PITCHER.
A History of the Town and Its Early Settlers, and Mention of Many Who are to-day Prominent as Business Men or Residents.
The town of Pitcher is situated in the northeastern part of Chenango county and about four miles north of Cincinnatus. The town is six miles long and four wide, and is pleasantly situated in the beautiful Otselic valley. The town contains three postoffices, namely: Pitcher, North Pitcher and Pitcher Springs.
EARLY SETTLERS.
The town of Pitcher was formed in 1827 and was taken from the town of Lincklaen. Many years ago a syndicate composed of wealthy Germans purchased a tract of land reaching from the southern portion of Chenango county to a point pear Cazenovia; after acquiring possession of this tract, these wealthy Germans erected two mansions, one of which was within the present boundaries of the town of Pitcher. One of these castles was for many years occupied by Lemuel Howe. Mr. Howe was widely known throughout a large territory as the owner and manager of a large distillery. He had several sons, Wyman, Joseph and others whose names cannot be ascertained.
BENJAMIN FAIRCHILDS.
The first settler in the immediate vicinity of Pitcher, so far as known, was Benjamin Fairchilds, who came from Connecticut some time about 1800. The country about where Pitcher now stands was a dense forest, and the work of getting supplies was difficult and dangerous. Benjamin Fairchilds was the father of four sons, Lemuel, Zolman, Isaac and Daniel. He was a man of strong character, great industry and soon accumulated a comfortable fortune. Lemuel became the father of three sons, namely: Benjamin, Daniel and Atwood.
JAMES FAIRCHILDS.
James Fairchilds, who for many years was a prominent citizen of Cortland, was a son of Isaac Fairchilds and was for some years a resident of Pitcher prior to his coming to Cortland.
BENJAMIN FAIRCHILDS.
Benjamin Fairchilds, the oldest son of Lemuel Fairchilds, was born February 22, 1811, in Connecticut and came with his parents to Pitcher. For many years he was extensively engaged in farming and stock buying, and amassed a considerable fortune. He died about twelve years ago and was buried in the family lot at Pitcher.
H. D. FAIRCHILDS.
H. D. Fairchilds, a son of Benjamin Fairchilds, was born February 26. 1851, and has spent the greater part of his life in Pitcher. Mr. Fairchilds has conducted the hardware store at Pitcher since December, 1888. He has never sought political honors, but has consented to act as town clerk for the past four years. He also enjoyed the same honor when 21 years of age. Besides his hardware business, Mr. Fairchilds is an extensive land owner and takes a just pride in his various farms. In politics he is usually considered a Republican, but at all times feels free to vote for the man who is untrammeled by political bosses on whatever ticket his name appears.
MRS. CHAS. HAKES.
Mrs. Chas. Hakes, a daughter of Zalman Fairchilds, now lives at Pitcher, and is a highly respected citizen. Much could be said of the Fairchilds and their business industry while residents of Pitcher, and reference will be made to some of them during this article.
ELIJAH FENTON.
Among the first settlers of Pitcher was Elijah Fenton, who came from Connecticut early in 1800. He became the father of several children, among which were Elijah and Enos Fenton.
ENOS FENTON.
Enos Fenton still resides in Pitcher village, and is a retired gentleman. He is a lawyer, and in past years has participated. in many law-suits in his native county and elsewhere.
HOTEL.
The first public house in Pitcher was built about 1800 by Benjamin Fairchilds, and was a small red building. It stood upon the same corner as the present hotel. For many years this supplied the needs of the traveling public, but in 1820 the necessity of a larger and more modern house became apparent, and the old house was moved upon the lot where Mrs. Harrington's elegant house now stands. The moving was one of the events of the year and was accomplished by a large force of citizens and the help of forty yoke of oxen. The building was with considerable difficulty placed upon the foundation and remained there until a few years ago, when it was torn down to make room for the spacious house now owned and occupied by Mrs. Harrington, who is a sister of Harrison Wells of Cortland,
LESTER TINKER.
Among the venerable residents of Pitcher we mention with pride Lester Tinker, who was born at Nelson, Madison county, in October. 1811. Soon afterwards he came to Pitcher, where he has since resided. When Mr. Tinker came to reside at what is now Pitcher, the land about him was all under the control of the Gorman syndicate, and he graphically describes the mansions which they had already erected, but of which not one vestige now remains. Mr. Tinker early learned the business of carpenter and builder and has since erected many substantial buildings in and about Pitcher He assisted in erecting and completing the present Pitcher hotel, which was built 74 years ago. Mr. Tinker, although in his 90th year, still enjoys a fair degree of health and retains his faculties to a marked degree. His memory is remarkable and the writer is under obligation to him for many facts concerning the early settlement of Pitcher. He has one child, Mrs. Daniel Baldwin, of Albion, Orleans county. He has eight grandchildren, four girls and four boys, in whom he takes great pride. Of these, two sons, Chas. and Fred Baldwin, reside in Pitcher and hold the positions of postmaster and supervisor of the town.
