jan. 3, 1803. At an election held this day at the church of Stoutsburgh Religous Society by publick advertisement it appeared on closing the poll that Jacob Schryver and Jeremiah Rogers were chosen Trustees for the first class for three years and that Abner Lee was chosen in the room of John S. Schryver for the third class for two years and that Jacob Schryver was chosen Treasurer and Abner Lee Clerk, each for one year.

Abner Lee Clerk."

"Jan. 2, 1804. At an election held this day at the Church of Stoutsburgh Religious Society by publick advertisement, it appeared on closing the poll that John S. Schryver and William Todd were duly elected Trustees for the second class for the three years ensuing—and that Jeremiah Rogers was chosen Treasurer and James J. Stoutenburgh was chosen clerk."

"Jan. 1, 1805. At an election held this day at the Church of Stoutsburgh Religious Society by publick advertisement it appeared on closing the poll that Tobias W. Stoutenburgh and John Johnson were duly elected for three years ensuing in the third class and that Walter Skidmore was duly elected for one year in room of Jacob Schryver, who has removed, in the first class, and further that Jeremiah Rogers was elected Treasurer and Walter Skidmore clerk for one year.

Test. Walter Skidmore."

"Jan. 7, 1805. At a meeting called at the church of Stoutsburgh and adjourned to the house of Israel Carpenter on Monday the 7th day of January 1805 when Jeremiah Rogers was chosen chairman and Abner Lee Clerk for the business of choosing Trustees and also to establish the Constitution of the Church, at which time it was voted that the present Trustees should take the sense of the proprietors whether the Church should not be at the mutual agreement, or in other words, equally divided between the Episcopalians and Reformed Dutch Church.

Test. Walter Skidmore."

"At a meeting held at Stoutsburgh Church of the proprietors on the sixth day of April 1805 and adjourned to the house of Israel Carpenter.

Voted that Tobias W. Stoutenburgh was chosen chairman and Walter Skidmore clerk, in order for the proprietors to say in what form." (here ends the record) The proprietors probably decided the question of dividing the Church.

Thus we see that the record of the "Proceeding of the Stoutsburgh Religious Society" ends abruptly in April 1805—The pages of this old record book containing the "minutes" from Jan. 4, 1796 to Jan. 3, 1803 are missing.

There is nothing said in this old record book concerning the organization of the "Dutch Church of Stoutsburgh," as the Reformed Church was originally known. This Church was organized by the old Classis of Kingston, and the date of its organization given in Dr. Corwin's "Manual of the Reformed Church in America" is 1792. Dr. Corwin no doubt got his information from the minutes of the old Classis of Kingston. The congregation of the Dutch Church of Stoutsburgh worshipped in the 198

CHURCH RECORDS

original House of Worship until the present Reformed Church was built.

The first record book of the Dutch Church of Stoutsburgh covering the period from its organization in 1792 down to September 1813 is missing, so that nothing can be here stated concerning its history during that period.

The earliest book of minutes is entitled, "Minutes of the Dutch Church of Stoutsburgh—Sept. 16, 1813—April 5, 1837."

As is stated on page 14 of the above minutes that the consistory convened on Sept. 16, 1813 at the home of Tobias W. Stoutenburgh.

Jacob Scriver was elected President and John Manney Secretary and Treasurer. John Manney was "authorized and employed to perform Divine Service in the Church of Stoutsburgh, by prayer, reading, and exhortation". This service he performed from Oct. 1, 1813—May 1, 1814.

Jacob Scriver was given authority to "admit all preachers of the Gospel of every denomination at his own discretion, into the Church of Stoutsburgh, when the times do not interfere with our own services."

This last statement shows that the people who composed the Dutch Church of Stoutsburgh were worshipping in the original House of Worship (sometimes called the Church of Stoutsburgh) and that people of other denominations were holding services there also.

The Consistory convened at the home of Jacob Scriver Oct. 28, 1813.

The following members were present, showing the men who were officers of the church at that time—Jacob Scriver, John Scriver, Tobias W. Stoutenburgh, Isaac Stoutenburgh, William Todd, Abraham Van Wagoner, Michael Tomkins, and John Manney.

The first minister whose name is found in the records of the Church was C. C. Cuyler who ministered to the Church from 1809 to 1813 either as an ordained and settled pastor or as acting pastor.

At a meeting of the Consistory held in December 1813, Mr. Azziel Bronson a young candidate for the ministry was called to supply the vacant Church. His salary was $242.00.

