THE TOWN OF STARK
AN ADDRESS by WARREN HAWN of STARKVILLE
Delivered Before the Herkimer County Historical Society, February 11, 1905.

Among the early settlers were the Champion brothers from Massachusetts, Daniel and John. They located here in 1798, and to their energy and business ability, is largely due the prosperity that came to the little village among the hills. In 1800, Daniel Champion built a sawmill on the south side of the Otsquago, one and a half mile south west of the village, and the same year a cloth finishing and fulling mill, which did a large and profitable business for a number of years, under the management of Sherman Wentworth. In 1802, a schoolhouse was built and is said to have been the first one erected in the town; Miles Bristol was installed as teacher, and remained in charge of the school a long time. He was very acceptable to the parents of the children under his charge, as he was a firm believer in the truth of the maxim "spare the rod and spoil the child" and I am assured from reliable sources, that none were spoiled under his tuition

Miles married Elizabeth "Betsy" DEFOREST about 1821 in Erie, Erie Co, PA. Elizabeth (daughter of Nehemiah DEFOREST and Mary LOCKWOOD) was born on 16 Jan 1785 in New York, NY; died on 29 Oct 1841 in Erie, Erie Co, PA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
