Historical Sketch of Brewster 

By Laura Voris Bailey 

The section now known as South 

east, was at one time Included as part 

of Dutchess County, and was called 

at different times South Ward, South 

Precinct, South East District. It was 

situated In a strip of territory claim 

ed by Connecticut, designated as "The 

Oblong" and afterward as the "Equiv 

alent Lands". "The Oblong" became 

a fruitful source of ceaseless conten 

tion and countless controversies. On 

October 28, 1664, an agreement was 

made whereby the boundaries between 

New York and Connecticut were fixed 

at twenty miles east of the Hudson 

River. This arrangement was re 

sponsible for "The Oblong" which 

both factions craved, but Connecticut 

desired most. Controversy continued, 

and It is strange to learn that the 

final settlement to establish the 

boundary line between New York and 

Connecticut was not agreed upon un 

til 1860. All through the years the 

lands of "The Oblong" were open to 

purchasers with Indisputable title 

guarantees, a fact which attracted 

many settlers from the New England 

Colonies. 

Southeast Set Up In 1796 

The following is a paragraph taken 

from an Act of Legislature passed 

March 17, 1795: Quote: "Be enacted 

by the People of the State of New 

York, represented In Senate and As 

sembly: That all those parts of Pred- 

erickstown and Southeast Precinct 

lying east of said line (referring to 

the line defining the Town of Carmel) 

of Philllpse's Long Lot, lying six miles 

from the north bounds of Westches 

ter County, and running 87 degrees, 

30 minutes east, and continued to the 

Stale of Connecticut, shall be erected 

into a separate Town by the name of 

Southeast, and the first Town Meet 

ing of said Town of Southeast, shall 

be held at the dwelling house of Zal- 

mon Sanford in the town of South 

east;" end quote. Another paragraph 

In the act provided that: quote "the 

first regular Town Meeting of said 

Town of Southeast shall be held the 

first Tuesday in April 1796" end quote. 

Thus the Town of Southeast came into 

Independent existence, however, the 

town continued as part of Dutchess 

County until Putnam was separated 

from Dutchess and was erected as an 

independent county, by act of Legis 

lature on June 13, 1812. 

The home of Zalmon Sanford stood 

at the meeting of three roads at the 

foot of Brewster Hill. As this house 

was located In approximately the cen 

ter of the township, the name of the 

meeting place became Southeast Cen 

tre: 

Brewster Hill Road 

Roads were rough, but they all lead 

to or from Zalmon Sanford's house. 

These roads were broken out as links 

between the isolated homes of the set 

tlers, and generally were very tortu 

ous. Very little road-mileage as is 

now known as Routes 6 and 22, was 

in existence. There was a road con 

necting PeekskUl and Danbury, an 

other leading from White Plains thru 

Somers to Pawling, but not Jollow- 

ing for many miles the present high 

ways. General Washington travelled 

over many weary miles of these old 

roads during his campaign in the 

Revolution. Owing to various reasons, 

such as abandonment of original home 

sites, condemnation and confiscation 

of lands for railroad right-of-way, 

and flooding of much acreage for stor 

age reservoirs for water supply for 

New York City, most of these old 

roads have disappeared. However, 

there is one stretch of road leading 

from the Township of Patterson, over 

Brewster Hill, through Southeast Cen 

ter, out through Sodom, along the 

Croton River, following All View Ave 

nue, over Turk Hill Road to the home 

of Samuel Field, which has preserved 

its original route. 

Field Homestead, 1732-1943 

Of the many early settlers who 

came to Southeast from the New Eng 

land Colonies, the earliest definite 

knowledge is of Samuel Field, who be 

came owner of Lot No. 5 in "The Ob 

long" in 1732, and his daughter, Jane, 

is said to have been the first white 

child born in Southeast. This Field 

homestead is the one original pur 

chase to have continued in the same 

family for the greatest number of 

years, having been retained from 1732 

until 1943. 