PITCHER HOTEL.
The Pitcher hotel, which is one of the landmarks, was built in 1826 by Daniel Fairchilds and conducted as a public house by him until his death some years afterwards. Since that time the occupants of the house have been many and their stay in several instances brief. The following have at some time acted as landlord at the Pitcher house: E. C. Lyons, Mr. Robinson, Hiram N. Fuller, Sanford Hill, John L. Eaton, Curtis Chatfield, Isaac Tuttle, Frank Chapel, J. Q. Perry, Reed Randall. John Randall, Chas. Nichols, Ransford Brown, O. Z. Angell, Nichols & Wedge, Lewis Messenger, L. E. Darling and the present proprietor John H. Carey. Mr. Carey is a genial young man, whose home has previous to May 1 been at North Otselic. Since assuming the management of the hotel, Mr. Carey has re-painted and partially re-papered the house and to-day it presents a very homelike appearance. The table under the supervision of Mrs. Carey is first-class and every possible attention is given travelers. A commodious barn is always open to the public.
HOTEL BURGLARS.
During the time that Mr. Chatfield was proprietor of the house robbers came and ransacked the premises. The first robbery was committed in Preston and the thieves at once started toward Pitcher. Several places were burglarized before Pitcher was reached. At Chandler's Corners, about a mile north of Pitcher, the house of John Sines was entered and various articles taken, among which was jewelry, pies and a small amount of cash. They next visited the hotel and entering the room of landlord Chatfield they proceeded to rid his pockets of all the cash they contained. This they accomplished without difficulty and then going across the road to the store of Frank P, Hakes they took several pairs of boots from a broken window. They did not, however, force an entrance to the store. They also entered the home of Rev. D. W. Bigelow, but secured little. At the hotel they exchanged the pies taken from the Sines house at Chandler's Corners for others, which to their notion were more palatable, and departed in the direction of Union Valley. In the early morning this untimely visit was discovered and several citizens started in pursuit. They were traced to Haights Gulf, near East Homer, and here all track of them was lost and their identity remains a mystery.
PHYSICIANS.
Among the early physicians we find Dr. David McWhorter, who for many years attended to the physical ailments of the people of Pitcher and nearby towns. He also did much to advance the business prosperity of the village, among which was the erection of the large stone house now owned and occupied by Mrs. A. B. Packer.
Other early physicians were Dr. Lovell and Dr. Avery. The present physician of the town is Dr. L. C. Andrews, who has been a resident of the place for the last ten years. He is a highly respected citizen and a successful practitioner. He occupies a pleasant home on Main-st.
JAMES BIGELOW PACKER.
Among the wealthy and influential citizens of Pitcher who have passed away is James Bigelow Packer. Mr. Packer was a former resident of Preston, Chenango county, but for many years did a large business buying stock in and about Pitcher. His death occurred about six years ago. He left a widow, two sons and one daughter. The widow and one son, Lynn Packer, now own and occupy the large stone house on South-st, which was built by Dr. David McWhorter.
HON. RALPH TAYLOR.
Hon. Ralph Taylor, one of the leaders of the town, owns a fine farm just north of Pitcher village and enjoys the highest respect of all who know him. For several terms Mr. Taylor represented his town upon the board of supervisors and was then honored by his county with an election to the assembly. At Albany he was ever foremost in any good work, and while the positions which he took in regard to state senator were not in accord with all of his constituents, still he had the satisfaction of doing what in his judgment was best. Mr. Taylor is a member of the school board and ever interested in all things which tend towards the future prosperity of Pitcher.
SOLOMON K. BEMIS.
Solomon K. Bemis was for many years a resident of Pitcher and became a prominent political leader, serving his county as supervisor and as a member of assembly. He now resides at Canastota,
THOMAS CARTER.
Thomas Carter was also numbered among the prominent citizens of Pitcher, he too serving a turn at Albany, as the representative of his county. Mr. Carter is now dead.
SCHOOLS.