At a meeting of the Consistory Aug. 4, 1814 it was voted "that the lot lying south of the Church be exchanged with Tobias L. Stoutenburgh for half an acre of land for a burying ground, and fifty dollars in cash"— This no doubt indicates the time when the ground now used for a cemetery adjacent to the present Church was secured.

It is stated in the Minutes that the united congregations of Stoutsburgh and Pleasant Plains united in a call on the Rev. P. S. Wynkoop, which having been accepted, he was installed in May 1817."

At a meeting of the Consistory held apparently in May 1817 "it was resolved that the style hereafter should be The Minister, Elders, and Deacons of the Reformed Dutch Church of Hyde Park."

The above record shows that the Dutch Church of Stoutsburgh and the Church of Pleasant Plains were united under one minister and with joint consistories either in 1816 or the early part of 1817. The record also shows that the place was known as Hyde Park at least as early as May, 1817.

HYDE PARK

It is recorded that the united consistories of Hyde Park and Pleasant Plains met at the home of Tobias W. Stoutenburgh Feb. 6, 1821—The meeting was opened with prayer by the Rev. C. C. Cuyler. The following were present from the Hyde Park Church, Rev. P. S. Wynkoop, Elders Tobias W. Stoutenburgh, John Scriver, William Todd, Joseph Teale— Deacons Isaac Stoutenburgh, Abraham Van Wagoner, and Michael Tomkins. Those present from the Pleasant Plains Church were Cornelius Van Vliet and William Traver.

At a meeting of the Consistory on April 21, 1821 a committee was appointed to "superintend the repairing of the Church—and at the same time deemed it inexpedient to remove the building further back." This shows that the original House of Worship was repaired in 1821 and that there had been talk of moving the Church back.

A meeting of the Consistory April 10, 1822 shows that the following men were officers of the Church at that time—Elders Isaac W. Stoutenburgh, and Evert A. Pells—Deacons Benjamin Van Wagoner, James Jones, John Skinner, John W. Todd, and Thomas Sarles.

At a meeting of the Consistory July 4, 1823 the Rev. Ferdinand H. Von Der Veer, a missionary sent to the Church by the Dutch Missionary Society of New York, was called to the pastorate and began his ministry July 6, 1823. He continued in the pastorate until September 1825. The Church was apparently vacant from November 1825 to June 1829.

At a meeting of the Consistory and pew holders Aug. 22, 1831 there was a discussion of a debt of $130.00 "due to Benjamin Delamater for lot purchased of him on which the Church was erected."

This shows that the lot on which the present Church was built was purchased from Benjamin Delamater.

At the same meeting the Consistory "laid off many distinct burying lots for family and affixed to each the price of ten dollars." The following lots were taken—No. 1 Isaac Stoutenburgh No. 2 Evart A. Pells No. 3 Joseph Hyzer No. 4 J. S. Van Wagner and D. Barns No. 5 Walter Skidmore No. 6 Cornelius Van Vliet Jr. No. 7 Benjamin Delamater No. 8 Thomas Sarles No. 9 John Rhimph No. 10 D. C. Stoutenburgh and William Mott No. 11 Henry Bush No. 12 Charles and Elizabeth Congden No. 13 Jesse Champlin No. 14 William Banker No. 15 Gilbert Van Wagner No. 17 Charles A. Shaw No. 19 Andrew Phillips.

The foregoing record shows when the present cemetery adjacent to the church was started. The following statement will show what was paid to the sexton about 100 years ago. At a meeting of the Consistory April 23, 1832 the sexton, Griffin Griffin stated "that he could not serve another year under $20.00"—It was resolved that he receive $10.00 and the proceeds of two collections.

At a meeting of Consistory Oct. 11, 1832 reference was made to "the lot between Wm. Mann's store and Dr. Beadle's office," this lot was probably being considered for a Parsonage At a meeting of Consistory Nov. 2, 1832 "the purchasing of a Par200

CHURCH RECORDS

sonage" was discussed—those present subscribed $255.00 toward it. Six different subscriptions were circulated to raise the money necessary.

On Jan. 7, 1833 it was reported that the amount subscribed up to date was $846.00. Joseph Hyzer, David Mulford, and Isaac Stoutenburgh were appointed a committee to inspect buildings offered for sale.

The following properties were inspected, "the Baines lot", the "Dr. Nelson property," the "Cheeseman house and lot," and several lots owned

by Dr. Sherril.

At a meeting of the Consistory March 4, 1833 the committee reported that they "had purchased the house and lot of Stephen Spoor, lying north and next adjoining to the church, for which they agreed to pay the sum of $725.00." It was resolved that "immediate measures be adopted to have a two story front put up on the lot purchased". Isaac Stoutenburgh, David Mulford, and Andrew Lawson were appointed a building committee.