Among the other families who came 

as settlers about the same time as 

Samuel Field were those of Paddock, 

Crane. Barnum, Hall, Crosby, Howes, 

Rockwell, Foster, Haviland, Penny, 

Kent, Sears, Bailey. DeForest. Ryder 

and Townsend. In the late 1790'sand 

early 1800's came the Brewster, Meade, 

Van Scoy, Brush, Sherwood. Doane 

and other families. It is interesting 

to note that the Paddocks, Ryders and 

Brewsters are the only families now 

living on at least a part of the orig 

inal purchase. 

Along the road mentioned, little 

hamlets soon were established con 

sisting of a few dwellings, perhaps a 

church, a school, a general store, and 

The Brewster Standard 

Meanwhile the community was en 

larging. Mr. Borden realized that a 

growing village needed a newspaper. | 

This he provided. In May 1877, Mr. 

E W. Addis became the Managing Ed- 

lem Railroad would continue its rails itor, and in 1880 purchased the pa- 

/ 

to Pawling in the near future. This 

became an established fact in 1849. 

Mr. Walter F. Brewster opened and 

mined the iron pits in the rear of 

the present Brewster House. The ore 

was shipped via the Harlem R. R. He 

was engaged in building, and large 

quantities of material were shipped, 

billed to Brewster's Station for lack 

of better designation. Hence it seems 

by this means the name of "Brew 

ster" was established. The land on 

which the station was built was ced 

ed by Mr. A. B. Marvin, who had 

long owned extensive acreage, and had 

built the house which still stands 

nestled in the hill on the west side 

of the railroad, in 1830. However, Mr. 

Brewster furnished the material and 

labor and gave the passenger and 

freight stations. 

About this time, the present Main 

Street was opened to provide facili 

ties for trie stage line of Crosby and 

DeForest operating between Danbury 

and Brewster to accommodate those 

wishing railroad transportation. This 

stage line had operated between Dan 

bury and Croton Falls previously to 

the extension of the railroad. 

Of course there were many houses 

in the village before this time, but 

the first new one built after the name 

of Brewster had been acquired, was 

erected by Mr. Brewster, and is now 

the home of Dr. Vanderburgh. Mr. 

Brewster lived there a short time, four 

or five years. Meanwhile he built the 

lovely Colonial mansion now the 

home of the Knights of Columbus. It 

is not known whether or not he ever 

lived there. 

In 1850 he built the Brewster House 

which was operated by Mr. W. T. Ga 

ming, a showman and druggist. Later 

he built the "brick blocks" on either 

side of the Brewster House. In all he 

built about fifty to sixty houses and 

other buildings. 

The first store was built by Edward 

Howes about on the spot where the 

Diner stands, and was opened for 

business in 1850, and operated by J. 

Fowler Frost, who came from Purdy's 

Station. He continued in business for 

five years, then sold out to Mr. Brew 

ster. 

Mills and Factories 

The section of the village bordering 

on "The Brook", Just across the high 

way from the site of the present First 

National Bank, and now owned by 

the Department of Water Supply of 

New York City, was once the scene of 

much industrial activity. Mr. A. B. 

Marvin, who owned acreage, had built 

and operated mills on this property 

before 1850. 

In 1859 a wool-hat factory was 

started by William Waring, probably 

as a side issue of his hat manufactur 

ing in Yonkers, N. Y. This building 

was burned and in 1874 a new firm 

consisting of Smith Hunt, Col. Steph 

en Baker and James A. Peck, (grand 

father of Mrs. Howard Wheeler), re 

vived the hnt-makinn business in the 

old grist mill which had been operat 

ed formely by A. B. Marvin. 

At this period, there were also lum 

ber yards operated by Jarvis I. 

Howes in the same vicinity. 

In the Brewster Public Library may 

be seen a panorama photograph taken 

December 12, 1870, which shows that 

the mills, factories and lumber yards 

were quite extensive for those days. 

All these buildings were later de 

stroyed by a devastating fire of in 

cendiary origin. 

