IN the year 1892, the Miles Park Presbyterian Church, feeling the urgent need of enlarged facilities for Sunday-school work,

undertook to erect a new building costing about ^8,500. With no prospect of large subscriptions, and fully sensible of the

heavy responsibility of the undertaking, but with faith in its ultimate accomplishment, the work was commenced, and the

building dedicated January 15, 1893. About $5,000 has been raised in small amounts for the payment of this building, no appeal having been made to the sister churches of the city for aid, although several voluntary subscriptions from the brethren of those churches were gratefully received.

In view of assisting to clear the building of the remaining debt of $3,500, this book was conceived and issued. That financial help will result from the project is anticipated, but at the same time the authors have harbored the secret wish, that even a larger benefit might result to the Pre.sbyterian churches of Cleve- land, through the issue of this history.

We hope that it will present to all members of our churches, a clear understanding of the growth and strength of Cleveland

Presbyterianism as a whole, as well as the responsibility for the use of the talents, intrusted to us as a denomination. While aiming, then, to help the Miles Park Presbyterian

Church, financially, our prayer is that this hand-book of information, imperfect as it may be, will be the means of binding together the churches connected with the Cleveland Presbytery in a more intelligent and consecrated union, for larger service to Him who has, heretofore, blessed our work with a large measure of success.

THE first effectual efforts to establish and sustain institutions of reli.s:ion upon the Western Reserve were made by Pres- byterians and Congregationalists, the former emigrating from Pennsylvania, and commencing settlements in the southeastern part, the latter emigrating from New England, and forming settlements in the northeastern part of the Reserve. These two religious bodies were in advance of all others.

The first two missionaries, sent into these, then western wMlds, were the Rev. William Wick, a Presbyterian from Penn- sylvania, and the Rev. Joseph Badger, a Congregationalist from New England. The Rev. William Wick came in 1799, three years after the first settlements were made at Youngstown by emigrants from Pennsylvania, and at Conneaut by New Eng- landers. He was a young minister, and preached his first sermon at Youngstown. The Rev. Jo.seph Badger came in 1800 from Massachusetts, with a commission from the Connecticut Missionary Society, as a missionary to the Western Reserve. These two men became intimate friends, and together planned the advancement of Christ's cause. Mr. Wick, together with other Presbyterian ministers, received commissions from the Congregational Misssionary Societies, but at the same time as the pioneer churches increased in number, they assumed the form of a Presbytery. The "Plan of Union" was devised, which brought the ministers and churches of both denominations together in Chris- tian effort, allowing each to retain denominational affiliations.

October 15, 1814, the Synod of Pittsburgh erected out of the Presbytery of Hartford, the Presbytery of Grand River, which was to occupy the \\hole of the Western Reserve, with the exception of ten towns in the southea.stern part. At the Euclid Church (now Ea.st Cleveland) this new Presbytery met November 8, 1814. Three ministers. Revs. Joseph Badger, Giles H. Covvles and

Thomas Barr were present, also two lay delegates, Elder J. Ruple lO HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBYTERIANISM,

of the Presbyterian Church in Euclid, and Deacon M. Cook, of the Burton Congregational Church. The Rev. Simeon Wood- ruff was examined and admitted to membership in this new Presbytery.

At Burton, February 14, 18 15, a Confession of Faith was adopted for the churches, under the care of this Presbytery. That year seven ministers and eight churches were reported to the General Assembly. The ministers were Revs. Badger, Barr, Cowles, Seward, Coe, Woodruff, and Hanford ; the churches, those at Austinburgh, Euclid, Aurora, Hudson, Mantua, Nelson, Burton and Rootstown, with a membership of two hundred and thirty-nine. The next two years the ministers who were admitted to the Presbytery were Revs. J. Leslie, L. Hum- phrey, C. Pitkin, J. Treat and A. Coe. The increase of churches was larger, those at Harpersfield, Tallmadge, Vernon, Sharon, Painesville, Hambden, Greene, Johnston, Williamsfield, Dover, Madison, Kingsville, Ashtabula, Brecksville, Branfield, Bloom- field, Streetsboro, Stowe, and Harrisville, being added.

In October of 18 18, the S5'nod of Pittsburgh made the Presbytery of Portage a part of the Grand River Presbytery.

This new body held its first meeting at Hudson, December 8, 18 18. Five years later, in 1823, the Presbytery of Huron was formed to occupy all the territory west of Cuyahoga and Portage counties, to the west line of the state. At Hudson, September 27, 1825, according to an act of the General Assembly, the Synod of the Western Reserve was organized, embracing the Presbyteries of Grand River, Portage and Huron. The Rev. Joseph Badger preached the opening sermon " from the text : We preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord." Thirty-three ministers constituted this Synod. During the month of May, 1827, the General Assembly created a new Presbytery, that of Detroit, to occupy the whole territory of Michigan. This new Presbytery was attached to the Synod of the Western Reserve. In the following September, at its meeting in Nelson, the Synod created the Presbytery of Trumbull, out of the Presbytery of Grand River. Thus the Synod of Western Reserve, at this time, embraced the five Presbyteries of Grand River, Portage,

Huron, Detroit, and Trumbull. At its meeting, held in Euclid, HISTORY OF THE CLEVELAND PRESBYTERY. II

October 6, 1S30, this Synod organized the Presbytery of Cleve- land, out of the counties of Cuyahoga, Lorain, and Medina, with their ministers and churches. The ministers, who were charter members of this new Cleveland Presbytery, were Joseph Edwards, Simeon Woodruff, Israel Shailer, Stephen V. Barnes, Alfred H. Betts, Daniel W. Lathrop, John McCrea, Stephen Peet, Harvey Lyon, and Joel Talcott. The Cleveland Presbytery held its first meeting at Dover, October 26, 1830. The Rev. Joseph Edwards, who was appointed to preside at the organization, was absent, and his place was taken by Rev. Simeon Woodruff, senior minister present. The twenty-four congregations, which composed the Cleveland Presbytery at its organization, were those of Dover, Avon, Strong.sville, Sheffield, Medina, Brun.swick, Brownhelm, Brecks- ville, Brooklyn, Granger, Bath, Westfield, Euclid, Elyria, Ridge- ville, W'ellington, Wadsworth, Richfield, Cleveland, Penfield, Harrisville, Hinckley, Columbia, and Guilford. At a meeting of the Western Reserve Synod, held in Cleve- land in 1836, two new Presbyteries were created out of the Presbytery of Cleveland, namely: those of Lorain and Medina, including all the ministers and churches in those counties. Thus in the growth of Christian work, the Presbytery of Cleveland was reduced to the geographical limits of Cuyahoga County, and remained within these bounds twenty- seven years. In 1863, the Synod annexed the Presbytery of Portage to that of Cleveland, thus adding fourteen ministers and six churches. In 1866, the Presbytery of Elyria was dissolved, and part of its ministers and churches added to the Presbytery of Cleveland and Portage, and in about this form the Presbytery of Cleveland and Portage remained, until the Reconstruction, or Reunion of the Old and New School branches of the church in 1870. At that time, most of the territory of old Portage was dropped, and there was added the Old School Presbytery of Western Reserve, which had occupied the same territory, and the Presbytery of Grand River, thus adding eight ministers, and

the following churches to the Cleveland Presbyter3% namely : Nottingham, Rome, Orwell, Northfield, Bedford, Ashtabula, Kingsville, Guilford, Lafayette, and Springfield. Many of the churches, mentioned in the development of 12 HISTORY OF CLEVEI.AND PRESBYTERIANISM.

religious work in the vicinity of Cleveland, were organized as Congregational churches, but united with the Presbytery and Synod under the "Plan of Union," which was approved by the Congregational churches of New England, and by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, but this "Plan of Union," under which the churches seemed to enjoy great prosperity, was dissolved. The first step which caused this dissolution, was the attitude taken by the Presbyterian Church, in general, toward the Congregationalists. The Presbyterians of the Western Reserve continued to labor in loving union with their brethren, the Congregationalists, and in other parts of the Pres- byterian Church there was little sympathy with the crusade, which arose against Congregationalism. In a portion of the Presbyterian Church, however, there arose a war upon doctrinal errors, which were said to exist exclusivelj^ in regions, where the Congregational element abounded. This war upon New England Congregationalism was well adapted to weaken the fraternal feeling, which had prevailed upon the Western Reserve. The final action of the Presbyterian General Assembly, in ex- scinding, in 1833, four Presbyterian Synods, which were sus- pected of New England heresy, thus forming the Old and New School Presbyterian Churches, was well calculated to lead Con-

gregationalists to think that it was time to look out for themselves. Strong denominational spirit arose on both sides. Then there were some Congregational churches that had not connected themselves with the Presbytery. They were wholly independent of any association. It was thought desirable to look after such churches, and to form some bond of union among them. Thus Congregational Conferences and Associations were formed, and the churches, that had enjoyed a most fraternal union in Christian work, began to assume strictly denominational

life. All efforts, made to heal, seemed only to widen the breach, and many other things arose to cause great disturbance in the church life of that period, immediately following the abrogation of the " Plan of Union." This state of things was aggravated by the slavery discussion. In all ecclesiastical gatherings, time formally given to councils and measures for the advancement of practical church work, was now occupied by the most heated debate. 3

HISTORY OF THE CLEVELAND PRE.SBYTERY. 1

In connection with the slaverj- discussion, there arose bitter infidel attacks, and discussions on temperance. Pe- culiar " Oberlin Views," or the doctrine of Christian Perfec- tion next arose, and this discussion was pressed with a spirit that evidently ])roved the imperfection of the advocates. Last of all " Millerism " stirred up the churches. Many professing Chris- tians were so carried away with the excitement, that they pledged themselves to give up the Bible and all faith, if their calculations regarding the Second Coming of Christ proved erroneous. The churches, which had walked together in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, and which had been greatly multiplied, were thus brought into a period strife of and contention ; but finally all seems to have been overruled for good. The churches, once under a "Plan of Union," now form the basis of two strong denominations, and peace and good works characterize the Presby- terian and Congregational Churches of Northern Ohio. In the smaller places where one exists, the other does not seek to go, while in the city the field is large enough for the utmost en- deavors of both denominations, the only provocation being that unto love and good works. Cbaracter of glevelana Presbyterlanism/

OF Cleveland Presbyterianism it may be said that it was from the beginning New Englandized, and then recruited from New York rather than from Pennsylvania. In type of theo-

logical belief, then, it has always been liberal, but at the same time evangelical and fairly aggressive, as seen in its missionary spirit. The network of churches now numbers seventeen, counting the East Cleveland, Windermere, and Glenville Churches, which are out of the city only by a narrow bound. The aggre- gate membership of these churches is about 6,500. All the congregations are housed in admirable buildings, and the value

of the property is fully $1,000,000. These churches furnish sit- tings for about 10,000 worshipers, while in the Sunday-schools there are 6,500 scholars. The reported charities of the churches for the year 1895 their expenses, in part for amounted to $342,754 ; congregational new buildings, amounted to $120,218—a total of $462,972. Is

it a wonder that in the church at large there is the title given us, "Mission L,oving Cleveland?" From 1876 to 1896 the Presby- terian Church of Cleveland trebled in numbers, while the population of the city doubled. In all the undenominational works of charity Cleveland Presbyterians take a conspicuous part. To the various Christian Associations, Friendly Inns, Kindergartens, Nurseries and Hospitals, Presbyterians give hearty support. The Home for Aged Women, the Children's Aid Society Farm, Home, and Chapel, the Infants' Rest, the Lend-a-Hand Mission building, and two Day Nurseries, are exclusively the gifts of Presby- terians and their affiliations. In educational matters the record of Cleveland Presbyterians is admirable. Western Reserve College, now Adelbert College of Western Reserve University, although not a denominational institution, has received, from the beginning of its existence at Hudson, the support of Cleveland Presbyterians. The Old College Church was a Plan of Union Church under the care of

the Cleveland Presbytery until it was disbanded in 1882, when the college was removed to Cleveland. Four of the six Presi- dents of the institution were Presbyterians : Presidents Pierce, Hitchcock, Cutler, and Haydn.

Presbyterian money has gone in large sums to this institution, and Mr. Amasa vStone, whose munificent gifts brought the college to Cleveland, where it now thrives, was a trustee of the First

Church. It is not claimed that Leonard Case, the founder of Case School of Applied vScience, was a Presbyterian, but he was the personal friend of Dr. Goodrich, and a pew-holder to the day Western Reserve College, Hudson, O.

of his death in the First Church. Mr. J. L. Woods, who did so much for the Western Reserve Medical School, was a Trustee of the First Church. Mr. James F. Clark, Mr. George M3'gatt, Mrs. Mather, Mrs. John Hay, Mrs. James Clark, Mrs. F. T. Backus, Col. John Hay and W. S. Tyler, Esq., are names of those affiliated in one way or another with the Old Stone or First Church, and from these persons have come the gifts which are making Cleveland such a leading educational center to-day. In the past seventeen years these persons have given over $3,000,000 to educational purposes. Besides these are Mr. H. B. Hurlbut, munificent patron of

art, hospitals and education ; Mr. E. I. Baldwin, Mr. T. P. Handy, Mr. Dan P. Eells, Mr. T. D. Crocker of the Second

Church ; and Mr. Joseph Perkins, Mr. H. R. Hatch and Miss Anne Walworth of the Euclid Avenue Church, recognized among the large donors and life-long friends of education. A host of others are worthy of honorable mention. Oberlin College must have received from Cleveland Presbyterians about $150,000. Eane Seminary, Berea, Hampton and other Southern institutions have had generous remembrance. Great as the past may seem in this direction of educational and charitable work, the promise of the future is that of greater things. The work of Cleveland Presbyterians cannot be judged simply by its denominational statistics, but in addition to these, there is the broader work which tends toward the establishment of the kingdom of God in the Citv of Cleveland.

Cbe Presbyterian Union.

ON the evening of November 13, 1869, a meeting was held in the chapel of the Westminster Church to consider the extension of Presbyterianism in the City of Cleveland. The Pastors and Elders of the First, Second, Euclid Street and Westminster Churches were present. After di.scussing the field, a committee was appointed consisting of Mes.srs. R. F. Smith, J. B. Meriam, S. ly. Severance and C. S. Bragg, to look over the city and to report at a future meeting. At the next meeting held December 10, 1869, this committee reported three fields as inviting, namely: Case Avenue, Woodland Avenue and the West Side. A committee consisting of Dr. Lj'nian, and Messrs. Bragg and vSmith was appointed to draft a constitution, and Mr. J. B. Meriam was appointed Treasurer. The meeting adjourned to convene the second Monday in January, 1870. At that meeting, held in the Westminster Churcli, January 10, 1870, sixteen members were 20 HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBYTERIANISM. present. Rev. James Eells, D.D., was called to the chair, and R. F Smith, Esq., was appointed Secretary pro tern. The committee, appointed to draw up a constitution, brought in Articles of Association of the Cleveland Presbyterian Union.

The second year Dr. Eells became President, and Rev. E. B. Raffensperger was elected Vice-President. The third year Mr, Raffcnsperger became President of the ITnion, and in 1873 Mr. T. P. Handy was elected to that office. Dr. Haydn then served as President for two years, and in 1875 Mr. Handy again became President, which office he held to the delight of the whole church until 1893, "vvhen, feeling compelled to relinquish the duties of that office, he was made President Emeritus, and Mr. E. H. Sever- ance was elected President. Among those who have served the Union, we find as Vice-

Presidents : Mr. T. P. Handy, Hon. G. H. Ely, Mr. Dan P. Eells, Rev. F. A. Horton, D.D., Dr. Haydn, Dr. Mitchell, Dr. W. V. W. Davis, Dr. Spining, Dr. Bushnell, Mr. R. F. Smith and Mr. S. P. Fenn. The Secretaries have been : Mr. Dan P.

For Cal- vary, Bolton and Madison Avenue Churches no subscription was THE PRESBYTERIAN UNION. 25 circulated outside of the First Churcli, with the exception that in the North Church some money was raised for Madison Ave- nue. The l^nion is aiming- to extend its membership to inchide all members of the churches, nevertheless its meetings are attended, as in the earlier days, mainly by the officers of the churches, but the denomination has so grown, that these alone make large and interesting meetings. Under its ]>resent form of organization the future of the Union cannot but be one of great power in the upbuilding of Chri.'^t's kingdom, through the extension of Presbyterian Churches in the city of Cleveland. The

officers at present are as follows : President, Mr. L- H. Severance; President Emeritus, Hon.

of minutes, the first of which is lost, owing to the death of the original Secretary, Rev. An.son Smyth, D.D. The writer re- gards himself as one of the char-

ter members of the Club, but it is impossible to give the exact date when the organization occurred. He remembers to have attended Rev. E. Bushnell, D.D. some of the early gatherings as long ago as the Spring of 1881. The objects of the Club have been social, literary and spiritual. The several pastors living in or near the city felt the need of personal touch, each with the other, and in a less formal manner than at the occasional gatherings of the Presbytery. Nor did the meetings of the City Ministers' Union .serve exactly the purposes contemplated. They desired to know one another intimately as brothers in a great denomination, to come together in one another's homes, to dine together, to discuss matters of common interest, and to gather inspiration in a common toil. It was early decided that, in order to avoid publicity and to enjoy the greatest freedom of opinion and of;;^debate, the almost omni- present reporter shovild be excluded from the Club meetings. At the date to which we refer, scarcely a single church had the same pastor that it has to-da}', although the entire membership of the Club has not changed. Dr. Smyth, whom we have mentioned, although well along in years, was supplying churches as occasion required. Dr. THE PRESBYTERIAN CLUB. 27

Eleroy Curtis was in the church at Ncwburgh, while Dr. Arthur Mitchell had just entered upon his pastorate at the Stone Church. Dr. McGiffert had even then been man}' years at Ashtabula, where he yet remains and occasionally attends the meeting.s of the Club. Rev. J. Lovejoy Robertson ministered to the Kuclid Avenue Church, and Dr. Gaston had just entered upon his pastorate of the North Church. Dr. Pomeroy was in the Second Church, and was one of the most active at the beginning in j)ushing the organization. The Woodland Avenue Church had just called Dr. Spining, while Francis A. Horton was the zealous pastor of the young Case Avenue Church. From Hudson came Rev. T. Y. Gardner, who has recently rejoined the Club as pastor of the Glenville Church. President Carroll Cutler, of Western Reserve University, was generally present with us, and enter- tained us at his home. The church in East Cleveland, then called Collamer, was ministered unto by the Rev. Robert D. Scott, while our good friend Rollo Ogdeu was conducting affairs at Calvary Chapel. A licentiate of the Presbytery, W. W. Gist, sometimes came from his charge at Wickliffe. Revs. Peter

Kimball, Milton A. Sackett, Henry B. Eldred, Dr. J. G. Hall,

J. B. Allen, and J. A. Seymour, were also early members, and two of these brethren are yet with us. Rev. John H. Jones, of the First Church of Akron, occasionally came to the meetings. These, besides the writer, composed the Club in those days.

