INTRODUCTION. 
 
 Every new settlement is the overflow of some place 
 not far away. Newark and Elizabeth flowed out from 
 Jersey City and Hackensack. Many in this vicinity 
 went from Newark and its surroundings. That there 
 was a church here before 1765 is evident from a deed 
 bearing date vSept. 5, 1765, from James Parker to the 
 Trustees of the Presbyterian Church, Levi Lewis, 
 Daniel Cary, James King and Benjamin Clark for the 
 consideration of 5 shillings. 
 
 A copy of this deed is as follows : Beginning at a 
 stake on the north-east side of the road, distant ten 
 chains and twenty-nine links in a south-easterly direc- 
 tion from the most southerly corner of Job C. Throck- 
 morton's house and runs thenee —

 side of the road. 
 
 4th. North, 45 degrees west, 2 chains 50 links to the 
 place of beginning. 
 
 Containing 1% acres, and is bounded on the S. W. by 
 road, and on the N. W., N. E. and 8. E. by lands of 
 said James Parker. 
 
 In 176S the Church at Succasunna joined the Church 
 at Chester in a call to the Rev. Wm. Woodhuli. 
 
 (3f the above named committee the following were 
 Elders at that date : Eliphalet Lewis, Elisha Drake, 
 Jeremiah Rogers. 
 
 The next record of Eldership is December, 181 7. 
 They were Ebenezer Coe and Hiram Condit in the 
 ministry of Rev. Jacob Green. September, 181 8, Caleb

 and Mr. Jonas W. Hulse were chosen Elders. 
 
 The record of these years called for a grateful review. 
 Printed invitations were sent to all who were, or had 
 been, associated in the history of the church, and the 
 responses gave very many items of information and 
 interest, a few of which may be gleaned from the after- 
 noon and evening exercises of the anniversary. 
 
 There is also given as complete an account of all the 
 ministers as could be gathered, and a copy of the me- 
 morials to our sainted dead who lie in God's Acre 
 around this historic church. 1 1 has been a labor of love, 
 and as such is submitted to a parish that has endeared 
 itself by more than thirty years of uninterrupted fellow- 
 ship and sympathy in every good word and work. 
 Lovingly your pastor,

HISTORICAL SERMON 
 
 O71 the occasion of the One Hundred and Thirth-Ninth 
 
 Anniversary of the Snccasunna, New Jersey 
 
 Presbyterian Church. 
 
 BY REV. E. W. STODDARD, D. D. 
 
 Isa. 44:7-8 — "Thus saith the Lord, the King of Israel,, 
 and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts. I appointed the 
 ancient people, and the things th^t are coming and 
 shall come." 
 
 History is the record of God's dealings with men. 
 The history of a nation or of a church is a record of 
 what the Lord has done for them. We review one 
 hundred and thirty-nine years of providential guidings 
 and blessings. Commencing with the years of the hon- 
 ored fathers and tracing the line of mercies up to this 
 day we render thanks unto the Lord who appointed the 
 ancient people and the things that are coming and shall 
 come. It is an inspiration at certain periods to look 
 backward. 
 
 We then behold the fathers and mothers who by 
 patient toil have waited upon the seed sowing and 
 culture which rears the generations, who watch the 
 heroes, who in little things lay the foundations of all 
 future greatness. J. G. Holland says : 
 
4^ Auiiiversarj Exercises. 
 
 "We rise by the things that are under feet 
 
 By what we have mastered of good and gain ; 
 
 By the pride deposed and the passion slain, 
 
 And the vanquished ills that we hourly meet." 
 
 No church has lived one hundred years that has not 
 such heroic characters, both men and women, and no 
 church will live one hundred years to come that is not 
 rising by things that are under feet. The world, the 
 flesh and the devil are under feet in the things that are 
 coming and shall come. We are to-day looking back- 
 ward upon the heroic characters of this church. 
 
 The Succasunna Presbyterian Church is one of the 
 oldest in the county — about 1755 — the church at Mor- 
 ristown being about twenty years older— 1735 — and 
 that of Hanover, about thirty-five years older. The 
 deed of this church property was executed in 1756 by 
 James Parker, one of the West Jersey proprietors. This 
 deed, for the sum of five shillings, conveys one acre for 
 a church and burial ground to Levi Lewis, Daniel Gary 
 and others. The first church building must have been 
 erected about 1760. It is said that Levi Lewis owned 
 a saw mill at Combs Hollow where he sawed the tim- 
 ber for the church. This first church building had 
 only the floor finished and plain seats, no plastered 
 walls and no ceiling. The swallows twittered from the 
 rafters even while the people worshipped, nor were 
 they disturbed by the use of the church for bairack 
 and hospital purposes, when the larger cannon, some 
 of which required three yoke of oxen to draw them, 
 were ranged and sheltered outside the buildings and 
 the munitions in the church. They were trophies from 
 the capture of Gen. Burgoyne, near Saratoga, N. Y. 
 When the new Centennial bell for Independence Hall, 
 Philadelphia, was to be cast the United States govern- 
 ment contributed one of these cannon for bell metal.

 that at Hanover were used as hospitals and this old 
 graveyard has many nameless graves. 
 
 On January 28th, 1818, in the ministry of Rev. Jacob 
 Green the congregation resolved to repair the meeting 
 house, put on new covering, put in new windows and 
 new timbers and lath and plaster. This house, which 
 was nearly square, 35x40 feet, with its pulpit on the 
 side, accommodated the people until January ist, 1853, 
 when in the ministry of Rev. Josiah Fisher the parish 
 resolved to build a new church. The last day of ser- 
 vice in the old church of nearly one hundred years was 
 held on the first Sabbath of May, 1853. The Rev. Dr. 
 Samuel Fisher, the father-in-law of Pastor Fisher, 
 preached in the morning from the text, " Keep your- 
 selves in the love of God." The Rev. Josiah Fisher 
 preached in the evening. The old church was taken 
 down and a new one erected on its .ite. There may be 
 those present who helped to take down the old timbers 
 and set them in the new house. The corner stone of 
 the new church building was laid May 26th, 1853. A 
 brief history of the church, the names of its officers 
 and members at that time, certain newspapers, and a 
 bullet found in removing the old building, bearing date 
 in etching July 4th, 1776, and other relics were placed 
 in the corner stone. The new house was dedicated 
 October nth, 1853. At this point it maybe interesting 
 to mention that the first service held in this church was 
 the funeral of the Hon. Mahlon Dickerson, died Oct. 
 5th, 1853, service Oct. 8th, 1853. He had been the 
 largest contributor to the building fund. 
 
 In August, 1872, it was resolved to enlarge the church 
 by adding twelve feet to its length and a pulpit recess 
 14x7. The church was re-occupied January, 1873. 
 
 The records of the church from its organization to 
 1817 have been lost. 
 
 The recorded membership at that time, 181 7, was 35. 
 
6 AiDiiversa?-}' Exercises. 
 
 From that date to this over 600 have been added. The 
 present membership is 174. 
 