Borden Milk Factory 

On January 28, 1864, the Borden 

Condensed Milk Company was incor 

porated and started operating in the 

eastern part of the village. This en 

terprise proved to be one of the great 

est boons to mankind, for Oall Bor 

den, founder^ labored ceaselessly and 

untiringly to find a method of pro 

cessing and preserving fluid milk in 

a condensed form. His efforts were 

finally crowned with success. Little 

change has been made in the method 

of condensation and preservation, but 

the form of packaging has greatly im 

proved. From this humble beginning 

the Borden Company has grown and 

expanded, till Borden Products are 

obtainable in every State. The con- 

densory furnished employment to 

scores of people, both women and 

men, and was a source of substantial 

Income to the farmers for miles a- 

round. When the, Department of Wa 

ter Supply of the City of New York 

began condemnation proceedings, the 

best pasturage was confiscated and 

the milk producing business declined 

rapidly and the old factory was closed 

and dismantled. However, there are 

scores of Borden plants from coast to 

coast, and from border to border. 

On the death of Mr. Gall Borden, 

his son, John O. Borden, continued to 

manage the business. John O. Borden 

was a very liberal man. and through 

his benefactions aided substantially in 

many projects. The erecting of the 

first Town Hall, the Baptist Church, 

a public school, the organization of a 

per, changed its name to "The Brew 

ster Standard" and continued its pub 

lication until his death in 1922. 

Public Schools 

Education was not neglected. The 

first schoolhou.se of which there is 

any record—a little red schoolhouse— 

was built near the Methodist Church, 

near the present Eaton-Kelley loca 

tion. With the general movement 

toward the railroad station, a new 

schoolhouse, two stories high, was 

built a few hundred feet east of the 

present Lobdell home, date not avail 

able. As the school population in 

creased, there was need of a larger 

building. A site was obtained—a 

large lot—on the corner of Park St. 

and Marvin Ave, and a new and much 

larger school was built about 1873. In 

this undertaking the District wias 

generously aided by J. O. Borden. Mr. 

Borden's theories on education were 

far in advance of the time. He pro 

vided a covered play pavilion, and for 

those times, expensive and extensive 

athletic recreation equipment. More 

land condemnation proceedings by 

New York City, at length, confiscated 

the grounds and buildings. A larger 

school was erected on part of the 

grounds where the present High 

School is located and opened in 1895. 

This was destroyed by fire. The pres 

ent fine High School was opened in 

1927. 

Library at Mllltown 

Southeast organized a Library as 

early as 1825 known as Southeast Li 

brary, later as Columbian Library. 

This Library was kept at Asa Ray 

mond's general store at Mllltown, near 

the school, for many years and was 

finally sold at auction (date unknown)

Brewster Public Library 

A Public Library was organized in 

1900, and housed In the second floor 

above the store now occupied by Mr. 

Mergardt. In 1930. the present grac 

ious home of the Library was thrown 

open to the public due in great meas 

ure to the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. 

Andrew Ferris, who donated the lot 

and substantial financial assistance. 

Five Churches Built 

The Methodist Church was the first 

society to build a church in .the vil 

lage, in 1837, at a cost of $1,000, meet 

ing having previously been held at the 

home of Zalmon Sanford, mentioned 

before. This church was located on 

the site now occupied by Eaton-Kel 

ley, and was named the Heddlngvllle 

M. E Church In honor of Bishop 

Heddlng. Later the building was re 

moved to Brewster and now houses the 

A & P and other stores. The new 

church was built in 1863, at a cost of 

$16,000, of which sum, Mr. Daniel 

Drew and his family contributed one- 

half. It was named The First M. E. 

Church of Southeast by act of Legis 

lature in 1875. 

The First Baptist Church was dedi 

cated on December 28, 1871, at the cost 

of $15,000. the larger part of the 

amount having been contributed by 

Mr. John G. Borden. 

The first services of St Andrew's 

Eplsconal Church were held in the 

Town Hall in 1872. The first church 

was dedicated in 1881. The bell which 

hung in the steeple was one taken 

from the Hudson River Liner Dean 

Richmond, and was given by Mr. 

Daniel Drew. On June 13, 1901, a 

beautiful stone church was dedicated, 

made possible through the munificent 

eift of Mr. Seth B. Howes. On July 

5, of the same year, the church was 

destroyed by fire. Work of rebuilding 

was begun immediately, and the new 

church was consecrated in 1903. 

