Excerpt from The History of Hopewell Presbyterian Church for 175 Years From the Assigned Date of Its Organization, 1762 The people have fully cooperated and have during these years contributed from tradition, memory, and first hand knowledge, most of the data recorded. A week spent in Dr. Tenney's collee tion at Montreat, With the obliging assistance of Dr. And Mrs. Tenney and Miss Helen Cunningham, made available a wealth of material. Search in the Congressional Library, the help of Dr. R. B. Woodworth on a Visit to Union Seminary's Spence Library, correspondence, and Visits to localities, cemeteries and homes gave many details and corrections. For all such assistance thanks are given. It is hardly possible to mention the name of every person who has helped the author, and not safe to list them lest even one should be left out. Most of them are mentioned throughout the volume as suits the connection. No such name has been knowingly omitted and indebtedness to all is here acknowledged. In the matter of proper names no responsibility is assumed by the author. Although great care has been used in the desire for accuracy, there has been large opportunity for errors, particularly as to dates, in spite of exacting and tedious supervision. The records themselves vary - family Bibles, legal papers, church minutes, and old books; inscriptions and epitaphs have been taken down by voluntary - not trained - copyists, often one writ ing as another read the none-too-clear legend.

Excerpt from A History of the First Presbyterian Church, of Springfield, N. Y: Presented in a Memorial Discourse, by Recommendation of the General Assembly, July 16, 1876 Going back one hundred and fourteen years, to the year Of our Lord, 1762, we find this now beautiful township, (then a part of Cherry Valley, ) with its many comfortable habitations, its school houses and its sanctuaries, its sweet hills and cultured vales, one unbroken wilderness, a wild and romantic country in deed, t/ienfwith springs and brooks, rocks and dells, forest trees and wild mountain flowers, the charming lake calm as an infant asleep or sparkling as a gem set amid the hills. But no house of God was here, no human habitations, no cattle grazed among the pastures, no gardens or orchards Of fruits beautified a sin gle acre Of the rich soil. The wild beast was here, the fox, the bear and the panther, and the wilder red man pursued his game on the streams and amid the forests. In the year 1762, thirteen years before the war of the Revolution Opened, the first settle ments were begun, five families taking up lands, viz: that of John Kelly, Richard Ferguson and James Young in the eastern section of the town, also by Gustavus Klumph and Jacob Ty gart at the head. Of the lake. Very few were added to the num ber until after the war, though here and there a house con structed of rude logs sprang up on some hill or within some secluded vale. Cherry Valley had been occupied for twenty years; a company Of Presbyterians, originally from Scotland, but a portion of the Colony that coming in 1719 to Londonder ry in New Hampshire, emigrated hither in 1741. Rev. Samuel Dunlop was their minister. Their growth, though the town then included many Of the present surrounding towns, was very slow. In 1752, twelve years after the first settlement, there were but eight families in the place, and in 1765, twenty five years from the settlement, there were but forty families.

Excerpt from The History of the First English Presbyterian Church in Amwell The writer is aware that from the viewpoint of the stranger this History may seem to be burdened with unimportant statements. Be it so. In reply he begs to say that in its production his aim has been to aid a venerable Mother to tell the Story of her life to her children. True, multitudes of these children have obeyed the Master's call to come home; yet there are others who fondly gather within her doors for worship, while vaster numbers of her children and children's children are scattered and settled in nearly every State of the Union. From these scattered children have come to the writer, again and again, requests for just such unim portant facts (but very important to a child), as are here given. His deep regret is, that many of these requests must ever remain unanswered. Conscious of this, and other deficiencies, yet after long and persistent research, he submits this record of. Those whose memories we fondly cherish, along with this venerable Mother Church for which his affection has increased with years of de voted service, with the desire that 'it may awaken a stronger attachment to this Church of Christ, and a gladness like that of the Psalmist, when they say unto us: Let us go into the house of the Lord.

Excerpt from A History of the Life and Work of the First Presbyterian Church: Of Middletown, Ohio (Dayton Presbytery), From Its Foundation in 1819 to 1919 Can you imagine now for just a few minutes that you are living one hundred years ago? In other words, can you put yourself in the position of the few men and women who came from the New Jersey Church, at Carlisle, and Dicks Creek Church, near Blue Ball, to organize the First Presbyterian Church of Middletown - our church? Can you think of our beautiful, prosperous, happy city being a little hamlet, with not over three hundred citizens, with one small school house and two struggling churches? You must know nothing of the good roads, of the railroads, or even of the canal. You will have to make your journeys on foot or on horseback. You must know nothing of the daily newspaper. Only occasionally you will see a new pamphlet or a new book. You must think differently, dress differently, work differently, be entertained differently, than is your present custom. But you have at least one thing in common with those men and women of one hundred years ago - you can love God. and worship Him, the same as did they, and so may have the same interest in His Church. The first part of our story was written fifty years ago by Rev. Joshua L.Russell, who was the pastor of our Church at that time, and was read by him at the semi-centennial of the Church in 1870. He, no doubt, had talked with some of the founders of the Church and those who had labored for its welfare for years. This History of the First Fifty Years of the First Presbyterian Church of Middletown, Ohio, as Mr. Russell entitles it, is printed here just as it appears in the manuscript from which he read except that a few paragraphs have been added so as not to cause a break in the account of the ministry of Mr. Russell who served in the Church for about two years after the semi-centennial celebration. His manuscript is still in the possession of the Church. The writing is notably neat and legible. The ink scenes to have faded little, if any, and the paper is only slightly discolored. The story as told by Mr. Russell follows. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
