In order that the old building be preserved they have offered it to the Boston Historical Society who hope to establish a small historical museum there. As Boston celebrates its sesqui- centennlal next year this would be very timely. This building has greater ar chitectural and historical interest than any other building in the town and it is certainly to be hoped that it may be taken over by the Historical Society and the town.

In the 1930s the interior of the church was redecorated, the lighting fixture and the strap hinges were added. In 1937, when the church celebrated their one hundredth anniversary, Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, great grandson of Solomon Fosdick, pastor of the Riverside Church in New York, preached here. His brother, Raymond Fosdick, President of the Rockefeller Institute, also spoke at this time.

The State Historical Department long ago recognized the historical importance of this building and placed a marker in front of it In recent years the building has been occupied by Faith United Church. This congregation has now built a new and larger Abbott Asks State To Proceed On Bypass from page 1 Residents, business men, the Chamber of Commerce and public officials of both the Town and Village of Hamburg now are ex-. pressing concern over the congested traffic conditions on Rts. 75 and 62. The village's master plan, issued last.

month, has re-emphasized the need for this traffic facUity. Noting that town officials 'and representatives of the State Public Works Department in a recent meeting In Supervisor Abbott's office came to "general agreement" on a suggested alignment of such a by-pass, Mr. Abbott said the plan then was referred to the Town Planning Board to determine "how It would affect certain critical areas within the alignment of this route." The Village Planning Commission also advised of the study plan, he said. Certain suggestions were made by the Town Planning Board for adjustment in the study plan alignment, and the plan then War returned to the Public Works office. "The Hamburg Town Board is in agreement with the general alignment of the study plan, together with the suggested align- -ment changes," Supervisor Ab bott said.

recently at the Eden Methodist Jo Ellen Vice. Old St. Paul's Church Campaign Launched to As early as 1830 what is now the back part of the basement of old St. Paul's Church at Boston was a stone school house. It was termed a Select School and might be compared to a private high school.

John Spencer Fosdick," oldest son of Solomon Fosdick, taught here for a year or more. Before the church was built there had been religious services probably in the cabins of the settlers. A German 1 Evangelical Church had been organized in 1834. The present building was built by a Presbyterian group in 1837. The rear portion of the building dates from this time but the building was not completed until 1857.

Solomon Fosdick was probably the most skilled carpenter in the valley and taught his trade to three of his sons. He and John Spencer Fosdick, his oldest son, built the church with the help of other church members who cut and hauled lumber and stone. Solomon Fosdick had come here from' VanRensalaerville, south of Albany. This village is beautiful because most of the buildings are Greek Revival in architectural style and Solomon Fosdick was probably the only carpenter in the valley who was skilled in building such, buildings. We un-, doubtedly owe it to him that we have a church of such dignity which resembles the New England meeting houses.

When the membership in the Presbyterian group declined the building was sold to the Evan-. gelical group which was made up of Germans. In 1859 this group reorganized, joining with a Reformed group and the church was called St. Paul's German: United Evangelical Church. The sanctuary was altered with a division through the center so that the men sat on one side and the.

women on the other. Until 1875 the pastor, when they had one, lived in the basement of the church but that year a parsonage was purchased. In 1883 the tower was added and a bell was purchased. This bell also served as a fire alarm for the village. In 1906 the division in the center of the church was removed and the central doorway was cut leading to the center, aisle.
