PUBLICATION COMMITTEE 1913 Copyright, 1914 J. Linton Engle 1000 Copies Printed by Franklin Printing Company Philadelphia a O c a (k J FOREWORD At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Haddonfield Civic Association, held January 20, 1913, was read a letter from Samuel N. Rhoads, calling attention to the fact that, although Elizabeth Haddon had come to this vicinity in 1701, in the year 1 7 13 she had built and occupied her house within the present borough limits and this was properly the two hundredth anniversary year of the founding of Haddonfield. The letter suggested that a suitable celebration commemorative of the event be arranged. In response to this letter the President named Samuel N. Rhoads and James L. Pennypacker as a Committee to consider the subject proposed, with authority to invite general co-operation and to use such measures as seemed best suited to work out an effective celebration. Acting under the authority given, the members of the Committee invited Mrs. Ephraim T. Gill, President of the Haddon Fortnightly Club, to join them. Thus was formed an initiative committee of three persons. This Committee held several conferences and, late in the Summer, invited to a general meeting a number of citizens representing the many interests and organizations of the community. This general meeting was held at The Indian King, August 30th, and effected a general official organization as shown on page 6. From that time until the conclusion of the celebration the Official Organization held meetings Thursday evenings of each week and the various Committees met on intervening afternoons and evenings. The Program Committee took the initiative, deciding upon the general character and most of the specific events of the celebration, and the other Committees, each in its field, worked enthusiastically to see that all details were properly accomplished. The Program Committee assigned the morning exercises to the care of the Society of Friends and selected the orator, the poet and the writer of the words of the Cantata. The music of the Cantata was opened to competition. The patriotic societies, churches and certain in- dividuals were invited to assume directorship of tableaux or groups of tableaux and thus co-operation and speedy action were secured. Saturday, October eighteenth, was a cloudy day with sufficient threats of rain to hold the town in suspense. Fortunately the weather proved not unfavorable, except for lack of sunshine. Early in the morning a costumed Herald on a gaily caparisoned horse announced at every street crossing the opening of the celebra- tion. Flags were flying and the town was in gala array. Visitors came pouring in by train, trolley and automobile. Among the especially invited guests were officers of various patriotic societies and of State and County historical societies. At the morning exercises the Friends Meeting-house was overflowing. By noon visitors began to assemble in the seats on the lawn of Mr. Samuel Wood, the site of the permanent home of Elizabeth Haddon. Speedily the two thousand chairs provided were all filled and still the crowds came. More than four hundred automobiles were on the ground and a conservative estimate fixes the number of persons present at about six thousand. The afternoon ceremonies began promptly at 1.30 and the elaborate program was carried through with military precision. The promptness with which hundreds of persons were moved on and off the scene was remarkable. The tableaux were beautiful and historically impressive. The literary and musical features were original and interesting. An exhibition of historic objects in Artisan's Hall had been opened the previous day and remained open to visitors until Sunday evening. The collection of old furniture, chinaware, glassware, silver, ornaments, samplers, quilts, household utensils, manuscripts and books could scarcely be duplicated in any other community of like size in the country. Crowds visited the exhibition and attended the public reception held Saturday evening in the hall. A meeting of the Official Organization, held Thursday evening, October 23d, passed upon the receipts and expenditures of the celebration and discovered a good balance in the treasury. It was determined that the ultimate use of this balance should be decided only after mature deliberation. Meanwhile it was ordered that there be published a complete record of the celebration, and a Committee was appointed to prepare and preserve such a record in printed book form, fully illustrated. One thousand copies of this book have now been published and are offered herewith to the citizens of Haddonfield and their friends. This book is a record of the celebration and in no sense a complete history of Haddonfield. As a guide to persons who desire further information about Haddonfield a carefully prepared bibliography concludes the volume. Julia B. Gill Samuel N, Rhoads J. Linton Engle George J. Bergen James L.