After meeting for years in the homes 

of members, the Roman Catholic 

Church built its first simple frame 

building on Prospect St. in 1870. This 

was supDlanted in 1915 by the present 

stone edifice. 

Although the Presbyterian Church 

was ttie last to erect a home in the 

villncp. it has a significant history. It 

is the lineal successor to the oldest 

church In the county, which was a 

little log bulldins, on land formerly 

owned by James Barnes, on the north 

ern stretch of Brewster Hill Road. 

Built in 1745. It was later replaced in 

Doanesburg in 1793. and named the 

Southeast Presbyterian Church. Regu 

lar services are not held there now, 

but once a year this beautiful, state 

ly edifice opens wide its doors wel 

coming all to its Annual Homecominc 

Service. The Second Presbyterian 

Church was ooened in Southeast Cen 

ter (Sodom) in 1854. Following the 

trend of population, the present 

church was opened for service in 

June 1883. 

Through the years chic affairs were 

conducted in the name of the Town 

of Southeast. Some departments still 

retain that status. The Village of 

Brewster, however, was incorporated 

into a political entitv in 1894. 

The life and history of Brewster is 

so interwoven with and denendent 

uoon that of "Old Southeast" that 

there are many itpms worthy of men 

tion, but not presented here in chron 

ological order; just odds and ends of 

memorabilia gleaned here and there. 

It is sometimes difficult in writing a 

sketch to separate and adeouatelv

reality. Should any discrepancies oc

BREWSTER. WELL BEGUN 

The "Historical Sketch of Brewster." a paper prepared by Mrs. 

Laura Voris Bailey for the meeting of Enoch Crosby Chapter. D. A. 

R., held at the home of Mrs. £lbro Travis, March 13, 1944, has 

given pleasure to many people who enjoy recalling events, places and 

people known to their forbears and in a measure to them. Some readers 

have expressed their appreciation to Mrs. Bailey and to The 

Standard and requested reprints of the sketch. So to give readers easy 

access to the article it is reprinted in this issue on page 2. 

Many of the photographs of points of interest in the village 

displayed at the D. A. R. meeting were published in this newspaper 

in 1896 with several biographical sketches of business and professional 

men and organizations of the village. Members of the D. A. R-. 

Brewster Public Library and several homes in the village have copies 

of the maps, photos and other records that will assist one who takes 

up the task of rounding out into a history the piece Mrs. Bailey properly 

calls a sketch. Mrs. Bailey spent many weeks collecting material 

through reading and interviews before selecting what seemed to point 

up the more important phases of life in Brewster, the Hub of the 

Harlem Valley. The fact that her efforts have stimulated others to 

look at the records of the past is a tribute to her work and to the in 

fluence of the D. A. R. in helping to preserve some of the interesting 

items left by men and women who were devoted to building a community 

that attracts newcomers of every walk of life. 

Looking ahead for men to carry on in strengthening the homefront 

we must scan the honor roll listing more than 500 men fighting 

for a better way of life than that which forced them to sacrifices 

few can appreciate. A better Brewster will come from the men who 

face the burdens of leadership in the enterprises needed to make the 

hub the place they love to call home. 

EASTER ASSURANCE 

By the Rt. Rev. Henry St. George Tucker 

Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church 

At a time when so many of our dear ones are giving their lives 

in defense of a righteous cause, the Easter assurance that death is the 

entrance into a richer, more abundant life with the Risen Christ, 

illumines grief with the radiant light of faith. 

Easter brings the further assurance that their sacrifice for a righttous 

cause was not in vain. By their death they open a door of opportunity. 

Their death is a challenge to us to pass through that door 

and by our effort and sacrifice convert the opportunity into a reality. 

Their passing is a summons to us to press forward towards the goal 

to which they have opened the way. 

To us. Easter brings a challenge from those heroes of the faith 

who have followed Jesus along the path of sacrifice. Let us also, 

seeing that we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, 

lay aside every weight and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and 

let us run with patience the race that is set before us. Easter assures 

us that those who dedicate themselves in response to this challenge 

will bring nearer the time when the kingdoms of this world shall have 

become the Kingdom of the God of righteousness, freedom, and love. 