At the meetings of the Club, it is the custom to have a paper read by one of the members, appointed a month in advance. This follows the regular routine business and devotional exercises, and is itself followed by a more or less spirited discussion, it being often difficult to limit the same to the five minutes allotted to each member. As the discussion moves slowly around the room, it seems only to gather in animation interest and ; but the dining hour is the end of the intellectual contest, and the brethren then gather about the tables. After dinner the members disperse, only anxious for Luna to roll the month around. The meetings from the beginning have been held on the first Monday of the month.

The entertainment has always been provided ])y each of the brethren in turn, the host of the day sending out the invitations and prograni a few days preceeding each gathering. In the 28 HISTORY OF CLEVEI.AND PRESBYTERIANISM. early da3'S of the Club, the social features of the gathering were more prominent than of later years. The brother entertaining formerly invited the Club to his home. Thus we were accus- tomed to meet, with some degree of regularity, one another's wives; but the meetings increasing in size and proving more and more a burden to the good housewife, the entertainers have gradually settled into the custom of receiving the Club at the Forest City House.

In the early eighties, Dr. Pomeroy was an adept amateur photographer. At a meeting of the Club, held at the home of Rev. F. A. Horton on Sibley street, Dr. Pomeroy took the above picture of the Club, the members being grouped on the lawn at the northeast corner of the pastor's residence. Counting the Doctor himself, we made thirteen. Five of the group have already passed over the river, and there they form a saintly company. THE PRESBYTERIAN I'NION. 29

Seated in chairs in front of these are Jones, Mitchell, Hall, Kldred, and Curtis. The present Secre- tary has a lower seat in front of Dr. Hall. The minutes of the first meeting in the second vcjluine may be interesting. They are in the handwriting of our jolliest

Dr. John G. Hall was made the Secretary at the May meeting of 1887, and he served until January, 1892, when the present Secretary was elected. Dr. Bushuell became the Moderator of 30 HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBVTERIANISM. the Club in January, 1887, and has serv^ed since that time.

earl}' years of its existence. Rev. Samuel Hatchings, who supplied the First Church one j-ear, and his young wife went to Ceylon. Miss Sarah Van Tine married Dr. Adams, and went to Natal, Africa. Miss Kate Jennings married Rev. Mr. Parsons, and went to Armenia.

As other churches were formed the meetings were continued, letters were read from the Foreign Field, and busy fingers prepared boxes of clothing for the missionaries " The memory of this Society is numbered among the most cherished recollec- tions of Cleveland's early history." Of those venerable women, the founders of this "Parlor Missionary Society," but few remain, but their names are cherished by those who have taken up their pioneer work. Among them were Mrs. Gaylord, Mrs. Lathrop, Mrs. Starkweather, Mrs. Weddell, Mrs. Kelsey, Mrs.

Shepard, Mrs. Foot, Mrs. Benedict, and many others ; while of the living, Mrs. Severance, Mrs. Converse and many others, bear witness to the zeal and inspiration which that time-honored Foreign Missionary Societ}' awakened in the women of Cleve- land forty years ago.

With some regret its members saw the dissolution of their old Society, but gave their cordial support to the new one, which the needs of the work, and the growing city required. Mrs.

Mary H. Severance was elected President of the new Society ; Mrs. George H. Ely and Mrs. E. H. Huntington, Vice-Presi- Walworth, Treasurer, and Mrs. H. G. Ham- dents ; Miss Anne mond, Secretary. Upon the Executive Committee were Mrs. H. C. Haydn, Mrs. Samuel Williamson, Mrs. H. R. Hoisington, Miss Mary E. Ingersoll and Miss Julia Haskell.

At the first annual meeting of this Society, the First, Second, Euclid Avenue, Woodland i\venue and North Presbyterian Churches are reported among the contributors, while "The Little Rill Band " of the First Church, and the " Ladies' Parlor Missionary Society" are credited with contributions. The receipts for the first year were $1,033. Of this amount $500 was sent to aid in the purchase of a building in Woodstock, India, to be used for a school for the children of missionaries, .sent and as a health resort for their parents ; $45 was to support a pupil in Sidon, Syria, and $300 was given to the general fund woman's presbytp:rial societies. 33 of the Woman's Foreign Missionar}- Societ}- of the Presbyterian Church.

At this first annual meeting the Rev. J. A. Skinner, pastor of the Case Avenue Church, proposed a change of "name and scope" of the Societj-, which should make it strictly a Presby- terial organization, and more in harmony with the existing methods of the Board of P'oreign Missions. It was decided to effect constitution and committee this change ; a was adopted a was appointed to nominate oflBcers under its provisions. Mrs. Mary H. Severance, who had so acceptably filled the office of President of the existing Society, declined to continue in office, much to the regret of its members. The officers were as follows:

President, Mrs. E. H. Huntington ; Vice-Presidents, Mrs. J. N.

McGift'ert and Mrs. Eleroy Curtis ; Corresponding Secretary,

Mrs. H. G. Hammond ; Recording Secretary, Miss Mary Otis ; Treasurer, Mrs. A. H. Potter. The Society's first work was the support of Miss Mary P. Dascomb, in Paulo, Brazil, and an appropriation of $500 for missionary work in Mexico City. It was also voted to assume the support of a missionary to Ningpo, China, whenever one should offer. During the first year Mrs. Hammond resigned her office as Corresponding Secretar)', and Miss Julia Ha.skell was elected to the office, which position she has filled to the present time. Miss Otis was succeeded by Mrs. H. S. Adams, as Record- ing Secretary, which office she tilled until 1883, when her removal from the city compelled her to resign.

During the earlier years of the Society, quarterly meetings were held in connection with the meetings of Presbytery. The first occurred December 10, 1873, in Elyria. The Elyria Con- gregational Church was then connected with the Cleveland Presbytery, and much strength was given to the mission work by such experienced workers as Mrs. E. DeWitt and Mrs. Heman Ely. In order to bring the fiscal year of the Society into harmony with

that of the Board of Foreign Missions, it was decided to hold the first annual meeting in April, 1874, at the Westminster Church. Twenty-one societies reported at that meeting. The minutes record that Miss Closson of Turkey addressed the meeting; that Mrs. S. L. Severance gave a paper on Brazil, and Miss Metcalf of Hudson, Mrs. McGiffert of Ashtabula, Mrs. DeWitt of Elyria, 34 HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBYTERIANISM. and Mrs. Cutler of Hudson, followed with addresses. In the evening, at the popular meeting held in connection with the Presbytery, Mrs. Dr. Haydn gave a paper on Mexico, followed by one from Mrs. McGiffert on China. In May of that year, Miss Sellers was accepted as the missionary of the Cleveland Presbyterial Society, and her outfit prepared by the different auxiliaries. In the autumn she went to Ningpo, China, but only for a short time was she permitted to work. Her health failed, and in 1876 she returned to America. Miss Dascomb, too, was compelled to return home to care for her parents, who were in infirm health. Miss Belle Marsh offered herself about this time, and the Society gladly adopted her as its missionary in Yokohama, Japan. Three years later Miss Marsh became the wife of a Baptist missionary and withdrew from the Presbyterian Board in 1878. Miss Fullerton went to Wood- stock, India, as teacher of missionary children and those of Eurasian parentage. The Cleveland Presbyterial Society assumed her support, which was continued until her return home in 1888 to care for her aged mother. Miss Bessie Nelson, daughter of Dr. Nelson, editor of "Our Church at Home and Abroad," was adopted by the Society in 1S80, and soon after going to Syria she became the wife of Rev. W. K. Eddy of Sidon, where she is still teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ through the influence of her home life, as wife and mother. During this year four scholarships were assumed in Brazil, at $100 each, and Miss Annie Johnson of Cleveland was accepted by the Society as its missionary. She became the wife of Rev.

J. H. Eaughlin, and went to China, but her brief, beautiful life soon closed, and in October, 1884, she was called to her heavenh' reward, leaving the Society with only Mrs. Eddy as its missionary for several years, while it continued to pay to the general fund of the Board the larger part of its receipts. School work in Canton, under Miss Hattie Noyes, has always been sustained, besides the support of Bible-readers, schools, teachers and scholarships, in almost every country where Pre.sbyterian missions have been established. The year 1880 will always be remembered for the grand thank-offering, with which the Cleveland Presbyterial Society went in its own chartered car to Cincinnati to the decennial Mrs. E. Bushnell.

In 1885 it was decided to hold annual and semi- annual meetings only : the annual meeting to be held in

Cleveland in April of each year ; the semi-annual meeting in October in different parts of the Presbytery, upon invitation of the various auxiliaries. During the autumn of 1893, Mrs. Mary Schauffler Labaree went from Cleveland, where her father, Dr. SchauiHer, resides, to Oroomiah, Persia, and to the great joy of the Cleveland Presbyterial Society, Mrs. Dabaree became its missionary. Her bright, interesting letters awaken much interest in her personally, and make her support a privilege to be coveted. Of the Mission Bands under the care of this Society, perhaps the oldest is the "Band of Youthful Helpers" in the North Church, organized by the venerable Mrs. Hoisington, even before this Presbyterial Society existed. The present number of Mission Bands is fourteen, but seventeen Christian Endeavor Societies give their missionary offerings through this Society. These societies, with a membership of over 900, have largely taken the place of the former Young Peoples' Societies and the Mission Bands. There are now twenty-eight auxiliary societies connected with this Presbyterial Society, and in the time of its existence this organization contributed more than $70,000 to the work of Foreign Missions. Among the honored women who have shared the official responsibility of the Society in former years, are the names of Mrs. Eleroy Curtis, Mrs. E. DeWitt, Mrs. Arthur Mitchell, Mrs. C. T. Chester, Miss Mary Otis, Miss Alice Crosby, Mrs. E- H. Adams, Miss Mary Evans, Miss Anna Wolcott, Mrs. John Ewart,

Mrs. J. C. Elliott, Mrs. A. H. Potter, Mrs. A. C. Miller and Mrs. D. O. Mears. Some have fallen asleep and rest from their labors, while others are still active in mission work in other places. Mrs. A. H. Potter, the Society's first and only Treasurer, was suddenly called to her reward on the morning of January i, 1894, after twenty-one years of faithful service. Mrs. C. W. Monroe was appointed to the office the following April. Mrs. A. C. Miller, who succeeded Mrs. Adams as Recording Secretary in WOMAN S PKESBVTERIAL SOCIETIES. 37

1883, continued in that office until 188S, when her removal from the city caused her to resign. Mrs. Edward L. Day was made her successor, and continues to fill the position. In October, 1885, Mrs E.. H. Huntington, who had served as President twenty-two years, resigned, and Mrs. J. D. Chambers was

elected to that office. The present officers are as follows :

President, Mrs. J. D. Chambers; Vice Presidents, Mrs. E.

IN response to an invitation from Rev. J. N. McGiffert, D.D., chairman of the Presb3'terial Committee on Home Missions, a number of ladies, representing several churches, met in the parlors of the Euclid Avenue Presbyterian Church, on April lo,

1 88 1, and organized a Woman's Presbyterial Home Missionary

Society. The officers elected were : President, Mrs. Carroll Cutler; Vice-President, Mrs. Mary Williamson, and Mrs. D. L.

Hickok ; Recording Secretary, Miss Agnes McGiffert, and afterwards Miss L Spencer consented to act as Treasurer. The first annual meeting of this society was held in the Case Avenue Presbyterian Church. Nine of the twenty-eight churches in the Presbyter}^ were represented, only two of these, Ashtabula and Hudson, being out of the city. The membership was one hundred and eighty-five, and the amount of money rai-sed during the year was $1,307. Great help and inspiration were gained during the first year from an address by Mrs. Haines, Secretary of the Executive Committee, and an animated report, by Mrs Elliott of Seville, of the Woman's meeting held in connection with the General Assembly meeting at Springfield. It has been said by those qualified to know, that the formation of this Presbyterial Society, and its success are due to its first Synodical Committee, Mrs. E. R. Perkins. Mrs. Carroll Cut- Mrs. C. W. Monroe. Mrs. Artliur Mitchell Mrs. C. S. Ponieroy.

ler, Mrs. D. L,. Hickok, and the additional member the next year, Mrs. Dr. Spining. At the second annual meeting of the Society, held in the Miles Park Church, there was greatly increased interest and attendance. Eighteen churches reported, and a full complement of ofhcers was secured. A decided impulse was given the Society during this year, by eloquent appeals from such men as Dr. Roberts, Dr. McMillan and Rev. Sheldon Jack- son, and the object of Home Missions took mure distinct shape, in the prayers and interest of the women of the Cleveland Pres- bytery. The work has steadil}^ grown, and as one officer after another was called to lay her armor by, another was found to gird it on, for thus doeth the Lord his work.

The increase in membership and in offerings has been most marked. In the year ending^ April, 1895, 1474 members were reported, and money raised, $4,433. This Society has snpported many scholarships, paid the salaries of numerous teachers, and assisted in the building and furnishing of most of the prominent school buildings lately built on what we term our Home Mission field.

This is but a brief record of the Home Mission work and workers of the Cleveland Presbytery. There is a record of their noblest deeds, and purest motives which we are sure will add many bright gems to their crowns when they gather in the home above, as "children of the King." "And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away." Cbe Country Churches.

H E North Springfield T Presbyterian Church was

organized in 1 809, and is one of the oldest churches upon the Reserve. Three houses of worship have served the church ; the first two were log struc- tures, the third and present church is a frame building, and was erected in 1828. Rev. Joshua Beer, who moderated the meeting when the organization was effected, served the church until 181 6. From that time until 1829 there Rev. E. E. Davis. were stated supplies, but at the latter date, 1829, an exceptionally long pastorate began. The Rev. John Hughes, a recent graduate of Princeton Seminary, came as a home missionary to this field in August, 1829. He was ordained and installed pastor of the church June 16, 1830, and served until April 25, 1866, when he resigned at his own request. Mr. Hughes was of ministerial stock. His father was the first ordained and settled minister north of the Ohio river, and two of his uncles were clergymen. Three of his brothers were ministers, and his sister ^^^ married a minister. Mr. Hughes had a son who died at the close of his Semi- nary course, and three of his nephews are ministers. He was known in the region where he spent all the years of his ministerial service as "Father Hughes." After his resignation he moved to Tall- madge, and then to Newburgh, where he died March 3, 1870. Since the resigna- Rev. John Hughes. THE COUNTRY CHURCHES. 43

tiou of Father Hughes thirteen ministers have labored in this

field. The longest pastorates were those of Rev. J. E. Vance, 1876 to 1880, and Rev. H. M. Walker, 1881 to 1888. The present pastor, Rev. E. E. Davis, is doing good work in this old

church. Since the beginning of his labors, January 7, 1895, there have been large additions, and the outlook is very hopeful.

Rome Church.

Several years prior to 1808 the early Christians at Rome, without a pastor, conducted religious services. These services were held until the war of 1812. In 1816 there was a revival, but the converts united with the Con- gregational Church at Austin- burgh. May 20, 1819, the First Congregational Chuich, at Rome, was organized by Rev. Giles H. Cowles, with twelve members. The church joined the Grand River Presbytery. Before 1826 there are no records, but the Rev. Horace Palmer only pastor known as preaching between the date of organization and that date was Rev. Mr. Eeslie. The pastorates of this church have been comparatively short, and the names of those who have served the church are: Revs. Mr. Ivcslie, Randolph Stone, Giles Cowles, R. W. Childs, Charles Danforth, H. Blodgett, Mr. Spier, Urban Palmer, F. H. Deming, Alanson Sanders, Franklin Arnold, William Millikin, Franklin McGinuis, Henry Farwell, William Kain, D. M. Hazlett, A. B. Maxwell, and Artemas Williams. The present

pastor, Rev. Horace Palmer, began his work October i, 1893, and twenty-one members have been added to the church during his two years of service. Ashtabula Church. The First Presbyterian Church, of Ashtabula, was organized

Augustus Ponieroy was installed as the first pastor, and remained until 1852. Rev.

J. M. Gillett was pastor from ,^ 1853 to 1865. The present pastor. Rev. Joseph N. McGiffert, D.D., was installed in 1866, and is in his thirtieth year of service. The early organization of the church was Congregational, under the care of the Presbytery of Grand River. In 1850 the Presbyterian order and discipline were adopted, and elders selected and ordained The first church edifice was dedicated in June, 1836.

The Sunday School numbers about 350, and the Y. P. S. C. E. 100. The organization of the church consists of nine ruling elders, one of these, J. P. Robertson, Esq., having held the office since the adoption of the Presbyterian order, forty-five years ago, and of two deacons and six lady assistants. The Ashta- bula church is the largest of our "country churches," and Dr. McGififert is the honored Nestor of the Cleveland Presbytery.

Guilford Church.

