Dim HISTORY OF THE ENFIELD VALLEY GRANGE #295 On the cold and stormy night of February 4, 1875 fourteen men with their wives and four single men met at the residence of John Theall and directed by Jesse Lyon, Deputy of Schuyler County organized the Enfield Valley Grange #295. There were thirty- two charter members and the charter is dated April 30, 1875. The following persons were elected to fill the offices. Master James M. Lanning,Overseer Amas F. Curry, Lecturer Seth R. Harvey, Steward Simeon Rolfe, Assistant Steward William Cox, Chaplain Marenas S. Pinckney, Treasurer Isaac H. Newman, Secretary John H. Theall, Gatekeeper William Tucker, Ceres Mrs. Susan Rumsey, Pomona Mrs. Sarah Theall, Flora Mrs. Luanna Rolfe, Lady Assistant Steward Mrs. Jennie Rolfe. Enfield Valley Grange was the seventh grange to be organized in Tompkins County. It was organized for financial and social reasons. Financially it helped the farmers by getting cheaper rates for their seed and fertilizer by buying in larger bulks. Socially they had dish to pass dinners after which they played games, danced or practiced for the amateur plays they used to put on for entertainment and money from the price they charged to see the play. They also held public dances as well as birthday parties, etc. The next meeting, February 16, 1875, and the meetings thereafter until January, 1925, were held in Wortman's Hall (over the present Newhart home in Enfield Center). The Grange could not continue there for it was condemned for lack of fire exits. From January 13, 1925 Grange meetings were held in the basement of the Enfield Methodist Church until the present Grange Hall was ready for occupancy in August of 1926. • Following is a quotation from the installation ode: "The order of Patrons of Husbandry is the only association whose teachings accompany its members in their daily pursuits. They form part of the farmer's life. They do not call him from work, but furnish recreation and education in his daily duties". For example we found the following descriptions that took place at various meetings throughout the years: the price of grass seed, cow testing by Farm Bureau manager, host for Farmers Institutes several different years, prices of American Wire Fencing, buying cement by the carload for 72 cents per sack with a 10 cent rebate on the saic, styles and prices of chairs, grafting and planting trees, the outlook for rented farms, drilling buckwheat and sowing winter wheat, wellknown speakers on subjects of particular interest to granges. Thus the Grange fulfilled the precepts of its order by community service and legislative suggestions. The fiftieth anniversary was held in the Enfield Methodist Church on the evening of April 15, 1925 with three hundred Grangers and guests present for the supper and program. Hazel Rumsey, Worthy Master, presided. There were five charter members present, namely, William Tucker, Susan Rumsey, Harriet Harvey, Alnima Lanning and Mrs. Simeon Rolfe. The address was given by N.Y. State Master, Silas L. Strivings. Probably one of the most active times was when a decision was made to build the Grange Hall when Hazel Rumsey was Master. Committees were formed to find a location and purchase the land which was the present site obtained from Harry Willis for one hundred twenty-five dollars. A building committee, consisting of Harvey Stevenson, Emmett Tucker, William • Jones, Jr. and Henry Rothermich, was appointed with full power to build a hall. The next step was the financial backing which consisted of donations of labor -4- and money from members and friends. plus loans from members and finally a bank mortgage of $3,500 after the Grange became incorporated on March 4, 1926. After the completion of the building, it was dedicated August 24, 1926 when Robert • Hubbell was Master. Dinner was served to approximately five hundred guests and six hundred attended the dedication program where the principal speaker was Silas L. Strivings, Master of the N.Y. State Granges. A Juvenile Grange was organized on June 14, 1927 by Mrs. Emma Jerome, State Juve- nile Deputy. There were eighteen charter members. The first officers of the Juvenile Grange were Master Ruth Rothermich, Overseer Lawrence Thall, Steward Harold Laue, Assistant Steward Robert Stevenson, Chaplain Helen Wilson, Secretary Donald Ricker, Treasurer Doris Hansen, Lecturer Elizabeth Stevenson, Gatekeeyer Harold Laaken, Ceres Charlotte Tucker, Pomona Alice Riker, Flora Evelyn Ervay, Lady Assistant Steward Dorothea Updike, Juvenile Matron Martha Bock. Later Mrs. Neva Laue was Matron for fifteen years. About one hundred fifty people attended the sixtieth anniversary celebration held in the Grange Hall on May 28, 1935. Worthy Master Leon Rothermich presided. Fred