Reminiscences from Early Life of Skaneateles By REV. WM. M. BEAUCHAMP, S. T. D., LL. D. A T MY SUMMER home on Skaneateles Lake, am altogether dependent on memory for wh at a m ask ed bri efly t o give as a prefa ce to the following pages. M y not es of ot he r days, thrice published, the last time by the Onondaga Historical Association in book form, give ample information, and may yet be had. This town had been set off from Marcel lus in 1831, just before came here, and took its Onondaga ndian name of Skaneat eles Long Lake fr om its most str iki ng natur al feature. This is the Mohawk and Oneida pronunciation, one lake in Madison County having had this for its early name. The Onondagas pronounce it as the Senecas do, as in Skaneatice or Canadice, for a town and small lake in Ontario, County. Practically these are almost unknown, locally. have found of late what looks like an ndian name applied to the Ka n-ya-to n n at Skaneateles. do n ot k now its meaning if it has one. have lately seen a very long poem on, Skaneateles, first published in an Albany paper in 1815, and copied at once in the Onondaga Register of Onondaga Hollow. The writer lived for m an y years in Skaneateles and knew all about the place. He described a day's sail on the Lake, well provisioned, the beautiful boat called the "La d y of the Lake", painted green and full decked, equipped with anchors and boat at anchorage. omit details of scenery and accounts of the very charming village ladies. The Chur ches were four in number, the Presbyterian bei ng the first and on the hill near the present standpipe. This was sold, to the Baptists, but the beautiful spire was reserved and rebuilt on the Brick Church as it was long called. Later the spire was removed and a dome took its place and recently its exterior has greatly changed. once attended the ordination of its young pastor there. St. James Church had a clock, the first bell, and the square tower fairly bristled with pinnacles afterward removed. was present at the laying of the corner stone and the consecration of the present st one church. The Methodists had a spire on their chur ch on West Genesee Street, cont rar y to their usual practice. On their removal to J or dan Street the church was taken down and rebuilt. Not so far did the Baptists go. They took down the old church on the hill and rebuilt it on its present site, but in much better form. There first attended an Odd Fellow's funeral. t was on a Sunday and the brethren came from far and near, making a grand appearance. 5

n all this, have s ai d not hi ng about the Quakers, an impor tant element in the town at an early day. M any fine farms on the Wes t Lake Road were owned by them and they were well cared for. To look at there was no difference between Hicksite and Orthodox, and had friends among both but mostly the latter, as afterward found. once attended a public wedding in their village meeting house and was ushered into "the minister's sea t" b y a Qu ak er friend. The y a re friendly people indeed. was quite a politician at fourteen years old, when Silas Wright, candidate for Governor, spoke at an outdoor mass meeting in Austin's Grove at Skaneateles in 1844. t was inspiring to see the long procession coming in from every point of the compass, great flags waving from every wagon, marshals and brass band rushing to greet and meeting incoming processions. went to another great mass meeting that year and at the two saw more coons than in all my life beside. They were treated as emblems of the Whig Party and in all kinds of ridiculous positions. Then came Lincoln's nomination in 186o and the well trained picturesque Wide Awakes, marching by night with flaming torches. The re was a radification meeting. The old time Whigs regretted that Governor Seward, seven miles away, had not been nominated. was appointed chairman of a committee of three on resolutions. We retired to prepare them. " a m not a Seward man," said. "Nei t her am ", said the other two. Th e resolutions had no regrets; but soon came Civil War. The newspapers of Skaneateles are notable. First came the Skaneateles Telegraph about 1829, think, and cont inui ng t wo or three years. have see n but on e copy of this, preserve d by Mr. Leslie. Then came the Columbian, Milton A.