The church of Guilford, at 'ffijyg.^'A^ Seville, was organized June 25,

1 83 1, with thirteen members. In 1838 seven members withdrew, and with some others formed a Congregational church. In 1853 the Presbyterian Church of LaFa3'ette was organized with members exclusivel}' from the Guilford Church. Rev. Varnum Noyes was the first pastor of the latter church. Commencing his labors September, 1S31, he was installed September, 1836, and continued pastor until May, Rev. Virgil G, Sheeley. 1849. An effort was then made to unite the Presbyterian and Congregational churches. Rev. Charles C. Dan forth supplied the pulpit, but the effort was not successful, and the former pastor, Mr. Noyes, was recalled to the

Presbyterian church in 1852, and continued his labors until 187 1. Thus Mr. Noyes preached thirty-seven years in this church, the same term of service as that of Mr. Hughes in the North Spring- field church. Mr. Noyes died April 20, 1888. The Guilford

Church was supplied by Rev. J. C. Elliott from 1871 to 1885. Rev. Wm. L. Notestein was installed pastor October 21, 1886, which relationship was dissolved April 13, 1892. The church was then supplied until the present pastor. Rev. Virgil G. Sheeley, was installed Nov. 27, 1894. 46 HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBYTERIANISM.

The following persons have gone from this church as ministers and as mis- \ sionaries: Ministers—David Smith, Ros-

The church has built two houses of worship, the first in 1838, and the second in 1857. The membership has generally been small, as a large propor- tion of the young people seek business Rev. Varnum Noyes. in other places, where many of them are fining places of usefulness in the churches. The membership for the last ten years has varied from ninety-seven to 147.

Orwell Church. The Orwell Presbyterian Church was an outgrowth of a Congregational church changing to the former polity November In 19, 1 83 1. The church at that time had eleven members. 1833 this church adopted the following resolution, viz: "That we will receive no one into this church unless he agrees to abstain from drinking, manufacturing and vending ardent spirits, excepting for medicine." The first pastor was Rev. Charles Dan forth, who began his work in 1835. The first building was commenced in 1840, and finished in 1 84 1. From that time until 1874 i^i^^G ministers served the congregation: Revs. Mr. Palmer,

B. Y. Messenger, C. J. Pitkins, Lewis Gadden, Amos Dressor, Franklin Arnold, Wm. Millikin, Franklin Maginnis and E. Latimer. In 1876 there was a revival in the churches of

Orwell that added largely to Rev. John E. Carroll. THE COUNTRY CHURCHES. 47 them, and in the following year, 1877, the Presbyterian Church was rebuilt and re-dedicated. Seven ministers have served the church since that time until the present i)astor, Rev. J. E. Carroll, was chosen in 1894: Revs. H.King, Wni. T. Richardson, J. E. Vance, Alexander Ross, Sherman D. Taylor, M. Knowles, and H. p. Hamilton. The present menil)ership of the church is seventy- five. With a Sunday School of 150 pupils, and a Christian En- deavor Society of 50 members, this church has a prosperous outlook.

First Church, of Akron. The First Presbyterian Church, of Akron, was organized December 15, 1831, with twenty-six charter members. The village was then called Mid- dlebury. Rev. Benson C. Bald- win was the first pastor, and Woolsey Wells and Richard Chapman were the first elders. Mr. Baldwin served the church seven years. Rev. Mr. Alanson and Rev. H. A. Sackett supplied the church for a time, and in 1 84 1 Rev. James Shaw was installed as pastor. Remarkable revivals marked his ministr5^ Rev. Edward Layport. Rev. William Hanford and Rev. Horace Foote supplied after Mr. Shaw left, and in March, 1848, Rev. Eleroy Curtis became pastor. Prior to this time an effort had been made to sever connection with the Portage Presbytery, and this failing, a number of members seceded and formed a Congregational church. This weakened the mother church. In 1854 Mr. Curtis closed his labors. During the next four years the church had supplies. In 1859 the Presbyterian and Congre- gational churches were united under a plan of union, and Rev. Wm. Dempsey served the union church four years. Rev. George C Hicks then supplied two years, and Rev. John G. Hall for three years, when Rev. Mr. Avery took charge from 1871 to 1874, when the church returned to the Presbytery. Messrs. A. L. Cotter, Henry Hart, and John K. Robinson were elected elders, 48 HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBYTERIANISM. and Rev. C. E. Barnes became pastor in 1874, serving three years. Mr. Barnes was succeeded by Rev. J. H. Jones, who served about three years. Then followed the five-year pastorate of Rev. Dwight L,. Chapin, during which time the present house of worship was built. Rev. E. Layport, the present pastor, began his labors in May, 1889, and in 1890 the parsonage was built. The present membership of the church is 150. The Sunday School numbers 185 pupils, and there are Junior and Senior Christian Endeavor Societies.

Streetsboro Church,

This church was organized January 14, 1833, by Rev. Beriah Green. It was a Congregational church, under the care of the Portage Presbyter}-. Thirty united with the church at its formation, presenting letters from Congregational churches in the East, and from the Presbyterian Church at North Spring- field, Summit County. The two elements did not always work in harmony, nevertheless the work prospered. Worship was conducted in a school house until the church building was dedicated, June 29, 1837. In 1870 the building was rebuilt and re-dedicated. Feb. 15, 1874, Rev. H. H. Wells, D.D , commenced special meetings, which added a large number to the church, and February 28, 1874, a meeting was called to adopt the Presbyterian form of government. The church has had but one installed pastor. Rev. Samuel Lee, 1840 to 1849. Many ministers have supplied the pulpit, but through all the successes and failures the church has never been closed, except for repairs or for union services. Willougfhby Church.

This church was organized April 15, 1833, as the First Presbyterian Church of Chagrin, afterwards Willoughby, with nine members. In the sixty-three years of its existence it has had twenty-one ministers, only three of whom were installed. At the beginning the church was received into the Cleveland Presbytery, but in 1837 it was made a Congregational church. Under the pastorate of Rev. H. S. Clark (1840 to 1846) the church was again made Pre-sbyterian, with the exception that the elders were elected for three years instead of for life. In July, 1848, the church again changed to the " First Congrega- THE COUNTRY CHURCHES. 49

tioiial Church of Willoughby," although it remained in connection with the Presbyter}'. In 1870 the church adopted the Presbyterian form of government, and has since remained in the

Cleveland Presbytery. On August 5, 1880, Rev. Arthur J. Waugh came and served the church ten years. During this period of service the old edifice was supplanted by a new church building costing $10,000. Mr. Waugh resigned to accept a call to the Willson Avenue Presbyterian Church of Cleveland, and after a three-years supply of the church by Rev. F. G. Weeks, the present minister, Rev. Selden C. Dickinson, a Congre- gationalist, began his labors. The whole number received into membership during the existence of this church is 549, the present membership being over 100. Two missionaries have gone forth from this church, Miss I^aura Emily Carpenter going to China, and Miss Eliza D. Everett to Syria, where she now labors. Miss

Carpenter returned to this country, and died about 186 1. The Missionary Societies are flourishing. The church has a good

parsonage, and the whole property, worth over $15,000, is free from debt.

Northfield Church.

At Northfield, on the 9th or November, 1833, a number of people met in a log school-house to form a church. Rev. Caleb Pitkin moderated the meeting, delegated so to act by the

Presbytery of Portage, but it was left to the people whether they would form a Presbyterian or a Congregational church. It was not until 1837, however, that the congregation resolved that the form of church government should be strictly Presby- terian. In October of that year the church petitioned the (O. S.) Rev. Joel C. Glover. Presbytery of Wooster for membership in that Presbytery, which petition was granted. The 50 HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBYTERIANISM.

pastors and supplies of this church have been: Revs. C J. Abbott, M. A. Fox, Mr. Crittenden, John Andrews, William Campbell, Luke Borland, W. B. Marsh, William Hamilton, D.D.,

M. E. Caldwell, afterwards a missionary to Bogota; J. G. Hall, D.D., R. R. Marquis, W. M. Donaldson, and W. W. Tait. The present pastor. Rev. Joel C. Glover, was called August i6, 1891. This small church has given five young men to the ministry,

Northfield is noted for the moral and Christian character of its citizens, which is in a large measure the result of the influence of the Presbyterian church.

Solon Church. The Solon Presbyterian Church was organized April 24, 1834 It was first organized on the independent plan, but in 1840, "feeling the need of the sympathy and help from with-

out, more than it could secure under a purely Congregational polity," the church joined the Cleveland Presbytery, under the old plan of union. This relation "" was sustained until 1871 when, on August 27, the church was fully organized on the Presby- terian plan. A year after

Rev. William V. Chapin. organization a house of worship was erected, a very plain, modest building. In 1853 this house was enlarged to its present pro- portions, the steeple built, and the bell placed. The record of that time reads: "Old Priest Seward," who served the church for sixteen years, the longest pastorate it ever had, "preached for the first time in our meeting house enlarged and repaired." In pastoral service the experience of the church has been that of short duration. In the early days professors from the Western Reserve College often supplied the pulpit. There have been the following pastors and stated supplies: Revs. Calvin Porter, J. Morton, E. Ward, John Seward, D. W. Sharts, Wm. C. Turner, THE COUNTRY CHURCHES. 51

H. M. Walker, M. 1). Steen, Henry Curtis, A. M. Chapin, John Seymour, H. S. Childs and John E. Carroll. The present pastor, Rev. W. V. Chapin, began his labors iu August, 1893, and the field has been richly blessed. Over 100 members have been added to the membership, which had been forty-five, and almost all the members thus received have come upon confession of their faith. For the first time in its history the church has become self-supporting. There is a good C. E. Society, and the present building may be replaced by a new one.

Parma Church.

November 7, 1835, a meet-

ing was called to organize a little band of Christians into a church. Dr. S. C Aiken, of the First Church, of Cleveland, presided. The Confession of Faith and Covenant recommended by the Cleveland Presby- tery, were adopted. It was expected that the church would be Presbyterian, but the majority having been connected with Con- gregational churches, Dr. Aiken refused to urge them to do what they did not at heart wish to do,

' ' ' These brethren, " said he ' wish Rev. Julius Spencer. to organize a Congregational church, and Congregational it shall be." Eleven persons joined this church by letter, and one upon confession of his faith. Services were conducted in a school-house until a "meeting- house " was constructed. It was a plain frame building, and was ready for use in 1841. There have been twenty-five different periods of supply in the pulpit of this small church, down to the present supply. Rev. Julius Spencer, who began his labors

October i, 1S92. There have never been over sixty members connected with this church at any one time. After the special meetings conducted by Rev. H. H. Wells, D.D., the church took

the full form of Presbyterian government, April 3, 1874. 52 HISTORY OF CI^EVELAND PRESBYTERIANISM.

Independence Church.

This church was organized June 24, 1837, by missionaries under the employ of the Connecticut Missionary Society, with but six charter members. For nearly twenty years the church had no pastor, but was supplied by different missionaries until the settlement of Rev. B. F. Sharp, in October, 1854. Mr. Sharp is the only pastor the church has ever had. In January, 1855, measures were instituted for the erection of the present house of worship, services having been previously held in a log school- house, and in the Town Hall. The present stone church building was completed at a cost of $2,594. This building was paid for under the pastorate of Mr. Sharp, and Ins been the home of the congregation ever since. This church has a very limited field of work. The population has greatly changed from that of pioneer days, and Lutheran and Roman Catholic families have come into the place with their churches, but preaching services are maintained in the old Presbyterian church, conducted for the most part by students from Oberlin Theological Seminary.

Kingfsville Church.

This church was organized in 1844, from the remnants of a previously existing Congregational church. At first the government was a compromise between that of the Congregational and Presbyterian polity, in order to please the old members of the former church. The church has gradually merged into the

Presbyterian form, with a few exceptions that still cling to it as inherited rights. The first pastor and reorganizer of the church was Rev. C. E. Williams, who served eight years. There have been ten pastors and stated supplie^^ since. Rev- H. W. Palmer, the second pastor, served the church eighteen years. Rev. D. L- Hickok served eight years. The other terms of service were short. There have been added to the church, since its organization, 455 members. The present membership is eighty, and Rev. A. H. Caughey, a member of Erie Presbytery, is the stated supply. Milton Churchy Rittman^ O.

Elliott, pastor of the Guilford Church, at vSeville, but living with his family at Rittman. The first church building was erected in 1880 at a cost of $2,700, of which $800 came from the Board of Church Erection. This building was burned in the winter of 1885, without any insurance, but in the following summer a new church was erected at a cost of $2,880. The church grew until its membership reached fifty-two in 1887, and then it declined

until it reached twenty in 1892. It was self-supporting the iSrst ten years, but the financial strain of building two edifices crippled the congregation. Rev. Mr. Elliott resigned in April, 1892. Since that time tlie pulpit has been supplied by pastors of neighboring churches at Doylestown and Seville, and for the past two years Rev. \'. G. Sheeley, pastor of the Guilford Church, has served the congregation, the Presbytery helping to bear the expense of maintaining service.

New Lyme Church.

The Presbyterian Church of New Lyme was organized Oc- tober 16, 1887, with nineteen members. Since that time over

100 have been added to the roll. A brick church has been built, with all modern conveniences, at a cost of $5,000, and dedicated

Central Church, Akron.

At the .spring meeting of Presbytery, 1891, a committee was appointed to organize the Central Presbyterian Church, of Akron. The only Presbyterian church in Akron up to this time was the old Middlebury church, now in the sixth ward of the city. It seemed wise in a rapid-

ly growing cit}' of 30,000 people, to thus organize a Presbyterian church in the more central portion of the city, providing a field that needed a church could be

Rev. John C. Elliott. found. Such a field was discovered, but in it there was no place suitable for worship. Finally, October 15, 1891, a school house for which the city had no longer any need, was purchased by Rev. E Lay port, pastor of the First Church, of Akron, and this was held for the Presbyterian Church. This small building was furnished with chairs. The Board of Publication contributed liberally Sunday-school books, lesson helps, and Bibles. The Presbyterian Church at Columbus Grove, O., donated a pulpit, and the floor was covered with matting from the abandoned church at LaFayette. The house was opened for worship the last Sunday in November, 1891, Rev. E. Layport preaching the sermon, and Rev. J. C Elliott making some remarks. Services were held each Sunday afternoon by Mr. Layport, assisted by Revs. Elliott, Notestein and Ludlow. A week of special meetings was observed in November, conducted mostly by Rev. Arthur C. Ludlow, of Cleveland. The organization of the church was effected March 13, 1892. Mr. J. H. Sample, formerly elder in the church at Granville, O., and Mr. W. E. Dempsey, formerly elder in the church at Akron, were installed as elders, and Dr. J.

H. Seiler, W. C. Dague and J. H. Sample, were elected trustees.

The Rev. J. C Elliott was called in April, 1892, but was not installed until the completion of the new Chapel, September 16, THE COUNTRY CHURCHES. 55

1895. The present church propert)' is worth jSy.ooo, and there is good prospect of its soon being cleared of the debt, which, at the

present is a little over $1,000. The church is located on State street, between Main and High, and has a field for great future usefulness.

Wickliffe Church.

The Wickliffe Presb5'terian Church is an outgrowth of a Union church, which had existed ten years. Fifteen members desiring a closer denominational relation, decided to form a Presbyterian church. At an extra meeting of the Presbytery, called in August, 1893, Rev. E. Bushnell, D.D., Rev. Wm. Knight, and Elder E. R. Perkins, were delegated to form a church. This was done September 3, 1893. Rev. R. W. McLaughlin served the church one year. Rev. F. G. Blanchard supplied it six months, during which time sixteen members were added. October 31, 1895, Rev. L. E. Lewis, of Chagrin Falls, was called, preaching his first sermon November 24, 1895. Previous to his coming plans had been made for a new church, and the building, a brick structure with stone trimmings, is now completed. The auditorium seats over 300, with a Sunday- school room adjoining seating over 200. The building is thoroughly modern, costing over $7,000, and is almost free of debt. Rev. Barnas F. Ashley. Rev.

East Cleveland Church.

east Cleveland Cburcb.