Much more might be copied from the church records but there is not room for it in this History.

Following, we give a list of the ministers, church officers, church members, and the marriage and baptismal records of the church.

H Y D E PARK

T H E CATHOLIC CHURCH The early Catholic settlers in Hyde Park attended services at St. Peter's Church, Poughkeepsie. In 1861, a new parish was formed at Rhinecliff with Rev. M. J. Scully as first resident priest. At this time Hyde Park became one of the outlying missions of Rhinecliff and arrangements were made for services once a month in the Town Hall, then situated at the corner of Market Street and the Albany Post Road.

In 1863, Mrs. Drayton-Kirkpatrick (nee Sylvia Livingston) owner of a large estate in Hyde Park, out of her own personal funds built the present Catholic Church, dedicated to The Blessed Virgin Mary, under the title Regina Coeli (Queen of Heaven.) Not until 1877 did Hyde Park become a seperate parish with its own resident pastor. Up to this date the records of all baptisms, marriages and deaths were kept by St. Peter's or the Rhinecliff church.

Money was raised for needed repairs and to place a bell in the tower.

However after a few years the members passed away and the building was again closed.

Sketch of ownership: This property was included in the Great Nine Partner's Patent and on March 14, 1768 was deeded by Jacobus Stoutenburgh to Luke Stoutenburgh, after whose death it "was alloted to his son, Luke Stoutenburgh."

I t came into the possession of the Baptist Society December 28, 1844, being deeded by "William W. Woodworth and Catharine M., his wife," to the "Trustees of the Baptist Church of Hyde Park." Consideration $225. For $1.00 this property was deeded by "The Baptist Society of Hyde Park by Richard E. Lansing, John L. Wigg, Lewis E. Lansing, George E. B. Van Wagner and George R. Frost, Trustees, to The Baptist Church of Christ in Poughkeepsie" April 17, 1899. This deed being found defective a new one was executed by same trustees January 26, 1905.

The Poughkeepsie owners sold to John S. Huyler of Hyde Park January 31, 1905, for the sum of $800. Mr. Huyler refitted the building as a modern gymnasium for use of the village residents. After his death his estate deeded the property to Gramercy Investing Company, of New 244

HISTORICAL RECORD. Brother W. B. Outwater's Sketch.

Methodism seems to have taken root in Hyde Park in the year 1832 through the labors of Bro. Alonzo F. Silleck, then a layman in the M. E. Church, and afterward a useful member of the N. Y. Conference. (His labors were blessed of God in the conversion of souls, and in the upbuilding of Zion.) In the month of June 1833, John Albertson became interested in the cause, and generously deeded the lot (on which the present church stands,) to Josiah Williams, John Giles, William Armstrong, Alonzo F. Silleck and Henry S. Backus, the 1st Board of Trustees, (through whose untiring zeal and great liberality the) church edifice was completed, (of which it may truly be said, by very many, "This man was born there.")

In 1834 Bro. Silleck, then a local preacher, supplied the pulpit. In 1835 Bro. Denton Keeler and his colleague, appointed to the Milan Circuit were the preachers at this village. In 1836 & 1837 Bro. S. Cochran labored here (in word and doctrine. Then and previously the hour of Sabbath preaching here was 2j/£ o'c p. m.) In 1838 & 1839 Bro. C. C. Keys was preacher in charge. During his pastorate a gracious revival was vouchsafed of God; (some fruit of which remains to this day. Sister Sarah Green & others were at this time added to the church: in which they have been constant and faithful and very useful members. Their record is high.) In 1840 & 41 Bros. I. N. Shaffer & Young (of precious memory, faithfully & successfully) preached ("the glorious gospel of the ever blessed God,") to this people. In the last of these years, 1841, about 20 persons were converted and united with this church. Some of these continued faithful & useful for a number of years, and have since fallen away: others have died in the Lord; and still others, among whom are Bro. & Sister Outwater, Sister Jane Fowler & Sister Annie Van Wagner, remain to bless the church, and labor for its good. Bro. John Albertson the 2nd, son of the above named friend, whom to know was to love was converted in this revival, and following in his Father's footsteps presented to the Trustees of the church a lot adjoining it, for a parsonage, retaining it in his possession, until they should be ready to build. This they were not prepared to do until 1856, at which time Bro. Albertson had died. His heirs refused to sanction the gift of this lot; thus defeat-

CHURCH RECOEDS

ing his generous intentions. Bro. Albertson died gloriously in the arms of Bro. Outwater, leaving behind him a precious memory. At the time of this revival, 1836, Bro. John E. Williams was the only male member of this society, & for 7 years thereafter during the time he acted as sexton & in every possible way interested himself in the church. Bro. Shaffer was very greatly and kindly helped by the Poughkeepsie brethren; especially by the now sainted E. B. Kelley & by Bros. Wm. S. Morgan, I Banker & I. P. H. Tallman.