 The first pastor known to have been settled over this 
 church was Rev. Wm. Woodhull, who graduated from 
 the College of New Jersey in 1764 and belonged to the 
 Presbytery of New York. The call bears date Sept. 
 I St, 1768, and contains the signatures of Daniel Gary, 
 Levi Lewis, Jacob Drake, Jeremiah Rogers, Eliphalet 
 Lewis, Benjamin Clark and Elisha Drake. 
 
 Succasunna and Chester pledged the Presbytery of 
 New York, for the encouragement of the said Rev. 
 Wm. Woodhull, 40 pounds, the use of the parsonage 
 and his firewood. So easily were the ministers of a 
 hundred years ago encouraged and freed from worldly 
 care. Rev. Ebenezer Bradford was among the first of 
 the supplies for the pulpit. Rev. Lemuel Fordham 
 received a unanimous call in 1785, and served the two 
 churches at Chester and Succasunna for 30 years, until 
 1815. Chester and Succasunna worked together about 
 50 years. In 1816 Rev. Jacob Green became pastor 
 and served four years and nine months. Then in May, 
 1822, Rev. Enos A. Osborne supplied the pulpit for six 
 months. Rev. Peter Kanouse, January, 1823, was pas- 
 tor five years and six months. From July, 1828, Rev. 
 E. Hooper, supplied a few Sabbaths. From Ji^ne 8th, 
 1829, Rev. Enos A. Osborne was pastor during four and 
 a half years. 
 
 From April 26th, 1834, to April, 1836, Rev. Jones, of 
 Chester, Woodbury, George Pierson, E. R. Fairchild 
 and Edward Allen supplied the church in the order 
 named and for a short time each. April 17th, 183b, 
 Rev. Joseph Moore was pastor two and a half years. 
 Stanhope was then supplied by Rev. Moore. On 
 January i8th, 1838, eighteen members were received at 
 Stanhope. December 3d, 1838, Rev. David Frame 
 gave one and a half years service. During his pastor- 
 
Historical Sernioi. 7 
 
 ate the President of the United States, Martin Van 
 Buren, spent a Sabbath with his friend, Mahlon Dick- 
 erson, of Ferro Monte, and attended divine service in 
 the old church. October 5th, 1840, Rev. D. E. Magie 
 was called, ordained and installed November 17th, 1840, 
 and was pastor three and three-fourth years. July 
 28th, 1845, Rev. John Ward stated supply about two 
 years. December 15th, 1848, Rev. J. K. Davis supplied 
 about one year and a half. September, 1850, Rev. 
 Josiah Fisher called to be pastor for thirteen years and 
 supplied the church six months longer, bringing the 
 date May, 1864, when your present pastor entered upon 
 the first of his thirty-one years, which in itself contains 
 the history of a generation. 
 
 Parallel with the interest of a church in its pastors is 
 its interest in its eldership, of which this church has 
 had man)^ wise, true, noble, faithful men, who are stars 
 in its crown of rejoicing. In 1S17 the elders were 
 Ebenezer Coe and Hiram Condict. In September, 1 8 1 8, 
 Caleb Jennings, Samuel King and Abraham Cory were 
 chosen, and October 25th were ordained. July 1823, 
 Mr. Absalom Woodruff, Daniel Dalrymple and Calvin 
 Thompson were chosen elders, and September 5th the 
 last two were ordained. Mr. Absalom Woodruff de- 
 clined b_v reason of health. June 14th, 1835, Daniel 
 Cary, Silas Riggs and Wm. B. Lefevre were chosen 
 and were ordained same day. Mr. Cary declined. 
 January 29th, 1837, Stephen F. Fordham, Silas Byram 
 and Henry Conklin were chosen elders and ordained. 
 Mr. Fordham had been elder in Chester . May 2d, 1841^ 
 Samuel McCord, Martin S. Moore and Isaac W. Crarte 
 were elected and ordained elders. January 2d, 1846, 
 Lemuel F. Corwin and Lewis Meeker were chosen and 
 ■ordained. October 8th, 1848, Mr. Geo. W. Packard and 
 Albert R. Riggs were chosen and Nov. 19th ordained, 
 Rev. Williamson officiating. About March, 1S64, Joshua

 G. Corwin and Josiah Meeker were chosen and ordained 
 elders, Rev. J. Fisher officiating. May 6th, 1874, Mr. 
 Silas H. Hopkins was chosen and ordained elder. Dec. 
 nth, 1892, Theodore F. King, Henry F. Meeker and 
 Jonas W. Hulse were chosen elders, and the last two 
 •ordained December i8th, 1892. Most of these elders 
 served the church to end of life. Two, L. F. Corwin, 
 March 6th, and S. H. Hopkins, April 29th, were so re- 
 cently called to higher service. Every year some of the 
 membership also hear the call to join the church of the 
 first-born in heaven. Only fourteen remain who were 
 members thirty-one years ago. The Master says, work 
 for the night cometh when no man can work. A his- 
 torical poem will give us incidents and teachings:

 BY MRS. E. A. STdDDARD. 
 
 Our Father's God, whose loving care appears 
 
 On every line of this long scroll of years, 
 
 As we unroll with grateful hearts to-day 
 
 We would acknowledge Thee in all the way. 
 
 Upon the cloud as on the wall of flame 
 
 We trace, with those of old, Thy sacred name, 
 
 Across the desert, at the restful fount, 
 
 Within the valley or upon the mount, 
 
 As Thou hast gone before in all the time 
 
 We trace the years, one hundred and thirty-nine. 
 
 To-day it is our pride and our delight 
 To follow all along the trail of light 
 That passed so often by the clefted rock, 
 As loving pastors led the little flock. 
 
 The name of Woodhull is a worthy name 
 
 To lead the list upon this roll of fame; 
 
 The Rev. Bradford serves as a supply, 
 
 Then wisdom sought is given them from on high. 
 
 And Pastor Lemuel Fordham comes to bless 
 
lo Anniversary Exercises. 
 
 With thirty years of loving faithfulness, 
 
 A fruitful and a happy pastorate, 
 
 That saw the babes attain to man's estate. 
 
 Then follows Jacob Green, in whose four years 
 
 And good nine months a change of form appears 
 
 In the old meeting house, upon whose eaves 
 
 The swallows built their nests of twigs and leaves. 
 
 And while the congregation sang their hymns 
 
 The birds responded with their twitterings. 
 
 Inviting also to the open door, 
 
 And to the service on that hallowed floor. 
 
 Six months served Osborne, then Kanouse was given 
 Five years of service by the grace of Heaven. 
 For a few Sabbaths Hooper was supply. 
 Then Osborne came again and this dear tie 
 Held heart and hand four years and six months more, 
 Then came supplies who for the two years bore 
 The names of Jones, Woodbury, Pierson, then 
 Fairchild and Allen, true and noble men. 
 
 The vShepherd's crook passed on to Joseph Moore, 
 
 Who for two years six months the symbol bore. 
 
 Then churchly records give to us the name 
 
 For one year and six months of David Frame. 
 
 One Sabbath morning as the record states 
 
 The President of these United States, 
 
 Martin Van Buren, with his honored host. 
 
 Our Mahlon Dickerson, were at their post 
 
 In the old meeting house to worship God, 
 
 And listen to the preaching of the Word, 
 
 From ist Corinthians, three, twelve, thirteen, 
 
 A rich discourse from which they all could glean. 
 
