On May 15th 1806, a few inhabitants of “Long Pond Settlement &Vicinity” met and drew up articles of agreement for the building of a“Presbyterian Meeting House.” In 1818, the original meeting housewas taken down with a new one erected on the site. A year later in1819, it organized as the Presbyterian Church. On February 21, 1842, the church burned to its foundation and a

was rebuilt in December of the same year. The church remainedunchanged until 1956 when the sanctuary was enlarged and a wingwas added. Still on its same foundation, the original church standstoday at 1452 Union Valley Road, West Milford, NJ much as it didin 1807.

PCHS LIBRARIAN KATHLEEN GRIMSHAW-HAVEN

IS ALSO A GENEALOGIST

Having been born in Paterson and raised in Clifton, I’vealways been interested in local history, so I was very excitedwhen I learned the Historical Society was looking for a librarian.I used the library here years ago to do my own genealogicalresearch, and I actually did some work here as a Rutgers graduatestudent back in 1996. After getting my Masters in

Library Services from Rutgers, Iworked as the Head of InformationServices at Exxon and then movedon to become a Knowledge Analystfor Novartis Pharmaceuticals. I wasa part-time reference librarian atRamapo College and currently apart-time reference librarian atWilliam Paterson Universitywhere I’ve been since 1986. I continue to do my own

genealogical research, staying upto date by attending various genealogical seminars, and I’malways on the look-out for a new Web resource. My hope isto organize our library and archival materials in a way that willmake them more accessible and easier to use for both genealogistsand local historians.

Guest Speakers at our April Meeting, Charles Eckhardt, in CivilWar Uniform and Bob MacAvoy presented “Our Brothers GoneBefore”, New Jerseys Civil War Veterans.

Architectural Historian, Clifford Zink, presented “Dutch BuildingTraditions in New Jersey” at our March meeting.

Cindy Burns

From time to time I had written for various types vitalrecords from about 1848 through 1878 and received copies ofledger-style pages. As only one person on the page was ofinterest to me, the others were forgotten. Later, I realized theseother entries may be useful to other researchers, and I wentback to start transcribing them. Many of these entries did not

have a great citation and were not always a legible copy (otherthan the names that pertained to me), but I have tried to clarifythe names on the documents.Perhaps (hopefully) this will inspire others to transcribe the

records they have in their notes.
