[J. Thomas Scharf (1886)] 1SS0-81. Rev. Aaron Coons. 1882.. Rev. K. H. W. Burden. 1I-83-C4. Rev. Robert Kerr. During the ministry of David Lyman, the pastor in 18(51 and 18(32, who was a stanch Abolitionist, a di-vision arose in the church caused by the conflict of feelings engendered by the great national strife, which worked great injury to the church, then in a very flourishing condition. A church at Yorktown, in the southwestern portion of the town, and one at Spring Valley, were connected with the Croton Lake Church as one charge about 1869. The number of members (1S84) is about forty-five, and of Sunday-school scholars about thirty. The stewards are Nathaniel Williams, John Tait, Horace Baker, Samuel Reynolds and William E. Reynolds. Within the village is the summer residence built by the late George E. L. Hyatt, a successful carpet and J oil-cloth dealer in New York City. Since his death, a few years ago, the house has been for the most part unoccupied.