By Anna H. Barton. The early history of Haddonfield Monthly Meeting is so closely intervoven with the story of a little group of Friends on the banks of Newton Creek, that we are compelled to begin our narrative nearly forty years before the first meeting- house appeared in Haddonfield. In the autumn of 1681, a little company of Friends from Ireland had come to Salem, where they sojourned for the winter. The following spring, having searched up and down that portion of West New Jersey adjacent to the Delaware River and lying between Pensauken and Timber Creeks, which had been reserved for the proprietors dwelling in Ireland, they, in the language of Thomas Sharp, "at last pitched down by yt which is now called Newton Creek as ye most invitingist place to settle down by." "At which time also Robert Zane who came from the city of Dublin and had been settled in Salem four years before joined in with us." Robert Zane had already married an Indian maiden in Burlington Meeting, and on account of his familiarity with the country he was apparently the guide for the rest of the company in selecting a site for their future homes. Thomas Sharp, Mark Newbie, William Bates, Thomas Thackera, George Goldsmith, with the families of some of these men and Robert Zane from Salem made up the little colony. Thomas Sharp, in his own words, gives the "impulse that drove them across the seas." He says, "Let it be remembered, it having wrought upon ye minds of some friends that dwelt in Ireland, but such as formerly came thither from England; and a pressure having laid upon them for some years, which they could not gett from the weights of until they gave upp to leave their friends and relations there, together with a comfortable subsistence, to transport themselves and family into this wilderness part of America, and thereby expose themselves to difficulties, which, if they could have been easy where they were, in all probability might never have been met with." The sincerity of their motive is shown by the additional statement, "And immediately there was a meeting sett up at the house of Mark Newbie, and in THE TWO HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY a short time it grew and increased." As we further read, his words ring out a prophetic message through the centuries which should fall on attentive ears to-day. He says, "And that the rising generation may consider that the settle- ment of this country was directed upon an impulse by the spirits of God's people, not so much for their care and tranquility, but rather for the posterity yt should be after and that the wilderness being planted with good seed might grow and increase to the satisfaction of the good husbandman." Mark Newbie's house, where was held the first meeting, was on the north side of Newton Creek, probably near the old burial ground at what is now West Collingswood, but a little further down the stream. It was the spring of 1682 when this little gathering of perhaps twenty persons, probably in a house of logs, with floor of earth and roof of bark, met, after the simple ways of Friends, for the purpose of worshipping in Spirit and in Truth according to the dicatates of their own conscience. Only two other meetings had been established in West New Jersey, Salem in 1675 snd Burlington three years later. Here in this rude cabin on Newton's bank, while Elizabeth Haddon was a toddling infant and before William Penn had landed in Philadelphia, was laid the foundation of Haddonfield Monthly Meeting, and the first Friends' Meeting in Gloucester County, which then included the present Camden County. Two years later, Newton Friends built their first meeting-house. It too was made of logs, and Sharp says it was erected at the west end of the burial ground. It would seem a second house must have been built on or near the site of the old log meeting-house on Newton Creek as one was burned there early in the last century, but we are unable to find a record of it. The present Newton meeting- house in Camden, with which we are more or less familiar, was built about 1801. It is recorded that in 1685, through the permission of Burlington Friends, a meeting was established at the house of John Kay in connection with a similar meeting to be held at Pensauken on alternate First Days for the better accommodation of Friends in Evesham and about Pensauken and Cooper's Creeks. According to Clement's "First Settlers' in Newton Township," John Kay's house was located on a tract of land now part of a farm formerly be- longing to Joseph W. Cooper's estate, lying on the Marlton Pike, about one mile east of EUisburg and running back to the north branch of Cooper's Creek. This meeting appears to have been held there about twenty-two years. It was not until twenty-five years later that this same John Kay bought the tract of land on which now stands Evans's Mill, and removed there, so it is quite evident that this indulged meeting was held at the home nearest the present Marlton Pike. The "Evesham Friends," as they were called, included William and Eliza- beth Evans, who at one time lived in a cave near Mt. Laurel. Elizabeth was a minister and doubtless spoke at this meeting. The first Monthly Meeting was held at Newton in the autumn of 1682, and later for the better accommodation of Friends alternately at Newton and at Thomas Shackle's house, which stood on the farm now the home of Wilmer ^ aivhrru^' \ Y .

