PREBLE, N. Y.
A History of the Town and Its Early Settlers, and Mention of Many Who are to-day Prominent as Business Men or Residents.
Ten miles north of Cortland on the D. L. & W railroad lies the prosperous village of Preble. The town was named in honor of Commodore Preble and was formed from the military township of Tully upon the organization of Cortland county on April 8, 1808. The surface is broken, a fertile and well cultivated valley extends through the town from north to south, and is met by another valley opening to' the northwest and extending to Otisco lake. On either side of these valleys the hills rise to a considerable height and are broken by numerous waterways of more or less extent.
About one mile south of the village stands the historic Mount Topping which rises to a height of seventeen hundred feet above tide. This monarch of nature stands just above the Little York lakes and from it, Cozy Isle the summer home of Assemblyman Van Hoesen can be seen. This mountain is covered with a heavy growth of chestnut, beech and maple timber. On the east side the descent, in some places, is so abrupt as not to be passable. A drive-way winds up the south side of the mountain and passing around emerges into the valley on the north near the Village of Preble. The visitor standing upon this historic mountain can look for many miles up and down the fertile valley of the Tioughnioga [river] and upon the rocky ledges the geologist can find ample material for study and research.
FIRST SETTLEMENT.
The first settlement in the town of Preble was made by James Cravath and John Gill in 1796. Cravath was a native of Connecticut, but came to Preble from Pompey Hill and located on lot No. 68. Gill located on lot 76. Samuel and Robert Cravath came from Norfolk, Conn., in 1797 and settled on lot 68.
Harry Hill and Eliza Mason came in during the year 1798. Hill was a former resident of Montgomery county and located on lot 87 which he drew for services in the Revolutionary war. Seth Trowbridge from Montgomery county located in the town of Preble on lot 59 in 1799. In 1800 Samuel Trowbrldge, Minnah Hyatt and Samuel Orvis settled on the same lot. Trowbridge served in the Revolution and drew the lot.
In 1801 Augustus Thorp located on lot 78. In 1802 Jabez B. Phelps, John Osgood, Silas Topping and Samuel C. Buckelow came in and located upon various sections of the town.
JUDGE PHELPS.
Judge Phelps was originally from Hebron, Conn., but came to Preble from Cazenovia. He located upon lot 88 and for several years practiced medicine but later turned his attention largely to politics. He occupied many important offices among which were associate judge, surrogate and member of assembly. One of Mr. Phelps' daughters afterwards became the wife of Dr. Burdick, so well and favorably known in Preble.
LYTLE FERGUSON.
In 1802 Lytle Ferguson came from Montgomery county and located on lot 65. He afterwards became the father of seven children.
AMOS SKEELE.
In 1803 Amos Skeele and Jason Comstock came from Schenectady. Hon. Ira Skeele and Wm. W. Skeele were his sons and for many years were highly respected citizens of Preble. William later went to Missouri and became a prominent man.
CAME IN 1804.
In 1804 John Collyer, Dr. Robert D. Taggart and Edward Cummings came to Preble. Collyer came from Greene county and settled on lot 58. Taggart came from Colrain, Mass., and located on lot 59. He was an exceedingly active and prominent man. Cummings came from Peterboro, N. H. and settled on lot 59.
GARRET VAN HOESEN.
In 1806 Garret Van Hoesen and his sons, Garret, Francis and Albert came from Greene county and located on lot 68. He purchased of James Cravath, the original settler, three hundred and fifty acres of land at $12.50 per acre. Many of their descendants still reside in Preble.
JAMES CROFOOT.
James Crofoot was one of the prominent early settlers and emigrated from Connecticut about the year 1806, arriving in Preble the latter part of that year. He settled on lot 88 and was one of the first settlers in that portion known as Baltimore. Joseph Crofoot, a descendant of James Crofoot, was for many years postmaster of that hamlet. His son, David Crofoot, was a tanner and currier and became wealthy. He was the father of D. O. Crofoot, a prominent resident of Preble at the present time. The old stone building which for a long time has stood near the present home of Justice Frank Collier, was for many years the property of Mr. Crofoot and used as a tannery. It was also later used as a blacksmith shop, shoe, and various other purposes. A portion of the old walls still remain in remembrance of the past. The records of the town show that David Crofoot represented his town as supervisor during the years of 1823, '24, '25, '30, '32, '33, '34, '39, '40, '43, '44 '45, '46, '52 and '53, fifteen years in all, but extending over a period of thirty years.
THE FIRST MILL.
The first grist mill in the town of Preble was erected in the year 1806 by Samuel C. Woolston, who came from Montgomery county. The mill was run until about 1850 and then passed into the hands of Uriah Philley. In 1853 W. E. Tallman purchased the mill property, comprising 200 acres of valuable land. A saw mill was also connected with the grist mill.
OTHER EARLY SETTLERS.
John C. Hollenbeck and Richard Egbertson came from Greene county and located upon lot 58. Tunis Van Camp came from Schoharie county about this time, and located on lot 69. The farm was for many years occupied by Frederick Poor. In 1807 Rier Van Patten came from Schenectady and located on lot 56.
EARLY STORES AND HOTELS.
About 1806 Elijah Mason and Samuel Trowbridge erected the first frame house in the town. They were soon followed by John Collyer, who built near the river on the site of the Haviland farm. In this building Mr. Collyer kept hotel as late as 1813 when Moses Howard moved into the town.
In 1804 John Osgood opened a store at Preble Corners and in 1807 Wm. Vandenburg began keeping a tavern. Ashabel Frost opened a store on lot 78 about 1812 and Noah Parsons one on lot 68. These were probably the first stores between Syracuse and Binghamton.
BALTIMORE.
David Crofoot commenced his tanning business about 1810 in Baltimore, and Isaac Crofoot, his cousin, some years later opened a tavern there. This passed through several hands and was finally kept by Geo. Haines. A post office was located at Baltimore from 1812 until 1882.

