ANCESTOR GROSSED IN 1 6 3 0 THEY MAY BE REOPENED. iesoendants of the"*Origina! Richard Church Were Sturdy Characters of Early Colonial Days and Helped Establish Independence. On the evening- of Dec. 26th at the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Church in Morristown, a reunion of the Church family was heTd. The rooms present- ed a festive appearance, being decor- ated in honor of the occasion with holly and Christmas bells. Family portraits- and a Bible belonging to Abijah Wheeler Church, father of the host, were in evidence; also the fam- ily history book in which the guests registered, the following being pres- ent: Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Church, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur P. Wallace and son, Dean Church Wallace, Miss Mary C. Miller, Mr. and Mrs. It. H. Wallace, Mr. and Mrs. Charles G.'Wallace, Miss Jessie M. Wallace, Leonard Wallace, Miss Dorothy Wallace, Mr. and Mrs. Frank H. Wallace, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph E3. Wallace, Joseph Couper, Miss Annette S. Coupef, George Cou- per, Morristown. William Church Hall, Mrs. Claire Hall Gillis and daughter, Miss Mar- garet Church Gillis, Ogdensburg. Mrs. Martha A. Church Conger, Mrs. Harriet Church Orvis, Mr. and Mrs. G-eorge E. Pike, Gouverheur. Dr. and Mrs. William D. Marsh and daughter, Miss Clara Church Marsii, Little Falls. Mr. and Mrs. Charles B. Smith and daughter, Miss Helen Ghorcb Smith, Mr. and Mrs. John W. Church, Mrs. Augusta Cheney Church and daugh- ter, Miss Eleanor Church, and Miss Julia Eleanor Church, Syracuse. After lunch was 1 served the guests asseinbledun one of the rooms and a half hour was. spent. in reviewing some of the family history, closing with some racy remarks by Dr. Marsh 'n answer to the query, 4£ How did you feel when privileged to enter the Church famil-,-?" A summary of the Church ancestry may be of interest to those members of the family who were unable to at- tend the reunion. The first Ameri- can ancestor, Richard Church, came from England to Boston about 1630, settled at Hartford and later removed to Hadley, Mass., where he died in 16G7. The ancestors succeeding iiim in direct line were Samuel, Samuel 2-nd, Nathaniel, Jonathan and Daniel Whipple Church. Jonathan Church is the ancestor who assisted in estab- lishing American independence while acting in the capacity of second lieu- tenant of Brattleboro company, First Regiment, Cumberland county, N. Y., militia. He was Jjorn April 17, 1747, at Hadley, Mass., and his wife's name was Perone Whipple.. At the time of the Revolution he lived near Brattle- boro, N. Y., Vermont not being a State at that time. Hu went as "or- derly" in the company of Captain Mo- Cuen to Ticonderoga when the militia of that region made rendezvous to .o meet Burgoyne's expedition and he took part in the fighting that attended St. Clair's retreat and Burgoyne's pxirsuit. He was made second lieu- tenant on Aug. 18, 1778. From this time on continued alarms kept the mi- litia on the move and Jonathan Church was in the field with his company almost continuously until the close of the war. He lived after this at Chesterfield, N. H., and the last years of his'life -were passed -with his soni, Daniel W., in Morristown, where he died Dec. 23, 1S27. He was buried at Rossie. Daniel Whipple Church,, son of Jonathan and Perone Whippte Church, •was bom in 1772 at Brattleboro and died in 1857 at Morristown. He was a most 'scholarly man and left many interesting records and documents. He was adjutant in Coloilel Turner's militia in the war of 181,2 and the fol- lowing appears in his diary: "I was wounded in the-battle of • Ogdensburg an.d had my house plundered of every- thing." He married Dorothy Wheel- er, daughter of Abijah Wheeler and Mary Hayward or Howard. (Abijah Whesler was a soldier in the war of the Revolution.) The children-of Dan- iel Whipple^ and Dorothy Wheeler Church were~twelve in number: Hor- ice Howard, Abijah Wheeler, Royal Tyler, Peronius Whipple, Dolly, Mary Howard, James Howard, Daniel, Louis, Perone, Ezra and Artemas Maynard. Most of those present at the Teunion are descendants of Abijah Wheeler Ohutrch or Mary Howard Church, the latter being the mother of Ralph How- ard Wallace, the "Sage of Morris- town," and the family historian. Wil liam C. Hall's mother- was Dolly Ohurch and Mrs. Claire Hall GUlii" mother was Perone Church. Mrs. Martha Church Conger and Mrs. Har- .*iet Church Orvis are daughters of Daniel Church. As will be seen from he above, five out of the twelve chil- Iren. of Daniel W. Church were, repre- sented at the reunion. The son of Vrtemas Maynard, who bears the same name and lives at Boonville. vrote a cordial latter-regretting his Lnabilty to attend. His sister, Mrs. Nellie Church Gould, of Lyons- Falls, and her daughter "Eleanor expected to be present but they wer>a detained at home. A letter was received from Tyler Church, of Tnrin, grandson of Royal Tyler Church, who expressed great interest in the occasion and re- gret at being kept away by reason of ill health. Letters from the following were also read: From Joseph Addison Church and his son, Daniel W. Church of Ppcatello, Idaho; from Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Hudson, of Lander, Wyo., and Mr. and Mrs. Henry J. Couper, of Dobbs Ferry. After a social hour a business ses- sion -was held for the purpose of or- ganization and the following oineers were elected: President, D. C. Church, Morristown; vftse-presid-emit. William C. Hall, Ogdensburg;. historian, R. H. Wallace, Morristown; secretary, Miss Julia Eleanor Church, Syracuse. It was voted that the first annual re- ,union be h.eld in August, 1907, on the birthday of Mrs. Perone Church Hall, and that all future reunions should fall on her natal day. She died in 1902 and was the last Church of her generation. A^vote of thanks was ex- tended Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Church for their generous hospitality which made the. reunion possible. ' In talking over family affairs it was noted that there are liow living four members of the Church family who bear the name "Dean," five the napae "Howard," eix the nam© "Mary," four the name "Clara,' six the name "Ele- anor" amid there are three now living who have thg name Daniel Whipple Ohitrch. Attention was also called to the frequ^t use of •"Ohurch." as a middle name. Another fact "worthy to go on rec- ord is that of _the members of the Church family "now living fifty-two are connected, either by birth or mar- riage, with another well-known fam- Ore is Hematite and Owing to the Low Percentage of Profit Operations Were Suspended Ten Years Ago— Property Heavily Mortgaged. 1 Gouverneur, Jam 2.—In accord^ ance with an action of foreclosure brought againfet the Eastern Iron company by the United States Mort- gage & Trust company and others as plaintiffs, -the Clark iron mine located about four miles south of this village, was sold at a mortgage foreclosure sale at the St. Lawrence Inn in this place Saturday. Clarence S. Ferris, of Potsdam, acted as referee, in the •sale. The mines^and all the prem- ises, formerly owned and operated by the Ea-stern Iron company, were bid in by bondholders for the sum of $150,000. • The mortgage held on the property amounted to $250,000* with about $50,000 interest, making a total of $300,000. A. S. Andrews, of New York city, was in town and rep- resented the plaintiff in the sale. The mine was operated until 1896 when thei low price of. iron caused a shutdown. Tihe ore-is hemitite and is recognized as excellent in quality, al- though not high in the percentage of metallic iron, averaging about 45 pea 1 cent, and containing much silica. Some time ago 'the Eastern Icon- company was organized of capitalists from away and the mine was operat- ed. It became involved in litigation and a number of mortgages were held against the property, causing its sale. The probabilites of«|tae Clark mine being again the scene of active opera*- tions are great and it is. understood that negotiations axe now under way to organize a corporation of New York capitalists to open up again. The price of iron at the present time is very high, and all of the iron mines- in this section are paying large divi- dends. With the renewal of work at the Clark mines from 300 to 400 men would be employed and this will mean much to the village of Gouverneur. The Rossie Iron Ore company is now operating the Kearney mine and a large force of men, about 400 in .alii, are being employed, xne transporta- tion of the ore to the smelting fur- naces is convenient as a switch runs into the mines from the R., W. & O. ily, "Couper." On the evening preced- ing the "Church family" reunion, a company of seventy-five., gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Witherhead in English Settlement to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Couper Christmas tree. The Christmas tree celebration is a surf vival of the New Tear's gatherings formerly held at the same place in the lifetime of Joseph Couper, grand- father of Mrs. Witherhead and father of Joseph Percival Couper whose health this year would not permit his attendance at the Couper reiuinion, which vas deeply regretted by all. Many of the out of town relatives called on him and his wife the fol- lowing day. His sister, Mrs. Alice Couper Green, of Geneseo, came to Morristown for the gathering and the only other sister now living, Mrs. R. H. Wallace, was also able to be pres- ent. These three with John Clinton Gouper, of Northfield, Minn., remain of the eleven children of Joseph and Elizabeth B. Couper. At the gathering- a bountiful repast was served, followed by the distribu- tion of gifts from the Christmas tree and the singing of Christmas hymns. The old-fashioned games of "Ruth and Jacob" and "The Minister's Cat" caused- much merriment, as did also the mistletoe suspended from the doorways to entrap the unsuspecting cousins and bring them to confusion. A sleigh ride home brought to an end an occasion which will be long and pleasantly remembered. The follow-' ing is a list of those present: - Mrs. Alice Couper Green, Geneseo.