Anthony Wayne, Count Pulaski, and Lafayette were familiar figures in its streets. And along King's Highway — as though in the irony of history — marched the British army in its evacuation of Philadelphia. Major Simcoe — a British army officer — in his published journals of the campaign tells of a farmer who shot at him from ambush. The guard captured the man and Simcoe says "to punish the rebel for his effrontery I sent him to Philadelphia." But the quality of the community life was not military. The tenor of its way was the human spirit living amid simple surroundings and manifesting elements of true strength on a small theatre of action. There were no conveni- ences, no comforts, and no railroads. The village was a stopping place for the great wagon trains moving from the coast to Philadelphia. A market house for farmers stood in Main Street a little west of the Indian King. On winter afternoons the farmer boys from the surrounding country used to race horses on Main Street, not to "improve the stock" but for the pure fun of the thing. It must not be imagined that the people had no interest in the outside world. Quite to the contrary. In 1793, during the yellow fever scourge in Philadelphia, 39 THE TWO HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY the village of Haddonfield contributed 304 chickens, 330 pounds of veal, 552 pounds of mutton and beef, together with many other things for the relief of the city. "Whatever the village is the centre of, the inn is the centre of the village." Elizabeth Estaugh early opened a tavern house for the accommodation of trav- ellers. This was followed by several others, but the best known is the one bearing the name of the "Indian King." It was built by Mathias Aspden. Within its walls the Colonial legislature gathered thrice and at the last session substituted the word "state" for the word "colony" in the documents of the new common- wealth. The Committee of Public Safety also met here. Hither on pleasant days came groups of people on horseback, or hea\'y coaches drawn by deep- chested horses with outriders rolled slowly up to the door. The stable yard was filled with conveyances and grooms, the hostlers ran thither and hither. Within, the tables groaned under the game dinners, the taproom was filled with appreciative critics. From above came the scrape of the fiddle and the rythmic reverberations of young feet coupled with joyous laughter. And amid all the shadows cast by the numerous guests over the old ballroom none linger with such winsomeness as that cast by the memory of Dolly Madison. Its faint perfume is like lavender and rosemary. Needful crafts and industries multiplied as the population grew and its wants increased. The first tannery soon had a rival. The cornmill was built and the plaster mill followed. The manufacture of earthenware was one of the earliest industries, and amid changes in ownership and location the Haddonfield Pottery still survives as the oldest establishment in the town. The first store was opened in 1733 by Sarah Norris, at the corner of Potter Street and the Kings Highway. Do these simple beginnings seem insignificant beside the great mercantile interests of our day? They were the school in which those traits of commercial activity were fostered that have made our commerce world wide. Do the relics and records of their business seem petty and pro- vincial? Behind them we catch the thundering feet of great social movements that shook the world. For when Sarah Norris, the first store keeper died, she left direction for the liberation of her slaves. Back of all this ebb and flow of life we discern the predominant traits to be essentially religious, ethical, and intellectual. The varying shades of Prot- estant belief had their expression and their organization. The Friends school was established at an early date and attracted scholars from other states. Later the Grove school was built to meet the growing needs of a public school. The Haddonfield Library was founded in 1803, with nineteen subscribers. One of the most interesting relics of its history is a copy of the earliest catalogue bound fast to an old shingle for safe keeping. Whether the quality of the community life attracted men of literary tastes or whether men of a generous culture gave it the culminating touch it is hard to say. During the years there have been a goodly number of men whose contribu- tions have been worthy of note : John Estaugh who wrote "A Call to the Unfaith- ful Professors of the Truth ;" Nathaniel Evans, the author of a number of poems; Richard Snowden and his history of the Revolution in quaint Biblical style; 40 SETTLEMENT OF HADDONFIELD Stephen M. Day a writer of school books and author of a widely circulated tract, "against the traffic in spirituous liquors"; John E. Redman, a magazine writer and John Redman, the "Haddonfield bard." Local history has been fortunate in John Clement who collected a large amount of valuable material; James S. Lippincott wrote literary and scientific essays while living here ; William Pittenger rewrote his volume on "Andrews Railroad Raid" and E. H. Stokes wrote some of his poems. But greater than war, or trade, or literature, have been some lives which have moulded the community with an enduring influence. There are a few who deserve to be remembered, hot for public office, nor business capacity nor for family connection, but for sterling worth of character. Nathaniel Evans, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, subsequently a student at Oxford, was ordained an Episcopal clergyman. The