IN 1804, five families from Washington, Penns^ivania, founded their homes in the heart of an almost unbroken forest, east of the little settlement of Cleveland. A rough path, the beginning of Euclid Avenue, wandered tortuously through the forest. These five families brought with them their Presbyterian faith and practices, and, as religious privileges were to them as necessary as their homes, we find them, three years after their arrival, responding to the suggestion, and uniting with the efforts of earlier settlers in forming a church. It was on the 27th of August, 1807, that the "Church of Christ in Euclid," was organized. The missionary in charge was Rev. EAST CLEVELAND CHURCH. 59

Win. Wick, and tradition says that the gathering place was the barn of Andrew Mcllrath. Another tradition has it that the organization was formed at the house of Nathaniel Doan, at Doan's Corners, at that time a more central place, the name of Mr. Doan standing first on the roll of the church. The church was first organized on the "Plan of Union," but the bent toward Presbyterianism was marked, and March 15, 1810, the church placed itself under the care of the Hartford Presbytery. In the same year a log church was erected on the eastern corner of the adjoining cemetery, on land obtained from Thomas Mcllrath, John Shaw, and Nehemiah Dille. Even the rude house built of split logs could not be finished until the arrival, in 1811, of two settlers whose knowledge of carpentry enabled them to make plain benches and a pulpit. Here were held the regular services of the first church in the

Cleveland Presbytery under its first pastor, Rev. Thomas Barr, and for almost twenty years this was the only church that aflforded religious privileges to the early settlers of Cleveland. If the Old Stone Church is called the "Mother." the East Cleveland, or old Euclid Church, should be called the "Grandmother of Us

All." Although the church is

yet out of the city limits, it is properly a city church, and the Rev. D. L. Hickok. near annexatioa of Ea.st Cleve- land to the City of Cleveland will make it such in fact. The first interment in the Cemetery, at a corner of which the old church was built, was that of Mrs. Barr, wife of the first pastor, aud this was in 181 2. During the whole existence of the log church, it is said to have been the only church building upon the Western Reserve. In 18 16 the log church was replaced by a frame structure, which also antedated any church building in the county. Again the people built out of their poverty with the foresight that always characterized their 6o HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBYTERLINISM. enterprises. They planned for the future, and the frame church on the hill was, for its time, as imposing as the present new structure. Its steeple was high, and could be seen for miles around. It was the counterpart of the New England meeting house, a type found in any Puritan village. At first this church was used without windows or pulpit, and the first meeting, which was not of formal dedication, was very unique and impressive. The legend is that there arose a terrible thunderstorm. The pastor, calling the frightened congregation to the center of the church, while the lightning rent the air and the crashing trees fell in the forest outside, led them in prayer for protection from the dangers which surrounded them. The wind swept through the empty window spaces, and his voice could not be heard on account of the furious noise of the storm, but the silent prayer-meeting, where death seemed so near, survived in the memories of those present as the most awe-inspiring service they had ever known. In 1819 and 1820 the work on the church was resumed and completed. Pews took the place of planks laid across log sup- ports, window sills and glass filled the spaces left empt}^ and a fine pulpit graced the front. Much comfort and refinement were thus added, but through many succeeding years the old church was unwarmed in winter, and, as the congregation came on horse- back or in rude carts to attend morning, afternoon and evening services on a Sunday, they came equipped with foot-stoves and hand-warmers, and the minister preached muffled to the chin to protect himself from the cold. With the era of stoves and other comforts, changes were made to keep pace with the march of improvements. The steeple of the church was lowered and the galleries were removed. The galleries had been erected on three sides of the building, and the pulpit had been lifted high above the heads of the people. Now the church was converted, by the introduction of a new floor, into a two-story building, the upper floor containing the audience, and the basement the prayer-meeting rooms. The high pulpit was replaced by a low desk. This renovated edifice remained the house of worship until the present fine stone church was erected and dedicated. The new work was begun in 1893. The Sunday-school building was dedicated and occupied by the church February EAST CLEVELAND CHURCH. 6l

First Presbyterian, or Old Stone Church.

fiistorv of tbe ?ir$t Presbyterian, or Old Stone Church.

THE First Presbyterian Church of Cleveland, was the outgrowth of a Union Sunday-school, held in a primitive log court house, on what is now the Public Square. The court house itself was made of hewn logs, boarded outside, and painted red. Cleveland was then a straggling village of 150 inhabitants. —

68 HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBYTERIANISM.

The school, opened in June, 1819—Mr. Elisha Taylor, superintendent, and Mr. Moses White, a leading Baptist, secretary

issued Tuesday, September 19, 1820, into the organization of the First Presbyterian Church. It was due to Mr. Taylor, chiefly, that the little band of fourteen, six upon confession of faith, were led to "adopt the Presbyterian doctrine and discipline." The names of the charter members are thus chronicled in the records his wife of that time: Elisha Taylor and Ann, ; T. J. Hamlin,

P. B. Andrews, Sophia L,. Perry, widow; Bertha Johnson, widow; Sophia Walworth, Mrs. Mabel How, Henry Baird and Ann, his wife; Rebecca Carter, widow, Juliana Eong, Isabella Williamson, Miss Harriet How, Minerva Merwin. At this time Cleveland was a very unpretentious village, located in an allotment a mile square, mostly uncleared, but exceedingly eligible as a site for residences. In 1820 the first stage coach arrived from the East, and gave the citizens public com- munication with the outside world. Two years later the first steamer plowed the waters of Lake Erie, increasing the

facilities for traffic and travel. At that time there was a little hamlet at Doan's Corners, and another at Newburgh. Between, rose primitive forests, where wolves and bears sometimes con- tested the right of possession.

For thirteen years, until the basement of the first "Old Stone Church " was ready for occupancy, the little band of believers had no fixed habitation. For two years they met in the court house, but sometimes in the school house on St. Clair street; then in the academy, also on St. Clair street; and finally in the third story of Dr. Long's building, now embraced in the American House. The congregation was still small and poor, and the building of a church was a formidable undertaking. But the society having been incorporated in 1827, plans were adopted, and the building commenced on the present site in 1832, was dedicated February 26, 1834. The number of communicants at this time was ninety- four. Up to this time there had been no settled ministry, and the supplies had been rather transient than stated. The ministers who supplied were as follows: Rev. Randolph

Stone, 1820-182 1; Rev. Wm. McLean, 1822; Rev. S. J. Brad- street, 1 8 23- 1 830; Rev. John Sessions, 1831, a part; Rev. Samuel Hutchings, 1832-1833; Rev. John Keep, 1833-1835. The Rev. Samuel C. Aiken, D. D. Rev. Wm. H. Goodrich, D. D.

Rev. John Keep, the last stated suppl}-, December i8, 1834, moderated a meeting on the west side of the river, which resulted in the organization of the First Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn, and he became its pastor. This church is now the First Congre- gational Church, of Cleveland. All the stated supplies were devoted and excellent men. In 1835, the year President Finney began his work at Oberlin, Samuel C. Aiken, D. D., of Utica, N. Y., was called to the pastorate of the First church. He accepted, entered upon his labors the 7th of June, and was installed the 24th of November. At this time Cleveland was a village of 5,080 inhabitants, and the next year, 1836, became an incorporated cit}'. Besides Trinity Church, incorporated one year after the Old Stone, the Methodists had gained a footing, the Baptists were organized, the Roman Catholics had built their first church in 1835 on the flats, and the first Bethel Church had been opened on the side hill. There were now five denominations represented in the village. At Newburgh a church had been organized in 1832, now the Miles Park Church, and at Doan's Corners a Presbyterian Church

was organized in 18^13. One woman, it is said, carried it for

Presbj^terianism against fort}' men, but it did not remain Presby-

terian. After ten years of independent life this church became the Euclid Avenue Congregational Church. Eastward, in Colla- mer, there had been a church since 1807. Soon after Dr. Aiken settled, as pastor of the First Church, the church building was outgrown, and to relieve the pressure a colon}^ of "twenty of the best families" went forth in 1836 to form a second Presbyterian Church, securing a charter under

date of April 3, 1837. After a year the enterprise was abandoned, and the members returned to their old church home. The financial crash of 1837 is thought, for one thing, to have crippled its strength.

A powerful revival in 1840, under the ministry of Rev\ J. T. Avery, added to this church about 170 members, and prepared the way for a secession from the church of some who had become dissatisfied with Dr. Aiken's conservative position on the slavery question, to form a Congregational Church. This enterprise was wrecked by Second Adventism, the current "perfectionism" of the day, and kindred errors. The church edifice of this new Rev. Aaron IV'ck. 2. .Mr. B. F. Sluiart.

In June, 1844, the Second Presbyterian Church was organized on the old charter of 1837. The meeting for the formation of this church was held in the basement of the Stone Church, Dr. Aiken presiding. Fiftj'-five letters were granted b}^ the First Church to those forming the new organization. Six years later, March 25, 1850, as a result, in part at least, of the anti-slavery agitation, another church of thirty members was formed, known for two years as the Free Presbyterian Church, but since then as the Plymouth Congregational Church. It was about this time, February, 1851, that the first railroad entered Cleveland from Columbus. It was a great event, bring- ing to the city as it happened, over Sunday, a great many notable men, who listened to Dr. Aiken's commemorative sermon, which has become historic. The text was the graphic word picture of Nahum: "The chariots rage in the streets, they jo.stle one against another in the broadways; the appearance of them is like torches, they run like lightning." Three years later, January 25, 1S53; owing to the overcrowded condition of the Old First, the Euclid Street Presby- teiian Church was organized in the spirit of good will, with thirteen from the mother church, among whom was the veteran Klisha Taylor, one of the founders of the First Church. The next step lorward on the sight of the Old First was the erection of a new and large church edifice, at a cost of $60,000. It was pushed forward with unanimity, and entered with gladness

August 12, 1855. Within two years, March 7, 1857, this new edifice was burned. Instead of weakening, this calamity contributed to the unity, the pecuniary strength and prosperity of the congregation. An insurance of $30,000 enabled the society to rebuild at once, except galleries and spire, and the new edifice was dedicated January 17, 1858. This same year, August 12, Dr. Wm. H. Goodrich became associate pa.stor with Dr. Aiken. Three years later, April, 1861, Dr. Aiken was made pastor emeritus, upon an annual stipend of $1,000. During his pastorate of twentj^-tbree years 880 united with the church. The work of Dr. Aiken these words of Dr. Goodrich describe: "There was at this time, an unusual disposition toward spurious excitement. 1. Klisha'l'ajior. J. (icorKe Mygatt. s. F. M. Hackus. 12.

The dreams of perfectionism, the vagaries of Millerism, and the premonitory stir and struggle of the great anti-slavery and temperance movements were engrossing many minds, and throwing unstable men every- where off their balance. In such a time Dr. Aiken came to the pastorate of the First Church. To his clear and practical wisdom, his weight of character, as well as to his unselfish consecration to the service of Christ, we owe it that this church escaped the disorders which rent so many other Christian bodies, and held on its way with growing strength and unity." Dr. Goodrich's pastorate extended from 1858 to July 11, 1874, three years at the beginning as associate with Dr. Aiken, the last two as senior pastor with Hiram C. Haydn. These two years were wholly spent abroad, in the vain hope of restoring health. He passed away from earth in Lausanne, Switzerland,

July 1 1, 1874. Dr. Aiken survived him, but for the most part in shattered health, passing avvay January i, 1879. The period of Dr. Goodrich's pastorate was one of wonderful growth in the city and in the churches. In 1S68 the church galleries were constructed and the spire completed, and in 1871, under the leadership of Hon. George H. El}', a still greater im- provement transformed the narrow chapel and parlors into the roomier ones on an enlarged site. These rooms were greatly enjoyed, but twenty years later they were overshadowed and darkened by adjacent buildings, and finally' replaced by the present Sunday-school building, constructed under the leadership of Superintendent Charles L. Kimball. Rev. Hiram C. Haydn was installed associate pastor with Dr. Goodrich at the close of August, 1872. It was the last Sabbath Dr. Goodrich ever spent with the First Church. The period from 1872-80 was marked by no extraordinary changes. It was one of healthy growth at home, and in the North Church mission. From 1880-84 Dr. Arthur Mitchell was senior pastor. He took up the work of Dr. Haydn, laid down for a missionary secretaryship in New York, and from it at the end of that period, went himself, to a similar work at the call of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, in which he served until his death.

The old church was burned a second time January 5, 1884. This Sereiio P. Fciiii. John A. iMKitf, ,)r. I;ucieii B. Hall.

These were years not to be forgotten by many who enjoyed his devout and able ministry, and were led to share his enlarged views of church life and work. He was seconded by Rev. Rollo Ogden, who became his son-in-law, and later by Rev. J. W. Simpson, now president of Marietta College. The old church was rebuilt at a cost of $35,000, exclusive of memorial windows, and made more attractive than ever. Dr. Haydn was recalled to the pastorate, with Rev. Wilton Merle Smith, now Dr. Smith, of New York Cit3% as associate pa.stor. The work from this time became collegiate, Calvary Mission having regular preaching services. Rev. Joseph H. Selden, of Erie, now of Elgin, 111., succeeded Dr. Smith, and in the autumn of 1890 Rev. Bert E. Howard, now of lyos Angeles, California, was called as a second associate pastor, and the Bolton Chapel was taken under the wing of the First Church. The breaking up of the Collegiate system was by mutual consent, and was ch'efl}' due to the largeness of the field, and the consequent diffusion of pastoral influence. Rev. William Knight was then called to the associate pa.sto- rate of the Old Stone Church, with Dr. Haydn, and another departure was made, which contemplated a more distinct effort for the down town population. Mr. Knight was called to Saginaw, Mich., after two vears' service. During this period, 1884-1893, the senior pastor. Dr. Haydn, was for three years president of the Western Reserve University. To make good the partial withdrawal from pastoral work Rev. Giles H. Dunning was called from Buffalo. Under his direction a Sunday-school of about 300 was gathered on the West Side. It will thus be seen that from the first, this church, the original fountain of Presbyterianism in Cleveland, began to give out while as yet it was small, to replenish itself and again give forth, and so on unto this very day. Its location, at first central to its constituency, has for many years been in the heart of the business center. About 750 of its members have aided in found- ing new enterprises. There have been received from the beginning to the present time over 4,000 communicants. The original Henry N. Raymond. S. A. Uaynioad.

Under Dr. Haydn's consecrated and energetic rule the Old

Stone Church is preparing to do important institutional work in the heart of the city of Cleveland. 78 HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBYTERIANISM.

FOR some years previous to the organization of the Miles Park Presbyterian Church occasional sermons were preached in ]irivate houses in Newburgh, and a Sunday-school was formed. This school held its first session in a small room in the home of present but eight persons including a Mr. Fuller ; there being pupils and teachers. The attendance doubled for three succeed- 88 HISTORY OF CLEVEIvAND PRESBYTERIANISM. ing Sundays, so that there were about seventy-five pupils enrolled. This school was maintained until the church was established, and being the only Sunday-school in Newburgh it was a union work, supported by all the Christian families in the place.

December 31. 1832, a meeting was held to organize a church. Rev. Stephen Peet, of Euclid, presided at the meeting, assisted by the Rev. Harvey Lyon. The original members were Edward and Theodosia Taylor, James and Sarah Ash- well, James and Elizabeth South- ern, John and Martha Stair, John and Amy Reighter, and Elizabeth Derrick. These persons constituted the new church, called the First Congregational Church of Newburgh, but the new organization placed itself under the care of the Cleveland Presbytery, on the principle of the Plan of Union. The church Rev. Arthur C. Ludlow. was organized and held its first meetings in a small room in a building on Miles avenue, which was used as a carpenter shop.

In December, 1841, a charter of incorporation was secured from the State Legislature, under the title of the "First Presby- terian Society of Newburgh," with William Billings, Adam Meech, John Stair, John Givens, Isaac Cody, Isaac Reed, Nathan Ingersoll, William Davidson, William Kerr, John Reed, Gurdon Meech and Alexander Webster, as members.

The first regular meeting of this society was held in the

Town Hall, March 10, 1842. Elijah Ingersoll was chosen presiding officer, and Isaac Reed, Elijah Ingersoll and Adam Meech were elected trustees; William Davidson was made treasurer, and William Billings clerk.

In the following May, at a regular meeting, a piece of land on Woodland Hills avenue, facing the Hospital for the Insane, MILE.S PARK PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. 89 was presented to the society through Elijah Ingersoll, by Mr. George Walker, of New York, who owned considerable land in the locality. Upon this site the first house of worship was erected and dedicated July 14, 1842.

The Rev. John Keys began his labors as stated supply in 1835, remaining until 1838. He was succeeded in June, 1839, by Rev. Matthew Fox, who labored as stated supply until 1845. In the 3'ear 1840, when the church was made Presbyterian in polity, it withdrew from the Cleveland Presbytery, and was taken under the care of the Old School Presbytery, of Wooster, but it returned to the care of the Cleveland Presbytery in 1845. John Stair, William Billings and Adam Meech formed the first session. At the close of Mr. Fox's labors there was no regular preaching for some time, and then Rev. Mr. McReynolds was engaged, who remained stated supply two years.

In June, 1849, the Rev. James Shaw, D.D., began his ministry as settled pastor. He remained in the <-«•»*-. work in this field until November, % 1859, a little over ten years, and was much beloved by the people. After Dr. Shaw's pastorate, Rev. Erastus Chester supplied the pulpit for a year.

Rev. E. W. Childs, at present pa.-^tor of the Presbyterian Church at Gran- ville, O., succeeded Mr. Chester, and remained two years.

The Rev. William Turner was in- Rev. James Shaw, D.D. stalled in 1862, but in 1864 he received leave of absence to enter upon the service as Chaplain in the army during the war of the Rebellion, and his place was filled b}' the temporary services of Rev. Jo.seph S. FMwards. In 1865 Mr. Turner resumed his work as pastor, but resigned in March, 1867. For many years the growth of the church was slow, and the society was obliged to receive the assistance of the Home Mission- ary Society to maintain regular services. During the latter part of Mr. Turner's pastorate Newburgh began to grow in population, 90 HISTORY OF CIvEVELAND PRESBYTERIANISM. through the establishment of pioneer manufacturing interests, from which have grown the Cleveland and the Union Rolling

Mill Companies. This produced a more vigorous church life.

Rev. Eleroy Curtis, D.D., began his labors June i6, 1867, and was installed May 19, 1S6S. At the commencement of this pastorate there were enrolled 106 members, while only about seventy were resident in the place. Under the leadership of Dr. Curtis the church made plans for a new building. The site on Miles Park was selected, and the present brick edifice * '9^ was erected. The corner-stone was laid May 23, 1869, but the formal dedication did not occur until May 12, 1872, the basement having been used for two years as a place of worship. For seventeen years Dr. Curtis conducted an afternoon service at the Asylum for the Insane, in addition to the services in his church, and he was, for a number of years. Stated

Rev. Eleroy Curtis, D.D. Clerk of Presbytery. He was beloved, not only by the people of Newburgh, but by the church at large in Cleveland. Under his pastorate the Miles

Park Church kept pace with the growth of the village, until it became a part of the city. Over 500 persons were added to the church during this long pastorate. After ninteen 3'ears of service Dr. Curtis died March 31, 1886, leaving the work of his ripest years to one beginning the ministerial career.

