Notes for
ARVIN RICE, SR.:
Arvin Rice was a young eleven
year old boy when his father Asa Rice moved his family from Whitestown,
Oneida County, to a lot in the wilderness he had acquired located on the
shore of Lake Ontario three miles west of the Village of Oswego in what
was then the Military Township of Hannibal. Arvin later wrote an
extensive description of their journey which started on September 26, 1797,
and is described here in his own words:
"The first day we reached the
boat on the Mohawk (River), and the next day moved up the river and found
a large number of Irishmen digging the canel across from the Mohawk to
Wood Creek, a distance of two miles. We passed the carrying place
and entered Wood Creek, two other boats being in our company, and were
three days in reaching Oneida Lake, the water being low in some places,
and all hands dragging the boats, one after another, over the shoals.
My brother, Heman, then two years old, fell overboard. He had on
a red dress, and we could see him in the water, and soon got him out.
Where Wood Creek empties into Oneida Lake, the boat struck a log and I
fell into the water and was helped out by my father.
We reached the lake at evening
and at 2 o'clock a.m. reached Rotterdam (now Constantia). The next
day we reached Threee River Point, where lived Esq. Bingham, who professed
to be a pilot, and the next morning he took charge of our boat to conduct
it down Three River Rift (opposite the present Village of Phoenix.
In going down, the boat struck a rock in the middle of the river, and whirled
around across the stream, the bottom upon the rock. The upper side
sunk, and the boat filled with water washing off many light articles which
never were recovered. All the goods were thoroughly drenched except
the upper drawer of the bureau, in which were the writings. The family
were fortunately were placed upon the shore previous to reaching the rift,
and staid in a fisherman's camp opposite the boat, where we remained three
or four days through a tremendous northwest storm. After the storm
a light boat came along and helped get our things out and our bost righted.
We then came down the river, and at Oswego Falls found a carrying placed
of about a mile, thence down the river to the lake and along the shores
of father's lot. It was October 6th, 1797, at 2 o'clock p.m., we
arrived at Four Mile Creek, and father said: "This is our land,"
and turned the boat towards the shore. I got to the bow and when
the boat touched the shore, I jumped and said "I'll be the first to take
possession."
The goods were taken out upon
the beach and the boatmen went back. It was a beautiful day and the
first business was to open the goods and spread them out to dry.
Not a bush had been cut towards a clearing, but father had borrowed at
the garrison (Fort Ontario) in Oswego a tent, 7 x 10 feet, which he raised
for a temporary shelter a few rods back from the beach.
Towards night the wind blew
hard off the lake and it began to lighten and thunder, and a little after
sundown it rained and stormed very hard, while we, a family of ten, crept
into the little tent and staid all night.
The next day, father went
back about thirty rods from the shoreand cut some logs and made a pen 7
x 10 feet and placed the tent on top and put some boards or pieces
of boats he found on the lake shore across, making a chamber for the boys.
Soon afterward we built of poles 12 feet long, a pen about 6 feet high
and made a roof by putting hemlock boughs on the rafters, and the family
moved into it. About that time, mother and one of the children were
taken sick with fever and ague. The boatmen who left us the day we
landed were to have returned in three weeks with provisions for the winter,
but did not return for six weeks. We had a little bag of flour, about
twenty pounds, and father caught a salmon and took another one from an
eagle. That was all the provisions we had. Father went to Oswego
and bought, for $6, a barrel of flour which had been under water and was
wet and mouldy; no light bread could be made from it, and it made the children
sick when they ate it.
When the boatmen returned
(probably about November 20th), they helped father build a log house, 16
x 18 feet, covered with bass-wood bark, about 100 rods back from the lake,
and then the family moved in, drawing our sick mother upon a sled, as winter
had already set in. After we had moved in, the boatmen said we must
name the village, and they drank wine and named it Union Village".
Arvin Rice also related that
the following hymn was also sung on this occasion:
"Where nothing dwells but beasts
of prey,
Or men as fierce and wild
as they,
He bids the opressed and poor
repair,
And builds them towns and
cities there;
They sow the fields and trees
they plant,
Whose yearly fruit supplies
their want;
Their race grows up from fruitful
stocks,
Their wealth increases with
their flocks."
