The first Reformed Dutch church located in this village, stood on the hill west of the Episcopal church, adjoining the Diven property. Nothing remains at present to mark its site, save a small enclosure containing a few interments. In this cemetery is a plain marble monument to the memory of Lieut. George McChain, which bears the following truly clasical inscription, composed by the Hon. R. R. Pray, Chancellor of the State of Mississippi : --

Interred

Near this stone lie the remains of George McChain' Lieutenant i:i the sixth regiment of the United States Infantry, and distinguished . for his valor iu the battles of Chippeway and Bridgewater. In him were united the energy of the BOldier, with the easy politeness of the gentleman. Impressed with the great truths of religion, he was hospitable, gentle, sober, just,

and contemplative. From the ardour of his love of country, he early devoted himself to her service, where he was brave without vanity, and

magnanimous without ostentation. To perpetuate the memory of so beloved a character, his mourning friends have erected this humble stone,

a frail memorial of their veneration for his virtues, and a faint testimony of their grief for. a misfortune, alas! indelibly engraven on their hearts. He died on the 19th day of October, 1818, Aged 32 years.

Also monuments to the memory of his father John McChain, one of the Westchester guides in the revolutionary war, and the Rev. Allen Blair, who departed this life June 14, aged 72 years; also, Jane, wife of St. John Constant, who died April 2, 181 7.