The people of Pitcher have always given great attention to the schools of the town, and two years ago it was felt necessary to erect a new school building and an effort was made to consolidate four small districts into one. The consolidation was brought about and a handsome and substantial two story building was erected up on a commanding location just outside of the village, and upon the road leading to South Otselic. In securing this consolidation and comfortable building much credit is due Mr. F. J. Tuttle, D. E. Dickerson and Geo. H. Brown, who comprised the board. The school building contains two large and well lighted rooms upon the ground floor and a well arranged public hall upon the second floor. The school is now under the management of Prof. LeRoy D. Trapp principal, and Miss Elizabeth Taylor primary.
THE HAKES FAMILY.
Among the prominent and highly respected families of Pitcher it gives the writer much pleasure to speak at some length of the Hakes family. The history of the family is an honorable one and dates back to the old English records. In this article, however, we shall confine ourselves to the last two generations of the family and to those who have identified themselves particularly with the prosperity of Pitcher.
DENISON R. HAKES.
Denison R. Hakes, one of the pioneers of Pitcher, was born in 1811 at Pitcher Springs and was for many years known as one of the leading men of his town. He was an extensive farmer and one of the largest sheep growers in Central New York. He became the father of seven children, who reside as follows: David M., Anamosa, Iowa; Catherine M., now the wife of Burdett Blackman of North Pitcher; Lucius M., who resides at Pitcher; Elias R., who resides at Pitcher village; Haskell R., now an extensive farmer at Pitcher and ex-postmaster of the town; Emmett, now a resident of Pitcher village, and Frank P. Hakes of Cortland. Dennison Hakes spent his whole life in Pitcher and amassed a considerable fortune. He died in 1882 and was deeply mourned by his family and the community at large.
GEORGE HAKES.
Geo. Hakes, a brother of Denison, was born in 1806 at Stonington, Conn., and came to Pitcher in 1811. He settled on the farm adjourning that of his brother Denison at Pitcher Springs. He, too, was successful in business. On Friday last Mr. Hakes died at the advanced age of 94 years.
FRANK P. HAKES.
Frank P. Hakes was born in Pitcher Springs. His early life was spent upon his father's farm, but at an early age he manifested an aptitude for business, which has since placed him in the front rank among the business men of this section. For several years Mr. Hakes was employed as clerk in the store of E. W. Allen and in 1874 purchased the business and large store of Mr. Allen which is now occupied by Baldwin Bros. He continued in business here from 1873 to 1893, and so popular did Mr. Hakes become that his townsmen selected him as their representative upon the board of supervisors. This position he held continually for eleven years, and in view of the fact that Mr. Hakes has always been an out and out democrat and the town is Republican by about 50, his election was a high tribute to his personal popularity and business qualifications. In 1893 Mr. Hakes sold the business at Pitcher and entered the insurance firm of Davis, Jenkins & Hakes, to which he has added much strength. He is a member of the school board of Cortland and very popular generally.
HASKELL R. HAKES.
Haskell R. Hakes is a brother of Frank P. Hakes and a prosperous farmer. During the Cleveland administration Mr. Hakes was the postmaster or Pitcher.
RALPH RANDALL.
Ralph Randall is numbered among the well-to-do men of the place, and at one time was the postmaster of the village. He owns a fine farm just south of the village, in which he takes great pride.
HORACE HALBERT.
Horace Halbert was for many years a physician at Pitcher and now resides at Canastota.
MERCHANTS OF PITCHER.
O. F. Forbes and E. A. Fish for many years conducted a general store at Pitcher. Mr. Fish is now interested in the real estate business at Cortland.
Wm. and Addison Taylor succeeded Messrs. Forbes and Fish in the mercantile business, and they in turn were succeeded by Bemiss & Barrett. The store which they occupied is just south of the handsome store of H. D. Fairchilds and has long since been abandoned as a place of business.
BALDWIN BROS.
Baldwin Bros., the present merchants, purchased the business of F. P. Hakes in 1893 and have done a very prosperous business. They carry a large line of goods generally found in a country store. Chas. Baldwin is the postmaster of the place, while Fred is the supervisor, having succeeded Mr. Hakes when that gentleman removed to Cortland in 1894. They are the general managers of the Tiona oil station at Cincinnatus and oil is furnished the dealers at South Otselic, Greene, Cincinnatus, Taylor, Lincklaen and Pharsalia. In politics they are Republican and prominent in Chenango county.
JAMES H. JOHNSON.
The shoemaker of the town is James H. Johnson, who recently opened a general repair shop in the small building formerly occupied by R. R. Hall as a harness shop.
