Haviland
Hollow,
NY |
Patterson
,
N.Y.
was originally named
Franklin
when organized in 1795. The name was changed in 1808 to Patterson
because several towns in the state had the name
Franklin
and confusion was rampant.
Patterson
was made up of many small areas such as Four Corners (now Towners),
Hinckley Pond (now Ice Pond), Haviland Hollow, and
Patterson
Village
, which was sometimes called
Patterson
City
.
One of
the areas which has had much written about it is Haviland Hollow
which was settled in 1731 by Jacob Haviland. The Havilands were
Quakers from
Massachusetts
. The
Hollow, like many other areas, had its own Post Office, school and
stores. From farming of the most primitive type, living became
easier. Grain and cattle were raised, later sheep and large
quantities of potatoes and fruit.

Another
place which meant so much to the life of Haviland Hollow was the
Methodist-Episcopal C. M. E. Church which was dedicated in 1868.
Mrs. James C. Gerow wrote, "Not until 1870 did I come into
fellowship with the Hollow people. The Rev. Marvin R. Lent was then
pastor of the New Fairfield and Hollow churches. Every Sunday
afternoon the
Hollow
Church
was filled to capacity. We were both members of the choir. I
frequently played the Melodin."
In
1928 Mrs. Minnie Barnum Durga wrote in The Putnam County Courier,
"what has been the meaning of this little church in Haviland
Hollow? Surely more love to God and to man, it has meant an
awakening to, and a closer following of the true principals of
Christianity. Nothing can mean more than, this. So it has been God's
great blessing."
Both,
the church and parsonage still stand today, but have been remodeled
to residences.