The present pastor, Rev. Arthur C. Dudlow, had been invited to assist Dr. Curtis during the summer of 1886, having- completed his second year in the Seminar}-. Before he reached Cleveland Dr. Curtis had died. Mr. Ludlow supplied the pulpit that summer, and received a call on condition of finishing the third year of the course at Union Theological Seminary. During the eight months necessary to complete this course, the pulpit was supplied by Rev. E. Bushnell, D.D., and Prof. E. P. Cleave- land, of Adelbert College. Mr. Ludlow was installed May 17, 1887, and still continues to labor in the field. A new Sunday- school building has been erected, which has largel}- added to the MILES PARK PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. 91

facilities of the church for social, as well as spiritual life. This building was dedicated January 15th, 1893. During the past year the church edifice has been enlarged and renovated, so that the interior is more beautiful and attractive. The hope of this old church lies in the strong body of young people, who are very active. During the present pastorate, about 250 persons have been added to the church upon confession of faith, and a goodly number by letter. A very promising mission Sunday-school, under the management of Mr. William

A. Galpin, is conducted at Forest Dale, which, in time, should grow into a Presbyterian Church. Ezra A. Atwater. Heury A. Atwater. Samuel Aubley.

filstorv of tbe Second Presbyterian Cburcb.

THE Second Presbyterian Church was organized June 1 2th, 1844, 0° the old charter of 1837, at which time an unsuccessful attempt had been made to form a church. June 4th, 1844, a preliminary meeting of all persons friendly to the new enterprise had been held in the session room of the First Church. At this meeting Mr. William A. Otis was called to the chair, and Mr. T. P. Handy was appointed secretary.

The following resolutions were unanimously adopted : Resolved, That when we organize ourselves into a church it be styled "The Second Presbyterian Church of Cleveland." Resolved, That we adopt a similar form of government as at present held by the First Presbyterian Church, with their form of Covenant and Confession of Faith. THE SECOND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

Resolved, T\vc\t Rev. S. B. Canfield, of Ohio City (now Cleveland, West Side) is our first choice to act as pastor of said church, when duly organized. A committee was appointed, consisting of S. H. Fox, J. F. Taintor and H, C. Kingsley, to ascertain the names of such members of the First Church as proposed to join the new organization. The charter members signed their names to a paper, the spirit of which shows that the exodus of the members from the First Church was not due in the least to any dissatisfaction with the mother church. The meeting to consider the removal of members from the First Church was publicly called, held in the session room of the church about to be left, and presided over by Dr. Aiken, pastor of the church. At this meeting, held Wednes- day evening, June 12, 1844, fifty-eight members were enrolled, of whom all but five were received from the First Church. Six ruling Elders and three Deacons were unanimously elected by ballot as follows: Ruling Elders — David Long, M. D., Henry Sexton, Jeremiah Holt, Eli Morgan, Jesse F. Taintor, Samuel H. Mather. Rev. Paul F. Sutphen, D.D. Deacons—Wm. A. Otis, Truman P. Handy, Samuel H. Fox. Elder Samuel H. Mather was elected Clerk of the Session, which office he filled for forty consecutive years, resigning in May, 1884.

Two days after this meeting the officers met in the office of Mr. T. P. Handy, and voted to extend a call to Rev. Sherman B. Canfield to become pastor of the church.

The house of worship w^hich had been built by an organization known as the First Congregational Church, located at the north-west corner of the Public Square, was purchased for S3, 200, I02 HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PR ESBYTERIANISM.

and there the Second Presbyterian Church commenced its services.

Mr. Canfield accepted the call of the church, and was installed as pastor on the evening of September 3, 1844, the sermon being preached by Rev. Samuel C Aiken, D.D., pastor of the First Church. The first prayer-meeting was held in the commodious audience room, September 6, 1844, ^^d was a meeting of deep consecration of the members to the new work.

On September 8, the Sunday-school was organized, with fifteen teachers and forty-five scholars. Mr. T. P. Handy was elected superintendent.

The pastorate of Rev. Mr. Canfield continued for nearly ten years. Its success justified the wisdom of the founders of the %>> m^ Levt'rett Alcott. Dudley P. Allen, M. 1). iMHriiii 1.. Hnxiks. M. I).

church, who at their first meeting, before the church was formed, resolved that he should be their pastor. Mr. Canfield was i:ot a rugged man physically, but he was a man of sterling mental and spiritual qualities. He possessed a ^ ^ vigorous intellect, a refined and culti- vated manner, and a heart full of kindness and sympathy. During his pastorate there were added to the church 349 members.

In the spring of 1850, the congregation having increased so that the church building was inadequate to accommodate it, a lot was purchased on the south side of Superior street, east of the Public Square, the site of Rev. Sherman B. Canfield, D.D. the present "Crocker Block," and arrangements were made to construct upon it a new house of worship. The old edifice was sold to the Second Baptist Church, and it was removed to the corner of Erie street and Central avenue, where it now stands.

In 1 85 1 the new church building so far neared its completion that services were held in the lecture room in October. The audience room was completed in 1852, and service was fir.st held in it, in May of that year.

On April 23, 1854, Dr. Canfield was, at his own request, and greatly to the regret of his people, dismissed from the church to accept a call to the First Presbyterian Church of Syracuse, N. Y. There he labored with great success until the time of his death,

March 5, 1871.

On September 27, 1854, a call was extended to Rev. James Eells, of Penn Yan, N. Y., to become pastor of the church. Mr. Eells accepted, and commenced bis labors on November loth, following. He was installed January 24th, 1855, the sermon being preached by the venerable father of the pastor, Rev. James Eells, for many years a home missionary in Northern Ohio. The ancestors of Mr. Eells had, for a period of more than 200 years, without a break in the succession, been ministers in the Presby- terian or Congregational Church in New England. Mr. Eells was i <

thirty-two years of age when settled in the pastorate of this church. He was tall and graceful in figure, with a certain dig- nity in demeanor, yet he was approachable, affable and courteous. He was everybody's friend. His preaching was less profound and logical than that of Dr. Canfield, but he had a faculty of convincing his hearers of the in- tense earnestness of his convictions, and when he spoke, people felt that his words reflected the deep feeling of his heart.

In i860, on account of the ill health of Mrs. Eells, Mr. Eells asked for a dismission from the pastorate of this church. This was reluctlanth^ granted him on April 1S60. Mr. Rev. James Eells, D.D. 3, Eells went to the Reformed "Church on the Heights," in Brooklyn, N. Y. During his ministry of five years in the Second Church, the additions had been 265.

In March, 1861, a call was issued to Rev. Theron H. Hawks, of West Springfield, Mass., and was accepted, Mr. Hawks commencing his labors April 21st. On the 26th of the same month he was duly installed by the Presbytery of Cleve- land.

During the pastorate of Dr. Hawks, extending over a period of seven 5'ears, 200 persons were added to the church. Dr. Hawks combined many qualifications which are essential to a successful ministry. He was scholarly in his tastes, a pleasing and effective speaker, and a devoted pastor. On April 26, 1868, Dr. Hawkes was, at his own request, dismissed from the pastorate, and later accepted a call to the First Congregational Church of Marietta, Ohio, where he remained for many years. He now resides in Springfield, Mass. For a year and a half after the departure of Dr. Hawks the church had been engaged in energetic but fruitless Rev. Theron H.

A feeling of discouragement which had come over the church began to give way. The people ralhed with the old time enthusiasm, but this second pastorate of Dr. Eells was destined to be short. The health of the pastor became impaired through excessive labor, and that of his wife, whose serious illness had compelled his removal ten years before, again became critical, so that in September, 1871, Dr. Eells expressed his fear that he might be obliged to resign. lycave of absence for six months was granted, and it was hoped that rest and a change of climate might bring relief. In the spring of 1872 Dr. Eells resumed his pastoral work, but a year later was compelled to resign, and on June 22, 1873, he was dismissed from his pastorate. He went to the First Presbyterian Church of Oakland, California. He was elected to the chair of Theology in the San Francisco Theological Seminary, the duties of which position he assumed in addition to those of his pastorate. Subse- quently he accepted the chair of Pastoral Theology in Lane Seminary, at Cincinnati, the duties of which he discharged with

distinguished ability until the day of. his death, March 7, 1887. Dr. Eells was elected moderator of the General Assembly in Chicago in 1877, and was honored with many other elections to important duties by the church at large. The funeral services of Dr. Eells were held in the Second Church, which he loved, and his mortal remains lie in beatiful Lake \"iew Cemetery. Some time before Dr. Eells severed his relations with the Second Church he corresponded, with the concurrence of the Session, with certain of his ministerial friends, with a view of finding a suitable successor for himself. The result of this correspondence was a unanimous call from the church to Rev.

Charles S. Pomeroy, then pastor of the Ross Street Presbyterian Church, of Brooklyn, N. Y. On June 22, 1873, the very day when Dr. Eells preached his farewell sermon, Mr. Pomeroy was installed as pastor. Dr. Pomeroy came in the full vigor of his manhood.

accomplished scholar, he secured from the first the affection of the people.

About four o'clock on the morning of Monday, October g, 1876, the church edifice took fire from a cinder brought by the wind from a fire in a distant part of the city, and in a few hours all but the lecture room was in ashes. Arrangements were made for services on the Sabbath in the Opera House, and then in Case Hall. So large a number of the members of the congregation had moved to the eastern part of the city since the construction of the burned church that it was decided to sell the lot on which it had stood, and build a new church farther up town. A commodious lot was therefore purchased on the northwest corner of Prospect street and Sterling avenue, and energetic efforts were at once made to erect upon it a new edifice. This was completed in the autumn of

1878, and was dedicated on October 27, of that year. For twenty-one years Dr. Pomeroy ministered to the Second Church. During that time 1,081 persons were added to the church, making a net gain of 386 during his pastorate. The semi-centennial exercises of this church were celebrated from June 10-13, 1894. After this happy occasion Dr. Pomeroy

took his customary vacation, but upon Rev. Charles S. Pomeroy, D.D. his return, after a few days illness, he died, September 10, 1894. His death was a great blow, not only to the church he had so long served, but to the whole city, and to the church at large, in the ranks of whose ministry he was well known. The pulpit was vacant for some months, but finally a most fortunate and happy selection of a pastor was made in the call of Dr. Paul F. Sutphen, formerly pastor of the Woodland Avenue Presbyterian Church, but at the time of the call, pastor of the Oxford Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia. Dr. Sutphen has a host of friends to welcome his return to Cleveland, and under his ministration the past power of this strong church will be increasingly perpetuated. —

euclia Avenue Presbyterian Cburcb.

OWING to the overcrowded condition of the old First Church, the Euclid Street, now the Euclid Avenue Presbyterian Church, was organized in the spirit of good will, with thirteen charter members from the mother church, among whom was the veteran Elisha Taylor, one of the founders of the First Church.

On November 15, 1851, a subscription was started for the purpose of purchasing a lot, or building a church, or both. By the 9th of 122 HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBYTERIANISM.

December, 1851, $10,000 was subscribed, and the 27th of the same month a building committee was appointed, consisting of

Messrs. Elisha Taylor, William D. Beattie, William Slade, Jr., John M. Woolsey and Jonathan Gillett, to whom, in the summer of 1853, Messrs. Zalmon Fitch and Joseph Perkins were

added. The present site having been chosen, it was purchased of John M. Woolsey for $4,500 in deferred payments.

A plan proposed by J. J. Husband of Cincinnati was adopted, and the erection of a church edifice was begun in the summer of 1852, the corner-stone being laid in August of that year. The church was duly organized January 25, 1853, ^^ a meeting held in the lecture room of the First Presbyterian Church, Dr. Aiken presiding, assisted by Rev. S. B. Canfield of the Second Presbyterian Church. Thirteen persons were received into membership, all by letters from the First Church. The "Confession of Faith, Discipline and Government of the Presby- terian Church of the United States" was adopted, "except that the elders and deacons of said Rev. Samuel P. Sprecher, D.D. church shall hold office for only three years."

February i, 1853, ^ society was organized under the name of " The Euclid Street Presbyterian Church and Society of Cleveland." The following officers were elected: President, Zalmon Fitch; Trustees, George Worthington, F. S. Slosson,

Elisha Taylor; Clerk, Wm. Slade, Jr. During the year 1880 the

' corporate name was changed to ' Euclid Avenue Presbyterian Church and Society of Cleveland." The lecture room was first opened for public worship May 29, i853> when a sermon was preached by Rev. E. N. W. Saw- tell, who acted as stated supply until the arrival of the first pastor, the Rev. Joseph B. Bittinger, who had been professor in

Middlebury College, Vt. The call, issued May 9, 1853, was THE EUCLID AVENUE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. 123

accepted b\^ him, and the iSth of the following September he began his labors by preaching in the lecture room. His first

sermon in the church was April 9, 1854, and on the 26th of that month he was installed as pastor. The first Sunday-school was organized June 12, 1853. William Slade,

Jr., was chosen Superintendent for one year, when he was succeeded by Joseph Perkins, who served as Super- intendent until he died in 18S5. The first Board of Elders, consisting of Messrs. Elisha Taylor and Zalmon Fitch,

was elected February 1 , 1854. ThelyOrd's Supper was first administered in the Rev. Joseph B. Bittinger, D.D. church the 21st of the following May. Messrs. Augustus Fuller and Joseph Perkins were elected July 5tli of the same year, as the first Deacons of the church. Dr. F. S. Slosson was the first Chorister, and for six years maintained a large voluntary choir, which furnished most valuable aid to the Sabbath services.

The 1 6th of October, 1862, the pastoral relation between Rev. Mr. Bittinger and the church was dissolved. For months prior to the event his ill-health had prevented him from taking any part in the care of the church, and for more than a year Dr. Aiken discharged the duties of temporary pastor.

February 8, 1863, Rev. John Mon- teith, of Jackson, Mich., was called to the pastorate, and the loth of June, of that year, he was installed. This relation was

dissolved October 2, 1866.

December i, -^v 'WKi^^mk ^ 1867, Rev. Osman A. ^I|/,^^PJ!>, a ' Lyman, D.D., of the Lane Seminary

• * Church, Cincinnati, began his labors as

stated supply, and February 17, 1868, Rev. Osman A. Lyman, D.D. he was called to the pastorate. On the 19th of the following May he was installed. He continued as pastor of the church until his death, which occurred suddenlv 124 HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBYTERIANISM.

January 19, 1872, causing most profound grief, not only in his church, but in the entire community. February 18, 1873, a call was extended to Rev. Charles H. Baldwin, of Jamestown, N. Y. He was installed April 20, 1873, and continued as pastor until the following December, when, upon his own request, the relation was dissolved bj' Presbyter}'. October 26, 1874, a call was given to Rev. W. H. Jeffers, D.D., Professor of Greek and Hebrew in Wooster University.

He was installed May 9, 1875, and his pastoral relation continued until June 4, 1877, when it was dissolved by Presby- tery, that he might accept a call to a Professorship in the West- ern Theological Seminary at Alle- gheny City, Pa.

Rev. J. L. Robertson was called October 15, 1877, and was installed the 26th of the following December. Mr. Robertson served until Novem-

ber 13, 1 88 1. After being nearly a year without a pastor a call was extended to Rev. Wm. V. W. Davis, of Manchester, N. H., August 14, 1882, and he was installed the 19th of November of the Rev. W. H. Jeffers, D.D. same year. By an urgent call from another field Mr. Davis was induced to resign the pastorate, his resignation taking effect April 15, 1887. The present pastor, Rev. Samuel P. Sprecher, D.D., was called from his work in San Francisco, Cal., March 14, 1887, and was installed May 29th. The first pastor of this church was one of the most notable men in the ministry of Cleveland, and probably the best Bible student the city has ever had, and looking over the list of pastors one recognizes in each character- istic traits of strength and usefulness. During these forty-three years there have been frequent enlargements, even the rebuilding of portions of the church. The original subscription for the purchase of a lot, and the erection of a house of worship was ^10,650. The first cost, however, was $60,750. The raising of this sum greatly taxed the financial THE EUCLID AVENUE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. 125

Strength of the church, and it was not until the spring of 1871 that, through the effort of Dr. lyyman, the last indebtedness for $10,000 was cancelled. In 1862, the lecture room was enlarged through funds raised by the Sunday-school. Three rooms were added on the east side, and the vestibule on the north. In March, 1864, the organ was completed and placed in the church, at a cost of $4,000. During the summer of 1868 the steeple was completed, and many repairs were made. Thus from time to time changes were made in the interior until, during the summer of 1883, the most extensive

Rev. J. L. Robertson. repairs were made, which closed the audience room for nine months. The w^alls were beautifully frescoed, and new windows were put in. Especial mention should be made of the beautiful central window, on the west side of the church, which was imported from Europe and presented to the church in memor}- of the late George Worthington, by the family. This extensive repair involved an outlay of over $15,000, which was all raised within the church. The beautiful parsonage and lot on Euclid avenue, the crowning gift to the church by Elder Joseph Perkins before his decease, makes a very valuable addition to the church property, besides furnishing an attractive and central home for the pastor of the church. In the summer of 1S91 the old chapel, which had been too small for the growing needs of the church, was torn down, and a much larger, more commodious and modern building was erected on the site, at a cost of about $15,000. The corner-stone of this building was laid in September, 1891, and the dedication of the finished work ^^'- ^- ^' ^- ^^''^' ^°- was in the fore part of January, 1892. Miss Anne Walworth has recentl}' provided an endowment for this church in the sum of 126 HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBYTERIANISM.

^100,000. The Walworth family has been connected with the church from its organization, and this Hberal endowment is given as a family memorial.

The Euclid Avenue Presbyterian Church is rapidly beginning to occupy a position similar to that of the Old Stone Church. The trend of resident population eastward, and the advance of business blocks in the same direction, are making this organization a down-town church. Opportunity for institutional work opens, and with the generous endowment already given, there is a bright prospect for aggressive Christian work, under the able leadership of Dr. Sprecher, who is one of the most versatile and popular ministers in Cleveland.

me$t!tiin$ter Presbyterian Cburcb.