 And then another prince of royal line, 
 
 Daniel Magie, well versed in things divine. 
 
 For three years and three-fourths he gave "the Word," 
 
 And for two years we were supplied by Ward, 
 
Historical Poem. 
 
 And then by Davis one j-ear six months more, 
 
 And Fisher, the beloved, half a score 
 
 And three, meanwhile in ancient poplar shade 
 
 The corner stone of the new church was laid. 
 
 May twenty-six of eighteen fifty-three, 
 
 The pride and joy of his long ministry. 
 
 His name engraven on the marble urn. 
 
 His name engraven on the heart and home, 
 
 With those who also served, the good, the blest. 
 
 The crowned victors, entered into rest. 
 
 Our Albert Riggs of blessed memory. 
 
 Whose twenty years of loving ministry 
 
 In Sabbath school is still a treasure store, 
 
 Whose Eldership of thirty years and more 
 
 Has left an imprint on all coming time. 
 
 For Christlike living makes our lives sublime. 
 
 And almost at his side a comrade lies. 
 Our Fordham Corwin, patient, tender, wise, 
 In each department of the service true. 
 Delighting in the work he found to do, 
 And full of faith in every promised word 
 While waiting long the message of his Lord. 
 And Elder Hopkins, who three weeks ago 
 So large a place left vacant here below. 
 
 They gather thus the cloud of witnesses 
 From all our ranks and years of usefulness. 
 The Father's rest, in God's own acre near. 
 Their virtues in their children reappear; 
 
 Our Hiram Hulse, the genial, tender, true. 
 Whose noble sons a noble life renew. 
 Our Goes, our Gorys, our Dalrymple too. 
 Our Garys and our Byrams staunch and true, 
 Our Fordham, our LeFevre, our McGord, 
 The Elders in this ancient church of God.

 Our Meekers, and our Condict, and our Kings, 
 And all the worthy host that memory brings. 
 
 In honored names and in the Christian graces 
 Thus borne by those who rise to take their places, 
 Who wear the mantles and adorn the name, 
 That found in serving its immortal fame. 
 
 Our sons and daughters have been scattered wide 
 
 Across the continents across the tide. 
 
 On Persian soil and on the Western fields 
 
 To gather home at last with golden sheaves. 
 
 Our sons and daughters on the other shore 
 
 Who gather at the Father's open door. 
 
 Or watch us from the height, inspire to-day 
 
 To persevere along the homeward way. 
 
 One heart, one aim, in pastor and in flock, 
 
 To feed in pastures by the clefted rock. 
 
 As thirty years and one we would review, 
 Our pledges to each other we renew, 
 As when in eighteen hundred sixty-four 
 The record first the name of Stoddard bore, 
 To hold it thus these thirty years and one 
 Until one hundred thirty-nine have gone, 
 And we recall the labors and the word 
 Of those who came as they were sent of God. 
 
 Ten pastors and the nine supplies in all, 
 And each save two, have heard the higher call. 
 Have crossed the stream, and on the peaceful strand 
 Have joined the flock of ovir Immanuel's land. 
 
 In August eighteen hundred seventy-two. 
 The church resolved to add a portion new, 
 And build a pulpit recess, and to crown 
 Oiir work, the Lord has added of His own.

 By added beanty, comfort, joy and light. 
 
 Your pastor found some eighty members here. 
 It has been given his ministry to cheer 
 The dear rhree hundred and the fifty-eight 
 The joy and comfort of his pastorate. 
 And as the blessed seasons shall return 
 He yearns to welcome others in your name, 
 Until our households and our neighbors given 
 We number all when we shall meet in Heaven. 
 Your pastor of the thirty years and one 
 Thus overlooks the work that has been done. 
 
 As hand was joined to hand, the wedding chimes 
 Have echoed the one hundred sixty times. 
 To voice the sorrow of the stricken soul 
 The funeral bell has often had to toll. 
 Your pastor in these hours of sorrow given 
 To speak four hundred times and thirty-seven. 
 
 Your pastor has received your words of love 
 When his beloved have been called above. 
 Your pastor comforted on that sad day 
 Nine years ago when Linnet passed awa}-. 
 Your pastor strengthened by the mission band 
 Who take up Linnet's work with heart and hand. 
 
 And by the ladies' missionary zeal. 
 
 Upon whose work the Lord has set His seal,

 To link this church with that which serves in Heaven.

 September, 1768, is now given. 
 
 This call is now in the records of the church, wearing 
 a look of age but perfectly legible, and the names of 
 the subscribing Elders and Trustees in their own hand- 
 writing :

 islature of independent New Jersey, which met at 
 Princeton in August, 1776, also 1777; again at Perth 
 Amboy, 1789. He was member of the Council at Bur- 
 lington, 1790. He was appointed Judge of the Common 
 Pleas in 1808, and was prominent in public affairs till 
 his death, Oct. 24, 1824. After leaving the ministry 
 Rev. Woodhull opened a Latin school in a log school 
 house near his residence. One of his pupils was Mahlon 
 Dickerson, who became Governor of New Jersey, also 
 Secretary of the Navy under President Andrew Jackson- 
 By his will, bearing date 1822, the Woodhull homestead 
 was left to his grandson, Caleb Gilbert Woodhull, who 
 is now a resident upon it in his 80th 3^ear. 
 
 The period from 1756, when the deed was given to 
 vSuccasunna, the churches of Roxbury (Chester) and 
 Succasunna were supplied by the same minister till the 
 close of Rev. Lemuel Fordham's labor, August, 181 5. 
 
 n. Rev. Ebenezer Bradford supplied. The Presby- 
 tery of New York, at request of Roxbury and Succa- 
 sunna, ordained him June 20, 1775. He seemed to have 
 taken work, as Rev. Woodhull was not able to do it.- 
 
 in. In 1785 Rev. Lemuel Fordham received a unani- 
 mous call and labored with these two churches about 
 30 years, till 1815. His acceptable labor is indicated by 
 its length, his economy by the purchase of a farm about 
 one mile from the Pleasant Hill Church toward vSucca- 
 sunna and now occupied by Mr. George Marsh. The 
 house was a frame building, on the same site as the one 
 now occupied by Mr. Marsh. The farm of Mr. Lewis 
 McPeak was part of Mr. Fordham's farm. 
 
 Rev. Lemuel Fordham was born on Long Island 
 April 28, 1749. He died December, 1831, and was 
 buried in Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Chester, N. J. He 
 married Sept. 3d, 1787, Ann Fairclo, daughter of Thos. 
 and Ann Mehetabel Swazy Fairclo, who was born 
 May 16, 1769, and died Aug. 11, 1807, and was buried in

 born Oct. 9, 1828. They moved to Succasunna, N. J., 
 spring of 1833, presented church letters Jan. 15, 1837. 
 
 2. vStephen Fairclo Fordham, who was born Nov., 
 1793, and died Oct. 4, 1843. He married Nov. 26, 1818, 
 Eliza Brown. They had ten children. He was an 
 elder in his father's church at Chester. He removed to 
 Succasunna about 1836, brought his letters to the 
 church Jan. 15th, 1837, and Jan. 27, 1837, was chosen to 
 the eldership. 
 
