PREFACE.

The compilation of this manual has involved much labor, but it

has been a labor of love. The historical sketch is a mere abridg-

ment of the complete history by Dr. Tuttle, the delayed publica-

tion of which is to be regretted. The catalogue of names and

dates is that whereon I have bestowed my labor. I have taken

l^ains to verify dates, but the work was difficult, and there are

doubtless inaccuracies. Mr. E. D. Halsey furnished the list of

Trustees ; and the narrative from 1862 is an abridgment of a

fuller sketch prepared by him as a conclusion to Dr. Tuttle's

history.

No manual of the church has been issued since 1832, the year

in which the present church edifice was erected. That contained

only the names of the membership of that time. Our church has

more than a hundred years of history, and a long roll of honor;

and this is a humble effort to put that history and roll of honor iu

a permanent and convenient shape for distribution and preser-

vation among those most deeply interested. It is my oflering

of love to the people of my first and only charge.

HISTORICAL SKETCH.

As early as 1730, a small settlement existed in the vicinity of

Rockaway. When or by whom the Gospel was lirst preached in

the place does not appear. Some of the j^eople, among them

Al)ner Beach and Job Allen, were members of the Presbyterian

Church of Morristown, and probably Rev. Timothy Johnes, pastor

of that church, and the Rev. Jacob Grreen, pastor of the Hanover

Church, preached here occasionally, before a church was organ-

ized, as they did afterwards.

March the 2d, 1758, was the natal day of the Rockaway Presby-

terian Church. On that day two important papers were drawn up,

which put in practical shape the desire of the people to secure for

themselves the privileges of the Gospel. One of these papers sets

forth the " desier to Joyn with pasipaney to call and settle a min-

ister ;" the other expresses the willingness of the subscribers to

" ablig ourselves to pay toward building a meeting-house the sums

to our names affixed." These two important papers will be printed

entire in this manual.

The objects aimed at were realized, but not at once. The meet-

ing-house was secured iirst. The subscription amounted to £75,

equal to about $188, and was supplemented by a loan of £100

from Col. Jacob Ford, Sr., of Morristown. This loan, in part at

least, was afterwards made a gift, thi-ough the influence of Moses

Tuttle, of Mt. Pleasant, a son-in-law of Mr. Ford. The frame of

the church was erected in 1759, and in 1760 it was enclosed and

the floors laid. There was no plastering or ceiling, no stoves or

fire-place, and only planks laid on blocks for seats. On the 24th

of August, 1762, Benjamin Prudden conveyed to WiUis Pierson,

Job Allen and Obadiah Lum, Trustees of the parish of Rockaway,

for the benefit and use of the Presbyterian Church of Roccaway,"" the ten acres and thirty perch " of land which make up the old

church lot.

It was not till 1768, that the " desier to Joyn with pasipaney to

call and settle a minister" was realized—^just ten years after that

desii'e had first found expression. Negotiations begun at a parish

Page 11: Historical Manual of the Rockaway Presbyterian Church (1880)

9

Tueeting', Dec. 23d, 1766, finally resulted in the settlement of the

first pastor of this church, the Rev. James Tuttle, Jr. April, 1768,

he was ordained and installed at Parsippany over the two churches,

and William Winds, Obadiah Lum, Jacob AUerton, David Bemanand Benjamin Prudden, were appointed to attend the installation,

and receive Mr. Tuttle on behalf of the Eockaway Church.

Mr. Tuttle was a native of Hanover, a son-in-law of Rev. Jacob

Green, the pastor of that place, and a brother of Moses Tuttle, of

Mt. Pleasant, an influential man in the parish of Rockaway. His

pastorate continued for two years and seven months, when his

death occurred at Hanover, Dec. 25tli, 1770, in the 29th year of

his age. His grave may be seen in the old bui'ying ground at

Hanover. Mr. Tuttle lived in the parsonage which the parish had

"built on the "Tom Maun lot"—near the present residence of Mr.

Cortright. Lord Stirling had given to the parish of Rockaway?

one hundred acres of land within one mile of the church, for

parsonage purposes, and this spot had been selected and built on.

The £60 salary paid Mr. Tuttle for the one-half of his time was

raised by assessing the property of the members of the parish and

levying a tax upon it. This assessment was made and the tax

levied and collected by men appointed by the parish for that pur-

pose. Some of these old assessments or "rate hsts" are pre-

served in^the parish records. This method of raising the minister's

salary continued tUl Mr. Carle's time.

From Mr. Tuttle's death, in 1770, the church was without a pas-

tor for nearly fourteen years. This period included the trying

years of the war for independence. A number of efibrts were

made to obtain a pastor, but they all proved fruitless. Ministers

were scarce, and the field was not a very inviting one. The peo-

ple, however, were not left entirely without the preaching of the

Gospel through those years of trial and discouragement. Occa-

sional suppHes were sent by the presbytery, and when these failed,

the deacon's meeting was the unfaiHng substitute. The pulpit was

occupied during this period by the following ministers :

Rev. Timothy Johnes, April 15th, 1770.