D. Rumsey read an essay written by the first Master, James M. Lanning, as he left the chair after having served two years. Fred Freestone was the main speaker of the evening. On February 17, 1940 Enfield Valley Grange celebrated their sixty-fifth anniversary with Past State Master, Raymond Cooper as speaker of the evening. Seventy-five members were present including four descendants of the first officers of the Grange. At last the time came when the final debt was paid. It was celebrated by the burning of the mortgage in the presence of one hundred members and guests on April 22, 1946. The climax of the occasion was reached when the Worthy Master, Isabella Bohach • said "The mortgage has been burned." She closed the ceremony with the following quota- tion "Patrons, this evening marks the passing of another milestone in our Grange History. So tonight, we have the honor and privilege of burning all evidence of our indebtedness. May this meeting be an inspiration to us for the coming years. We should so live and labor in our time that what comes to us as seed may go on to the next generation as blossoms and then as fruit. That is what is meant by Progress." On April 24, 1950 Enfield Valley Grange celebrated its seventy-fifth anniversary while Roy Linton was Master. A chicken supper followed by an attractive program commemorated the occasion. Henry D. Sherwood, Master of N.Y. State Grange was the speaker. Then twenty-five successful years passed very quickly and it was time for the Grange to commemorate the 100th year Anniversary. This was celebrated on June 8, 1975. There was a delicious dish -to -pass dinner attended by approximately one hundred fifty Grangers and friends. Following the dinner there was a very impressive program of music and songs. The principal speaker was Kermit W. Richardson, National Chaplain from Barre, Vermont. The benediction was given by John Wertis, principal of Enfield School. Throughout the recent past years many are the unsung heroes who have kept the house in order. Many programs and projects such as new improvements, community projects, degree teams and helping in worthy causes have been the order of the day. Among those are the much needed repairs and improvements to the property. The kitchen was remodeled with running hot and cold water, new cupboards and an efficient work table. Just this summer two new stoves have been purchased and installed in the • kitchen. Two bathrooms were installed several years ago. Over the past one hundred and ten years Enfield Valley Grange has led the way for better community spirit and service to humanity. Thus exemplifying the principal "in essentials, unity; in non -essentials liberty and in all things, charity." -5- At present there are sixty-four members of the Enfield Valley Grange #295. Grange meetings are held the second Tuesday of each month at 8 p.m. Following is a list of the current officers: Master Harold Laue, Overseer Andrew Krayniak, Lecturer Eva Krayniak, Steward Robert Carpenter, Assistant Steward Roger Brown, Lady Assistant Steward Florence Laue, Chaplain Mabel Rumsey, Treasurer Leabelle Carpenter, Secretary Helena Schaber, Gatekeeper Raymond Carpenter, Ceres Frances LaBombard, Pomona Beverly Brown, Flora Louise Rumsey. Warena Ramsey ENFIELD SENIORS on May 14, after a bountiful meal, young people from the Youth Council presented a program showing examples of what they are doing and learning in the Council gymnastics, dance, piano, pre-school and after school programs. Thanks a lot kids, it really brought back memories to some of us. It made us feel young (old?) again. On June 5, 31 seniors took a bus trip to Sayre, Pennsylvania where we saw bread beirg made by Stroehmenns Bakery. It was interesting to find out how many stores they make bread for. We proceeded on down to Pennsylvania's Grand Canyon at Wellsboro. Due to inclement weather, we returned to Corning Glass before going to Painted Post for a super delicious dinner. Just ask anyone who went. June 13 we will have election of officers and dinner at 12:30. All persons over 55 years old are cordially invited to join with us at all meetings and trips. June 28 - Pies will be sold on Firemens Parade night. Bring them to Firemen's field, near the Barbecue Tent by 5:00 p.m. or call 387-9650 or 273-1380 if you need them picked up. Proceeds from this sale go to promote Senior Citizen activities (not trips). Thank you for participating. July 10 - Dinner at 12:30, Grange Hall. Afterwards we will review slides taken by the DeWitt Historical Society and make some discussion. August 13 - 12:00 noon at Newharts Lodge is our Picnic. Big day - you all come. August 16 - Springside Inn, Dinner Theater. For reservations 272-9399. September 10 - Dinner at 12:30 - Grange Hall.