TOLLS IN WESTCHESTER 

From all the arguments for and against the Westchester County 

parkway toll bill, which has been passed by the Legislature and is 

awaiting action of the Governor, there emerges one outstanding fact: 

Westchester alone, of all the counties in the State, built numerous 

and costly arterial parkways at its own expense, while other counties 

subsequently obtained parkways at State expense. 

This left Westchester with a parkway debt of $64,000,000, 

which taxpayers of the county must continue to amortize for many 

years unless tolls are levied for the purpose. Such a burden on local 

real estate is unfair, it is argued, because 85 per cent of the motorists 

using the parkways are residents of other areas. 

Westchester is particularly irked because the near-by Henry Hudson 

and Merritt Parkways are being financed through tolls paid in 

part by Westchester residents; also because Westchester has contributed 

$4,300,000 a year in gasoline taxes to the State and received rebates 

of $82,000—the lowest percentage granted to any county. 

Efrort? by Westchester to obtain financial relief directly from 

the State failed, due to a number of political and economic obstacles, 

so the toll plan was advanced as an alternative. There is considerable 

danger in the plan if it sets a precedent for widespread tolls elsewhere. 

But Westchester has an unusual case, and a precedent for correctional 

tolls should not necessarily lead to indiscriminate tolls.—The New 

York Times.

Town of Kent 

keepsie and took up the profession of 

law, received honors from Harvard 

and Dartmouth, occupied an instruc 

tor's chair in Columbia University, 

and in 1804 was appointed to the Su 

preme Court. Later he was withdrawn 

and appointed Chancellor In 1814. The 

various and learned decisions handed 

down by him have given him fame. It 

has been said that Kent was to the 

United States what Blackstone was to 

Britain. Chancellor Kent was easily 

Southeast's most honored son. His 

memory is honored by a bust in the 

Hall of Fame at New York University. 

Very well celebrated was a grand 

son of the Rev. Ellsha Kent, Ellsha 

Kent Kane, .the well-known Arctic ex 

plorer. 

Fannie Crosby 

Near the birthplace of Chancellor 

Kent, Fannie Crosby, familiarly known 

as the "blind hymn writer," was born 

After receiving her own education 

she devoted most of her endeavors to 

teaching others who were afflicted as 

she was. She also founded a school 

for the education of the blind in New 

Jersey. Miss Crosby wrote more than 

a thousand hymns. At some of the 

ln-gatherings at the "Old Southeast 

Church" a half-hour of song service 

was conducted before the regular serv 

ice, the hymns of Fanny Crosby being 

sung. 

In her memoirs, Fanny Crosby 

speaks of seeing Daniel Drew passing 

her home frequently, and once he 

brought her a little new-born lamb 

to comfort her for one she had lost. 

She said that Mr. Drew frequently 

drove large flocks of sheep and herds 

of cattle past on his way to markets 

in New York. 

Revolutionary Hero 

Enoch Crosby was not a native son 

of Southeast, but was. brought by his 

parents to Putnam County in 1753, at 

the age of three. It is a matter of 

record that his parents lived in South 

east at different intervals. Enoch was 

working in Danbury, Conn., when the 

Revolution began, enlisted, and rend 

ered outstanding service to his coun 

try. He was the hero of J. Fenlmore 

Cooper's novel, "The Spy". After the 

close of the Revolutionary War, he 

purchased a farm In the western part 

of the Town of Southeast and lived 

there the remainder of his life. He 

served as Supervisor of this town 

1812-1813. 

Southeast loaned many of her sons 

to the several wars in which our coun 

try has been engaged. The one to 

attain greatest prominence was Gen 

eral Darius Couch, who was bora In 

Milltown. General Couch served In 

the War Between the States, having 

commanded the 2nd Army Corps of 

the Army of the Potomac. 

Home of the Circus 

Earl Chapln May in his fascinating 

•book "From Rome to Ringling" said: 

edge of a Postmaster is established 

when Mr. A. F. Lobdell was ap 

pointed by President Lincoln In 1883. 