 IV. Rev. JacobGreen, third pastor Succasunna Presby- 
 terian Church and first pastor in its work separate from 
 Chester. Rev. Jacob Green was the son of Calvin and 
 Hannah Green and grandson of Rev. Jacob Green, of 
 Hanover, N. J., 1755. Jacob Green was born Aug. 15, 
 1790. He entered College of New Brunswick in iSro 
 and graduated 1812. He studied theology imder Dr. 
 Ashbal Green, President of Princeton College. He 
 preached his first sermon Oct. 15, 18 15. He went on a 
 Home Missionar}- tour June i, 1816, to May 29, 181 7. 
 His trial sermon before Presbytery was preached at 
 Hanover Nov. 4, 1817, and his ordination and installa- 
 tion followed at Succasunna Nov. 19th. He closed his 
 labors April 2, 1822. During the summer of 1817 he 
 preached here, as the treasurer of the pari.sh records 
 payment for his labor. At the close of labor here he 
 became pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Bedford. 
 N. Y., where he remained 27 years. In 1849 he became

 died there October, 1851. He married April 8, iSiy, at 
 Morg-antown, West Va., Miss Mary Henderson, who 
 was born Oct. 21, 1796. She survived her husband. 
 They left no children. 
 
 V. Rev. l^eter Kanouse was fourth pastor of this 
 church. He was the son of Jacob Kanouse, who was • 
 born in Wittemberg-, Germany, and Mary Pierre Kanouse 
 a descendant of the Hugenots in the vSouth of France, 
 and was born Aug. 20, 1784, in Rockaway Valley, Morris 
 Co., N. J., about one mile northerly from the present 
 city of Boonton. He died May 29, 1865, while pastor of 
 the Presbyterian Church of Deckertown, Sussex Co., 
 N. j..and was buried there. His early advantages for 
 education were very limited. When Rev. Barnabas 
 King came to Rockaway in 1806, and permanently in 
 1808, he found Mr. Kanouse faithfully toiling in his 
 blacksmith shop at Rockaway Valley. He was an earnest 
 Christian, full of religious zeal, eloquent and attractive, 
 eager for knowledge, and desiring an educaticm. Rev. 
 King encouraged all these aspirations. After the death 
 of his wife about 1816, and his children were in the 
 care of his wife's relatives, he went to the Bloomfield 
 Academy, then imder the care of Dr. Amzi Armstrong". 
 His education, classical and theological, was under that 
 great teacher. Mr. Kanouse was a man of great power 
 in and out of the pulpit. His work in the Clove Church, 
 Beemerville, and in his old age at Deckertown, attest 
 this. The revivals at Wantage and other fields proved 
 him to be a very remarkable minister and preacher. 
 He was for a time in Newark, N. J., and Owego, N. Y. In 
 person and manner he was noble and lovable. Rev. 
 King led him into tlie ministr}-, and they were ever 
 bosom friends. His residence which he built in vSuc- 
 casunna is still standing and is one of the choice loca- 
 tions in the village. He was ordained and installed at 
 Succasunna Jan, 22^ 1^23. His labor began there in

 the Slimmer of 1822; dismissed June, 1828. The fruit 
 of his labor was abundant. More than fifty were added 
 to the church m the five and one-half years' pastorate. 
 His wife, Mary W., united with the church at vSucca- 
 sunna in August, 1824. He was thrice married; first 
 to Mary Osborn, of Rockaway Valley, who died leaving 
 four sons ; second, to Mary Wolverton Bassett, October 
 19, 1822, and his children, who grew to adult age — 
 Elizabeth, Theodore, Ann Maria and Harriet. By his 
 third marriage with Amanda DeCamp he had a son 
 (Charles A. Kanouse), who, with much of his father's 
 spirit, entered the ministry at an early age, and after 
 sixteen years of devoted work in the ministry, died 
 in Princeton, Kentucky. 
 
 Rev. Dr. J. F. Tuttle, associate pastor with Rev. King, 
 of Rockaway, furnished this character sketch of Rev. 
 Peter Kanouse. 
 
 VI. Rev. Enos A. Osborne was the fifth pastor. Enos 
 Ayers Osborne was born in Irvington, N. J., May 2, 
 1792 ; died in Newark Feb. 25, 1879, ^^^cl was buried in 
 Bloomfield. Married Dec. 24, 1817, Abigail, daughter 
 of Deacon Joseph and Anna Crane Davis, of Bloomfield, 
 who was born July 19, 1792, and died Nov. 19, 1872. 
 Their children were: i. Charles Smith Osborne, born 
 Oct. 3, 1818 ; 2. Infant daughter, died after a few days ; 
 3. Anna Maria Osborne, born July 4, 182 1 ; married 
 William McDowell, M. D., medical inspector in the 
 Civil War 1861-1865, ^^d son of Rev. Wm. McDowell, 
 D. D. 4. Edward Allen Osborne, M. D., born Oct. 4, 
 1824. 5. Hannah Elizabeth Osborne, born vSept. 25, 1825 ; 
 died Feb. 9, 1845. 6. Sarah Louisa Osborne, born June 
 30, 1828 ; died Aug. 27, 1875 ; 7. Henrietta Alma Os- 
 borne, born Dec. 30, 1830; died Dec. 27, 1851. 8. Jo- 
 seph D. Osborne, M. D., born Sept. 16, 1833. 9. Henry

 in Bloomtield, N. J. He was twice married. By first 
 wife three sons were born — Joseph, John and Thomas. 
 By the second wife, Eliza Ayers, Enos Ayres, Annie, 
 Eliza and a little daughter who was killed at play by 
 the rolling- of a log. The family were then living at 
 or near Irvington, N. J., on a farm. The mother, Sarah 
 Ayers, died while the children were yet young. Enos 
 A., a lad of about 14, desired to study. He went to 
 Bloomfield, engaged to work for " Aunt Becky Ward " 
 milking her cow and doing chores to pay his board 
 while he attended the academy. Here he prepared for 
 college. Bloomfield was called " the nursery for Prince- 
 ton." After his college course he secured " Aunt 
 Becky Ward " for his housekeeper and conducted the 
 academy. His fondness for teaching never left him. 
 In his pastorate at Newfoundland, and also here, he 
 opened a school and associated his oldest daughter, 
 Anna Maria, in the conduct of his classes. Not only 
 were father and daughter deeply attached to each other 
 in this work of teaching, but undying attachments 
 sprang up between teachers and scholars. At the 
 golden wedding of Rev. Osborne and his wife, held 
 Dec 24, 1867, he gives this account of himself : " I was 
 ordained at Frankford, Sussex Co., N. J., as an evan- 
 gelist July, 1819, by the Presbytery of New Jersey, 
 Rev. Dr. Samuel Hanson Cox officiating. I continued 
 two years and a half in that town and organized the 
 first Presbyterian Church of Frankford. I was installed 
 the first pastor of the Presbyterian Church in New- 
 foundland, Morris Co., N. J., in 1822. 1 served that 
 church first and last sixteen years. The church at 
 Berkshire Valley was also in this charge. In summer 
 of 1822 I labored a short time at Succasunna Plain, and 
 in June, 1829, accepted the pa.storate and held it four 
 and a half years. During that time I organized the 
 Presbyterian Church at Stanhope and served both

