Methodist Church , Southport, CT

"Methodism, a Christian religion that encouraged taking personal responsibility and seeking justice on Earth."
http://washingtonhistoryonline.org/suffrage/People/cblaine.aspx

The Methodist movement was particularly important for its early emphasis on social service and education
http://www.wesleyan.edu/about/uhistory.html

The First Methodist Episcopal Church, South Norwalk had their first service in 1787, but the formal organization did not occur until 1790. Since the organization there have been three additional churches formed from it. They are the Second Methodist Episcopal church at Norwalk, the Third Methodist Episcopal Church at Rowayton, and the Fourth Methodist Episcopal Church at East Norwalk

#015 Methodist Church, Church St, Rose Hill
Subject Southport, Connecticut
Description Photographer: Edward, Clinton or Eugene Hall. Note found with glass plate negative: "The original Methodist church on Church St, S'port." This church was built in 1845. It was sold in 1898 when a new church was built on Pequot Ave (See photos #12 and 13). This original church was cut in half and transported down the present Rose Hill Rd to form two separate buildings. One half was placed just below #72 Rose Hill Rd and the other half was placed in the triangle area where Rose Hill Rd and Main St intersect. House in background right is 155 Rose Hill Rd, which originally had a mansard roof.

"In the village one of the most active, enterprising and noblest hearted men is C. A. Meeker. But for his sagacity, enterprise and generosity, the new M.E Church would hardly have been a possibility at this time. It was he who had the forethought and courage to purchase the site for the new church, on his own responsibility, in order to make certain of securing an advantageous location, a site that is now deemed by many the finest for the purpose. "

The ecclesiastical map of Connecticut in 1818 speaks volumes. It shows that every section of the commonwealth was invaded, that there was scarcely a town without its diverse denominational societies. Dissent could not be said to be sectional, though the river towns and those bordering New York and Rhode Island might be described as centers. The chief value of such a chart is in demonstrating that dissent was politically Republican. By closely comparing this chart with those showing the political strength of the Republican party by towns, it will be seen that in those towns in which dissent flourished, Republicanism advanced until it became the dominant political factor.

The Rev. George Roberts in the home of Thomas Spencer. Rev. Roberts was an assistant of the Rev. Jesse Lee, who had preached the first Methodist sermon in Connecticut in Norwalk on June 7th, 1789.

Sharon, CT
Just across the border in New York the Reverend Ebenezer Knibloe led the Round Top Chapel where several strands of Protestant believers gathered for services. Knibloe, who lived on the Connecticut side of the border, preached for 25 years, was known as a "sound, sensible, sincere man." The first Methodist meeting house was erected on Caulkinstown Road circa 1808, and an imposing red brick church arose at the north end of the green in 1835. The custom of summer camp meeting began in Sharon in 1805. Methodists in Ellsworth originally gathered in the home of Joshua Millard, a native of nearby Cornwall.

The original church was built in 1845 on Rose Hill Road. Both Sarah and Alvin were received in membersip in oct 1845 (curiously Sarah is listed as "of Southport" while Alvin was listed "of Greens Farms") -- both by certificate.

Parsells were not listed until 1869.

The village of Stuyvesant Landing, a station on the Hudson River Railroad, is, as before stated, one of the earliest settled points in the THE TO IVN OF STUYVESANT. 643 town. In early days it bore the name of Kinderhook Landing-. The old, or lower, landing was first improved, but owing to the river form- ing a new channel, the landing place was changed to its present place as far back as 1800. At this lower landing Medad Butler kept an inn, and the firm of Butler & Van Valkenburgh had a store there. But when business was removed to the upper landing, the place lost its prestige, and to-day it is but a cluster of houses. The upper landing is now the seat of business. The first store at this point as far as can be ascertained was kept by Van Valkenburgh & Pruyn, who were succeeded by Alexander McMachem and by Butler & Vosburgh. Vosburgh was heavily interested in real estate, his inter- ests finally passing to Abel S. Peters, one of the leading business men of the section. The present merchants are Henry A. Best, who began as Best & Bray about 1880, but has been alone since 1891 ; E. Murrell, who began before the great fire of 1880 — noted further on — was burned out, rebuilt and continued five years, and was succeeded by Anson Pratt and others to Albert Van Hoesen, who took the business in 1900; Hiram Clapp with a partner, John Albertson, began in 1822 and con- tinued ten years, when he purchased his partner's interest and carried on the business until 1882, when his son Aaron succeeded him until 1889; since that date Edwin W. Clapp has conducted a successful mer- cantile trade at the same location. At one time freight transportation was an important item in the in- dustries of Stuyvesant Landing. In 1816 Abel S. Peters, Walter But- ler and Stephen Wendover owned sloops that made fortnightly trips to New York. About 1836 the " Kinderhook and Stuyvesant Steamboat Association," put the steamboat "United States" into service under the management of Walter Butler. After several years, on account of financial difficulties, the business was suspended. Wendover & Son had a line of propellers about 18G0 and later, but their boats were sold to the government during the Civil war, and barges were employed in their stead. In 1868 Henry A. Best & Co. succeeded to Wendover's businets and are still interested in it, although it is much reduced in volume. Captain Davis was in the business from 1833 to as late as 1880. In 1870 thepropellor " Andrew Harder " was used as afreighter, and other boats, running to New York, were the " Walter Brett," the " Escort " (burned about two years ago), and the " Charlotte Vander- bilt. 644 COLUMBIA COUNTY AT THE END OF THE CENTURY. But little manufacturing has been done here. In 1853 Backus, Smith & Sargent started a stove foundry on the dock, and later erected a larger foundry. In 1878 the works passed to the possession of the " Stuy vesant Stove Company," an incorporated body, who did a suc- cessful business until 1880 when the disastrous fire of that year swept the works away and they were not rebuilt The steam flouring mills, built by Peter and Thomas Houghtaling and George B. Shultz in 1856, were burned in 1880 when in the pos- session of Best & Wilcox.

 

The father died the following year, and the children then looked to the mother for guidance until 1874, when she too, passed away.

Felix Neider was very young when he was thrown upon his own resources, but previous to this had enjoyed a few years in the public schools of Manitowoc. At the age of twelve years he began to make his own way in the world, and in 1866 shipped as boy on the schooner Addie, with Captain Davis, going the next spring on the schooner Gazine, and closing the season on the barge Plymouth Rock.

Charles H. Alvord is a namesake of his father's two brothers, Charles and Hubbell
Alvord, the former the founder of the Excelsior Needle Company of Torrington, out
of which developed the present Torrington company. Mr. Alvord has also devoted the
greater part of his life to manufacturing interests, but his early training was that of
the farm, as he remained upon the homestead until he was twenty years of age. When
but fifteen years of age, owing to his father's demise, he took charge of the operation
of the place and in the management of the farm demonstrated the possession of judgment
and exec\itive ability beyond his years. His education was largely acquired in the
district schools but he was for a time a student in a business college in Hartford. In
1883 the home farm near Bolton was sold and the family removed to Torrington, where
he became associated with his brother-in-law in a Hour, feed and grain business conducted
under the name of Talcott & Alvord. After several years in mercantile and
manufacturing life Mr. Alvord in 1896 became associated w'ith the Hendey Machine Company
as secretary. Eleven years later, or in 1907, he was elected to the position of vice
president and general manager and has since devoted his time and energy to the work of
carrying on the business founded by Henry .1. Hendey, his father-in-law. He is also
identified with other interests, being a director of the Torrington National Bank and a
director of the Manufacturers' Association of Connecticut.