"In February 1798, my brother
Horace died, aged about one and one half years. During the winter,
my brother Joseph, aged 14, and myself cleared about 4 acres, and in the
spring some corn and potatoes were planted, and a pair of oxen and a heifer
were brought from Whitestown. Once during the summer, the cattle
strayed away and were gone some three weeks. On the 4th of July,
1798, Joseph and I went to the fort at Oswego and returned home at dusk.
Lois, aged 10, and Ira, aged seven, had been sent to hunt for the cattle
and had not returned. We searched till late in the evening, but did
not find them; the next morning we went out again, and as we called they
answered. They had spent the night lying between the roots of two
large birch trees.
During the first winter, but
one family remained at Oswego, and a man by the name of Hudson lived up
the river about a mile, and hunted through the winter. From Oswego
west to Big Sodus Bay, thence south to the Seneca River and down the river
to Three River Point and thence to Oswego, there were only two or three
families and they were at the Point and the Falls.
In the fall of 1798, the children
were all taken sick with lake fever, and father, who was of feeble constitution,
was sick for three months. In 1799, the family were well and some
progress was made in clearing. For two years we pounded corn in a
maple log for our bread and pudding. In 1800, the family were all
sick again. About this time, the bears began to trouble us by catching
calves and pigs. We also suffered for lack of clothing, and the ticking
of our beds and pillows was cut up, the feathers being emptied into barrels
and boxes. Wild game and fish were then plenty and we began taking
grain to the mill to be ground, sometimes to Sodus Point, or to Ellisburg
in Jefferson County and once to Oswegatchie, now Ogdensburg.
Once father and mother and
one child started to go to Oswego in a log canoe, and there being a south
wind hoisted a sail. When they were about a half a mile out, the
wind shifted and the canoe was turned bottom upwards; they got upon the
canoe and a boat went after them, so they arrived safely at home.
The first plow my father had
was made by a Mr. Church, and when I was about 15 years old, I walked up
to Van Walkenburg's (probably near Fulton) and carried the plow share to
be repaired. For ten years after our first arrival, there was no
opportunity for school, and then it was at Oswego, three miles from
our home.
In 1798, the townships of
Hannibal, Lysander and Scipio (now Cicero) were organized into one town,
and Asa Rice, my father was Supervisor. He reported fifteen inhabitants
and the valuation of taxable property at $1,500. He continued
(as) Supervisor until 1806. The first marriage in the town was of
Augustus Ford and my sister Damaris Rice, in the year of 1800."
On one occasion, Arvin set
a trap for a rabbit or a fox, and on going to it found caught therein a
large wild cat, which flew at him as far as the chain would allow.
The little stick he had was not sufficient, and he had to bring large stones
from the lake and stone it to death. The wild cat was very vicious
and would have done him serious injury if it had been able to reach him.
Another time, he was washing
his hands in the house, when someone yelled, "There is a bear."
He took down the gun and stepping out saw the bear up yonder hill, some
30 rods away. He thought he would shoot anyway and raising the gun
fired it. The bear turned his head a little, but kept on and went
over the fence. Arvin walked up to the fence and found the bear which
soon died from loss of blood. It seems that the bullet had struck
a little above the tail and had passed lengthwise nearly through the body.
In 1804, a small schooner
named the Fair American was built at Oswego by a Mr. Wilson. Either
Arvin or his brother Joseph drove an ox team and drew timbers for it across
the the river on the ice every day, except Sundays, in the month of March.
For ten years after the arrival
of the family, there was no opportunity for schooling. However, Arvin
was determined to acquire some form of education. He worked two seasons
to save up enough money to pay his way to a school in Constableville in
Lewis County. He was over 21 years of age, when he set out on foot
and walked all the way to Constableville, a distance of over 60 miles,
to enroll in the school. At the start of the school session, he was
one of oldest ones there and was at the bottom of the class. However,
at the end of the term in the spring, he was at the top of the class.
Once the school term was over, he once again set out on foot and walked
all the way back home.
In 1809, Arvin acquired 100
acres of land on Lot 58 on the outskirts of the future Village of Hannibal.