Heuvelton, -Dec. 31.—The death of Mrs. George Rabey occurred at her home Dec, 19th after a long illness 1 of a gradual breaking down due to old age.

She was born in Ireland and came to. this country when a girl and was unit- ed in, marriage with George Rabey May 26, 1852. In early life she united with the M. E. ohurch and was a reg- ular attendant until tofirmtties came upon her; but she always kept her faith placed inGod, and all through her lldng illness she manifested the same patient, Christian, spirit and was ready when the Master called. . Her funeral was held tooni the M. E. church Friday by Rev. Basil Gabriels, the text being one; of her own choos^ ing: II.

Albany, Jan. 1.—There were no in- teresting developments in the legisla- tive caucuses tonight. Most signifi- cant ^politically was the .victory of Johmt C. Marriott, of Hichmond, p ported "tor the positkm of .stenograph- er of the Sen-aje by Herbert Parsons, president of the New York'County Re- pxibliean committee, over George Shotwell, who was back-ed by former Senator G-eorge R. Malby. Much in- terest was: also ewolssd by the selec- tion, if-f Senator Patrick H. MeCasren, of Brooklyn, as «hairman. o>f the em- ocrafic caucus committee an the Sen- ate, giving hm a commanding {position in his party in that body.«__I In Hie Assembly Democratic caucus Assemblyman- James Oliver, 'of .New York, was made the candidate for speaker, which carries with it. the jainority leadership, long held by A;s- semblyman George M. Palmer, of Schoharie,, who' failed of renomiha- tion.