" IN March, 1853, the Executive Committee" of the Old School Presbyterian Church sent Rev. Frederick T. Brown to Cleve- land to inquire into the practicability of organizing a church of that type. The report being favorable, Mr. Brown gathered twenty-six mem-

bers, and organized a church January i 1854. At first the meetings were held in Temperance Hall on Ontario street; then Mr. Brown bought the old " Round Church," formerly occupied by the Mil- lerites, corner of Wood and Theresa streets. Here for several years Mr. Brown, an able man, and one devotedly earnest in his work, ministered in an ac- Rev. Frederick T. Brown, D.D. ceptable manner, drawing his congregation from all denominations. Upon a list of subscribers to a fund for the building of a new church, and subscription to Mr. Brown's salary, are found the names of some of the most prominent men WESTMINSTER PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. 135

in the city at that time. The church was incorporated as " West- minster " (Old School Presbyterian) Church, of Cleveland, De- cember 12, 1855, and Charles Hickox, James Mason, Alexander

Mcintosh and John Cary were elected Trustees, and E. J. Estep, Clerk.

A house of worship was erected at the corner of Prospect and Huntington streets in 1858, and Mr. Brown continued his ministrations until during the war in 1861, when he left the work temporarily to accept the Chaplain- ship of the Seventh Ohio Regiment, and went through the campaign in West Vir- ginia. On his return, owing to the hard war times, and the difficulty of raising mone}^ to pay the church debt, Mr. Brown resigned, and was succeeded by Rev. Moses A. Hoge, who labored until Rev. Moses A. Hoge, D.D. September lo, 1865. In April, 1866, the Rev. S. P. I^ynn was called. He served the church until April, 1867, and was succeeded by Rev. V. A. lycwis, whose pastorate ceased in the early part of 1869.

On the first Sabbath of April, 1870, the Rev. E. B. Raffen- sperger took charge of the church. He was installed April 16,

1 87 1. The Old and the New School Presbyterian Churches having united, an effort was made by the Cleveland Presbytery to strengthen this enterprise. For a time, with the hearty co- operation of the Presbyterian Union, the church increased in strength, but many of its members having moved near the new Memorial, now Case Avenue Presbyterian Church, and the church occupying the same field as that of the Euclid Avenue Church, Mr. Raffensper- ger finding the existence of a debt, of which he was not aware when he was installed, resigned, and closed his labors March 30, 1873.

Rev. V. A. Lewis. Re/. E. B. Rafft-nspeiger, D.D. was disbanded, b}- order of Presbyter}', and the property was sold to pay the existing debts. The building passed into the possession of the Methodist Church. It was moved to the present site of the Epworth Memorial M. E. Church, where it was used until the present structure was erected. north Presbyterian Cburcb.

AT the suggestion of Dr. Aiken, pastor of the First Church, a Sunday-school was started in 1S59 on the north side of St. Clair street near Lyman street. Charles W. Xoble, Esq., was its first superintendent. At that time the community was called Wasonville. a name taken from the car shops owned by Charles Wason. In i860 the school moved to the south side of St. Clair street, to a place now owned by the Lake Shore Welsh Church Society.

Here the school continued until it entered a church, erected on Aaron street in the spring of 1867. This was its abiding place for a period of twenty years, until it entered the present building on the corner of Case avenue and Superior street. 138 HISTORY OF CIvEVEI^AND PRESBYTERIANISM.

During this time the school had six superintendents, as fol- to Hon. T. D. lows : Charles W. Noble, Esq., from 1859 1864; Crocker, 1864 to 1872; Henry Nash, 1872 to 1873; T.D.Crocker again, 1873 to 1874; H. S. Davis, 1874 to 1875; W. B.

Porter, 1875 to 1876; h- J. Talbot, 1876 to 1879. In 1879, Mr. S. P. Fenn was elected superintendent, and for almost seventeen years he has been the greatly beloved and remarkably successful superintendent of this school, which for many years has been one of the largest in Cleveland. The number now

on the roll is somewhat over 1200. Rev. William Gaston, D.D. As early as 1866, regular preaching services began at the mission, with Rev. Aaron Peck as supply for one year. Rev. B. P. Johnson supplied from 1867 to 1868; Rev. D. W. Sharts, from 1868 to 1870. Rev. Dr. Goodrich, and Elders R. F. Smith and George H. Ely, by order of Presbytery, organized the church September 19, 1870. The church started with fifty-one members, all of whom brought their letters from the First Church. James Geekie was made its

first ruling elder. Dr. Goodrich named the organization the North Church, after the old North Church in Boston. Rev. Anson Smyth, D. D., was called as the

first pastor of the church. He remained two years, but was never installed. He was an excellent preacher, a tender- hearted and kind man, and a successful worker. Dr. Smyth was succeeded by Rev. H. R. Hoisington, who was in-

stalled, as pastor, June 2, 1872. Mr. Hoisington was a man of fine Christian Rev. Anson Smyth, D.D. Samuel Campbell Adolpii C. Eckert. Sereiio P. Fenii.

character, who had the affection of the congregation, laboring diligently and faithfully until July 11, 1880. Dr. William Gaston, the present pastor, began his work in

this field November i, 1880, and under his wise executive, and indefatigable pastoral abilit}', the North Church has greatly prospered. Almost eighteen hundred persons have been received into membership in this church, of which number one-half have been added since the present church building was erected, eight years ago. In addition to the help of the ordinary membership in the past six years, the pastor has had valuable assistants,

namely. Miss M. J. Weaver for nearly

three years, Rev. Charles L,. Chalfant for a few months, and Miss Anna C. Stevens for nearly two years. One of the most powerful agencies for growth in this church has been the Christian En- deavor Society, or Societies, for there are three of these organizations, which have called out a wealth of talent among the young people who are coming into the church. Two Sunday-schools have been

Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church is the result of a mission started on Becker avenue, and the second mission was organized in an unoccupied school house in Glenville July 3, 1893. This has grown into the Glenville Presbyterian Church. The lot, corner of Case avenue and Superior street, which the present North Church occupies, was purchased by the congregation at a cost of $10,000. The congregation purchased the organ, also, at an expense of $2,700, but the building, which cost about $27,000, was erected by the First Church with a little help from other churches. This building, admirably adapted for Sunday- .school work, was dedicated October 23, 1887. During the past

3'-ear, the church has been renovated at an expense of $1,300. The congregations are large, especially at the evening service, and a large annual ingathering of souls is not an exceptional experience, but the rule. Louis K. McLiiiii.

THE project of a new Presbyterian church, in the vicinity of Case avenue, had its rise among the members of the Euclid Avenue Presbyterian Church, under the pastorate of Dr. Lyman. It was deemed advisable to occupy the field in advance by the establishment of a Sunday- school. Mr. and Mrs. Donley Hobart having obtained pledges enough to secure the regular attendance of a sufficient number of children to warrant the undertaking, two other members of the Euclid Avenue Church, Elders Mrs. D. Hobart. Truman Hastings and Dr. F. S. Slosson, were appointed a committee to organize the school, and to superintend its progress. On the first Sabbath of November, 1867, in a small 152 HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBYTERIANISM. brick grocery, the school was organized. The weather being inclement, there was a small gathering of eight teachers and fourteen scholars. With Mr. Hastings, as superintendent, were the following teachers: J. D. Crehore, Donley Hobart, Mrs. Donley Hobart, Mrs. T. Hastings, Fred Whittlesey, Mrs. Fred Whittle- sey and Mrs. Louisa J. Patterson. The original roll of scholars was Newton B. Hobart, Clara Hobart, Ella Hobart, John B. Hobart, Herbert L,oomis, Howard Looniis, Helen Patterson, Adelaide Patterson, Wallace W. Ludlow, Arthur C Ludlow, Nelly Taber, Charles Diepold, Charles R. Chandler and Louise Chandler. Of this number of scholars, John B. Hobart and Arthur C. Ludlow are Presby- terian clergymen; Miss Clara Hobart is the wife of Rev. H.

A. Schauffier, D. D , and Miss

Ella Hobart is a city missionary, engaged in the Congre- gational work among the Poles of Cleveland. The second Sunday over forty scholars were present. Truman Hast- ings, William G. Williams and

J. B. Meriam were the superintendents of the school, while

it was a mission of the Euclid Avenue Church. With an Rev. Finley F. Kennedy. increase of scholars, the school removed from Ford's grocery, at the southeastern corner of Case and Cedar avenues, to an unfinished dwelling on Case avenue. Early in 1868, a subscription was opened among the members of the Euclid Avenue Church, payable to Truman Hastings, H. R. Hatch, and George L- Ingersoll, in trust for the purchase or lease of a suitable lot, and for the erection of a chapel thereon, with a condition that the property should ultimately be conveyed to a new Presbyterian church, which it was supposed would be organized in that neighborhood. The amount subscribed was about $2,000. With this a lot was purchased on Sibley street near Case avenue, and on this lot a wooden chapel was erected. Simul- taneously with the starting of this Sunday-school, a weekly CASE AVENUE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. I53

prayer-meeting was established, which was merged in time into the prayer-meetingprayer-ineeiii of the chnrch that grew out of the school. At a meeting of the Presbyterian Union held January 10, 1870, this enterprise received hearty endorsement, and with the moral support of the Union, %^^k ^ Rev. James A. vSkinner, the third ^^^ Sabbath of January, 1870, commenced J^^n '^ holding Sabbath evening services in the ^^^^^B/bK^^^^^^ chapel, and the first Sabbath of April, ^^^^^^T^ ^^^^^m 1870, Mr. Skinner began to hold morn- ^^^^^^k ^^^^r ing and evening services. The first ^^^1^ ^^^ Sabbath of September, 1870, at the close

Rev. James A. Skinner. of the morning service, a committee consisting of Messrs. Hastings, Taber, Preston, Van Tine, Hopkins, Hobart, Pierce, Walter, and Betts, was appointed to request the Presbytery to appoint a commission to make the necessary inves- tigations, as the way seemed clear to organize a Presbyterian church. On the second day of October, 1870, the commission of Presb5'ter3^ met in the chapel, and in the presence of a large congregation proceeded to organized the Memorial Presbyterian Church, with thirty-four charter members. The first Elders were Trnman Hastings, Thomas Taber, and Dr. John C. Preston. Mr. Donley Hobart was elected Deacon, and the services were concluded by the administration of the

Lord's Supper. Sunday, November 6, 1870, the Case Avenue Mission Sunday- school was formally surrendered to the care of the session of the Memorial Pres- byterian Church. From the beginning, this enterprise received the sympathy and most liberal support of the members of the mother church. The wooden chapel was soon outgrown, and the lot on the corner of Case and Cedar avenues was purchased, and in 1872 the brick chapel Rev. Francis A. Horton, D.D. was built and occupied. Mr. Skinner continued to labor in connection with this church, as stated supply, until some time in December, 1873. During his ministry 154 HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBYTERIANISM. the church increased in strength and numbers. December 22, 1872, the church issued its first pastoral call, sending the ^p,.,, same to Rev. Francis A. Horton, then J/^^Sbr .,^* pastor of the Reformed Church, of Cats- M kill, N. Y. Mr. Horton accepted the

' -^ -w^ call, and began his labors on the second Sabbath of February, 1874, and was in- ->

dedicated July 3, 188 1. Mr. Horton

' - , ,,-^' went from the Case Avenue Church (for the name was changed from Memorial to

Rev. Rollo Ogden, . . ^ . ^ , _, , Case Avenue Presbyterian Church m 1878), to Oakland, California. The greater part of Mr. Horton's pastorate was in the brick chapel, but he labored to see what might have come earlier, had it not been for the panic in the early seventies, a new church building, and a prosperous congregation. Rev. Rollo Ogden, who had been an associate pastor of the First Church, but who had more recently labored in Mexico, had returned to Cleveland, on account of the critical illness of his wife, a daughter of Dr. Arthur Mitchell, about the time Mr. Hor- ton departed. He was called to the Case Avenue Church, and was installed April 29, 1883. He was a man of high talent, but left the ministry of the Presbyterian Church, April i, 1887. He has since been engaged in hterary work, and at present is connected with a New York paper. The church then called Rev. P. E. Kipp, who was installed

July 5, 1887. Mr. Kipp, like Dr. Horton, came from the Dutch Reformed Church of New York State. Mr. Kipp labored in this church until November 15, 1894, when, on account of the ill-health of 11 , ^ Rev. P. E. Kipp. Mrs. Kipp, he was compelled to seek1 a milder climate. He accepted a call to the Presbyterian Church laboring sue- at San Diego, California, where he is at present Alfred Adams. Walter R. Austin. oiiu liarclnv.

IN 1855 the Mayflower Sunday-school, which had been organized two years before, was adopted as a Mission of the Second Presb3^terian Church, and a building was erected on a lot, given by Mr. Joseph Perkins of the Euclid Avenue Presbyterian Church. Messrs. T. P. Handy, T. Dwight, Dan P. Eells, and C.

J. Dockstader, were successively Superintendents. Reverends Little and Day preached, and otherwise fostered this work, which issued at last in the formation of the Woodland Avenue Presby- terian Church. The first effectual step toward the organization of this church w^as taken at a small meeting held in the autumn of 1870, at the Willson School-house. A committee was appointed to act with the Presbyterian Union in raising money. If this committee should be successful it was authorized to procure a site, and to proceed to the erection of a chapel. Generous friends re- sponded promptly and liberally to the call, and the lot was pur- l62 HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBYTERIANISM. chased, and the work on the building commenced the next summer. The lower room was ready for occupancy early in April, 1872, and the chapel was completed in Ma}^, the total cost being over $27,000. The first available funds that came into the hands of this committee consisted of a legacy of $1,000, left for this purpose by Mrs. Sarah C. Adams, for twenty years a missionary among the Zulus at Port Natal, South Africa. The societ}' was organized at the Cleveland Protestant Orphan Asylum, at the corner of Woodland and Willson avenues, on the i8th

Rev. Robert G. Hutchins, D.D. of January, 1872. Early in April a Sabbath-school was formed, and the Mayflower Mission School was turned over to its care. The church was organized April 18, 1872, with fifty-four members. Of these twenty-eight were from Presbyterian churches, chiefly from the Second Church, and twenty-three were from Congregational churches, chiefly from Plymouth Church. Three persons united upon confession of faith. The first pastor. Rev. E. P. Gardner, was installed June 30th, 1872. He was well fitted for the work of laying the foundation of the church. His deep piety and fervent zeal for the Master soon permeated the whole church, and during the four years pastorate there were added to the church, from congregation and from Sunday-school, 246 members. In the spring of 1876 Mr. Gardner's health Rev. E. P. Gardner. failed, and he did not resume the ministry for several years. He is, at present, pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Chatham, New Jersey. Thomas H. Beckwitli. M. Borts, M. D. John Buchaii.

The second pastor, Rev. S. Leroy Blake, D.D., was called from Concord, N. H., and installed December 12, 1877. Mr. Blake remained pastor until March, 1880. His genial manner, earnest appeals and activity in the work soon won the favor of the congregation, and during his pastorate, under the blessing of the Spirit, 252 were added to the church on confession of faith, and 104 by letter. At present Dr. Blake is pastor of a Con- gregational church at New London, Conn. The third pastor. Rev. George I,. Spining, D.D., was called from Kalamazoo, Mich., and was installed

bers to the church. He resigned October 2, 1885, and is now

pastor of the Presbyterian Church at South Orange, N. J. The fourth pastor, Rev. Paul F. Sutphen, D.D., was called in January, 1886, from the Third Presbyterian

Church of Elizabeth, N. J. This pastorate of seven years was richly blessed, there being added to the church nearly 1,000 souls. Rev. Mr. Sutphen

preached his last sermon December 1 1 1892, having accepted a call to the

Second Church of Newark, N. J., and after short pastorates in Newark and Philadelphia, Mr. Sutphen has returned Rev. George L. Spining, D.D. to Cleveland as pastor of the Second. Presbyterian Church, the mother of the Woodland Avenue Church. Mr. Sutphen was succeeded in the Woodland Avenue Church by Rev. Charles Townsend, who had been pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Lansingburgh, N. Y. He assumed charge of the pastorate the first Sunday of May, 1893, and was installed the following Tuesday evening. After a very successful pastorate of two years, with an addition of nearly 200 to the roll, Mr. Townsend accepted a call to the First Presby-

terian Church of Orange, N. J. The church then called the Rev. Robert G. Hutchins, D.D., formerly pastor of a church in lyos Angeles, he having just returned from a visit to the Hawaiian Islands. He was installed October 22d, 1895. The Sunday-school of this church has long been the largest in Cleveland, reaching one year a membership of 1623, and adding to the church in all 911. The membership of the church in twenty years increased from fifty-four to 1141. From the beginning 1135 have been re- Rev. Paul F. Sutphen, D.D. ceived on confession of faith, and 770 by certificate, a total of 1905. It is not surprising that, with a growth so phenomenal. Ifi

Such a record is unparalleled. Although the Woodland Avenue Church has suffered somewhat by the eastward trend of population, there is a large field of usefulness remaining, and under wise leadership this very successful church will accomplish still greater things for the Master. ;;

THE Willson Aveuue Church had its origin in a Union Sunday-school enterprise, not many rods from the spot where the present edifice stands. A subscription paper having been passed, a small chapel costing ^1,350 was started in the month of February, 1874. There were five trustees in charge of the enterprise. Three were members of the Disciple Church, one was a Methodist, and one was a Presbyterian. On the 12th of April following, the new building was occupied for the first time. A week from that date Dr. Gerould organized a Sunday-school, ninety-two persons being present. The office of superintendent, however, soon passed into the hands of Mr. L. W. Bingham, who WILLSON AVENUE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. l8l held the position for three years. During the first year of its existence the Sunday-school increased to about 200 members. Services were often held in the chapel, and during the early part of 1875 there was a reviv^al that spiritually (juick- ened the work, and the attendance constantly increased. In the month of March, 1S77, the Second Presbyterian Church was attracted to the field, purchased the property, and carried on the work under Presbyterian auspices. At the time of this change Mr. Dan P. Eells became superintendent of the school,

Rev. Arthur J, Waugh. and continued to act in this capacity for six years. The work took a deep hold upon his heart, and he continued to sacri- fice time and monej' for the good of the enterprise, which greatly prospered under his guiding hand. There was a large infant class taught by Mrs. Charles H. Beardslee, who did noble work among the little ones until the Lord called her home. The school constantly increased in attendance until, in 1881, the enrollment was over 600. Additions were made from time to time to the chapel, which became crowded to its utmost capacity. Preaching services began to be held quite regularly, attracting people of all denominations. Rev. H. R. Hois- ington held such services in the fall of 1879. Beginning with May, 1880,

Rev. H. J. Steward preached regularly for about five months, and his labors were held in high esteem. After Rev. Carlos T. Chester. his departure Rev. J. H. Laughlin, who has since labored as a missionary in China, occupied the pulpit 1 82 HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBYTERIANISM. for nearly nine months. He was succeeded by the Rev. Carlos T. Chester, who was called from the pastorate of the Andrew Presbyterian Church, of Minneapolis. He entered upon his labors the 14th of August, 1881. He was given charge of the enterprise, and, with the assistance of his efficient wife, the work made rapid progress. Mr. Chester had not labored many months before the Presbytery organized the little community of believers into a church. This took place the 21st of March, 1882. Rev. Charles S. Pomeroy, D.D., pastor of the Second Church, with

Rev. J. A. Seymour, acted as a commission of the Presbytery for this purpose. This was on a Wednesday evening, and there were twenty-three charter members. A week from the following Sunday, however, twenty-five more came

into the church, so that it practically ^^ started with forty-eight members. Mr. ' v^ John A. Hartness, Mr. Samuel Evison, and

- * , Mr. Charles H. Beardslee were elected elders. Mr. Charles Craigie was made a deacon. The first trustees were Messrs. C. H. Beardslee, S. Evison, H. P. Eells,

Dr. R. Horton, T. R. Whitehead and J. A.