M y father at one time published the Minerva, a small monthly. Then came the Free Press, efficiently managed by t he well-known Mr. Stephenson, a veteran publisher. Mr. E. N. Leslie saved many files of the Columbian and Democrat, more or less perfect, which are preserved at the library. A l i br ar y society was for med and duly incorporated at an early day in accord with the special law. These usually included valuable works selected by good judges. These books were not mentioned by M r. Leslie.. Historically he gave names of members and officers, time of meeting, beginning and end of existence. Ther e was also a school library intended to exclude wor ks of fiction, both often allowing some of high char act er. The last knew of it, it included some very valuable books. M y fat her's circulating library was a b oon to the village, beginning about 1833, when he opened a book st or e and bindery. He knew books, had read much and chose well. For a personal enterprise it was a valuable library. Then came the fire of 1835 and found him uninsured. n the 7

darkness of that night looked down from our house on the hill, on the sweeping flames on the lake shore below. saw one wooden house after another disappear in the continuous block west ward till two brick stores stayed the progress of the flames. Many an incident of that night and the following day are not forgotten by me. Tha t is th e re ason wh y you n ow have a brick block with intersecting battlements, covering the ground where the fire began and ended that night. Ear l y district schools did not rank high. We had t wo in ou r village but went to preparatory school until entered the Skaneateles Academy, then having Mr. Allen Fisk as its head. His eldest daughter taught in the young ladies' department. There learned Latin and also English Gr ammar. At this time happened a curious thing. Thomas Condon of rish birth and a young man of taste persuaded the scholars in the brick schoolhouse on West Genesee Street to fix up the disorderly school yard, lay it out nicely and plant flowers there. They did it and it was a surprise to all. For the time being he became famous. n later years he was State Geologist in Oregon. This example set the people thinking and a Union high school was the result. All the academic studies were taught in this and from it graduated. As to the building, we used first the old academy then a more convenient buildi ng was erected on t he same site and now a much finer edifice. stands on the ground where shot squirrels in the woods..my eleventh and twelfth years sp ent in my father's printing office; an education in itself but not the best place for a growing boy. was ambitious however, and thought it a fine thing to help my parents by doing a man's wor k. Then resumed school work and t hi s brought out another feature of early education in Skaneateles. The school had a weekly paper and was ma de on e of i ts edi tors. had a dislike for composition, being rather asha med of my own pr oduct ions.

The subject of debate is of minor importance. The practice is of consequence. To think quickly, to answer quickly, these are the things we seek. will not continue this personal line of thought though am thankful for the results of a combined course of debates and lectures. One feature of early life here has forever passed away, military training as it was. t combined the company, officers drills and regimental inspection and review for about 30 years. For all this time the 159th regime n t N. Y. S. Military had for its field the present towns of Skaneateles and Marcellus. Curiously enough the two flags bore not the stars and stripes. The one was the State Flag of New York, the other the regimental flag. The review was one of the great acts of the year and thoroughly 9

For a short time there was once a notable poet in Skaneateles, Wm. Ray, who wrote, while there, a poem on the " T h e Hi ve," a Quaker school conducted by Lydia Mott. An episode in her life is given by Leslie in his "Skaneateles," while living at Onondaga Hill. Mr. Ray published a volume of poems at Onondaga Hollow, L. H. Redfield being the printer. t contained, beside a brief sketch of his life, his experience as a slave in Algiers. t was the first bound volume printed in this country and issued over too years ago.

He was lavis h in gifts to Skaneat eles and Syr acuse. We had odd per sonal names for s ome of our people, British Fuller, and Yankee Fuller showed nationality, black and red Thad Edwards complexion.

Before the Town of Skaneateles was set off from the Township of Marcellus ; before Skaneateles or Marcellus villages were named, when the former was known as the West Village, and the latter was called the East \Tillage; but a very few years after the first white man settled here, a lodge of free and accepted Masons was formed. Among the settlers were a few men who had joined the Masonic fraternity in or near their home town ; these men on December 5th, 1798, presented a petition to the Grand Lodge of New York, signed by Ebenezer R. Hawley and others, praying for permissions to hold a Lodge i n the Town of Marcellus (now Skaneatel es). No repor t was ever made of this petition, as shown by the proceedings of the Grand Lodge but in tabulated statement of Lodges, under the jurisdiction of the Gr and Lodge, subsequently published, we find a Lodge warranted January 8th, 1799, under the title of the Village Lodge No. 8o Marcellus, and recognized in that manner as late as 1818. As regards the subsequent history of that Lodge, we are entirely in the dark, no evidence appearing to show that it was ever represented in the Grand Lodge, either in the person of its officers, or by proxy. At a renumbering of Lodges in 1819 its number (8o) was assigned to another Lodge, by which it would appear that the original body had become extinct; the onl y other mention of villa ge Lodge in the Grand Lodge recor ds was September 5th, 181o. A petition from sever al bret hren, praying for a wa rra nt t o h old a lodge at Owa sco Flat s, in t he Town of Sempronious and County of Cayuga, to be cal led Syl van Lodge, recommended by Village Lod ge No. 8o was rea d and repor ted t o the Grand Lodge officers.