In May or June of that year, he commenced clearing the land starting at
sunrise and working as long as he could see at night. He constructed
himself a log cabin on what is now Oswego Street approximately where Virginia
Goodale currently resides. He also erected the first barn, set out
the first orchard and used the first iron plow in the area.
Arvin was a volunteer in the
War of 1812, and in later years, was considered an authority on local involvement
in that conflict. Unfortunately, his accounts were either not written
down or if they were, lost in the ensuing years. However, it is natural
to assume that he may have been one of the defenders of Oswego during the
seige by the British.
After the war, Arvin became
prominent in local affairs. When the towns of Granby and Oswego were
set apart from the rest of the Hannibal Township in 1818, it was through
his efforts that the name, Hannibal, was retained. He served as Justice
of the Peace in 1829, and Hannibal Town Supervisor during 1829-30.
He was elected New York Assemblyman representing Oswego County in 1838.
He again served as Hannibal Town Supervisor in 1840. When the Oswego
County Agricultural Society was organized in Oswego on February 1, 1840,
he was elected its first Vice-President.
Arvin Rice was a strong vigorous
man. He was earnest in the cause of temperance and other matters
of public welfare. He was a strong anti-Mason. He was of an
independent mind and passionately believed that no man should be a slave
to another. Therefore, it was only natural that he would have ties
to the Abolitionist Movement. It is said that his house was a station
on the Underground Railroad and that a certain old gray horse he had, knew
well the road to Oswego on the darkest night.
Arvin lived a rich full life
reaching the ripe old age of 92 before his death in 1878.

Notes for
DR. ALFRED RICE:
Dr. Alfred Rice's earlier days were
spent on his father's farm. He was encouraged to cultivate his taste
for books and was graduated from Union College in Schenectady in 1840.
He then taught a year in Kentucky; travelling there on foot with two of
his classmates. One of those was a famous Boston physician - Dr. Thayer.
Then he enrolled in medical
school in Castleton, VT, where he studied medicine for two years.
While at medical school, Alfred met his first wife, Caroline Grey
from Dorset, VT. They married upon his graduation.
Dr. Rice established his practice
in Hannibal, NY, and joined the Oswego Medical Society in 1843. He
was Commissioner of Common Schools for the Town of Hannibal in 1845.
He was appointed Postmaster of Hannibal on June 2, 1849, and served as
Town Supervisor in 1855.
Dr.
Rice's first wife died in 1849. He then married Miss Caroline Dudley
who in turn died in 1862. At the time, the country was engaged in
the midst of the Civil War. In 1862, Dr. Rice enlisted in the Company
F of the 110th NY Volunteer Infantry as Assistant Surgeon. Company
F was under the command of Captain Edwin Boyd while the regimental command
was commanded by Col. D.C. Littlejohn. The regimental surgeon soon resigned
and Dr. Rice replaced him.
Dr. Rice saw service in Louisiana
and on the Louisiana/Texas border before the regiment was transferred to
the island of Dry Tortugas off the coast of Florida in 1864. He was
stationed at the prison hospital there for approximately 18 months.
Dr. Rice was considered like a father to most of the men and he was the
only regimental officer who remained with his command to the end of the
war. The regiment was mustered out on August 25, 1865, but Dr. Rice
returned home in poor health and practiced his profession but little after
that. The service Dr. Rice rendered his country during the Civil
War made him one of the best known men among soldiers in Oswego County.
Dr. Rice was a prominent figure in the Hannibal GAR, Post No. 447.
For many years, Dr. Rice
was a prominent member of the Hannibal Presbyterian Church having frequently
served in the capacity of Trustee. In 1877, he was elected Village
President. Over the years, the doctor's health steadily deteriorated,
both physically and mentally, until his death in 1897. His funeral
was held at his home on Oswego Street and he laid to rest in the Hannibal
Village Cemetery.
Dr. Alfred Rice's residence
was located next door to what is now the Hannibal Community Center, but
in those days it was the Hannibal Baptist Church. The house in recent
years has been the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Eckersley. In anticipation
of retiring and moving south, Mr. Eckersley most recently sold the house
to Eugene Gauger, Jr.
Home
of Dr. Alfred Rice located on Oswego Street in the Village
of Hannibal,
NY.