Mr. Lewis, of Mendham, October, 1770.

Mr. Chapman, of Orange, January, 1771.

Mr. Horton, of Bottle HiU, (Madison,) April 9th, 1771.

Mr. Kennedy, of Basking Ridge, July 11th, 1771.

Mr. Simpson, July 25th, 1771.

Mr. Simpson preached twelve Sabbaths during the year 1772,

Page 12: Historical Manual of the Rockaway Presbyterian Church (1880)

10

and -with such acceptance that assiduous efforts were made to

secure him as pastor, but he finally declined the call. Rev.

Mathias Burnet preached three times in 1773, and on the 17th of

May, 1774, a call was made out for his pastoral services, which was

declined. Thus the second effort ended in failure. Durinof the

year 1774, the pulpit was occupied thirteen times by different

ministers. In 1775, one sermon by the Rev. Joseph Grover, of

Parsippany, is all that is recorded. In 1776, Rev. Thaddeus

Dodd preached two Sabbaths, and a Rev. Mr. Ackley, two Sab-

baths. In 1777, a Mr. Galany (?) preached six Sabbaths. In

May, 1777, an attempt was made to secure the services of Rev.

Jno. Joline for three months, but failed, and in April, 1778, the

effort was renewed to secure his services, which failed by reason

of an offer from the church at Mendham, which he accepted.

The parish next secured the services of a young Dutch minister,

Mr. Derondy, who supplied the pulpit during the winter of

1778-9. On the 12th of April, 1779, Mr. Noble Everett was

engaged to preach six months, and at the end of that time

declined to serve the church an}' longer. During the following

years of 1780, 1781 and 1782, the Rev. Lemuel Fordham supplied

the pulpits of Succasunna and Rockaway, Rockaway refusing to

join with Succasunna to settle him as joint pastor, and finally fail-

ing to secure his acceptance of their call to become the pastor of

Rockaway, very much to their disappointment.

On the 17th of March, 1783, it was voted at a parish meeting to

treat Avith the Rev. David Baldwin, who was pz*eaching at BLick

River (Chester, ) with reference to his serving the church at Rock-

away. He gave the people little encouragement at the time, but

in December, 1783, they gave him a call, and in February, 1784,

Mr. Baldwin signified his acceptance of the call. He was installed

as pastor of the church in April, 1784, by the Morris County Pres-

byterial Association—a kind of congregational secession under the

leadership of Rev. Jacob Green, of Hanover, which this church

had joined. His salary was fixed at £80 a year, the use of the

parsonage, and his firewood. He lived in the parsonage near

where the depot of the Morris and Essex Railroad now stands.

Mr. Baldwin was a good man, but a very ordinary preacher. Hetook charge of the church at a time when its spiritual life was at a

very low ebb. The members were few and mostly women, the

congregations were small, and there was a widespread laxity of

manners and morals. Society was suffering from the demoraliza-

Page 13: Historical Manual of the Rockaway Presbyterian Church (1880)

11

tion of the long war. In addition to the widespread infidelity of

the times, and the general indifference to religion, there was in-

ternal dissension, which neutrahzed in a large measure, the efforts

of the faithful pastor. The trouble arose out of the singing. The

custom had long prevailed of reading the psalm line by line while

singing, a custom which arose when there were no books for the

people to sing out of. David Beman had long led the singing in

the old way. A party, presumably of the young people, who had

an ear for good music, attempted a change. Beman and his sup-

porters stoutly resisted young Benjamin Jackson, the new candi-

date for the honors of chorister, and his party. The matter was

compromised at first by allowing Beman to line out the psalm and

sing in the first service, and Jackson to sing without lining in the

second service. But this was not the end of the matter. The

quarrel smouldered for years, occasionally breaking out with fury.

In 1789 feeUng ran so high that WiUiam Ross and David Beman

resigned their eldership. But after hindering for a long time the

prosperity of the church, the matter was finally settled in 1792, in

favor of the new and better way.

During his ministry, Mr. Baldwin purchased a farm on the

south side of the Denville road, near Savage Corner, and, moving

upon it, supplemented his meagre salary by the pursuit of agri-

culture—dividing his time between his crops and his sermons.

The parish was incorporated according to the laws of the State

in 1787. On the 6th of March of that year, the parish met and

elected a Board of Trustees consisting of the following persons :

William Winds, Stephen Jackson, Abraham Kitchel, Benjamin

Beach, Job AUen, David Beman and David Baker ; and a certifi-

cate of incorporation, under the name of the "First Presbyterian

Church of Rockaway, in the County of Morris," was granted March

22d, 1787.