Kellogg of Skaneateles, also belongs to Onondaga Chapter, heads the petition for the second village lodge. This petition certified " T h a t they are free and accepted Masons: that they are at present, or have been, members of regular Lodges." All of the thirteen were not members of Village Lodge No. So, but some were. Mr. Kellogg for instance might have been a member, but could not have been a charter member. He was born April 19th, 1780, in Massachusetts and came to Auburn in 180t, and Skaneateles in 1 8 0 3 where he died May 4th, 1836. There can be no doubt that he was initiated in Village Lodge No. 80. V L L A G E L O D G E No. 456. Mr. Her bert W. Greenland furnished Dr. Beauchamp most of the documents relating, to this Lodge. First is a letter from J. M. Allen, then Post Master at Clintonville in the Town of Skaneateles, few vesti ges of that hamlet now remaining. The letter was sent free of charge to Ebenezer Wadsworth, Esq., Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge, Brainards Bridge, Rensselaer County, New York. Skaneateles, N. Y. April 4th, 1826. Respected Friend & Brother :.. Ebenezer Wadsworth, Esq. The Masonic Fraternity of this village held a meeting a short time since to take into consideration, 'the propriety of establishing a lodge in this place, and have appointed me one of a committee to take measures to effect that object. Mount Moriah Lodge of which am a member, is at the village of Amber, eight miles from here and the nearest lodge is at Marcellus Village, which is six miles. As early as 1802 or 1803 village Lodge No. 8o was established here and flourished many years, but the inhabitants composing the Fraternity being professional men, merchants and mechanics finally growing careless neglected their duties and being called upon by B. Enos surrendered their Charter. Some of these old members are among the most reputable and wealthy men here. Among whom is Daniel Kellogg, Esq., president of the Auburn Bank and they seem to feel a veneration for the old charter, and a desire again to sit under it. A particular object in making this communication is to inquire of you whether the Grand Lodge would probably be willing to reinstate the old Lodge, by payment of back dues. From examination of the old books, it would seem there are nearly o r q u i t e $ 3 0. 0 0 due but from the state in which they were kept, or rather neglected, it is impossible to say whether there was as much, and there might ver y probably have been more. A few you ng men who were not members of the old Lodge are willing to pay that attention to the subject, w h i c h w i l l place a Lodge u pon a respectable foot i ng a n d flatter myself that the St at e of Society here, will insure respect and usefulness to our endeavor, whether the old charter is returned or a new one granted, is to -us a matter of no moment farther than a desire to gratify aged and respectable Masons of high character is desirable. Be good enough to give me your advise on this subject when leisure will enable you conveniently to do so. Bro. Enos, at the instance of some of.my Masonic acquaintances at New 15