 churches. I then returned to Newfoundland and com- 
 pleted sixteen years with that church, Since about 
 1846 I have labored in the city of Newark as City Mis- 
 sionary, voluntary and employed, org'anizing vSunday 
 schools, building mission chapels, preaching in the jail 
 and in the almshouse, to the boatmen on the canal and 
 river, visiting and assisting the families of want and 
 sorrow and superintending the City Tract vSociety. 
 Our sainted parents on both sides used to pray, ' May 
 the world be better for our having lived in it.' So we 
 have tried to make it. We rejoice over a happy family, 
 six children and eighteen grandchildren are with us 
 on this joyful occasion. Our work is nearly done. In 
 the company of the Redeemed may we all join to praise 
 God in heaven.'' At the death of Rev. O.sborne the 
 Presbytery of Newark gathered, Feb. 26, 1879, ^o ^^" 
 press their sense of the profound loss the church has 
 suffered in the removal of this honored and faithful 
 servant of God, and to express their sympathy with the 
 bereaved children and the suffering and sorrowing 
 poor, whom he used to comfort and help. 
 
 There now follows a brief record of the ancestors of 
 the Osborne family of this country : 
 
 The Osborne family were seated in Hartlip, coimty 
 Kent, England, in the early part of the 14th century. 
 John Osborne, Esq., of Hartlip Place, born 1614, suc- 
 ceeded his father in 1645. The coat-of-arms — 
 azure — a saltier ermine between four pheons-or ; crest, 
 a battle axe with a serpent winding around it ; motto. 
 Truth and Liberty. Thomas Osborne, the ancestor of 
 New Jersey families, probably sailed with his brother 
 Richard from London Feb. 17, 1634. They were both 
 in Hingham, Mass., 1635. Richard went with' the first 
 Connecticut colony and settled in Windsor, 1637. He 
 served in the Pequot war and land was granted him in 
 Fairfield, Conn., whence he removed, 1653. Thomas

 Osborne was also in the Pequot war and was with the 
 company which landed at Ouinnopiac in March, 1638. 
 In November they entered into an at^reement with 
 Monagrein and his counsellors for the purchase of the 
 lands. This was the foundation of the New Haven 
 colony. On June 4, 1639, they met together in New- 
 man's barn, and after solemn religious services drew 
 up what they called a " fundamental agreement " for 
 the regulation of the civil and religious affairs of the 
 colony. They resolved " to adopt the law of ( jod until 
 they should have time to make a better." Sixty-three 
 persons signed this agreement. Among them was 
 Thomas Osborne. In 1650 Thomas Osborne removed 
 with his family to East Hampton, L. I. June 10, 1652, 
 he "took up four acres on the Little Plain." His sons, 
 Thomas, John, Jeremiah, Joseph and Stephen, also took 
 up land at East Hampton about 1665. Jeremiah and 
 Stephen joined a company and removed to Achter 
 Crill, or Elizabeth Towne, N. J. August 15th, 1665, 
 Jeremiah was witness to the payment of money to the 
 Indians for the purchase of the town. He probably 
 died soon after, as his name no longer appears. His 
 brother vStephen had taken his place before 1668. wSte- 
 phen Osborne had two house lots "lying and being in 
 Elizabeth Town," upon the Kill creek containing 12 
 acres 10 chains bounded W. by the creek, vS. and E. by 
 the highways, and E. by the unsurveyed house lot- 
 Stephen Osborne was a member of the first jury trial of 
 which there is a record. May, 1671. His will, bearing- 
 date July 12, 1694, names sons Jeremiah, Josiah and 
 Joseph. Joseph Osborne, in his will, dated May 8, 
 1.760, names Thomas, James, Enos and Jesse, and 
 daughters Sarah, Abigail and Desire. Enos Osborne, 
 son of Joseph, probably resided at or near Irvington, 
 and was probably the father of Elias, who was born 
 about 1730. His will, dated Feb. 20, 1807, proved Nov.

 Henry Osborne, son of Elias and Mary Osborne, was 
 born in 1763. He was a member of the first Church of 
 Orange while it was known as the second Church of 
 Newark. He was ruling elder from 1801 to 181 1, when 
 he left the parish. He signed the call given to Rev. 
 Asa Hillyer, D. D., Oct. 20, 1801. He was a prosper- 
 ous farpier in or near Irvington, and his large wagon 
 was every Sabbath carrying the old women — the moth- 
 ers and their babies — to the service of worship at 
 Orange. He was father of Rev. Enos Ayres Osborne, 
 the pastor at Succasunna and the subject of this sketch-

 to thy seed after thee.'' 
 
 VIII. Supplies follow Rev. Osborne : 
 
 Rev. Jones, of Chester, for a short period. 
 
 IX. Rev. Woodbt;ry — Very little is known of him. 
 
 X. Rev. Cieo. Pierson — He was born at Orange, Oct- 
 16, 1805, and died in Florida, N. Y., Feb. 2, 1880. He 
 graduated from Princeton College July, 1823, and after 
 this he spent some months in Virginia, a tutor in a pri- 
 vate family. He studied for the ministry, spending one 
 year at Auburn, N. Y., Theological Seminary. The 
 Presbytery of Newark, N. J., licensed him to preach on 
 22d of April, 1828, and ordained him June 22, 1829. For 
 a time he assisted his pastor, the venerable Asa Hillyer, 
 D. D., of Orange. When the second Presbyterian 
 Church of Orange was organized he became its pastor. 
 He was released from this church in April, 1835, and 
 on June 13, 1835, was supply of this church, (^n June 
 14, 1835, Silas Riggs, Daniel Cary and Dr. Wm. B.

 April 17, 1836. He was born in Caldwell, N. J., Feb. 
 10, 1800, and died there of consumption June 25, 1844. 
 He married Oct. 4, 1823, Miss Matilda Steele, and re- 
 moved to Western New York and began business, 
 keeping a store. During several years he was impressed 
 that he ought to preach the CTOspel. His early advan- 
 tages for education were limited, but he began the 
 stud}' of theology and was licensed and "ordained by 
 the New Jersey Presbytery. In April, 1836, he began 
 the supply of this Church and preached with great zeal 
 and fervor. During that year the session considered 
 the matter of intemperance and decided that total ab- 
 stinence ought to mark the Christian profession. He 
 labored here about two years and removed to West 
 Milford, N. j. Failing health weakened him, and when 
 not able to walk he was carried to his pulpit in order to 
 speak trul}-, "as a dying man to dying men." During 
 his labor here Stanhope was supplied by this church, 
 and Jan. 11, 13 and 14, 1838, eighteen members were 
 received there.

 Conn. He left preaching by reason of paralysis, but 
 was able to teach and kept a large boarding school for 
 boys in Bloomfield, N. J., known as " Ashland Hall."