In 1842, Conference sent Revs. R. A. Chalker & L. F. Pease (whose ministry & goodly examples were greatly blessed here. It was a year of refreshing from the presence of the Lord and many souls were added to the church. Some still live amoung us, who were then brought to Jesus.)

In 1843 Hyde Park was made a Station and Bro. C. Chittendon was appointed to the charge. (Some were also converted this year.) In 1844-5 Bro. R. A. Chalker was re-appointed Pastor (to the great joy and spiritual profit of the membership.) In 1846, the now sainted Rev. Cyrus Bolster became our Pastor. Soon after his leaving here, he entered the Church of the First-born above. ("His rest was glorious.")

In 1847, The Rev. B. M. Grenung (was Pastor and married during the year.)

In 1848-9 the Rev. Wm. Ostrander (served the charge acceptably and profitably. These were years of great peace and prosperity.)

In 1850-51 the Rev. Andrew J. Hunt was preacher in charge. (During his ministry the church was edified & increased.)

In 1852, the Rev. I. H. Champion (labored faithfully in this place.)

In 1853, (the gifted) George Kerr was appointed. (Since then the Master has called him from labor to reward.

"Even the ashes of the just Smell sweet & blossom in the dust.")

In 1854, the Rev. George Daniels (was sent to this charge.)

In 1855-6 the Rev. A. C. Fields, (untiring in his efforts, "a workman needing not to be ashamed," was our Pastor.) Under his administration the present Parsonage was built at a cost of about $2200 and was nearly all paid for. These were years of great prosperity, and a large number converted, one of whom, Rev. P . Germond, is now in the Conf.

In 1857-8 the Rev W. B. Mitchell received his last Conference appointment, and it was to Hyde Park. (Souls were given to him here, as the fruit of his ministry.) In the Autumn of 1858, Bro. Mitchell (was taken with Bilious Colic, and in less than a week after,) died; beloved, regretted by all. His death made a great impression. Just before he died, he said to Bro. I. L. Green, "I see light ahead."

Autumn 1858.

The remainder of the Conference year, by the unanimous call of the Society Bro. Israel L. Green, a local preacher, residing here, supplied the pulpit. Pastor and people were of one heart and one mind, and labored together. Special services were held every night for 3 months, and a very precious revival crowned these special meetings. (The work was 247

HYDE PARK

deep and powerful and lasting. Bro. Hinchman was converted at this time. He remarkably exemplified the power of let. Jesus to save to the uttermost & to cleanse from all sin. His race was short, but it was wellrun and well-won. "For him to live Christ and to die was gain.")

In 1859-60 the Rev. Thomas Ellis, (the warm hearted Welsh-Methodist, and a sweet singer of Israel) was sent here. (His labors were not in vain in the Lord.) On the 8th day of June, 1860, Sister Ellis, the 1st Pastor's wife who died in the Parsonage after 30 years of experience as the wife of an Itinerant Minister, here she laid her burden down, and entered into rest: 13 years after Bro. Ellis joined her in the heavenly mansion. (Together they dwell by the bank of the River of Life.)

In 1861-2 the Rev. I. W. Edmonds became preacher in charge. (His ministry was acceptable and his interest in the Singing & Sabbath school was marked.)

In 1863 the Rev. I. W. Macomber (spent a very pleasant year with the people.

In 1864 the Rev. Van Ness Traver was appointed Pastor. (His pulpit service and pastoral work were highly appreciated by the loyal members of the Society.)

In 1865 Bro. A. L. Saxe was Pastor. (It was a pleasant year.)

In 1866 Revs. W. L. Pattison & R. L. Tarleton in 1867 were the Pastors.

In 1868 Conference concluded not to send a Preacher. Thrown on our own resources—heavily in debt—the church much out of repairs— the membership small and discouraged—Bro. Israel L. Green, a local deacon, volunteered to preach every Sabbath morning, if his health permitted, and Bro. Wm. B. Outwater pledged himself to take charge of a prayer meeting every Sunday evening. (Thus Divine service was held throughout the Conference year and with manifestations of the approval of God. In the meantime, the Church edifice within and without, was sadly in need of improvement and change.) Mr. Wm. Mallory, unsolicited, generously offered to re-paint the walls of the building, (and did so at his own expence, thereby stimulating the Trustees to go on and make further improvements.) Bros. Green and Outwater resolved to modernize the whole interior; (and after laying before the Official Boards their plans, and securing their approval of them, the good work was begun.