Dan P. Eells. Hartness. Rev. Mr. Chester was formally installed as pastor of the church by the

Presbytery of Cleveland May 14, 1882, his father-in-law, Rev. Charles Hawley, D.D., of Auburn, N. Y., preaching the sermon.

Mr. Eells, being still identified with the Siniday-school, saw the pressing need of a larger building. He purchased a lot on Willson avenue at the corner of Lexington, and entered upon the erection of a church for the rapidly growing congregation. The corner-stone of the present beautiful structure was laid in Aug- ust, 1883. Early in the next 3'ear it was ready for occupancy, and in the spring of 1S84, the whole property was deeded to the trustees of the church. The building is of brick, with light stone trimmings, and its cost was $30,000. Thus, within two years, the church had attained a membership of 115, and found itself in possession of property worth $37,000, all through the generosity of one man. Mr. Chester continuedas pastor of the church until the ist of November, 18S9, when he resigned to accept editorial work in the office of "The Sunday School Times," of Philadelphia. B. B. Bluiidell.

During his pastorate there was a constant growth in membership, the number of communicants at the time of his departure being about 235. During the following interim, Rev. E. Bush- nell, D.D., supplied the pulpit for some weeks.

Rev. Arthur J. Waugh, who had been serving the church at Willoughby for nearly ten years, was called to the vacant pulpit.

He began his labors on the ist of April, 1S90. During the first year sixty-four were added to the church, making a net increase of fifty-five. Since that time the large territory that the church controlled has become more limited, fifteen other churches having

been built in the vicinity. At present, the membership is a little more than 300. In October, 1893, the pastor, with several of his helpers, organized a mission Sunday-school on the corner of Willson avenue and St. Clair street. This mission has prospered, and has an enrollment of 150. ;

MR. T. S. BECKWITH, for many years an Elder of the Sec- ond Presbyterian Church, who died March 25, 1876, made by will the following provisions for the erection of a church, or churches in Cleveland, v,'hich should bear his name:

" I give and bequeath to the Session of the Second Presbyterian Church (as agents) my Coal Stock in the Cleveland, Pittsburgh & New York Coal Co., to be held bj- them in trust, and the dividends to be by them re-invested without spending any of it until the income from it shall amount to ten thousand dollars, then the said Session shall build a church with said income of ten thousand dollars, in which the pews shall be forever free to all. The said Session shall then engage a pastor to preach in said church, and shall pay his salary, or such part of it as the congregation shall fail to pay, from the income from the coal stock. The stock, or the value of it if the Company should dissolve, shall be kept forever as a fund to support the pastor of said church, or the pastors of the churches hereinafter described, and to build said churches. The church to be located where the Session think that it will do the most good, in the city of Cleve- I go HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBYTERIANISM.

land. The church shall be called the Beckwith Church so long as it shall be supported in whole or in part by this fund. When the church becomes able to support itself in whole or in part, then the Session shall build another church at the same cost, as soon as they are able, with the income from the stock, and hire a pastor, as before. The Session shall continue to do so forever. And in ever}- instance the church shall be called the Beckwith Church of the street or district in which it stands."

The session of the Second Church became an incorporated bod3% and accepted this trtist. By the summer of 1883, a sufficient fund had accumulated to warrant beginning work upon a chapel, a lot on the corner of Fairmount and Deering streets having been purchased by Mrs. Beckwith and deeded to the session of the Second Church for this purpose. By the close of 1884 the chapel was completed, and the Rev, Mat- toon M. Curtis, pastor of the Reformed Dutch Church, of

Hastings, N. Y. , was invited to take charge of the work. He accepted, and entered upon his labors January 11, 1885, the chapel having been opened for its first service the previous Sunday, the Rev. E. Bushnell, D.D., treasurer of Adelbert Rev. James D. Williamson. College, preaching in the morning, and the Rev. C. S. Pomeroy, D.D., pastor of the Second Church, in the evening. A Sunday-school was organized the first Sunday that the chapel was opened, and has since been maintained without interruption. June 17, 1885, Beckwith Presbyterian Church was organized with twenty-three members. The Rev. Mattoon M. Curtis was elected and installed as pastor, with Frederic A. Kendall as elder, and Elton G. Norris as deacon. The sermon was preached by Dr. C. S. Pomeroy. The charge to the pastor was given by Dr. Wilton Merle Smith, and to the people by Dr. E. Btishnell. The pastoral relation thus formed was continued until April i, 1888, when it was dissolved Josephus Craft, M. 1). Frederic A. Kendall.

at the request of Mr. Curtis, that he might study and travel abroad. His pastorate had been so signally blessed in the building up of the church, and so completel5" had he won the love and esteem of all, that Ids resignation was accepted with the utmost reluctance and sorrow. After some years of study abroad. Dr. Curtis accepted the call to become Handy Professor of Intel-

lectual Philosophj' in Adelbert College, where lie now teaches within sight of his old pastorate. That there might be no interruption to the work so auspicioush- begun, steps were taken to immediately secure another pastor, and the Rev. James D. Williamson, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Warren, was called. He accepted, and entered upon his work

April I, iSSS, there being thus no break between the close of Mr. Curtis' pastorate and the beginning of Mr. Williamson's service. Mr. Williamson was installed as pastor of the church April 22, iSSS, and still remains in that relation. During the year 1SS9, the need of a church building in addition to the chapel began to be urgently felt, if the work of the church was to be suc-

Rev. Mattoon M. Curtis. Ph.D. cessfully and vigorously prosecuted. The matter was brought before the

Presb3"terian Union at its annual meeting, held in January, 1S90, and the Union recommended that the church be encouraged to applj- to the churches for the $10,000, required to supplement their own exertions. The work of raising the amount required was immediately undertaken, but for a time with meager success. At length, however, the Second Church very generously re- sponded to the need with a pledge for the entire S 10,000, and this having been supplemented with gifts from members of other Presbj'terian churches, the Society of the Beckwith Church, at a

meeting held April 9, 1S91, empowered the Building Committee to undertake at once the construction of the desired building. Plans prepared bj' Mr. Wm. W. Sabin were adopted, and the corner-stone was laid with appropriate ceremonies September 6, BECKWITH MEMORIAL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. 1 93

1891. The church was completed in May, 1892, and cost, exclusive of the organ and memorial window, about $26,000. The dedication took place Sunday, May 15, 1892. At the hour of morning service a farewell meeting was held in the chapel, at which addresses were made by the pastor, by the former pastor. Professor Curtis, and by two of the early members of the church.

Captain F. A. Kendall and Professor Charles J. Smith. The dedication services proper were held at 3 p. m.. Dr. C. S. Pome- roy preaching the sermon. Dr. H. C. Haydn preached at the evening service In the erection and furnishing of the new church building the congregation is greatly indebted, not only to the pastors and members of the Second Church and the Old Stone Church, but also to the family of the generous founder of the church. Special mention should be made of the memorial organ, the gift of Mrs. Beckwith in memory of her son, and of the memorial window, the gift of Mr. Beckwith in memory of his father. This church is in close proximity to the educational center of

Cleveland, and although Adelbert College is not a denominational institution, it is largely the product of Presbyterian money and devotion. Very fitting, then, is it that a Presbyterian Church has been located near this institution of learning, in which so much Presbyterian interest centers. There have been received into membership of this church since its organization about 400 persons, and although much of the territory, which it was thought would be tributary to the church, remains to a considerable extent unoccupied, under the faithful labors of Mr. Williamson and his people, the church is destined to have a sure, if slow, development. 194 HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBYTERIANISM.

BETHANY Presbj'terian Church is the substantial expression of a desire for Presbyterian representation on the West Side, and is the last in a series of five attempts to accomplish that result. The first was in 1870, and was unsuccessful. The second was in 1873, when the Presbyterian Union undertook to accomplish it, but on account of the financial panic of that year the project was abandoned. The following 3'ear, 1874, a third attempt resulted in failure. A fourth attempt was made at a date now unknown, when regular Sunday services and other work were maintained for six months, and then abandoned. The fifth attempt resulted in the organization of Bethany Church. This successful movement was inaugurated by the Presbyter- ian element residing on the West side, and in that respect differed from the preceeding efforts, to which reference has been made. The first Sunday in January, 1888, forty children were gathered in the rooms of the Ohio Business University on Pearl street, through BETHANY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. 1 99 the efforts of Mr. Charles Fay, then a ineniljer of the Old Stone Church. Mr. 'Fay was an earnest and warm-hearted Christian, having a great love for children, and remarkable power in attracting them to him. In this matter Mr. Fay had labored under the advice of the Rev. Wilton Merle Smith, then associate pastor ot the First Church. Previous to the organization of the school, Mr. Smith called together the pastors of the various West Side churches, to whom he stated his desire to establish a school on the West Side, first, because of what seemed to him ah existing need, and second to provide Christian work for a number of the young people of the First Church, who were not then engaged in regular church work. To these pastors Mr. Smith further stated that there was no thought of establishing a Presbyterian church, but only of maintaining a mission vSunday-school under the auspices of the First Church. The project, as outlined by Mr. Smith, received the most cordial endorsement of every pastor present at that conference. The school was then opened, as has been stated. It increased rapidly, and at the end of six months had an enrollment of nearly four hundred. At the same time that this work was begun, the Rev. Giles H. Dunning entered upon his duties as assistant pastor of the First Church, and at once, by direction of the session, took charge of the work. Frequent and earnest requests were made for a Pres- byterian preaching service in connection with the school, and an afternoon service was finally established. Then followed requests for the organization of a Presbj^terian church. The matter was reported to the session of the First Church, whereupon Mr. Dunning was directed to canvass the West Side with the view of ascertaining the extent of this desire. The result of this canvass was such as to lead the pastor and elders of the First Church to feel that the time had come, at last, for the organization of a Pres-

byterian church on the West Side. After due deliberation it was

decided to recommend to the Presbyterian Union that it take the work under its fostering care, and proceed to efifect the organization of a church. The Union took favorable action upon the recommendation, and with its endorsement and assurance of financial aid, the p^titioners presented their formal request to the Presbytery of Cleveland to be erected into a church. The re(|uest

was granted, and Bethany Church was duly organized, July 2, 200 HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBYTERIANISM.

1889, in the rooms of the Ohio Business University, where the mission school had been organized just eighteen months before. There were sixty-one charter members, of which number fifty-six joined by letter, twenty-two from the Old First, and the remain- der from various other churches in the cit}^ and in different parts of the country, and Scotland. Five came upon confession of faith, and all were Presbyterian stock. The church continued to worship in the rooms where it was organized until the following

February, i8go, when it moved into attractive quarters in the new Wieber Block, corner of Pearl and Jay streets, which it had leased for a term of five years, and furnished at an expense of $1,200.

April I, 1894, the society purchased a lot, situated at the corner of Gordon avenue and West Clinton street, at a cost of $4,000. This was done upon the advice of the Presbyterian Union, with the assurance that the Union would provide the means for the erection of a chapel at a cost not to exceed $10,000. This en- gagement the Union has duly fulfilled. The chapel, which has a stone front and brick side walls, was commenced September 29,

1894, and was dedicated June 2, 1895. The Rev. Giles H. Dunning, who was identified with this work almost from the time of its beginning, as a Sunday-school, was called to the pastorate of the church immediately after its organization, and entered upon his duties August i, 1889. His- installation took place September 26, following. The first officers of the church were: Elders, Noah S. Amstutz, John Cameron, and George Taylor; Alexander W. Calder, though not an elder, was made Clerk of the Ses.sion, and subsequently was elected an elder; Trustees, James McL^earie, President; Hugh Taylor, Sec- retary; T. W. Hunt, Treasurer; David Taylor, John Smith and James McKay. The trustees were also chosen to the office of deacon. This was adopted as a distinct line of policy at the beginning, and has been continued to the present time. The church is well organized, having a I,adies' Aid Society, which has raised the sum of $1,295. This has been expended in aid of the church and various charitable enterprises. Bethany Church is now finely located in a new and' growing community, and the promise of a strong Presbyterian Church upon the West Side is bright.

THE histor}^ of the South Presbyterian Church is the history of the organization and growth of a Mission Sunday-school. In the fall of 1890, Rev. William Gaston, D.D., pastor of the North Presbyterian Church, preached three times to a little gathering of people upon the South Side, who seemed desirous of organizing a Sunday-school, if not a church, and during October of that year, under the leadership of Rev. Alonzo Michael, a hall was rented for Sunday-school purposes. January i, 1S91, the newly organized school moved into the Benhoff Block on Pearl street, where it grew rapidly. The necessity of a church organization was soon felt. Rev. Alonzo Michael was a Presbyterian minister living on the South Side, without any regular charge by rea- son of ill-health, and not being physically able to assume the full responsibility of such a new work, the Presbj'terian Union engaged, in May, 1891, Rev. James D. Corwin to take charge of 2o6 HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBYTERIANISM.

this work in connection with that of the Madison Avenue, or East End Mission. Mr. Corwin was a native of Cleveland, a member of the Woodland Avenue Presbyterian Church, and a recent graduate of Adelbert College, and of Princeton Seminary. Under the direction and control of the Presbyterian Union, and with the hearty co-operation of the people interested in this South Side enterprise, steps were taken by Mr, Corwin toward the erection of a church edifice. The Mission in the meantime had been crowded out of the rooms in the Benhoff Block, and had moved into the rooms of the Funeral Re- form Association on Pearl street. A lot situated at the corner of Scranton avenue and Prame street was purchased b}^ the Union,

and upon it the present church building was erected. The first religious meeting held in this building was an early morning prayer-meeting, New Year's day, Rev. John L. Roemer.

I S92. At the previous fall meeting of the Cleveland Presbyter}^ permission had been given to form a Presbyterian Church, and January 21, 1892, the Presbyter- ial Committee, consisting of Rev. Paul F. Sutphen, D.D., and Elders R. F. Smith and James A. Robinson, duly organized the South Presbyterian Church. The work now demanding the whole care of a minister, a call was issued to Mr. Corwin, who, up to this time, had divided his labors between the two mission pro- jects, then under care of the Presbyterian Union. Mr. Corwin was installed pastor of this young church May 3, 1892, but his ministerial career, so earnestly and Rev. James D. Corwin. laboriously begun, was soon cut short. After a brief illness of typhoid fever, he died September 26, 1892. E. W. Denison. John S. Kvjuis.

FOR some 3'ears prior to 1878, a Union Sunday-school had been maintained on Euclid avenue, beyond Willsou avenue,

when the latter was tlie eastern boundary of the cit}-. Members of several churches, among whom were T. Dwight Eells, H. B. Tuttle and others, were for many years interested in this mission work. The growth of churches in that direction, and the death of some of the workers led to the discontinuance of the school. In November, 187S, Dr. Haydn, pastor of the First Presbyterian

Church, was invited to reopen the work, and to prosecute it as a Presbyterian mission. This invitation was accepted as a call of Providence. The new movement began with a weekly prayer- meeting in the chapel, and this was followed by the organization of a Sunday-school, which was effected January i, 1880, with sevent3'-three persons present, Mr. L. W. Bingham acting as 214 HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBYTERIANISM.

superintendent. The school soon grew in numbers to 250, and the old chapel having been turned over to the First Chvirch, a lot was secured at the corner of Euclid and East Madison avenues, upon which the chapel was moved. Rev. Rollo Ogden was called as assistant minister by the First Church, and the first Sunday of July, 1880, church services were commenced. This first service was a communion service, and members were received. For twelve years this organization was collegiate with the First

Church, sharing its ministry, oversight, and generous co-operation. During this period the new chapel of stone was built, at a total cost of $21,000, and dedicated free of debt, September 30, 1883. The little wooden chapel, that faced Euclid avenue, was used for a primary Sunday-school, until an annex was built to the

stone chapel, at a cost of $5,000 ; the relic of other days then gave way to the foundation of the elegant new church edifice, which now occupies the corner. This edifice, begun in the autumn of 1887, was occupied for the first time

January 5, 1890, and cost the sum of $80,000. From the beginning of this enterprise, the First Church had, be-

sides sharing its ministry, invested in this church over $40,000. The local current expenses, however, had been almost wholl}' met by the Calvary con- Rev. David 0. Mears, D.D. stituency. With the rapid growth of

Calvar}^, it was deemed best to abandon the collegiate form of church life, that had existed with the First Church. May 3,

1892, Articles of Incorporation were signed by J. H. McBride,

E- W. Bingham, J. H. Danforth, and J. E. Upson, and filed in the office ot the Secretary of State, May 6, 1892. Sunday afternoon, Ma}' 22, 1892, the commissioners appointed by the Presby- tery met at Calvary Church, and organized the church, with 308 members from the First Church, two members from the Wood- land Avenue, and one from the Case Avenue Church, making a total of 311 charter members. This meeting was addressed by a number of the ministers present. Ma}' 27, 1892, a meeting was held to adopt rules and regulations for the government of the Seymour F. Adams. David B. Andrews.