 Maine. " The confession of faith was signed by eight 
 men and the wives of six of them were voted into the 
 privileges and under the watch of the church." From 
 the foundation in 1772 to the coming of Rev. Jonathan 
 Fisher in 1793, there were twelve different ministers 
 who preached and labored with them. This Rev. Jon- 
 athan Fisher, the father of Josiah Fisher, was the fifth 
 generation from Anthony Fisher, who came over from 
 England about 1640, and settled in Dedham, Mass. 
 The grandfather of Josiah Fisher was a Lieutenant in 
 the Revolutionary Army. He died in Morristown. N. 
 J., March 16, 1777. 
 
 Rev. Jonathan Fisher, of Blue Hill, the father of 
 Josiah Fisher, was a most remarkable man. From his 
 boyhood he was noted for his mechanical skill. When 
 only 19 he taught school in his native town for three 
 dollars a month, making bird cages in his leisure hours. 
 He spent only a little more than $600 in the 7 years 
 which he passed in Cambridge, during and after his 
 connection with Harvard College. In 1796 he went to 
 Blue Hill, Maine, where he served the church 41 years. 
 During his whole mature life he read a chapter of the 
 Bible in Hebrew for his private morning devotions, and 
 read a chapter in French at family worship. His salary 
 was only $280 a year. He owned his farm and on this 
 he educated a family of 9 children, sending one son, 
 Josiah, to college. He planned his sermons while he 
 worked in the field, jotting down important thought on 
 a slip of birch bark. He invented a stenographic sys- 
 tem, compiled a Hebrew dictionary, only to find that a 
 better one was already in print, painted sign boards

 being one, he ground his paints from material in his 
 own pasture, he wrote books for young people making 
 his own wood cuts. For forty years he went without 
 an overcoat, even in the stormiest days, yet lived 
 respected and beloved to the age of 79 years. His life 
 was consecrated to his idea of usefulness ; frugality 
 was a science with him and the good of the community 
 his main object. The stamp of his piety and individ- 
 uality aided greatly in making an intelligent and intel- 
 lectual community. From such environment came the 
 honored Pastor Josiah Fisher. He graduated from 
 Bowdoin College, Maine, Sept. 3, 1822, and from the 
 Theological Seminary at Andover, Mass., Sept. 28, 1831. 
 He was licensed by the " Suffolk Association" of Bos- 
 ton, April 26, 1831. He married Oct. 2, 1832, Elizabeth 
 Davenport Fisher, born at Wilton, Conn., May 23, 1806. 
 She was the daughter of his uncle, Rev. Samitel Fisher, 
 D. D., of Paterson, N. J., the first Moderator of the New 
 vSchool General Assembly in 1838. He was born in 
 Sunderland, Mass, June 30, 1777, and died December 
 27, 1856, in the room built for him in the new parson- 
 age at Succasunna. He was buried at Paterson, N. J. 
 Elizabeth Davenport Fisher died at Succasunna Oct. 
 2/, I 71, and was buried there. A granite monument 
 from Blue Hill, in Maine, marks the resting place of 
 Rev. Josiah Fisher and his wife. They had several 
 children ; only one, James Boorman, passed the age 
 of infancy. He was born at Pa'erson, N. J., September 
 7, 1833 ; died May 20, 1889, while pastor of Presby- 
 terian Church at West Town, Orange Co., N. Y., and 
 was buried there. He graduated at Philadelphia, Feb., 
 1853, and was licensed to preach at Fredericksburg, 
 Va., in 1861 ; ordained Oct., 1862. He married July 18, 
 1 86 1, Evelyn Foster, of Philadelphia, Pa., who was born 
 Dec. 2, 1834. They had children : [a) ^lary Wight,

 May, 1867 — Feb., 1869 ; Providence, Pa., Feb., 1869 — 
 May, 1878; Deposit, N. Y., May, 1878— March, 1881 ; 
 West Town, N. Y., March, 1 881— March, 1888. 
 
 Rev. Josiah Fisher was ordained to the pastoral 
 charge of the Congregational Church in Orono, Maine, 
 March 15, 1832. He was at Clyde, N. Y., from 1836 to 
 1 841. He was pastor of the Congregational Church at 
 Heath, Mass., from 1842 to 1846. He was associate 
 pa.stor with Rev. Samuel Fisher at Greenbush, N. Y. 
 from 1846 to 1849. He was pastor at Succasimna, N. 
 J., from September, 1850, to September, 1863- He con- 
 tinued to reside at Succasunna until the death of his 
 wife, Oct. 27, 187 1. From that date his home was with 
 his son. Rev. J. B. Fisher, at Providence, Pa. In No- 
 vember, 1S71, he took charge of the Presbyterian 
 Church at Oliphant, Pa., which he continued to supply 
 until January, 1875. He died June 17, 1875, at the res- 
 idence of his son, and was buried at Succasunna, N. J. 
 It was during his ministry at Succasunna in 1853, that 
 the church building of about 1760, 35x35, was taken 
 down, and the building, 35x50, was erected on the same 
 site ; also the parsonage of the present was built under 
 his leadership, and many days of labor by his own hand 
 were given to it, for he was a skillfiil mechanic. All 
 the subscriptions for both church and parsonage were 
 secured by his personal solicitation.

 He also supplied Berkshire Valley the gTeater part 
 of his residence in this vicinity. 
 
 XVIII. Rev. E. W. Stoddard began his ministry in 
 Succasunna May i , 1 864 ; received his call to the pastorate 
 June, 1864, and was installed June 30, 1865, by the Pres- 
 bytery of Rockaway. The years of ministerial life have 
 been as follows : Nov., 1852 — Nov., 1855 were passed in 
 Hawley, Pa.; Nov., 1855 — May, i860, in Amenia, N. Y.; 
 May. 1 860-May, 1 864, in Angelica, N. Y. ; May, 1 864, to this 
 date, 1895, at wSuccasunna, N. J. In this period of nearly 
 thirty-two years 359 members have been added to the 
 church. In 1873 twelve feet and a pulpit recess 14x7 
 were added to the church building-, increasing the seat- 
 ing capacity 40 per cent. His ancestry were Eng- 
 lish — in Nottingham — seven miles from London Bridge, 
 from 1490 to 1765. Of this family Anthony Stoddard, of 
 London, emigrated and settled in Boston, 1639. He was 
 a linen merchant. Thirteen children were born there. 
 A genealogy of Anthony Stoddard's three oldest child- 
 ren, Solomon, Samson and Simeon, gathered by E. W. 
 S., and partly covering the years 1639-1873, contains 
 twenty thousand names of these descendants. 
 