BLACKSMITH.
Frank Tuttle and Chas. Wildman conduct the two blacksmith shops in the immediate vicinity of Pitcher, and both do a prosperous business.
MILLINERY.
A well equipped millinery store is conducted by Mrs. Cook. She also exhibits and has sale days at several other towns nearby.
GEO. A. BROWN.
Geo. A. Brown is the justice of the peace and owns a fine farm about one and one-half miles north of Pitcher. Mr. Brown, besides looking after his farm, is also extensively engaged in the egg and poultry business. He buys from 65,000 to 85,000 dozen per year, and many are shipped to Scranton and New York. During the summer Mr. Brown places many thousand dozen in the cold storage of T. E. Dye of Cortland. During the last seven weeks he has purchased 100 cases per week in the towns of Pitcher, Cincinnatus and Taylor alone.
WAR VETERANS.
A few members of the grand army still remain in Pitcher, among which we have learned of the following: L. H. Fox, for a long time confined in Andersonville Prison, F. J. Tuttle, Robert Cooper, Uriah Parslow, Chas. Barrett and Hudson Davis.
E. W. TERRILL.
Prominent among the residents of Pitcher we desire to mention Mr. E W. Terrill, who was born in that town in 1835 and has been quite closely connected with the prosperity of the place since reaching his majority. For 14 years Mr. Terrill was a justice of the town and was for some time clerk of the board of supervisors. At present he lives in the town of Cincinnatus, but spends much of his time in Pitcher. He is now one of the justices in Cincinnatus.
FRANK TAYLOR.
Frank Taylor is one of the most prosperous farmers and the assessor from the south part of the town.

Washington Letter.
(From Our Regular Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 18—Mr. McKinley must have doubts of the ability of [Mark] Hanna to carry out the program in Philadelphia, which he has o. k'd. That is the only explanation of the very bad taste he has shown in sending two members of the cabinet—Secretary Root and Postmaster General Smith—to Philadelphia, to help Hanna manipulate the Republican convention. Smith carried the platform, which he wrote under orders from Mr. McKinley and Hanna that will be adopted by the convention, and Root's special business is to see that Boss Platt doesn't get in his threatened monkey business with the vice-presidential portion of the Hanna-McKinley program.
If we haven't a sufficient number of troops in the Philippines to keep the Filipinos in subjection, how are we going to be able to send a lot of them to China to help the Europeans whip the Chinese "boxers'' into subjection? That is the problem which now confronts Mr. McKinley and his cabinet. And after this government helps the European government knock out the boxers and set up a new Chinese government, what will come next? That is the problem which may, in the very near future confront the American people. Are we ready to assume any new responsibilities for the government of more Asiatics? Have we not already more of that sort of thing than is desirable?
He is a very gullible chap indeed, who will be convinced by the number of national banks organized under the single gold standard law, enacted by the Republican congress, that the new law is a good thing. But that seems to be the Republican idea. Periodically since the law went into effect, Comptroller Dawes has given the press a statement showing the number of banks, etc. The last says 362 applications have been made and 159 authorized to organize, with a total capital of $8,645,000, and that the increase in National Bank Note circulation has been $51,997,910. A careful and correct statement of the condition of these new banks a year or two from now will be much more important than the figures now given out.
The administration was greatly chagrined by the indifference to the people of Washington towards Gen E. S. Otis, and took special pains to add attractions to the reception given him by the people of Rochester, his home city. Secretary Long sent the full Marine band, at public expense and Secretary Root virtually ordered Gen. Joe Wheeler, now an unassigned brigadier general in the regular army, to go to Rochester to help add enthusiasm to the occasion. Mr. McKinley has been made to realize by the indifference of the public toward Gen. Otis how unpopular his Philippine policy is with the people, and with the realization has come alarm. He knows that the people know that the responsibility for putting Otis in command in the Philippines, and keeping him in command after his unfitness for the position had been shown up, belongs to Wm. McKinley, and he fears that the people will be as indifferent towards him on election day as they have shown themselves to be towards Otis now. The spectre of doubt has become Mr. McKinley's constant companion.
Senor Nicholas Rivero, editor of one of the leading Havana papers, who has been in Washington a few days, thinks there has been wrong-doing in other branches of the Cuban Government as well as the postoffice branch. He gave the senate committee a pointer that should not be overlooked, when he said: "I wish we could have a thorough investigation of the expenditures of money on sanitary and engineering works. Such an investigation might reveal some interesting facts. The reports of fraud in connection with these works are very persistent in Havana, and investigation might show that a great deal of Cuban money has been improperly expended."