Humphreys, knowing that the former Judge Marvin property, a beautiful old residence, built in 1857 for Judge Jewett, was for sale, inspected it with the idea that if found suitable, and of interest to the Masons, would acquire it for their use as a Temple,and this was accomplished on April 20th, 1920. Afte r on e ye ar of alterations, under the supervision of Chas. H. Platt, directed by a Temple Board composed of Chas. W. Hunt as Chairman, Chas. R. Milford, A. J. Allen, Chas. H. Platt, J. L. Schultz, Wm. G. Stewart, H. H. Loss, Walt er L. Cavel l and Walker Leonar d, it was occupied for the first time November 2nd, 1 9 2 1 - a beautiful old residence, situated in the very center of the village on the north side of Genesee Street, an old iron fence fronting it and sur rounded by beaut iful trees with ample grounds in the rear. On entering the building from the front you ascend a broad stair to the large porch extending the entire width of the building; through the front doorway a spacious hall confronts you, running nearly the entire depth of the building. At the right of this is the large parlor left as it was originally, with pictures, mirrors,. and decorations intact. On the left of the hall were originally two rooms, these having been changed to one large parlor. At the north end of the hall has been arranged a ladies' rest room and a kitchenette. Off from the west parlor through an original door you enter a hall in the addition, erected on the west side of the main building, this addition being two stories high and a basement. The hall leads you to the apart ment of the care taker, composed of a suit e of five rooms with bath and pant ry. On the fr ont of this addition is a large porch for the exclusive use of the caretaker with a separate entrance. Returning to the main hall you ascend the stairs on your left to a landing about eight feet long. At the far end of this landing are double doors enclosing the stairway proper, and here let us pause and inspect them. They originally separated the Main Hall from the dining room. They are glass panels, one pane in each panel of beautiful old cut glass. The Templ e Board had this object in view mainly to preserve as far as possible, without conflicting with the plans everything about the old residence inside as well as out and this plan has been so complete that not even a door, window or brick has been thrown away, the latter being used in constructing the addition and so carefully was this planned that there was none left nor were any purchased. Passing through these doors you ascend the remaining stairs and enter directly into t he main ante-room. This room runs the entire length, nor th and south of the addit ion; i t is about to feet wide. f, on ascending the stairs you turn to the right you pass along the banister, also preserved from the old mansion, on your left are the storeroom and toilet. Passing there you enter a room which formerly was used for servants' quarters, but is now a reception room 19x24 feet. This also is used as a banquet room for small gatherings. To the north of this is the main kitchen. ts size is approximately 12 x 24 feet, equ ipped wi th moder n and up to date furniture and utensils. Returning to the ante-room and passing the stairs is the preparation room; passing this and at the far end of the ante-room is the main entrance to the Lodge room. On entering this, one is amazed at what has been accomplished f or you see before you a beaut i ful hall 33 x 41 feet, with a height of 15 feet. At the east end of this hall is a raised platform with alcove in the rear for the presiding officer. Turn ing and facing the 23

The entrance to this is by an enclosed stairway. in the rear of this loft are storerooms. The ceiling of the lodge room is beamed, these beams dividing it off into panels. n the center and four corner panels are hung the chandeliers. These are so arr anged as to give a soft but ample light to ever y par t of the room. The woodw or k i s finished in whit e enamel, the walls and ceiling in a beautiful buff ; the floor is carpeted with a very heavy velvet carpet to match the walls. The furniture is of massive fumed oak, leather covered, and gives a rich appearance to the already beautiful room. n their proper position are two pillars, the base of which is oak to match furniture. The shafts of these pillars are finished in gold with the capitals adorned with leaves, flowers and fruit. Surmounting these pillars are two globes, one representing the earth, the other the heavens. On the base of these pill ars are si lver plat es bearing this inscription " Presented by Josiah Jewett, 1 9 2 1. " Mr. Jewett presented these pillars to Skaneateles Lodge several months before the Temple was completed, to be placed in the Lodge Room when finished, and it is needless to say they are greatly appreciated by the members. Mr. Jewett is a distant relative of Judge Jewett who built and occupied the residence in the late fifties. On the north side of the hall has been placed accordian doors with an opening of 18 feet. These doors when opened, allow the reception room to be thrown into the Lodge Room, thus adding to the capacity of the hall. Let us again return to the Main Hall, on the first floor to the foot of the stairs to the left, is another flight which leads down into the basement of the addition. This room is 2 0 feet wide x 90 feet long with an alcove at the foot of the stairs 8 x 2 0 feet. This room is used for a bowling alley. t contains three regulation alleys with all modern equipment. n fr ont and under the main position of the building is the billiard and pool room, containing four tables. n the north end of this basement is the steam heating plant. This description of our beautiful home would be incomplete should neglect to give credit where credit is due. This for the members of Skaneateles Chapter No. 505 Or der of the Eastern Star. They have been entering in their efforts to help in mak in g our home wh at it is. n fact, very much doubt our ability to have carried the project to completion without them, t hey havi ng taken upon themselves the task of furni shing the temple throughout. This indeed was no small item, costing several thousands of dollars which they have raised without the aid of the Masonic Fraternity at large.