The church was in a very low state during the latter part of

Mr. Baldwin's ministry, the attendance on Sabbath morning num-

bering scarcely thirty persons, and oftentimes less than that

number ; and in January, 1792, he submitted a proposition to be

dismissed or retained as the parish might think proper. The

parish voted to pay his salary to the 1st of June, and to give him

Uberty then to make other engagements. The pious and devotedly

good old minister left the parish with the best of feeling between

himself and the people.

On the 14th of May, 1792, it was voted to extend an invitation

Page 14: Historical Manual of the Rockaway Presbyterian Church (1880)

12

to Eev. John J. Carle to supply the pvilpit for six months, and onthe 18th of June, 1792, a unanimous call was extended to him to

become pastor of the church. Mr. Carle accepted the call, andwas ordained and installed in January, 1793. The exact date I amunable to find. This was the first ordination ever witnessed in

Kockaway. Mr. Carle was popular in his manner and an eloquent

preacher, and under his ministry the temporal prosperity of

the church was increased, and the congregations became larger.

Nothing had been done to render the church more comfortable

and attractive since the beginning of Mr. Tuttle's ministry in 1768,

when pews were put in, instead of planks, in some portions of the

church. Encouraged by Mr. Carle's coming, to renewed effort,

the people addressed themselves to the task of improving the

church, and in 1794 the building was ceiled and the galleries putin, making it much more comfortable and commodious. Thesession of the church was also re-organized at this time, and regu-lar records kept of their meetings. Elders existed before this

time, but no sessional records are in existence previous to 1793, so

far as I am able to discover. The following is the first record :

" Monday, February 25th, 1793. The church met at Mr. DavidBeaman's. Present, Messrs. Carle, David Beaman, Job Allen,

John Clark, James Farris, WiUiam Ross and Samuel Beaman.The meeting was opened with prayer. It was unanimously agreedby this meeting to have a regular church session formed, in orderto which, Messrs. David Beaman, Job AUen and John Clark werenominated as candidates for the office of RuHng Elder, and directed

to be propounded the three ensuing Lord's days. Mr. DavidBeaman was also nominated as a candidate for the office of

Deacon. The meeting agreed to consider all baptized personsbelonging to this congregation as subjects of church discipHne

;

also agreed that all baptized parents who submit to the discipline

of the church, are free from scandal, and live moral lives, mayhave the ordinance of baptism administered to their children."

In 1788 part of the parsonage-lands near the depot were sold to

pay arrearages to Mr. Baldwin, and in 1792 the remainder wassold, and a new tract purchased at Franklin and another pai--

sonage buUt. This house stood neai' by where Henry Palmernow Hves, and was torn down when his present residence wasbuilt. Mr. Carle hved in the new parsonage tiU he purchased a

house of his own in Rockaway. His salary was fixed at £100 when

Page 15: Historical Manual of the Rockaway Presbyterian Church (1880)

13

he first came, but was afterwards raised to £180 per year, " and to

find himself in firewood." After he removed to Rockaway to live

in his own house, the parsonage at Franklin was sold to Dr.

Ebenezer H. Pierson, December, 1795, for $1100,

Mr. Carle's history is an unhappy one. While pastor at Rock-

away he was given to indulgence in intoxicating drink, a prevalent

custom of the times, and as the vice grew upon him it weakened

and finally destroyed his influence. He was released from his

pastoral relation in the spring of 1801, and went to Connecticut to

take charge of a church. He died about 1808, and is buried at

Basking Ridge, his native place. He belonged to an excellent and

highly respected family, and his downfall was a source of great

giief to them.

From the conclusion of Mr. Carle's pastorate to the coming of

Rev. Barnabas King, six years elapsed, during which time the

church was without a pastor. During this time there were occa-

sional supplies, who "were paid $5 a Sabbath for their services.

Among the preachers of the years 1802, 1803 and 1804 are Rev.

Messrs. Lemuel Fordham, Cram, James Richards, Amzi Armstrong,

Aaron Condict, Mathias Burnet and Keys. Mr. Lewis Williams,

an EngHshman, preached six months in 1805, for which he received

There is but one testimony as to the moral condition of the com-

munity after ]VIr. Carle was dismissed and until Dr. King came.

It is said there was but a single Christian man within the wide

bounds of the congregation who could offer a prayer in public or

at the bedside of the dying. This was Deacon John Clark. Pro-

faneness, drunkenness. Sabbath desecration and other forms of

immoraUty were general. Dr. King speaks of religion at that time

as " at a low ebb—almost as low as it could be, and not become

extinct ;" yet the fact remains that the people were determined to

keep the church alive so far as they could do it by their contribu-

tions and attentions.