You can help by selling and/or buying tickets. Call 273-1380. ENFIELD SCHOOL NEWS This year students, with help from their parents, earned enough money with their timber campaign for a new playground. One windy day in April dads, moms, grandparents and some members of the school staff put the pieces of the Big Toy playground together. The kids have really enjoyed this new equipment and will be able to for years to come. Many thanks to everyone in the community who helped with this endeavor. The Fun Fair was also a success this year. The 5th graders sold enough chicken barbeques to complete their fund raising for their trip to Washington, D.C. The class had a great time on their trip. A new idea of once a month whole school assemblies was carried out this year. There was an assembly to honor presidents, one to welcome spring, and most recently a flight day where a 3-4 foot replica of a full size hot air balloon was built and decorated by students. The balloon, filled with helium, took off on June 3. • If you have any time you could donate as a volunteer, it would be greatly appreciated. We need help with everything from reading with children to speaking to a class on your special interest. We also need volunteers for after school activities this fall.

Wayne Snyder, Capt. • Staff for this issue of the Enfield News - June, 1985 - Helen Jackson, 272-8624 - Alice Linton, 272-3919 - Theresa Manheim, 387-6765 Coming in September - A History of Town of Enfield Government -10- FROM THE DESK OF THE SUPERVISOR •The election districts have been changed to coincide with the new districts established by the county re -apportionment plan for our county representatives. The dividing line is the Mecklenburg Road (Route 79), or to be more exact, a line approximately 300 feet south of and running parallel to the Mecklenburg Road. Every- one residing south of this line is in District 1. Everyone residing on both sides of the Mecklenburg Road and north are in District 2. The people of Enfield will be represented by two different people on the County Board of Representatives beginning January 1, 1986. One representative will represent the south portion of the Town of Enfield and the Town of Newfield. The other representative will represent the north portion of the Town and the Town of Ulysses. Haefele TV, Inc. has completed running the lines for cable television in the Town and approximately 300 or more residences have been hooked up. For anyone desiring to ride the bus to Ithaca in the morning and return in the afternoon, there is a spot designated at Millers Corners on the east side of the road (Route 327) across from Partner's Market to park your cars. Just look for the sign (Park & Ride). There are two buses running daily between Watkins Glen and Ithaca. The regular Town Board meeting scheduled for July 3, 1985 has been changed to July 10, 1985. On that date there will be a public hearing on a proposed Local Law 111 1985 for the control of dogs. Due to several inquiries and requests on the issue of the Town taking over and maintaining roads, the Town Board adopted a policy on "Acceptance of New Town High- ways." Copies of this policy are available at the Town Clerk's Office. Roger Hubbell, Town Supervisor I am Margaret "Marnie" Kirchgessner and I am running for County Board. Although it may seem early to talk about running for office there are over two thousand registered voters in District 8 (Newfield and half of Enfield) and I want to meet everyone I don't already know before election day. The County Board seat is extremely important to us because the County Board deter- mines how much money will be spent by various county departments and then decides where the money comes to finance those departments. We need someone on the Board who is aware of where the "fat" is in county government. We do not need more government. We need more efficient government. Government must learn to live within its means. To date there has been no decision on what to do with the old hospital property. Meanwhile the county is in the process of building a new jail potentially leaving an- other county owned building vacant, while others talk of needing to build a new county office building. This simply does not make sense. Taxpayers have said repeadly sell the old hospital complex, put it on the tax roles and save the upkeep expense. We need to stop expanding government and make do w8h what we have. Elected officials must design common sense solutions to problems. •Taxpayers are expected to foot the bill so their concerns must be represented vigorously. I am committed to this type of representation and I'm asking for ideas and your support. Feel free to write me at 191 Enfield Main Road or call at 272-2241.