Of these who have served the Chapter, as officers, from its first meeting until the present time, Mrs. Blanch Allen deserves the credit of having brought it through the trying times of its infancy, she having served as an officer each year and is still serving as Tr eas urer. She has been offered the position of District Deputy Gr and Matr on but decl ined.' This has been a great disappointment to the other members of the Chapter who wished to see her attain the high position which she so rightfully deserves. Lottie A. Kane, served as Distr ict Deputy Grand Ma tron in 1918-19 with a great deal of honor to herself and' credit to the Chapter. Bessie L.

r.t.c *O'Do nnell Zasonic Hall New York. Skaneateles N. Y. April 24t, 1934 Dear Brother O'Donnell Your letter to our Faster,Bro Alfred Roeller,of the 12th of April,has been refered to me. m regard to stoves can only say that Skaneateles Lodge No.522 has in thair historical room the first stove purchased by this Lodge. t is a small round stove about 10 inches in daameter and 33 inches high,it was built by"wilkinson 0 Co." Where this company is located is not indicated,the stove is built to use either wood or coal,probably one of the first coal stoves on the market. will quote from the records of the Lodge which are more interesting than the stove itself, take the following from my history of Wasonry in SkanePte]es; Ou r A n ci e W r e th e r e n o f S k a ne a t e l es L o d ge m u s t h a v e be e n h ar d y m en. T h e first meeting'iunder dispensation was held Dec.14th 1861. They were good old fashion winters in those days. zero weather,with lots of smem, "Listen".0n the 1,8 of November 1862,eleve months after the first meeting, find this in the minutes.hoved,seconded and carried,that a committee of three be appointed to procure a suitable St ov e fo r t h e u s e o f t h e Lodge. Again on Dec.16th,nearly a month after, the committee were grl,,nted further time. At this same meeting however,the committee on wood reported they had purchased the same. t must have been trying times also for the candidates,and they.were numerous. "The records for 1862 show 26 electec7, 5 affiliated and 7 rejected." "Plenty of wood, no Stove." On this same evening, Fr Byron B.Raddish was reported in waiting to receive the first degree, which was confered on him. Then came the election of officers. They were installed the same evening by Harvey lalson, Past Paster of St.Pauls lodge No.124 of Auburn. The reoort of the Secretaryeas: The Lodge closed harmoniously ana i n or der a t 10 1/2 o'clock. On D e c. 3 0 th 1 6 2 t h i s w a s r e c o rd e d : The committee on stove renortea, The Stove purchased,and the committee discharged. Thine( of it,nearly 15 months without a stove,and this was not all,for there was no covering for the floor for several months after the stove Wdr, installed and 26 candidates the first year. You can see this Stove if you care to visit our Historical room,and while there look around and see what else our Ancient Brothers used. This is all the information can give you in regard.testoves" hope this will be of interest to you. And by the way,f should have delayed this answer to you as long as your Yr Hartman has to one wrote to him on July 7,1933 am afraid you never would hay had an answer,for am stil waiting..

Not only was Bro. Bill active in Lodge; but was taking a keen interest in the Masonic Temple itself, taking part in repointing the masonry on the outside walls, which was indeed an asset to the Temple and to the community itself.

He is aldo a member of the Scottish Rite. As an illustration of his devotness-, Bill has been a Fireman fron 1947-1975; part of that time being Asst. Chief. n Church he has served as Clerk Vestry.

This brother is recommended to receive the Dedicated Service Award for the followi ng reasons. (A concise and spe cific statement is required). Ch&lmer has been one of the most avid supporter of our lodge that have ever had the priveledge of knowing. As brotherhood chairman he conducted the most successful campaigne the lodge has ever had and personally contacted every member of the lodge in the process. He has always had time to do anything that was asked of him and has voluntiered for more duties than could possibly mention. At the age of 77 he is still a regularly attending member and has been adtive in every degree that can remember. He is also the first to volunteer when any sort of project arrises, no matter how meanial the job.

Chalmer has probably submitted more pettibeons than any other member of our lodge and has willingly assisted many more in learning the ritual, myself included. He is an active member of the Vkaneateles Order of the Eastern Star and is a Past High Priest of Royal Arch. ;R-my-epinleR He is an active church member before his retirement from the real estate business and active member of the community. n my opinion Chalmer is a living example of what Masonry is and should be=friendship, morality, and brotherly love.
