1851— Feb. 3, Dexter Crossman, L. F. Ryckman, (died June 27, 1872,) Ansel Tyler, M. D., (died Feb. 2, 1866;) Feb. 17, James L. Davis, (died Feb. 11, 1874;) March 3, Joseph H. Gray; May 19, John C. Paddock, William A. Billiard, (dead;) July 7, Nathan C. Green, (honorary member;) Sept. 1, Charles R. Birdsall, (dead;) Oct. 6, Augustus S. Hull, (died Oct. 8,1877.) Ensign Josiah Hull, a soldier of the Revolution, came early in the 90's,’and settled on the back cross-road north of Crane's ’ulf, where he lived many years, removing to Oswego County about 1840, where he died. He was a prominent man in the early history of that section, and a great fox-hunter, enjoying the ' h‘avenly music" o” the hounds keenly. W. H. Hull, a prominent merchant of Ottawa, Ill., is a descendant. Stephen, a son of Ensign Hull, married a sister of Anson Cloyes, and built the house on the brow of the hill east of the Methodist Church, where he lived many years, and died about the year 1836; his widow afterwards marrying Henry Crane, sold the farm to Anson, her brother. Their sons were Augustus S.. and Horace. The latter went west some twenty years ago, where he died a few years since. Augustus always resided at Sauquoit. In returning from Clayville just at dark one evening in October, 1877, riding in a sulky, when opposite the N. W. Moore place, he was met by a runaway team, which collided with his conveyance, which halted them, and the shock threw him out, breaking his neck. Passers-by at once pulled him from beneath the halted horses, carried him into the house, but life was extinct. He was instantly killed. His sudden and untimely death shrouded the village in gloom, as he was a great favorite in the community for his cheerful and, pleasant manners and genial disposition. He had held many offices of trust in town, was one of the oldest members of Sauquoit Lodge, F. and A. M., and had held nearly every office in the Lodge. He was a kind-hearted, active brother of the "My“tic-tie," a”d a worthy scion of the old pioneer and Revolutionary hero, Ensign Josiah Hull. 1852— Feb. 16,Paul R. Miner; March 1, William L. Mould, (died Nov. 23,1864.;) May 17, Alvin P. Lanterman; July 19, Eli C. Green ; Aug. 16, Samuel F. Dexter, (honorary member.) 1853— Dec. 5, Edwin Webster, (honorary member.) 1854— Jan. 16, Ridley Cole, Nehemiah Mason, (died July 20,1856 ;) Feb. 20, W. Irving Tillotson; May 1, Eli S. Green, (dead); Dec. 18, Charles E. Luce. 1855— May 21, Horace Plumb; Sept. 3, Prof. Ambrose P. Kelsey; Sept. 17, Grove W. Bagg, Hon. Justus Childs, (died May 24,1868,) Isaac T. Doolittle, (died Nov. 24,1864,) C. O. Allen, R. W. Miller; Oct. 15, Robert W. Seaton. Hon. Justus Childs was born in Connecticut, September 21, 1809, and came to Paris about the year 1831. He resided east of Cassville on the stone road, and was an extensive farmer—his farm being one of the "mo“el farms" i” town. He was a popular man in town, and filled many offices of trust and responsibility. He was elected Supervisor in 1857, and was Member of Assembly in 1843-44. He was a prominent Freemason, "ma“e" i” Sauquoit Lodge, No. 150, F. and A. M., in 1855. He was one of the prime movers in building the stone road which extended from Winfield north, over Babcock Hill and along down past his residence into the Valley, uniting with the plank road near the old Budlong gristmill, above Clayville. The plank road was built in 1847-48, extending south from Utica over Cemetery Hill and to Washington Mills, and up the Sauquoit Valley through Cassville, and thence to Bridgewater. The stone road was made with two parallel strips of flagging stone about sixteen inches wide, laid down at a distance from each other that would enable the wheels of a wagon to travel thereon, the intervening space whereon the horse traveled being "ma“adamized." T”e Stone Road Company was organized June 23, 1849, at the house of James Johnson, in Bridgewater, with the following Board of Directors: Newton Wilcox, Hon. Peleg B. Babcock, Frederick S. Savage, Hon. Justus Childs and Zebina Johnson. The toll-gates were removed a few years since, and the road thrown open to the public. He died May 24, 1868, at the age of 59. His obituary, in the Utica Observer, says: "He“was gifted with superior intelligence and an excellent constitution; and was characterized by active habits and large business capacity, with marked public spirit. Always one of the most prominent citizens of his town, he was repeatedly its Supervisor, and also represented his district in the State Assembly. In all the relations of life, as well as in an official capacity, his conduct was distinguished by integrity, conscientiousness and good judgment, and his death will be lamented by all who knew him. He leaves a large family, among whom are Messrs. J. M. and W. B. Childs, of Utica, and a large circle of friends, to mourn his loss." 1856— March 20, T. P.