volume of poems published after his death found a sale in every English colony. His piety and character made so deep an impression that men honored the man more than the poet. Stephen M. Day was master at the Friends' school, a teacher of character as well as of books; he attracted pupils even from New England, and the impress of his character on his pupils may be inferred from the fact that the founder of "Littell's Living Age" testifies to the inspiration he imparted to those who sat under him. John Van Court, a Philadelphia publisher, and bookseller, for many years proprietor of the "Ladies Garland," one of the earliest of the women's magazines, publisher of the "Haddonfield Basket," a fine type of gentleman, met reverses of fortune with high courage and gentle words. Every town owes much to its physicians. John Craig was the first doctor and he died in 1784. By far the best known and best loved was Bowman Hendry. He settled in Haddonfield in 1794, immediately after his graduation from the LIniversity of Pennsylvania. His contemporaries describe him as steadfast in purpose, high minded and an honorable man. By day and by night, in heat or in cold, if mortal man and a good horse could make a way to the scene of need no patient was disappointed. For over forty years he came and went known simply as "the doctor." He had a long circuit, reaching nearly to Egg Harbor, the country was still a wilderness of pine and cedar and much of this work must be done on horseback. Sometimes he would cover from thirty to fifty miles in a single day, and the total distance travelled is stupendous. The esteem in which he was held by the community was shown after the burning of his barn, when his neighbors turned out and immediately rebuilt it. It has been reserved for these later years to witness the finest embodiment of the spirit and ideals of this place, a life gifted by nature, trained in the school of experience, wrought upon by the spirit of God until men recognized the best in Charles Rhoads. He came to Haddonfield in his early manhood and from the beginning was recognized as a leader. He retired from business cares while there was yet a generous margin of years and strength and devoted himself to religious and philanthropic needs. Possessing a high culture, a deep spiritual nature, public interest and courageous citizenship, keen intellectual interests and broad religious sympathies he has made Haddonfield far richer for all the years to come. 41 THE TWO HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY And what has come forth from the crucible of the years? A typically American community in the best sense of the term. A place where democracy stands untarnished by great overshadowing wealth, where poverty with wolfish teeth has not done her worst, where seething social unrest has not raised its ma- terialistic cry, where the best men have dreamed and thought finds hospitality, where the moral safeguards of life are respected, where religion is honored and God is the hunger of the heart. Two hundred years have passed away and the lofty yet simple idealism of the founders is not entirely forgotten. The memories of this hour are an honor to our fathers, let us make them a joy to our children. But it is not enough simply to keep this day of commemoration, to meet on these historic grounds, to walk these shaded streets, and to conserve these ancient landmarks. It is our duty to protect these monuments from the corroding touch of indifference, and these names from the withering breath of time. It is also our responsibility to build on those foundations that were laid in frugality, industry, common friendliness, and high devotion to principle. And only as we seek to perpetuate those virtues by which they conquered, do we give worthy homage to the names we are proud to bear, and real reverence to those lives, whose examples shine like beacon lights across stormy seas of time. The former days were not better than these, and we know that the days to come will be larger in opportunity, stronger in action, and more noble in aspira- tion. Here in this place of simple trust, in these fields of gentle living and noble desires, let us kindle the undying hope that those who come after us will keep from decay and ruin these places of historic memories, and hold fast to that herit- age of faith which is the foundation of character and virtue and noble living. These things were dear to our fathers, may they be precious to our children. And unto Him who endures forever amid the perishing things of this world, who guides the feet of His children into the paths of righteousness and peace, may we leave the days to come; believing that though life may be different it will be better, though storms may break they shall not uproot, and that over our homes and our loved ones will brood the Eternal Presence that "never slumbers nor sleeps." 