 Solomon, born Oct. 4, 1643 ; died Feb 11, 1729, was a 
 noted minister in Northampton, Mass. His daughter 
 Esther, born June 2, 1672, married Nov. 6, 1694, Rev, 
 Timothy Edwards, of East Windsor, Conn. They had 
 eleven children, ten daughters and one son — Jonathan 
 Edwards- — who was born Oct. 5, 1703, and died March 
 22, 1758. He was famous for his preaching and theo- 
 logical writings. He became President of Princeton 
 College one month before his death. His burial was 
 among the Presidents in the cemeterv at Princeton, 
 N. J. ^ 
 
 The seventh child of Rev. Solomon Stoddard was 
 Anthony, born Aug. 9. 1678; died Sept. 6, 1760. He 
 graduated at Harvard College, 1697. He settled in the 
 
Historical and Genealogical Notes. 31 
 
 ministry at Woodbury, Litchfield Co., Conn., where he 
 continued sixty years. His predecessor was there fifty 
 years, his successor forty, g-iving- that town three min- 
 isters in one hundred and fifty years. The pastor of 
 this church is four generations later — a period of one 
 hundred and forty-two years. His father was John 
 vStoddard, born at Watertown, Conn., July 15, 1794 ; 
 died Jan. 20, 1855. His mother was Merab Parker, 
 born at Cheshire, Conn., Sept, 3, 1796 ; died March 29,

 Elijah Woodward Stoddard was born April 23, 1820, at 
 Coventryville, Chenango Co., N. Y. Twenty-one years 
 were spent on the farm. At thirteen years of age he be- 
 came a Christian and united with the Church. His chosen 
 life work, a teacher, and he began at 19. Three months 
 district school in winter was the help in education of 
 those days. At the age of twenty-three he decided to 
 prepare for college. The summers of 1844-5 were spent 
 at Norwich and Oxford Academies, N.Y., the winters in 
 teaching-. On the first Monday in Sept., 1845, he started 
 for Amherst College by the most rapid conveyance — a 
 four horse stage coach one hundred and fifty miles and 
 railroad eight}' miles. Four years passed and the class 
 of thirty-two members graduated in 1849, eig^ht became 
 ministers — one of them, Julius H. Seelye, became Pres- 
 ident of Amherst College in 1876. Another was Prof. 
 William J. Rolfe, of Shakesperian fame : and still 
 another Prof. Edward Hitchcock, of Amherst Col- 
 lege. Three years were spent in Union Theological 
 Seminary ; licensed and ordained by Third Presbytery 
 of New York in 1852. The leisure hours in College and 
 in the Seminary were spent in some useful service or 
 in teaching. July 16, 1852, married Miss Eliza West 
 Concklin, daughter of Jonas W. and Eli/.a West Concklin, 
 who was born in N. Y. City, April 26, 1829 ; died Oct. 23, 
 1874. in Succasunna, N. J. One son, George Henry,

 born in Hawley, Wayne Co., Pa., June 7, 1853 ; died 
 July 30, 1853 ; mother and son buried in Oak Hill Cem- 
 etery, Nyack, N. Y., in family plot of Jonas W. Conck- 
 lin. 
 
 Nov. 28, 1877, married Mrs. Eliza A. Stoddard, born 
 June 15, 1838, in New York city, the daughter of Geo. 
 W. and Eliza Piatt, and widow of Prof. John F. Stod- 
 dard, the mathematician. The daug-hter of Prof. J. F. 
 and Mrs. E. A. Stoddard, Eliza Piatt Stoddard, born 
 July 21, 1869, died ]\lay 19, 1886, became a member of the 
 household at the Succasunna parsonage at eight years 
 of age, and the eight years of her stay that were added 
 developed a bright, intellectual, and beautiful Christian 
 character. The Memorial Chapel standing near the 
 Presbyterian Church, erected by Mrs. E. A. Stoddard in 
 1887, is her most fitting monument. The fiowers 
 placed b}' loving hands on the little mound in God's 
 Acre, mark her resting place. So long as this Mem- 
 orial Cha])cl can do service in the worship of God, 
 it will emphasize her words, " You need Christ and 
 Christ needs vou to work for Him." " I want to do real 
 work for Christ." 
 
GLEANINGS 
 
 From tlic Aficnwon and Evening of the Anniversary 
 May ig, i^'gS- 
 
 At 2-30 p. M., after a little memorial service in the 
 chapel to mark the ninth anniversary of Linnet's going 
 away, the company went in procession to her resting 
 place, which was bordered and covered with the floral 
 tributes of the dear young people. At 3 o'clock the 
 service was resumed in the church. It was led by J. W. 
 Hulse, the youngest member of the present session. 
 
 Mr. E. J. Ross, of Dover, made the first address. We 
 regret that one brief portion only can be given. He 
 said: " That which most impresses me is the age of this 
 church. I would have said it is about 80 years. When 
 I see an aged church this comes to me, what an oppor- 
 tunity for good has come to that church. When I see 
 an aged minister, I say what a blessing he must have 
 been for so many years holding' up the glorious Gospel. 
 He is showing them the best way of living. An aged 
 friend of mine was specially social with his children 
 and an earnest Christian. After he was gone I said to 
 one of the children, ' How do vou get on without vour 
 
34 (JleaJiiuLis. 
 
 father ?' The answer came, ' We cannot help getting 
 on. When any plan is before lis we sit down together 
 and ask, How would father wish us to do ?" It is the 
 wisdom of the aged granted to the younger, the wisdom 
 of the fathers granted to the children. So it is with 
 this grand old church. Pastors have come, congrega- 
 tions have come and gone, but the word of the Lord 
 abideth forever. The Church of this day is living on 
 the fruits of the forefathers, and this Church is to live 
 and bring forth fruit in old age." 
 
 Dr. I. W. Condit, of Dover, was the second speaker. 
 He said : " This is the place of my birth. I began 
 churchgoing here at about four years, and while I lived 
 with my father we always attended church on the wSab- 
 bath. The first Sabbath school I recollected was or- 
 ganized by Rev. Jacob Green, and I think he baptized 
 me. Sabbath school was held only in Summer months. 
 We learned verses from the Bible and recited them. 
 My brother received a Bible as a reward, w^hich I well 
 remember. 
 
 In April, 1842, I came from school to spend the sum- 
 mer. At the organizing of the school I was requested 
 to act as Superintendent. The line of study was the 
 Union Question Book and the Shorter Catechism. In 
 October we had a review of the summer's work. I gave 
 out forty-two Bibles to scholars who had committed 
 the whole of it to memory and twenty-two Testaments 
 to those who committed to memory a definite portion. 
 I could name some of those "scholars, and one of them, 
 Marcus Meeker, is now looking me in the face. 
 
 In those days this congregation covered a great deal 
 more ground than it does now. The people of Flanders 
 and Ironia and Mt. Freedom, Mine Hill, Mill Brook, 
 Berkshire Valley and Stanhope worshipped here. The 
 street here was filled with horses and wagons, and I 
 recall one yoke of oxen that used to come. 
 
(ilcaiiini^s. 35. 
 
 ' I remember the old church building- well, but not 
 as it was first used. Then they had boxes and boards 
 for temporary seats. A soundin«^ board was over the 
 pulpit Then they laid a floor and put in square up- 
 right pews with doors. Then the sounding board was 
 removed, and one of the panels of that sounding board 
 for a long time covered my mother's cream pot. 
 
 " But the times change, and the buildings change, 
 but this thing- does not change. The boy is the father 
 of the man. Remember that, I want you to take in 
 all that it means. If the boy is a good boy, if he is gov- 
 erned by right motives, the man will be right. If the 
 boy is a Christian the man will be a Christian. Now, 
 what benefit has the Sabbath school been to me ? 
 What has family instruction done for me ? I want to 
 say to all these young people — they taught me to re- 
 spect all that is true, just, proper and right." 
 