The first mention of Dr. Barnabas King in the parish records

is this item :" 1806, January 26th. Cash paid Mr. King for

preaching one Sabbath, $4.50." He suppHed the pulpit occasion-

ally during that year and the next, but was not permanently em-

ployed until in October, 1807. From that time until his death,

April 10th, 1862, a period of fifty-five years, the history of the

church and his biography would be almost identical. A sketch of

his Hfe, written by Dr. Tuttle, was pubHshed by the New Jersey

Page 16: Historical Manual of the Rockaway Presbyterian Church (1880)

14

Historical Society in the second volume (new series) of its pro-

ceedings, and a sermon preached by Dr. King himself, on the

fortieth anniversary of his pastorate, and containing a review of

the history of the church during those forty years, was published

;

but a short sketch of his life before coming to Rockaway would

not be out of place here.

He was the son of Amos King and his wife, Lucy Perkins, and

was born at New Marlborough, Mass., June 2d, 1780. He received

a good elementary education at a public school, where he attracted

the favorable attention of his minister. Dr. Jacob Catlin, who, for

his services about his place, prepared him for the freshman class

of Wniiams College, to which he was admitted in the fall of 1800.

He graduated in 1803, and studied theology with Dr. Catlin, being

licensed to preach by the Berkshire Association in the fall of 1805-

Having heard of " an open door in New Jersey," he immediately

started on horseback to visit this county, and crossing the Hudsonat Newburg, reached the house of Robert Ogden, in Sussex county,

on Christmas day. Mr. Ogden received him into his family, andhe began to preach statedly at Sparta and Berkshire Valley. Hewas thus engaged when he preached for the first time at Rocka-

way, as mentioned in the records. This was on Friday evening,

January 24th, 1806, at a private house, and from the text Eccle-

siastes iii., 21.

October 5th, 1807, the Trustees met and voted " to offer the

Rev. Barnabas King $208, as -ei sailer y for preaching in our meeting-

house, for one-half of the time, for one year from and after the

sitting of New York Presbytery in this present month." This oifer

was accepted, and the half of Mr. King's time not taken up by his

services at Rockaway that year was given to Sparta and Berkshii-e

VaUey. " On careful inquiry it was found that the church con-

sisted of thirty-five members, at the time he commenced preach-

ing here, twelve of whom were widows." He began at once in the

most systematic manner to minister to his new charge, preaching

publicly and from house to house. The effect was soon apparent,

and ia 1808 there was a remarkable revival, which added eighty-

four to the church, the larger pai't of whom were received into the

church before Mr. King's ordination by Dr. Richards, of Morris-

town.

The Presbytery of New York ordained and installed Mr. Kingas pastor of this church, December 27th, 1808. Notwithstanding

the severity of the weather and that there was no stove in the

Page 17: Historical Manual of the Rockaway Presbyterian Church (1880)

15

church, the exercises were very prolonged and the physical endur-

ance of the candidate was noticeably taxed to its utmost. Rev. Dr.

John McDowell, of Elizabeth, preached the sermon, Dr. Richards,

the charge to the pastor, and Rev. Dr. Perrine, of Bottle HiU, the

charge to the people.

After his ordination, the new pastor redoubled his efforts, which

were very successful. Faithful and punctilious in his preparation

for the pvilpit, he was equally faithful in his other duties, visiting

the home of every one, however humble, in his immense pai'ish,

which was at least ten miles in diameter. He frequently preached

at private houses in the various neighborhoods, in the evening,

after visiting among the people during the day. In his fortieth

anniversary sermon he says, " I had six preaching places which

were from four to six miles distant from the church. After two

services in the church (on Sunday,) I preached at one of these

and once or more on a week day. My object was to be at each of

these preaching places at least as often as once in two weeks "

October 24th, 1809, Mr. King was married by Rev. Aaron Con-

diet, to Miss Catherine Beach, daughter of Capt. Enoch Beach,

of Hanover, an event which added much to his influence as a pas-

tor. She often accompanied him on his visits to places of suffering

and aided him in his ministrations. She died July 13th, 1821,

lamented by the whole congregation, and seldom was there offered

such a tribute to the memory of any one as to the memory of this

estimable lady, so highly was she regarded by all who knew her.

Her sister, Mrs. Electa Jackson, wife of Col. Joseph Jackson, also

living at Rockaway, in 1815 started the first Sunday-school in

Morris county, in the " Old Red School-house " near the church,

which was torn down in 1853. Mrs. Jackson and her sister-in-law,

Mrs. Clarissa (Jas.) Jackson, had previously gathered the neigh-

boring children for rehgious instruction in their own homes.

The people began to repair the church soon after Mr, Kingcame, and mention is frequently made in the minutes of the work.

November 5th, 1821, it was resolved " that Joseph Jackson have

leave to remove the canopy over the pulpit and lower the breast-

work in front as low as Mr. King shaU du'ect." "All to be done

at his expense." In 1768, a resolution had been adopted "Thata stove be allowed and that if it may be found pornitious that

then on complaint that it may be so pornitious by any one (sup-

posed to be a person of sense—erased) that then, in such case, it

may be removed from thence by a future meetg. if proper." In

Page 18: Historical Manual of the Rockaway Presbyterian Church (1880)

Mr. Carle's time a fire-place was attempted, but not until 1820 was

any plan for warming the church carried out. A big stove was

then bought at Mt. Hope, of McQueen & Co., and set up in the

church, the pipe running out a window. In Sept., 1829, it was

proposed to raise $350 to repair the meeting-house, but Nov. 1st,

1830, " the building committee " are allowed to use any part of

the old for the purpose of building "the new meeting-house."

