The first school in the settlement was taught by Grurdon Balcom, the next by Wesley Randall. The first minister of the gospel who preached in this set- tlement was Elder Randall, a Methodist and a very 282 PIONEER HISTORY good man. Dr. Theophilus Randall was the first physician. In the fall of 1818 I went to Oneida comity, and learned the art of distilling whisky, which at this time was a very popular business. My mother died while I was there, which nearly broke up our home circle, and which w...as to me particularly, a cause of great sorrow. I returned home in June following and found my father's family, as I expected, in a very lonely con- dition. I went to work with my father and brothers, clearing land and securing our crops. When that was done, I went back to Verona and worked in a distillery another winter. Next spring I returned and worked in Whitney' s distillery in Rochester, and the fall after I went to Toronto, in Canada, and erect- ed the first steam distillery ever erected in Canada, which at that time was one of the curiosities of the age.