 Mr. John McDougall, who is about eighty-four years 
 old, next spoke : " When I look over this congregation 
 I do not see one person as old as I am. I have known 
 this church for years. I have seen much good work for 
 Christ done here. One question is hard to answer, 
 What of the next 139 years ? Who is going to take the 
 places of all the people and workers who are passing 
 awa}^. Of one thing I am satisfied — there is peace and 
 joy and comfort in the love of Christ. For this world 
 and the next He is the best friend we have. I notice 
 this church is alive and active in the Sunday school. 
 They have gathered the young people into the Sunday 
 school and church. Let me tell you a little story. A 
 boy about ten years old was converted and wanted to 
 join the church. His father, thinking he was too 
 young advised him to wait till he was older ; then if he 
 held out he could join. Soon after his father told him 
 to gather in the sheep and lambs, as there was going to 
 be a storm. The weakest lamb of all was left out. 
 
36 Gleanings. 
 
 His father questioned him about it. He said, " Father, 
 let us wait a while. If the little thing holds out I will 
 get it. If not, then let it go.' My belief is, take care 
 of the lambs of the flock." 
 
 Mr. J. C. Buck came next. " I have been a long time 
 in this community. I have grown with these old men, 
 and yet I feel about twenty-five years old. I have had 
 large opportunities in Sunda)- schools. I could sing and 
 I have addressed Sunday schools in Sussex and Hun- 
 terdon and Somerset and Morris counties. I was born 
 in Chester and my first attendance was at the Congre- 
 gational Church. My mother went there. I cannot 
 tell you all the customs of those times. If the children 
 had shoes they carried them till near the church or 
 school house and then put thein on. The girls braided 
 oat straw for everyday hats and rye straw for their 
 Sunday hats. This I can say, we felt just as independ- 
 ent as any young man in Succasunua at this day. One 
 thing I want to say, and I want every boy and girl not 
 to forget it : We were taught to reverence the Sabbath 
 and the Bible, and to go to Church and Sunday school. 
 C)ur next place was Mendham, then Peapack, then 
 Morristown, then Succasunna, but I was m church and 
 Sunday school in all of them, and I served as well as I 
 could. It is about forty-two years since I came here. 
 I had one of the best classes ; some are here to-day, 
 some are out West, and one is a missionary sent out by 
 this Church. I want to say this to the Church and 
 Sunda}' school : the young are the bulwark of the 
 Church and Sunday school. Honor the Sabbath and 
 keep it holy. Honor your parents and attend Church 
 and Sunday school. 
 
 Mr. Ferdinand V. Wolfe speaks : "When I was a lit- 
 tle boy my father lived near where William Corwin 
 now lives. Miss Mary Ann Corwin, now Mrs. Byram, 
 led me many times to church and Sunday school. 
 
. (ili-aniugs. 37 
 
 Among the peculiarities of that place was the pulpit 
 set up on stilts. Under the pulpit was the library. In 
 the high seats with doors the boys and girls were in 
 classes. We could not see out very much because of 
 the high partitions and doors. But many of the bright- 
 est and best days of my bo)'hood were here. We got 
 impressions and teachings we have never forgotten. 
 This was my home and when I come back here I come 
 home and I am very glad. It is a great pleasure that 
 I was invited to come here to-day. M3' hope is that 
 the children of this day and this Sunday school will 
 find the benefit that we found here many years ago. I 
 had a good praying mother and she loved this church 
 and Sunday school. Here too the Lord raised up for 
 me a dear, sweet wife. The Lord has taken them both 
 and by and by He will take me to join them." 
 
 In the evening letters were read from the absent, 
 and by a singular coincidence just as the message from 
 Mrs. E. Durham was being read, in her distant home 
 in Lebanon, Pa., she was passing away, thus linking the 
 church below to the church above. After which Her- 
 vey Cook, Esq., one of our own young men,, came back 
 Avith gleanings from contemporaneous histor}' that 
 showed the student and the scholar, as well as the man. 
 The discourse was of profound interest and full of 
 instruction. Next followed the address of Mr. Frank 
 Merchant, which alluded to his early acquaintance with 
 the pastor and recalled some very happy reminiscences. 
 
 Mrs. McDowell, a daughter of Rev. E. A. Osborne, 
 gave a word of greeting. Rev. Mr. Hampton, of the 
 M. E. Church, brought congratulations and hoped that 
 the excellent things that characterized this church 
 might also characterize his own church. 
 
 On Monday evening a reception was given by the 
 pastor and the session assisted by the ladies. Miss 
 Peddie, of Newark, standing on one side of Dr. Stod- 
 
3^^ Ghamngs. 
 
 dard to represent our Linnet, and Mrs. ]\lcDowell, the 
 daughter of a former pastor, and Miss Gary, an hon- 
 ored teacher of the earlier days, on the other side. A 
 picture of the first pastor. Rev. William Woodhull, hung- 
 close behind and justly received a great deal of atten- 
 tion and appreciation. After an hour of social inter- 
 course and refreshments, the choir rendered some fine 
 music, assisted by Mrs. Horton and Mrs. Dayton De- 
 Camp. jMiss Belle Corwin gave a recitation on the 
 " Blue and the Gray,'' and a prayer by Dr. Spencer, of 
 the Ledge wood Baptist Church, closed and crowned the 
 delightful evening. 
 
 On Tuesday from 4 to 7 p. m. a reception was given 
 to the vSunday school, Mission Band, Boys' Brigade and 
 Junior Endeavor. Miss Louise Wiggms, who has been 
 for more than twenty years the teacher of the infant 
 class, received with the pastor. The guests were then 
 entertained by music and a sight of the curious relics 
 gathered on the platform of the church, including the 
 foot stoves of the olden times and a bench from the 
 Friend's meeting house, at least one hundred years 
 old, a picture of Christ teaching in the temple that is 
 five hundred years old, a drum that served at Bunker 
 Hill in the Revolutionary war, pictures, vases, candle 
 sticks, mortars, pictures worked in silk, ancient books 
 and chairs, the study chair of Rev. Fordham and the 
 brass kettle from which his tea was made. After a 
 sight of these and other interesting and curious relics 
 the company returned to the chapel and were served 
 in the dining room. On the centre table was a large 
 cake containing the names of all the pastors and the 
 supplies of the one hundred and thirty-nine years with 
 the dates 1756 and 1895 ^^^^^ Succastmna Presbyterian 
 Church, the lettering in deep pink on a white icing. 
 Old-time candle sticks gave the lights and from the old 
 time memories came much to cheer. The Reunion and 
 
(J/(tt)ll>l<^S. 
 
 39 
 
 Review has been full of instruction and enjoyment, 
 and we trust the Reunion and Review of the next one 
 hundred and thirty-ninth year may be as profitable to 
 those who shall take up our work in this honored 
 church, while we look on from the heights above to see 
 Zion going forth, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, 
 and terrible as an armv with banners.

 rear of CJinreh. 
 
 [In that portion tying nearest the chui'ch on the right and rear, the 
 burials have been so many and not marked, that the ground cannot now 
 be ojjened without finding it has been opened before. The old church 
 of about 1700 was used for a hospital about 1778 — soldiers were buried 
 here. The stone house built by Lewis Cary about 1770, and still in use, 
 was used as a small pox hospital.]
