With the destruction of the mills other interests passed away, and now but very little remains to indicate its former prosperity. There are a small store, a post-office, and a few mechanic shops. A mile and a half down the creek is the hamlet of MALDEN BRIDGE. Here are the extensive Peaslee paper-mills and other manufacturing enterprises. The place is pleasantly located on both sides of the stream, and contains a few hundred inhabitants. Among other early settlers were James Van Valkenburgh, Jo...sephus Johnson, Jeremiah Van Hoesen, Daniel Haywood, Isaac Van Ness, Amos Irish, John W. and Levi Pitts, Ransom Pago, Samuel Crandcll, Jason Lister, and J. Pratt. On the Waterman Lippitt place, Roswull Holdridge had a tavern, in which was opened the first post-office in town, about 1810. This was removed to Chatham. Afterwards a new office w;is established at Maiden Bridge, which has • been kept by Loren Van Valkenburgh and others, and is at present in charge of Nicholas Vcddcr. Leniah Walker opened a pioneer tavern in the building at present occupied for this purpose.