J. H. Cummings was born in Preble in 1856 and has since resided there. In 1876 he opened a general store and on April 1, 1885, purchased the stock of John Roe. On the night of April 31, of the same year, the store was burned, and Mr. Cummings was forced to store such goods as escaped the flames in the barn of John H. Gay. The store was, previous to the fire, owned by Wm. Bryan. A short time after the fire John H. Gay purchased the store site and erected the present commodious building.

The building is a three and a half story structure surmounted by a four gable roof. It is finely adapted to the wants of the public. A large hall is located on the third floor where dances and public entertainments are held. The rooms are large and finely furnished. The house is situated in the center of the village and commands a fine view of the surrounding town. The kitchen and diningroom is under the care of Mrs. Ercanbrack and the menu is first-class in all respects. The bar is well supplied with the choicest brands of liquors and cigars.

MILK STATION.
The milk station is owned by J. Bosch of New York and receives a large amount of milk dally.
NEWSPAPER NOTORIETY.
The town of Preble has always been a prominent one in this county and will be remembered by readers of the DEMOCRAT as the scenes of two murders and one mysterious death within a period of eleven years. Upon the hill east of the village Robert Griswold shot and killed his neighbor, Dennis O'Shea, and about a half mile southwest in the year 1897 Thomas Lavan was found murdered at the home of Patrick Galvin. Griswold was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to Auburn for fifteen years, but recently died in the hospital for insane criminals at Mattewan. Galvin was held for the murder of Lavan, but through the efforts of J. & T. E. Courtney was acquitted and the murderer of Lavan has never been apprehended.
Here, upon the farm adjoining the home of Galvin, a lady was found head foremost in a well, the opening at the top being only 13x16 inches. How she came there has always remained a mystery. Thus it can be seen that Preble has furnished her full share of startling news to readers of the DEMOCRAT.