Admiral Dewey has found out that he was never in the running as a candidate for president, and has scratched his name off the entries to the race. In reply to a direct question as to whether he would accept the nomination for vice-president, on the Bryan ticket, the admiral said: "I have never contemplated being a candidate for vice-president. I am not a candidate for nomination to that office and would not accept the nomination [if] were offered to me. That is plain English."
The Democratic congressional campaign committee is sending out a list of trust-controlled goods, which have been as a result raised in price; also a table showing that the farmers of the country are paying one-third more for everything they consume, than they were paying when the Republican administration assumed power, while they have lost since March 4, 1897, by the decline of prices in farm products, the enormous sum of [$1,000,000,000].
PAGE FOUR—BRIEF EDITORIAL COMMENTS.
These little war tax stamps are enough to defeat McKinley, when you stop to think of what they are a constant reminder.
If the Philippine war be really over, as Otis asserts, why not take soldiers from there to send to China and not talk about an extra session of Congress to issue a call for more recruits?
One consolation, there will be no heavy chin whiskers in the Chinese war pictures.
Market statistics prove that the trusts have raised the price of nearly everything we eat or wear, and usually without a shadow of an excuse except greed.
During the past thirty years no Republican governor of New York has been re-elected. So much for the past. The future will take good care of itself.
What a mercy Roosevelt did not announce his vice-presidential wish early in the week. It would have taken away what little excitement and contest there was.
Not so long ago a landslide swept from power a president and congress who had spent nearly a billion dollars in two years. What will happen to one who has spent three-quarters of a billion in one year?
The Ice monopoly in New York will cut little figure in the campaign. The fact that a few Democrats were with some Republicans afflicted with the get- rich-quick disease will not blind the country to the fact that the Republican party is and always has been the steadfast friend of trusts.
First, the president lauded marines in China, now he is sending soldiers and a big fleet of warships under orders to be ready to go there at a moment's notice. Pretty soon he will wonder whether it wouldn't be just as well to take a slice of Chinese territory as indemnity for something or other. Then the Imperialists would ask "Who Will Haul Down the Flag?" and the taxpayers with their money and the soldiers with their lives would foot the bill. It is to be hoped the Philippine dose will be a lesson to the administration.
The statement of Gen. Otis, while of course made to show the best possible situation in the Philippines, really proves how utterly useless is the war the McKinley administration is waging. His estimate requires thousands of men in a standing army of occupation and this means millions—it is estimated at nearly fifty—annually of the taxpayers' money to support and the man who stands for this useless sacrifice of lives and money has been re-nominated for the presidency. His election would mean a continuance of the wasteful policy of the past three years.
HERE AND THERE.
As a sample of the work and excellent service of the Empire State Telephone company, the nomination of Roosevelt was known here two minutes after it was made on the floor of the convention.
Every purchaser of the Syracuse Herald next Sunday will receive a splendid photo gravure portrait of President McKinley. It is printed on very heavy paper with a tasteful border and is suitable for framing.
The superintendent of public instruction says that when poor children are not properly clothed for attending school the poormaster, upon application, must provide clothing for them. Also, that the law compelling children to attend school must be enforced in every case.
G. D. Crittenden of Santa Fe, N. M., an esteemed friend to the DEMOCRAT, sends us $5 this week to apply on his subscription account, closing his letter with the statement that the DEMOCRAT is a very welcome visitor to his home. That seems to be the prevailing sentiment all over the country.
The Freeville Leader says that "the Y being built near the junction at that place will prove to be of great benefit to the Lehigh R. R. people when completed, as hardly a day passes but what one or more engines are compelled to back either to Cortland or Ithaca in order to head the opposite direction."
The Science club met Saturday evening last and elected the following officers: President, Dr. F. W. Higgins; vice-president, A. Sager; secretary, A. J. Murray; treasurer, Dr. F. D. Reese. The election took place during a feast at the Candy Kitchen, where several toasts were responded to.
The Cazenovia Republican of last week paid the following compliment to L. L. Wellman of McGawville, who will take part in a concert at that place June 28: ''Mr Lee Wellman is a rising young singer of great promise. He is a favorite with Cortland people and leads the choir of the Grace church of that city. He has a strong resonant baritone voice which pleases the most fastidious."
A Livingston county farmer writes that the present indications are that he will not have enough hay this year to wad a gun. But Indians are getting so scarce up that way that it may not be necessary to wad a gun.