Mr. Lobdell served in this capacity 

under Presidents Lincoln, Grant, 

Hayes, Garfield and Arthur, retiring 

in 1887. Mr. Lobdell had opened a 

store in 1860. This business enlarged 

and continued to serve its customers 

until 1933 at which time Mr. A. F. 

Lobdell, Jr., retired, and entered the 

banking business in the Putnam 

County Savings Bank, an institution 

which Mr. A. F. Lobdell had been 

instrumental In organizing, and which 

has continued prosperously until to 

day. The store of A. F. Lobdell was 

the only mercantile house to engage 

In the same business over the longest 

duration, In the same family. 

Incidentally, Miss Marjorie Addis 

and Mr. F. S. Hall have the distinc 

tion of "carrying on" In the business 

of their respective fathers. 

Captain Moore 

Captain S. G. Moore, while not a 

native of Southeast, spent much of 

his life here, having married a South 

east girl, Miss Sarah Baldwin. Capt. 

Moore in early life was well launch 

ed as a printer, having served his ap 

prenticeship in that vocation, and was 

later in the employ of Harper Broth 

ers. Bora at Sag Harbor, L. I., prob 

ably the sea was in his blood. Indoor 

life was not to his liking for he join

After sailing the "Seven Seas" till

ally persuaded by the American Board 

of Foreign Missions to take command 

of the missionary packet "The Morn 

ing Star," launched at Boston, Mass., 

and visited many of the islands in 

the Sandwich group.' "The Morning 

Star" was built by voluntary contri 

butions of those interested in mission 

ary work. Certificates of stock were 

issued to all contributors. The only 

certificate held in this vicinity was 

held by Mrs. Pauline Crosby, grand 

mother of Mayor Wells. A book en 

titled ."The Morning Star," written by 

Mrs. Jane S. Warren, pays the fol 

lowing tribute to Capt. Moore: "Here 

we must take leave of Capt Moore, 

who now relinquished the command

too many American Captains. To the

they taught. He will ever retain their 

grateful remembrances and cordial es

Albany, Feb. 24—Mail distribution of 

1943 New York State personal income 

tax forms, due April 15, was begun to 

day when the Department of Taxation 

and Finance released the first of sev 

eral million blanks, it was the big 

gest mailing operation In the history 

of the department 

Most taxpayers will have their 

choice of two forms in making out 

their returns for 1043: 

1—Form 201, which will be received 

through the mail by every taxpayer 

who filed a return last year. This is 

the regular six-page form, similar to 

last year's blank, and may be used 

by any taxpayer. 

2—Optional Form 200, which will be 

available at all offices of the Depart 

ment of Taxation and Finance, and 

at all banks in the State. This Is the 

new single-page, simplified return, 

which may be used to report income 

from only wages, salaries, commissions, 

pensions, Interest, dividends, partner 

ships, estates, or trusts. It is esti 

mated about two-thirds of the State's 

personal Income taxpayers qualify for 

its use, which is entirely optional. 

Rollln Browne, president of the State 

Tax Commission, pointed out that 

there would be no direct mall distri 

bution of the new forms because they 

could not be printed in time for the 

enormous job of preparation for mail 

ing—folding, inserting and addressing 

of envelopes. 

Neither form contains any provision 

for or reference to the 25 per cent 

reduction in tax, but Commissioner 

Browne said this would present "ho 

difficulty. The taxpayer will simply 

figure his income tax in the usual 

manner, he explained, and then reduce 

the tax by one-fourth. The reduction 

does not apply to the unincorporated 

business tax. 

Because of the higher State exemp 

tions, not every Federal income tax 

payer will be required to file a New 

York return. Under the New York 

law, you are required to file a State 

return if you are single and had net 

Income of $1,000 or more in 1043; if 

you are married and had joint net in 

come of $2,500 or more, or, if your 

gross Income was $5,000 or more. 

It was emphasized that, in the case 

of taxpayers who reside in the State, 

none of the State income tax has been 

withheld at the source. The State 

tax is not deducted from wages or sal 

aries of residents.