The Winds farm, devised to the church by General Wm. Winds,

and so much of the church lot as lies west of the Mt. Hope road,

was sold about this time to pay arrears of salary and help in

building. This house is the present brick edifice, and was dedica-

ted Sept. 6th, 1832, after being about a year in progress of erec-

tion. The old church was on the knoll about fifty feet back of the

new one.

After the revival of 1808, the membership of the chtu'ch in-

creased slowly, but in the fall of 1817, a revival which had been

manifesting itself for some time, beginning in the Sabbath-school,

became yet more decided and continued nearly through 1818. In

these years one hundred and fifty-one persons were added to the

communion of the church. 1831 and 1832 were again specially

favored seasons. During this revival, which continued over a

year, one hundred and forty-three jy^rsons united with the

church.

In 1888 the Methodist Church was organized here. In 1834

the Dover Presbyterian Church was set off. And afterwards

churches at Boonton and Mount Freedom. In the anniversary

sermon before alluded to, delivered Dec. 81st, 1848, jVIr. King says

" five Presbyterian and five Methodist churches have been formed

in our bounds and on our borders." He had then baptized five

hundred and forty-seven children, solemnized four hundred and

seventeen marriages, attended six hundred and eighty-one fun-

erals, preached about twelve thousand times, and during his

ministration here, six hundred and eighty had been added to the

church.

In Septembei', 1847, Rev. Joseph F. Tuttle was called as col-

league pastor with Mr. King. He was the son of Rev. Jacob

Tuttle, and was born at Bloomfield, N. J., in 1818. He received

his preparatory education at the Academy at Newai'k, N. J., and

Granville, Ohio ; was graduated at IMarietta College with the first

honors of his class in 1841 and at Lane Theological Seminary in

1844. He was licensed by Marian Presbytery, April 4th, 1844;

Page 19: Historical Manual of the Rockaway Presbyterian Church (1880)

17

was married October 11th, 1845, to Miss Susan King, daughter of

Rev. Barnabas King, and was ordained and installed pastor of the

Second Church, in Delaware, Ohio, April 21st, 1846. He came to

Rockaway, and began to labor here in November, 1847, and April

26th, 1848, was installed colleague pastor by the Presbytery of

Rockaway. Rev. Samuel L. Tuttle, (his brother,) of Caldwell,

preached the sermon, Rev. Daniel H. Johnson, of Mendham,

delivered the charge to the pastor, and Rev. Sylvester Cook, of

Wantage, the charge to the people.

From this time, although Dr. King continued to share the bur-

den of the ministerial labor, preaching frequently, both in the

church and at the out stations, and making frequent parochial

visits, the larger part of the labor gradually devolved upon his

colleague.

Dr. Tuttle was an indefatigable worker, eloquent in the pulpit,

devoted to his church and people, and eminently successful.

Though there were no large revivals such as the church enjoyed

in 1818 and 1832, yet the lists show a constant and regular in-

crease of membership. He attached his people, both old and

young, closely to him, and was influential and useful in the Pres-

bytery. He refused several very flattering calls, but in 1862 was

tendered the presidency of Wabash College, which he felt it his

duty to accept—and after fifteen years' labor here he asked to

have the relation dissolved. Dr. King at the same time made the

same request. The parish meeting to consider these resignations

occurred March 20th, 1862, and was largely attended. The people

resolved unanimously not to accept Dr. King's resignation, aftec-

tionately expressing their will that he should continue their pastor

until death should terminate the relation. When the result of the

meeting was announced to him, he said, as tears ran down his face,

" they have always been a kind people," and probably this was the

happiest moment of his long official connection with the chiu'ch.

A few days after, April 10th, Dr. King died at the residence of

his son-in-law, and on the 15th, was buried here. His funeral

sermon, preached by his late colleague, was printed with the fare-

well sermon of Dr. Tuttle, dehvered April 27th, 1862.

