Con't Royal W. Clinton was one of the most prominent citizens in Newark Valley in its early times. He was a railroad commissioner for the bonding of the town for the construction of the Southern Central Railroad. In 1873 he was made one of the directors of the company. Mr. Clinton was a Republican and held various town offices. One-fourth of the cost of the present Methodist Church was contributed by him. For forty years he was superintendent of the Sunday School of the church. In 1877, Mr. Clinton proposed that school dis- tricts numbers 2 and 14 unite in a union graded school district. He wanted the children of the community to have a chance for proper educational facilities. The two districts purchased a site for a school building for Sl,700. Mr. Clinton built at his own expense the brick school building, which is now the Municipal Building. Many young men and wo- men were graduated from this school. The building is a form of memorial to Mr. Clinton, who built it. William Lincoln was the first native representa- tive in Congress from this town. Mr. Lincoln was a man of great executive ability and was prominent in the affairs of his county and state. He was a mer- chant and a manufacturer of leather. Colonel Elijah Belcher a once distinguished citizen marshalled the Fourth of July parapes and Sunday School celebrations, which were held in Newark Valley. ' In 1800, Enos Slosson Kept the first tavern and store in the town. A lodge of the Nlndependent Order of Good Templaru was organized July 21, 1876. Lodge number 614 F. and A. M. was chartered June 26, 1866. In 1869 the trout ponds in Newark Valley were started. The ponds were open for the visitors from other towns June 6, 1372. There was plenty of water in the ponds from springs, and the ponds were well stocked with trout. Many excursion parties and visitors from all parts of the state came here to visit the ponds. In 1878 there was a population of about 800 in Newark Valley. There were three churohs, two hotels, a grist mill, a tannery, two steam mills, eight genuine stores, one drug store, four blacksmith shops, three carriage shops, and three harness shops. In those days there was a need for blacksmiths and carriage shops, but today four garages are needed to take the place of them. Newark Valley has grown in population, and now numbers 1,000 inhabitants. ' Wilma Saddlemire