42 SETTLE MENT OF HADDONFIELD Poem— "HADDONFIELD." By James Lane Pennypacker. Village of pleasant lanes, Village of tree-tops where the wild birds come, Village of welcoming church-spires. Village of cheering hearth-fires, Village where the neighbor spirit reigns, Village of children. Home! Serene, on thy chosen seat. Dear mother, quaint in neckerchief and cap. Thou hast watched the passing show Of the centuries come and go. And scarce hath changed the posture of thy feet Or hands within thy lap. Joy hath filled thy heart For days of peace and industry's reward; And, when the dogs of war Came growling round thy door, Calm, thou hast stilled thy pulses' sudden start, And steadfast kept thy guard. The world's tides rising wild At Waterloo just rippled to thine ear; Philosophy's vague quest. In which men eager pressed. But roused thee to a passing wonder mild That they should doubt or fear. With thy blessing and brave goodbye. Thou hast seen thy children leave the old roof tree, In flush of manhood's youth, Some to carry truth To distant lands, and some, thy sons, to die On fields that set men free; And some to return to lay Their hands upon thy brow in speechless praise, For the stern simplicity They learned about thy knee, 43 THE TWO HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY That held them staunch along their troubled way And cheered their darkened days. Abroad are the crowds' wild cries, — "Haste, for the fight is on for creed or gain!" "Haste! For want befalls us!" "Haste! For sin appalls us!" Ah, mother, well thou knowest, century wise, God's time makes plain! 44 SETTLEMENT OF HADDONFIELD WORDS OF THE CANTATA By Grace F. Pennypacker [The music by J. W. P. has been published in another volume] 1.— THE SPIRIT OF THE PIONEER. Recitative: — "Ye shall walk in all the ways which the Lord your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess." — (Deut. V-6.) THE CONQUEST OF THE CEDAR SWAMP. Across the sea they sail — ■ The sturdy pioneers — Through forests dense to blaze the trail With faith that conquers fears. In cedar swamps their axes ringing Blend with the call of wild birds singing. Courage and power are theirs — The vanguard of the race — With will to do, with zeal that dares All obstacles to face. Through trackless wilds the path they break — A nation follows in their wake! 2.— THE SPIRIT OF ACHIEVEMENT. Recitative: — "Behold, I say unto you. Lift up your eyes and look on the fields, for they are white already to the harvest." — (St. John IV, 35.) THE WHEAT FIELD. Scatter the seed, ye tillers of the soil, With purpose strong to vision coming years! Scatter the seed, in doubt and weary toil, — Hope sees a rainbow thro' the mist of tears! The seed you scatter thus with lavish hand Fowls of the air are waiting to devour. Undaunted toil must still reclaim the land, — Hope sees a rainbow thro' the summer shower! 45 THE TWO HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY Scatter the seed! It falls in fallow ground, Let patience to her perfect work attend. The forces that in winter fields abound In God's due season will the harvest send. 3.— THE SPIRIT OF PATRIOTISM. Recitative: — "And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled : for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet." — (St. Matthew XXIV-6.) THE BUTTONWOOD TREES. Yours is the primal right to this fair land! Men come, and go, enduring for a day. Long centuries ye stood, and still ye stand As sentinels along the King's Highway! Chorus: — Your roots strike deep beneath the town's foundations, Your tops tower high above our habitations. Still thrill us with the patriot's aspirations, Old Buttonwoods along the King's Highways! A strong young bough from parent stem was torn, To find and hold its growth by blood and toil. The sturdy nation 'neath your branches born Is kin with you in claiming sacred soil! Chorus: — (as above) Beneath your spreading shade war seethed and surged; Turmoil and strife below your branches rolled! But peace and freedom from the dust emerged, And stable government itself controlled! Chorus: — (as above) 4.— THE SPIRIT OF HOME. Recitative: — "He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." — (Psalms XXIII-2, 3, 6.) 46 SETTLEMENT OF HADDONFIELD THE OLD MILL ON COOPER'S CREEK. The stream flows swift, the stream flows strong; The mill-wheels, churning ever, Drip with the sound of the same old song The bubbling mill-race carries along As it winds to the mighty river. Chorus: — And this is the song the wheels repeat: — "Loosen your sheaves from binding! Garner your corn, thresh out your wheat — The labor of harvest is now complete — The grain is ripe for the grinding!" The miller stands by the cottage door; His thoughts are turning ever To the brimming bags that hold in store The treasures of toil that will outward pour From the mill like a mighty river! Chorus: — (as above) Our sires sowed where our children reap; The husbandman lives forever. Thrift builds the home for content to keep. And love in the heart wells strong and deep, Like the tide of a mighty river! Chorus: — (as above) 5.— THE SPIRIT OF THANKSGIVING. Recitative: — "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths." — (Proverbs 111,-5, 6.) PAEAN OF PRAISE. Our fathers' God, whose cloud by day And pillar of flame by night Still led them o'er the trackless way And made their darkness bright, — Our efforts bless, direct our powers With light that for them shone! Be Thou our children's God and ours — Lead Thou us on! 47 HE TWO HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY Our fathers sowed and tilled the field — We reap where they have sown. We know not what shall be revealed — The harvests are Thine own! We bless Thee for the heritage Their prowess for us won! Thy vineyards still our powers engage- Lead Thou us on! Our fathers' God, point Thou the way! To Thee we consecrate Our lives that shall Thy Will obey For Home, for Church, for State! Secure in Thee, the future's page We do not fear to con. Giver of all our heritage — Lead Thou us on! 48 SETTLEMENT OF HADDONFIELD BIBLIOGRAPHY OF HADDONFIELD, NEW JERSEY Comprising more important Books, Pamphlets and Periodical Literature relat- ing to that Historic Village and Borough, arranged chronologically.