Perhaps the following facts in the history of Rockaway, which

had their influence upon the parish, may not be uninteresting. At

the time of the Revolutionary War, Lord Stirling was carrying on

the furnace at Hibernia. John Jacob Faescb earned on the fur-

nace, &c., at Mount Hope, under a lease from Col. Jacob Ford,

Page 20: Historical Manual of the Rockaway Presbyterian Church (1880)

18

Sr. Col. Jacob Ford, Jr., had forges at Denmark, Middle Forge

and Mt. Pleasant. Stephen Jackson and David Beaman had the

forge above the bridge in Rockaway, and a grist-mill on the west

bank of the liver near the end of the present dam. In 1785 the

grist-mill opposite Dr. Jackson's present residence was built. In

1794 Stephen Jackson built the lower forge at Rockaway. In 1821

Joseph and William Jackson built the rolling-mill. In 1815, the

Mt. Hope furnace, having been idle over fifteen years, (since the

death of Faesch, ) was leased and set at wox'k by Robert McQueen

& Co.; consisting of Robert McQueen, Abraham Kinney and Eli-

phalet Sturtevant. The company continued to operate it until

1827, when the furnace finalty blew out.

In 1828 the Morris canal was surveyed, and its building com-

menced. It was completed for travel in 1832. In 1848 the Momsand Essex railroad was continued from Mori'istown to Dover :

previous to that time a stage route from Newark, by way of

Bloomfield and Parsippany, passed through the village, carrying

the mail and passengers.

About 1835, Joseph C. Righter built his foundry on Berry's

Brook, and further up on the same stream a manufactory still

standing west of the church-lot. In 1845 James Fuller and Mahlon

Hoagland built the foundry which was burned in 1851, and rebuilt

by Freeman Wood. In 1855 the Rockaway Manufacturing Com-

pany was chartered. It rebuilt and enlarged the rolling-mill, put-

ting in steam-power, &c., but soon failed.

In 1856 the Iron Bank was organized and started here as a

State bank, but was shortly afterwards carried to Morristown.

The pastoral relation between Dr. Joseph F. Tuttle and the

church was dissolved by the presbytery of Rockaway in April,

18(j2, and on April 27th following he preached his farewell sermon.

On the 5th of May, 1862, the Session and Trustees voted to

invite Mr. S. P. Halsey, a student in Union Theological Seminary,

to supply the pulpit for two months. Mr. Halsey accepted the in-

vitation, and preached his first sermon May 11th. His preaching

was so acceptable tliat at a parish meeting, June 12th, Rev. B. C.

Magie, presiding, a unanimous call was extended to him to become

pastor at a salary of $600 per annum.

On the 8th day of July, 1862, Mr. Halsey, having accepted the

call, was ordained and installed pastor of the church.

Rev. Samuel P. Balsey was born at Avon, N. Y., August 11th,

1834, and on his mother's side was descended from Deacon Ross,

Page 21: Historical Manual of the Rockaway Presbyterian Church (1880)

19

one of the founders of the church. He prepared for college at a

classical school at Rochester, N. Y., and at Lodi, Mich., and entered

Michigan University in 1855. On leaving that institution he began

the study of law, and was admitted in the city of Brooklyn, Feb-

ruary 12th, 1858. Becoming converted in the spring of that year,

he felt it to be his duty to preach the gospel, and accordingly

entered Union Theological Seminary in the fall of 1859, and grad-

uated from that institution in May, 1862. In 1863 he was mar-

ried to Miss Margaret P. Bowers, of Brooklyn. In September,

1862, his salary was raised to $700, and in September, 1864, it

was further raised to $1000.

Receiving a call from the First Presbyterian Church of Stam-

ford, Conn., December 25th, 1864, Mr. Halsey concluded to accept

it, and at his request the parish united with him, January 12th,

1865, in asking Presbytery to dissolve the relation, which was done

at a meeting of Presbytery in Rockway, Januaiy 17th following.

The ministry of ]\Ir. Halsey lay wholly within the time of the

war, and religion in the hearts of pastor and people often assumed

the form of patriotism. The church grew in numbers, and a

powerful revival was experienced in the winter of 1863-4, in which

many, especially from the Sunday-school, were converted. During

his ministry, twenty-nine were received into the church by profes-

sion, and nine by letter—thirty-eight in all. After two years'

service at Stamford, Mr. Halsey resigned his charge there on ac-

count of ill health, and since November 3d, 1869, has been pastor

of what is now the Franklin Avenue Presbyterian Church of

Brooklyn.

Dr. George Jones, a Methodist minister, practicing medicine in

Rockaway, frequently supplied the pulpit after Mr. Halsey's de-

parture, and his sermon upon the death of Mr. Lincoln will be

remembered as one occasion of many in which he served the church

in an emergency.

At a meeting of the Session and Trustees, April 11th, 1865, it

was resolved to employ Rev. Wm. E. Honeyman, a graduate of

Princeton, Class of 1861, as stated supply for three month, at the rate

of $800 a year. Before the expiration of this time, at an adjoui-ned

parish meeting. May 29th, a caU was extended to Mr. Honeyman.

There being some want of unanimity in the congregation, he was

not installed, but the Presbytery meeting at Rockaway, August

23d, he was ordained as an evangelist, and continued to preach as

stated supply until April 1st, 1866, when he preached for the last

Page 22: Historical Manual of the Rockaway Presbyterian Church (1880)

20

time, owing to some disagreemeut between him and the Trustees.