Pews, Altar, Platform & Pulpit were all removed and others & better were substituted. The side walls and ceiling were frescoed; the vestibule, as now standing, was constructed,) and the church was made attractive and convenient. (To the Ladies of the church and congregation is due the liberality and taste displayed in furnishing the Church. God who had put it in our hearts to devise and do liberal things for his church and service, sanctioned our united efforts; gave health sufficient to his servant our Pastor, Bro. Green, and inspired the whole remaining membership to work for God and souls. The attendance on Divine services, both public and social increased, and on the 20th of December 1868, the Official Board decided to commence on the following Sabbath special meetings, 248

CHURCH RECORDS

which with signal & unprecedented success were continued for 3 months.

A majority of the converts, through the strong personal efforts and influence of their supposed friends, united with the Dutch Reformed & Protestant Episcopal Churches in the village: the remainder were a valuable accession to the mother church constituting nearly one half of its present membership.) For 5 years, without salary, and giving his donations, toward the church indebtedness, Bro. I. L. Green served the Hyde Park M. E. Church, preaching, during this, the longest pastoral service connectedly. Known throughout the N. Y. Conference, (over 600 sermons and delivering many hundreds of exhortations, and freeing, with the hearty co-operation of the Sisters and brethren, and friends, the entire property, valued at $6500.001100, from debt. Not until "the day shall declare it," will the wonderful sacrifices and services of this ordained Local Elder be known fully and rewarded aright, but surely then, the Great Head of the Church will say to him, "Well done thou good and faithful servant, and his will be the glory and joy of those, "who turn many to righteousness." The church property beautified and repaired, the debt fully cancelled, the membership greatly blessed, increased and united) —in April 1873, Bro. I. M. Richards, at the Conference, held in Hudson, received his first appointment to this charge. For 6 months he labored with zeal and acceptance, (especially devoting himself to the S. School and the financial affairs of the church. During these six months, the organ, now in the church gallery was bought at an expence of $125.001100, of which about 23 dollars were raised before his leaving the charge. One joined on probation, one was received into full membership, and one joined by certificate. The Sabbath-School was much increased and a subscription amounting to $400.001100 was obtained, toward the Pastor's support, for the Conference year.) In October 1873, Bishop Andrews transfered Bro Richards to the Nebraska Conference, stationing him at Fremont. Again the pulpit was vacant. The Presiding Elder, Rev. S. I. Ferguson, with the approval of the Official Board, appointed Rev. J. K. Wardle to supply the charge for the remaining Conference Year. (He entered on his work here, on Sunday Oct. 19th, and preached his first sermon, in behalf of the Bible cause, at the Union Service, held in the Reformed Church. During his 6 months of service he supplied the pulpit morning & evening, with the exception of one Sabbath, when illness in his family prevented his leaving his Hudson home, and devoted nearly 1 day each week to pastoral visitations. About 10 new scholars were added to the School, 9 children & 5 adults were baptised, two were received into full membership, 1 also by letter, and 10 joined on probation.

The church collections were all attended to, and were as follows: For S. S. Union $3.36, Missionary Socy $40.501100 & S. School $2.00; Wornout Preachers $19.501100. About 20 dollars were obtained by a lecture he gave towards the Organ-Fund. Unbroken harmony reigned, the congregations were uniformly good, and the class & Prayer meetings were regularly held. Bro. Gobielle most faithfully served as class leader, and punctually paid the Preacher's salary, monthly; while the Prayer meeting 249

was successfully led by Bro. Green, and the Sabbath school prospered under the faithful superintendency of Bro. C. Bayles.

HISTORICAL NOTES. Dr. Samuel Bard gave ground for the church and churchyard, and was the chief donor of money for the church building, having general help from the community on the undertaking. The church was consecrated by Bishop Hobart on October 10th, 1811.

About the year 1832, Dr. Johnson caused a school house to be errected in the village, which has for many years been used as a reading room and parish hall. In 1835 a rectory was built in the churchyard, and used as such until 1893 when it was taken down. The present rectory in the village was first rented, and then bought in 1895, chiefly through the generosity of Col. Archibald and Mrs. Rogers, and Elbridge T. Gerry.

In 1843 the church was rebuilt and enlarged.

In 1856 the chapel was built on the lots given by Dr. Johnson for the school building which was connected thereto with folding doors.
