Eeligious Societies. — The first church edifice in the state north of the Mohawk, was erected in Martinsburgh.
in 1806, chiefly through the aid of Gen. Martin, who de- frayed the principal share of the cost, and sold out pews to families as opportunities offerred. The first Presbyterian society of Martinsburgh, was formed Dec. 9, 1810, the ori- ginal trustees being Walter Martin, Levi Adams, John McCollister, Chillus Doty, Chester Shumway, Nathan Cheney, Elizur Stephens, Bphraim Luce and Barnab
...as Yale. The society began with forty-seven members. The edifice was painted by subscription, and furnished by Gen. Martin with a bell in 1827 in return for the compliment of naming the town after him. It was thoroughly repaired in 1832, fur- nished with an organ in 1838, again repaired in 1853, and burned by lightning, on the morning of Aug. 1, 1854.
The first bell weighed alone about 800 lbs. and cost $400.
It was broken in the fire, and the old metal exchanged in part for the present one, which weighs (with the yoke) 1556 lbs.