On the next Sabbath, Dr. Thornton Mills occupied the pulpit, and

at the close of the morning service read a letter from JVIi*. Honey-

man, declining to act any longer as supply.

During the yeai- 1865 the cemetery was put in such shape that

deeds could be given for lots, and a system organized for its care

in the future. The work was begun in 1860, under the direction

of Mr. J. B. Bassinger, who employed a civil engineer, Mr. HeniyL. Southard, to sui'vey the church property and j)lot the graveyard.

During the summer of 1861, through the personal appeals of

Dr. Tuttle, the people turned out with teams and very greatly im-

proved the cemetery—putting it very much in its present shape.

The work was completed in 1865, and a committee of three of the

Trustees, called the Cemetery Committee, has since that time had

the management of this part of the church property.

In 1865, at the suggestion of Mr. Honeyman, the singing was

improved by the introduction of the "Songs of the Sanctuary."

Up to that time, "Watts and Select Hymns" had been used, the

choir selecting the tunes according to their own judgment.

In the spring of 1866, a slate roof was jxit upon the chiu-ch at

an expense of $698, and during the summer the work of improve-

ment was continued by painting the inside of the church, lowering

the galleries, reseating the auditorium, &c. June 17th, 1866, Rev.

O. H. Perry Deyo preached his first sermon in the church, and

continued to sujjply the pulpit thereafter. Sept. 19th, 1866, at a

parish meeting, the officers of the church were instructed to em-ploy Mr. Deyo as stated supply, at a salary of $1000 per annum,

till further action could be taken. October 2d, 1866, they invited

him to supply the puljoit for six months, and he accepted.

From October 21st, 1866 to March 14th, 1867, the congregation

worshipped in the school-house, owing to the repairs then being

made on the church. On the latter date the repainted and refit-

ted chiirch was rededicated to Almighty God, and a debt of $2050

raised—making the whole amount expended on the church $5000

a sum equal to its entire first cost.

While the congregation was worshipping in the school-house, a

revival occurred, exceeding in intensity and power anything exper-

ienced in many years. The pastor was indefatigable in his labors

and the church was blessed in an unusual degree.

On the 7th of March, 1867, at a parish meeting held in the

school-house, it was unanimously voted to extend a call to Mr.

Page 23: Historical Manual of the Rockaway Presbyterian Church (1880)

21

Deyo to become pastor of the church, at a salary $1200 per

annum. The call was accepted, and on the 30th of April, he was

regularly installed by the Presbytery.

Rev. O. H. Perry Deyo, thus installed seventh pastor of the

church, was born in 1817, at Highlands, opposite Fishkill, on the

Hudson, in New York. He united with the church at twenty years of

age, and studied for the ministr^^ principally with Rev. Mr. Wilde.

He was licensed as an evangelist by the North River Presbytery,

at Amenia, Dutchess county, N. Y., in 1855, where he labored for

about a year. He had dechned to be installed a pastor tUl he

accepted the invitation of this church. His ministry here was very

successful, and resulted in gathering into the church eighty-four

by profession and fourteen by letter, and in quickening and ele-

vating the piety of the people.

In 1868, the location of the church lines Was accurately deter-

mined, and a map and survey signed by the Trustees and adjoin-

ing owners was recorded in the Registry of Deeds in the County

Clerk's office. Book H 7, page 109.

In 1871, the road in front of the church was thrown out to its

present place instead of winding up near the church. FromMarch 20th, 1871 to May 29th, the sum of $837 was expended on

the work of building the wall and filling and grading the road,

under the supervision of Mr. Deyo, but the present grade was not

estabhshed until the fi-ont fence was built in 1874.

At the parish meeting, September 21st, 1870, Elder Samuel B.

Halsey expressed a desire to see some steps taken to secure a par-

sonage while he was yet hving, and offered a lot and a sum of

money, provided $1000 should be raised, including his subscrip-

tion, within a year thereafter. Mr. Halsey died in September,

1871, but his administrators, manifesting a desire to carry out his

purj)ose, the Board of Trustees, Februaiy 19th, 1872, resolved to

proceed with the work.

On March 11th following, $1175 had been subscribed by twen-

ty-six individuals, and a building committee consisting of Dr.

Columbus Beach, Mahlon Hoagland and Charles C. De Hart, wasappointed, under whose supervision the building was prosecuted

during the summer of 1872 aud the following winter and summer,till its completion. The whole cost was reported December 1st,

1873, to be $5310 ; but the deficiency of $1100 was provided for

in two notes of $700 and $400, the former of which was paid next

year by the congregation, and the latter by the Cemetery Commit-

Page 24: Historical Manual of the Rockaway Presbyterian Church (1880)

22

tee, out of their funds, in 1879. The whole cost of the parsonage

to the present date—exclusive of the lot, the fence, the grading,

and the barn built in 1877—was $5600.