Mears, D.D., of Worcester, Mass. This call was accepted, and Dr. Mears preached his first sermon, as pastor, April 23, 1893. This pastorate was not long. November 17, 1895, Dr. Mears offered his resignation, and December 2, 1895, at a special meeting of the Presbytery, the pastoral relation was dissolved. During Dr. Mears' pastorate there were added to the church membership fifty-seven on profession of faith, and 243 on certificate, making the total addition 300. Calvary Church is located in the very heart of the East End, the residence portion of Cleveland, and ought to become, not only the strongest Presbyterian Church of the city, but of the state, and one of the most noted of the Pres- byteri-an Church, at large.

The only other .superintendent the school has had since its organization was Mr. W. H. Pancoast, who served a short term during the year 1890. The Sunday-.school moved from the hall on Becker avenue, March 30, 1890, to a little chapel on Lockyear avenue, owned by a German church. In February,

1 89 1, Rev. Alonzo Michael was secured to preach Sunday afternoons after Sunday-school, but owing to ill-health he resigned. In May, 1891, Rev. James D. Corwin was appointed by the Pres- byterian Union to take charge of the school, then known as the 226 HISTORY OF CI.EVEI.AND PRESBYTERIANISM.

East End Mission, devoting one-half of his time to this new work, and one-half to the South Side Mission, which became, in time, the South Presbyterian Church. Mr. Corwin accepted a call to the South Church in January, 1892. The 6th of the following May, Rev. Charles E. Chalfant took charge of the East End Mission under the direction of the North Church Session, and the 14th of September, 1892, the Presbytery granted a petition

for a church organization, which was effected October 19, 1892. The church started with ninety charter members, of which number sixty-four came from the North Church and seventeen upon confession of their faith, only nine coming from other churches by letter. Mr. E. J. Climo was elected elder, and installed by the committee of Pres- bytery, At the same time. Rev. Charles E- Chalfant was called to the pastorate, and was installed November 10, 1892. The Madison Avenue Church owes much to the generous friends in the First, Calvary, and North Presbyterian Churches for their aid in securing a building. Through the instrumentality of Dr. Haydn, over $9,000 were raised in the First and Calvary Churches, and expended on the Rev. Charles L. Chalfant. site and building, while Dr. Gas- ton sent what was still more needful than a building, sixty-five members from the North Church, into the new organization, with his encouragement and blessing. The church building, located at the corner of Wade Park and East Madison avenues, was dedicated December 4, 1892, This structure is the Sundaj^-school building, proper, of the future church edifice, which will doubt- less occupy the whole lot. In the summer of 1894, the building was enlarged and improved, at an expense of about $2,000. The growth of this church has been steady and encouraging. There have been added to the church 293 members, over 100 of whom have been received upon confession of faith. The Sunday-school has always been an important department of this church, and reports over 400 scholars. G. Walter Bruuer. Alex. W. Calder. Eclinuiul J. Climo.

eicnville Presbyterian Cburcb.

EARLY in 1S93, the Presbyterian Union instructed Rev. William Gaston, D.D., pastor of the North Presbyterian Church, some of whose members lived in Glenville, to look into the advisability of starting a church in that locality. He there- upon held a preliminary meeting June 11, 1893, at the home of John A. Leighton, on Ludwig street. Thence followed a cottage prayer-meeting, June 15, at Dr. Irwin C. Carlisle's home, on Doan street. x\t that meeting, Henry P. Winter was appointed to act with Dr. Gaston in gathering a Sunday-school. The first meeting of this school was held June 25, 1893, at the old brick school-house situated at the corner of St. Clair street and Lake \'iew avenue, at which forty-three persons were present. The following Sabbath the first officers were elected They

lisle ; Treasurer, Frank Yost ; Organist, George A. Yost, and Postmaster, Frank L. Yost. Seven teachers were chosen. The school prospered, and enjoyed also occasional preaching by

Rev. Dr. Gaston, Rev. Charles ly. Chalfant, and Rev. R. A. George. In October, 1893, the school rented the Glenville Disciple Church for Sunday afternoons, and there enjoyed preaching services after Sunday-school by the above named ministers, also, by Rev. Arthur J. Waugh, Rev. Professors Cleaveland and Curtis, Dr. Hall, Dr. Haydn, Dr. Bushnell, Rev. William Knight,

Rev. J. Iv Roemer, Rev. Arthur C. I,udlow, Rev. John A. Sey- mour, and other members of the Presbj'tery, preaching in turn. At the suggestion and through the influence of Rev. H. C, Haydn, D.D., this mission was organized by a committee of the Presbytery into the Glenville Presbyterian Church, June 10,

1 894. There were thirty-six charter members, and Rev. Charles L- Zorbaugh was given charge of the work, together with that of the Windermere congregation, the Presbyterian Union bearing part of the expense. Messrs. John A. Ivcighton, Henr}^ P. Winter, and Dr. Irwin C. Car- Rev. Theodore Y. Gardner. lisle were elected and ordained ruling elders. In order to have morning services, the Town Hall was then engaged. In the meantime, two lots at the corner of Doan and Helena streets were secured, with funds sufficient to commence the erection of a chapel. Plans prepared by William W. Sabin were adopted, and a fine chapel was erected. The society having been incorporated June 16, 1894, the incorporators met June 26, following, and elected as President of the Society,

Charles H. Moore ; Vice-President, John H. Beattie ; Secretary, Henry P. Winter; and as Trustees, Messrs. Frank Yost, Z.W. Mor-

ris, C. H. Moore, J. A. Patton, H. W. Leighton, A. H. Hinshil- wood, and Dr. I. C. Carlisle. A building committee was appointed, and by its vigorous action the chapel was begun in ^# u4

August, 1894, and joyfully dedicated May 12, 1895. This happy consummation was very largely due to the substantial gifts of such generous friends as Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Mather, Mr. and

Mrs. Iv. H. Severance, Rev. H. C. Haydn, D.D., Judge Samuel E.Williamson, Mrs. C. W. Bingham, Mr. and Mrs. Edward P. Williams, Mr. Samuel A. Raymond, Mrs. Amasa Stone, and Mrs. D. B. Chambers. Rev. Charles L. Zorbaugh having decided to take the work at Windermere, the Glenville Church called, as its first pastor. Rev. Theodore Yale Gardner. Mr. Gardner began to supply the pulpit June 23, 1895, became pastor-elect August

I St, and was installed by committee of Cleveland Presbytery, October 30, 1895. There is a bright future before this young church, located as it is in a suburb that is destined to become, in time, a populous residence portion of Cleveland. ;

THE Windermere Presbyterian Church, as well as other younger Presbyterian churches in Cleveland, owes its inception to the far-seeing action of Rev. H. C. Hadyn, D. D., pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. In the fall of 1892, noticing the drift of population toward East Cleveland, or what was formerly known as CoUamer, Dr. Hadyn purchased a lot at the south-eastern corner of Euclid avenue and Windermere street.

This point is about mid-way between Lake View Cemetery and East Cleveland hamlet, where the oldest church in the Cleveland Presbytery is located. Far enough away from the East Cleveland Church as not to seriously weaken its life, this chapel stands in a region that, with present rapid transit, is destined to be occupied by residences. The Presbyterian Union, recognizing the strategic character of the location, as related to the growth of Presbyterianism, assumed care of the enterprise. 240 HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBYTERIANISM. and under its auspices the chapel was constructed, and opened to the pubHc May 6, 1894, the total cost of the lot and building being $7,289. The property was entrusted to the charge of a committee of the Union, consisting of Messrs. S. F. Adams,

C. H. Fuller, W. C. McEwen and J. D. Chambers. About this time the Glenville Presbyterian Mission was also formed, and the two fields were associated, and placed under the ministerial care of Rev. Charles L. Zorbaugh, who was called to the work from the graduating class of McCormick Theological Seminary. For a year the work at Windermere was conducted under this joint arrangement, at first with only a small Sunday- school and praj'er-meeting, but later with Sunday evening preaching service. The situation was unique, as the chapel was neither a mission, nor yet a church.

Practically it was an independent preaching station, waiting to provide future comers with a church home. It had not long to wait. In May, 1895, the Pres- byterians of Glenville entered their beautiful chapel, and parted company with Windermere, and the latter now carried on all the regular services of a church, Rev. Charles L. Zorbaugh. though still with very few worshipers. The summer and fall brought new families to the neighborhood, and new faces to the chapel, and the growing demand for a church home resulted in the organization of the

Windermere Presbyterian Church, January 5, 1896, with a charter membership of thirty. Rev. Mr. Zorbaugh was called to the pastorale of this young church, and was installed February 10, 1896. The young church begins life under happy auspices. Its offices are splendidly manned with tried workers, a Christian En- deavor Societ}' has been organized, and the ladies are doing efficient work. The indications point to a rapid growth of population, which, by the hand of God, means for this church the opening of a great and effectual door of service. «t «N

Bolton Jlvenue Pre$bvterlan Cburcb.

THE Bolton iA. venue Presbyterian Church, the youngest of the church organizations connected with the Cleveland Presby-

tery, is an outgrowth, or rather an extension of the collegiate system, under which the First Presbyterian Church existed for a number of years. During the summer and fall of 1890, through the labors of Dr. Hadyn, and others of the First Presbyterian Church, a chapel was erected upon the rear of a lot, situated at the corner of Bolton and Cedar avenues. The cost of the lot and chapel, about $15,000, was wholly met by the two congregations of the First Church. This made the First Church a collegiate organization with three congregations, namely, the Old Stone, Calvary, and the Bolton Chapel. The first preaching service in Bolton Chapel was held the first Sunday in January, 1S91, and was conducted by Dr. Haydn. Services were then regularly BOLTON AVENUE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. 245 conducted b}^ Dr. Haydn, the senior pastor of the First Church, and by the associate pastors, Reverends Burt K. Howard, Joseph H. Selden, and William Knight, until July, 1892, when the Rev. R. A. George was employed by the officers of the First Church to take charge of the Bolton Chapel. This new enterprise grew rapidly, and during the years 1893-4, ^ "^w church edifice was erected. Plans prepared by William W. Sabin were adopted, and the corner-stone was laid with appropriate ceremonies May 21,

1892, and the building was dedicated November 8, 1894. The cost of this l)uilding was about v^ 2 5, 000. In the meantime the congregation had been rent in twain in the spring of 1S94, when more than half of the members,

and a still greater part of the Sunday-school, withdrew^ with Mr. George to form a Congrega- tional church. The immediate cause of this division was the attempt, on the part of the officers of the First Church, to end the term of supply of Mr. George, who had never been installed as associate pastor, in the hope of securing a permanent pastor, in whom the parish might be fully Rev. John Sheridan Zelie. united, for the new church. A call was extended in June, 1S94, to the Rev. John S. Zelie, pastor of the Congregational Church at Plymouth, Conn., who the following month became associate pastor of the First Church, in charge of Bolton Chapel. The Chapel continued its work, until it became strong enough to separate from the First Church, the collegiate system having been abandoned. The independent church organization was formed May 3, 1896, when 171 members of the First Church withdrew by letter to form the Bolton Avenue

Presbyterian Church. The same day, May 3, 1896, Rev. John vS. Zelie was installed by a committee of Presbytery, as first pastor, and under his gifted ministry, the church cannot but prosper.

IN 1630, the first Presbyterian minister in x-lmerica, Rev. Richard Denton, settled in Massachusetts. In 1643, Rev. Francis Doughty held services in New York City, and in 1644, the first Presbyterian congregation was formed at Hemstead, L- I., N. Y., in charge of Mr. Denton. In 1683, Rev. Francis Makemie began his work in Maryland. The first Presbytery was formed in 1705, and twelve years later the first Synod was formed at Philadel- phia. In 1775, the General Synod issued a pastoral letter sus- taining the Continental Congress, and in 1788, the Constitution of the Church was adopted by the General Synod. The following year, 1789, the first General Assembly met at Philadelphia. The Cumberland Presbyterian Church was organized in 18 10, and in 1838, the Presb^^terian Church divided into the Old and New School branches. The Presbyterian Church South organized at Augusta, Ga., in 1861, and in 1869, the Old and New School branches were reunited. With all these changes the Presby- terian Church has become one of the largest and most influential churches in the land. There were reported at the General As- sembly at Pittsburgh, May, 1895, 3^ Synods; 224 Presbyteries; 6,797 Ministers; 454 Licentiates; 215 I^ocal Evangelists; 1,477 Candidates; 7,496 Churches; 26,590 Elders; 9,058 Deacons; 67- 938 members added on examination; 38,734 members added by certificate, making a total membership of 922,904. The Sunday- school membership was 994, 793. The Congregational expenses of the churches for that year were $9,921,141, while the benevolent contributions amounted to $3,726,438. There are thirteen denominations in the United States that have the Presbyterian form of government, with a total membership of 1,798,365, while in the whole world there are about 30,000,000 adherents to the Presbyterian and Reformed Churches, which number ninety branches, many of which are members of the Presbyterian Alliance. The Presbyterian Church North has established in the United States about seventy-five higher institutions of learning, and Wooster University. M

Hoover Cottage. 278 HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBYTERIANISM. much Presbyterian money has been given to undenominational colleges.

In the State of Ohio, which has one Synod, there were reported at the meeting of Synod at Chillicothe, October, 1895, 17 Presbyteries; 522 Ministers; 26 lyicentiates; 160 Candidates; 639 Churches; 2,761 Elders; 880 Deacons; 94,618 communicants, and 84,694 Sunday-school scholars. The congregational expenses of the churches were ^859,806, while there were given to benevolent and miscellaneous work $415,000. In educational work Ohio Presbyterians have contributed to the establishment and maintenance of Western Reserve, Marietta, Miami, Oxford, Muskingum, and Wooster Colleges. Wooster

University, founded in 1870, is owned and controlled by the Synod of Ohio. This thriving institution is located at Wooster, O-, and we give herewith pictures of the main building, and of Hoover Cottage, recently erected for the accommodation of j'oung ladies.

This latter building is the gift of the late Frederick G. Hoover, of Sandusky. Rev. Sylvester F. Scovel. D.D., formerly a well- known pastor of Pittsburgh, is the honored President of this University, wdiich has accomplished much for Presbyterianism in the quarter century of its existence. The graduates of the Col- legiate Department number about 800, and the number of ministers and missionaries graduated equals more than forty per cent, of all male graduates. Ohio Presbyterians have one theological school, Lane Seminary, founded in 1829, at Cincinnati. Dr. Lyman Beecher was the first President, and Professor of Theol- ogy in this institution. Many prominent men have occupied the chairs of instruction. At present, the institution is passing through a transition period. Rev. E. D. Morris, D.D., L.L.D., being the only one of the older Professors upon whose shoulders has rested of late the chief responsibility of providing instruction for the increasing number of students. With the new corps of teachers, there is every prospect for the restoration of this Theological Seminary to its former usefulness and power. FINIS.

BETWKIvN the Preface and the Finis of this book, there lies a varied experience. The book has been a growth. The original plan has been subject to many changes, making the work better, we hope. The first scope of the project was a general history and directory of the Presbyterian churches of Cleveland; later this was enlarged to embrace the Presbytery, by the introduction of the articles in the fore-part of the book, touch- ing the churches outside the city. Before the end was reached, it was deemed best to add the directory of the latter churches, and so the .separation of their material occurred. A word as to the pictures in the book. Wishing to present pictures of representative Presbyterian laymen, and being unable to select a few from so large a number, we extended an invitation to all the officers of the churches to send their photographs, and in order to have the good lady workers of our churches represented, appeal for pictures was made to the past and present officers of the Presbyterial Missionary Societies. The ministers' pictures are tho.se of the present, and ex-pastors, and of the present members of the Presbytery, who are not pastors of any of the churches. It was utterly impo.ssible to extend this feature of the book .so as to embrace the many prominent officers of the churches, who are no longer living, or to include former members of the Presbytery. This will explain why many, whose memory will ever be reverenced in the different churches, are not here represented.

That there are mistakes, in a work of this nature, is to be expected. A few^ are most aggravating. P'or example, the name of Mr. Louis H. Severance, under his picture at the beginning of the article on the Presbyterian Union, has been printed Lewis, instead of Louis. The name having been first mis-.spelled in an old article on the Presbyterian Union, it naturally crept into the manuscript, and was not discovered until too late to be corrected. Considering the sources of information, and the condition of 28o HISTORY OF CLEVELAND PRESBYTERTANISM.

much of the material from which this book has been compiled, it has proved an immense task to present it in its present form. We wish to return thanks to all who have kindly aided in anj^ wa}', and notwithstanding the imperfections of the work, we hope that the book may crystallize much historical matter which will be, in years to come, a help to some future historian of Cleveland Presbyterianism. Setting forth, as the book does, the combined power of the Cleveland Presbytery, in the Centennial year of the city whose name the Presbytery bears, may it prove a stimulus to all members of the churches to labor more earnestly for the advancement of the kingdom of Christ. If this be the case, our labor will not have been in vain.