At the parish meeting, September 18th, 1872, a resolution was

carried to fix the minister's salary at $1000 instead of $1200—in

view of the financial burdens of the parish. Mr. Deyo feeling

aggrieved that this action should have been taken without con-

sulting him, tendered his resignation through Kev. B. C. Magie,

who occupied the pulpit the ensuing Sabbath, September 29th.

At a parish meeting October 2d, the people refused to assent to

Mr. Deyo's request for them to unite in asking Presbytery to dis-

solve his pastoral relation with them. Presbytery being at a loss

how to act, sent Rev. Dr. Ogden, of Chatham, and Mr. Jeremiah

Baker, of Madison, as a committee of investigation. This com-

mittee met the Session and Trustees, October 7th, and after con-

ference with them reported to Presbytery, whereupon the relation

was dissolved, and the pulpit, by direction of Presbytery, declared

vacant by the Rev. Daniel Magie, of Boonton, October 20th, 1872.

After Mr. Deyo's departure^ the Rev. O. S. St. John, who was

on the editorial staff of the " New York Witness," was employed

as stated supply until July, 1873 ; such candidates as the church

desired to hear, having the pulpit as occasion required.

From this time till the end of the year, the pulpit was supplied

by Rev. Pearce Rogers, of Mine Hill, excepting on particular Sab-

baths when candidates or visiting ministers were heard.

At the annual parish meetingf, September 17th, 1873, the Ceme-tery Committee were authorized to purchase adjoining lands from

Abraham W. Shawger, w^hich was done, and some three acres

added to the cemetery. The price of lots was then raised from

six to ten cents per superficial foot.

March 15th and 22d, 1874, Mr. David E. Platter, a student in

Lane Theological Seminary, Cincinnati, Ohio, occupied the pulpit,

and on Sunday, April 19th, after morning service, a parish meet-

ing was held, at which a unanimous call was extended to him with

a salary of $1200 and the parsonage. A subscription was taken

up at once, which amounted to the sum fixed. On Sunday, April

14th, Mr. Platter's acceptance was laid before the officers of the'

church, to take e£fect June 14th, 1874. On the 7th of June, Mr.

Rogers, who had so long and faithfuUy served as supply that hehad come to be considered as almost a settled pastor, preachedhis farewell sermon. A a the fruit of a deep rehgious interest

Page 25: Historical Manual of the Rockaway Presbyterian Church (1880)

23

manifest during his ministry, fourteen persons were admitted into

the church on the first day of Mr. Platter's ministry.

Rev. David Edwin Platter, the eighth and present pastor of the

church, was bom near Locust Grove, in Adams county, Ohio, Jan.

25th, 1849. He prepared for college at Salem Academy, South

Salem, Ohio, and entering the freshman class at Miami University,

Oxford, Ohio, in 1867, graduated in 1871. In the fall of that year

he entered Lane Seminary, at Cincinnati, Ohio. During the vaca-

tion of 1872, he supplied the Presbyterian Church of Mt. Leigh,

Ohio, and during the vacation of 1873, the Presbyterian Church

of Eckmansville, in the same State. Graduating from the semin-

ary in the spring of 1874, and having already accepted the call to

Rockaway, he immediately took charge of the church, preaching

his first sermon, June 14th. He was licensed by the Presbytery

of Portsmouth, ia the spring of 1873, and ordained and installed

by the Presbytery of Morris and Orange, July 22d, 1874. He wasmarried to Miss Susan Hutchings, of Bermuda, December 18th,

1877. Since his installation, including the fourteen already men-

tioned, one hundred and twenty persons have united with the

church.

Of his own ministry it becometh him not to speak, other than to

thank God for putting him into this ministry.

At a parish meeting held Thm-sday evening. May 13th, 1880, it

was resolved to build a session-house, and $2300 was pledged for

that purpose by the persons present. The following Sunday morn-

ing this subscription was increased, and soon after the work wasbegun. Messrs. Dr. Columbus Beach, Mahlon Hoagland and

James H. Bruen, were appointed a Building Committee, and under

their hands the building is fast approaching completion.

Dated September 27th, 1880.

, CATALOGUE No. d.

^n Alphabetical Catalogue of Persons who belonged to the Rockaway

Parish previous to the year 1808.

The object of this catalogue is to give and preserve the names

of all those who were in any way associated with the early history

of the church, either as attendants, contributors to its support or

members in full communion. As no sessional records were kept

previous to the year 1798, it is impossible to determine accurately

who were members of the church as well as of the parish, and whowere members of the parish only. Many took an interest in and

helped the church financially, and held pews in it, who were not

communicants. In this list communicants are distinguished from

adherents by a star attached to their names. Those only are thus

marked who are known to have been communicants. The date

attached to the name is when it is first found in the parish records.

In most cases it is only an approximate date, as related to the as-

sociation of the person with the church. AU names dated 1758

are those of persons associated with the fii'st organization of the

church.
