6317 Back in the Day - Nov. 6, 1966: Schuyler-Colfax home is builtMonday November 14, 2011, 12:36 AM By BRYAN LAPLACA COLUMNIST

"With ax in hand, a tall Dutchman stands alone in the wilderness. His back glistens with the sweat of labor. Aching muscles are his personal testimonial to days of grueling construction. But determined eyes shine as the hope of the future stands before him. Arent Schuyler has built his home."It is a sanctuary from weather not chained by technology; a wall separating man and inimical nature; a meeting place where friends may talk of a country without a name, without a government as we know it and without a plan even remotely connected with democracy."The year is 1702. The place is Pompton Plains, and the man is the first member of the Schuyler family to come to New Jersey. Two hundred and sixty four years later, the Schuyler family is still living here in the historic quarters which have been witness to the American Revolution, the Independence movement, the results of a constitution written in 1789 and the growth of a nation," began an article about the historic home.The Schuyler-Colfax House hasn’t moved, but it is now located in Wayne Township. The source article is probably wrong in stating that Arent Schuyler built the home in Pompton Plains, as according to the Wayne Township website, the home is close to the Pompton Lakes border. Pompton Lakes is not one of the many towns in the area that was once a part of the once-megalithic Pequannock Township.According to the Wayne Township website, "Until recently the homestead was a private residence for the eighth generation of the family, when it became a Wayne Township Museum. One of only a few colonial homesteads built prior to 1700 on the East Coast of the United States, it was never sold out of original ownership for eight generations. In 1994, Dr. Jane Colfax sold the landmark to Wayne Township to serve as a museum. Each generation produced military, medical, legal, and governmental representatives."The Schuyler-Colfax house was recognized and honored in October 1966 as an historical shrine. The 16th annual New Jersey Historical conference, as part of a tour to many historical sites in New Jersey, presented the dedication. About 200 people attended the ceremonies.Jack E. Boucher, supervisor of historic sites, dedicated the plaque mounted at the foot of the house. As reported, it reads "Schuyler-Colfax. The Schuyler and Colfax families were prominent in shaping New Jersey History."Guests at the dedication included Robert M. Lunny, director of the New Jersey Historical Society, who presided; Wayne Mayor Edward Sisco, who made the welcoming remarks; Peggy Lamont, Butler High School student and member of the Jerseymen, whose winning essay made the dedication possible; and Dr. Jane Colfax and Dr. Richard Colfax, then-owners of the house and direct descendants of Arent Schuyler."The house, which has been continuously occupied by descendants of the original builder (one of three in the United States left), is of significance because of its Revolutionary and pre-Revolutionary architecture," it was reported 45 years ago. "Although the present owners are busy restoring parts of the home, little has been changed since it was first built. As visitors pass through the rooms of the Schuyler-Colfax house, the mood and reality of a developing nation and state emerge."There is a nightcap crocheted by Martha Washington for Lt. William Golfax, born July 3, 1756, who served at Valley Forge. There are yellowed books of state and federal records dated 1793. An antique baby cradle stands by the doorway. Tables are dressed with hand-printed water basins and pitchers. The walls boast a copy of the Declaration of Independence, portraits of George and Martha Washington, and a framed document of the house's plans recorded in the Library of Congress.

"The original plaster ceilings, floor boards (of which no two are alike), and stone walls put together with mortar composed of field clay and reeds remain. The office where Dr. Jane Colfax, present owner of the home and direct descendant of Arent Schuyler, practices medicine is believed to be the original dwelling of her ancestors."One can see a chimney with hooks where meat was once cured. The garret above the room was used as a bedroom by slaves. The heavy beams overhead have now deepened in color. The main hall of the house is supported by walls with permanent color, having been made al fresco when the plaster was applied still wet. The living room supports the original plaster cornice molding and a floor that rests on hand-hewn joists. The original paneled wall in the dining room is also there, the top of which is curved. It is noted that they were constructed by ship's carpenters who built the walls as of a ship."The kitchen is supported by the original oak beams, ceiling boards, and oak floor boards which are ‘preserved and sealed by periodic applications of boiled linseed oil.’ A sandstone hearth stone, 5-feet wide and running the length of the kitchen, served as the base of a large fireplace."While the house, parts of which are still under reconstruction, exemplifies pre- and post-Revolutionary architecture, the mood of the times in which it was built is further enhanced when you learn the genealogy of the generations who lived there," it was reported."The land was purchased in 1697 by Arent Schuyler. The property was left to one of his three sons, Philip, who ran a copper mine and resided at the home with his wife, Hester, and children. His daughter, Hester Schuyler, married Lt. William Colfax, thus, the present name, Schuyler-Colfax Home."President Washington served as godfather to Colfax's son, George Washington Schuyler, and is said to have sat in one of the chairs in the home. William Colfax's other son, Schuyler Colfax Jr., became vice president of the United States under U.S. Grant. His third son, William Washington Colfax, became a doctor in the Passaic and Paterson areas and inherited the home."Since that time, medicine has become a family vocational tradition, and the only two direct descendants now living, Jane and Richard Colfax, are both doctors."Several landmarks are also found around the home, among which is a scarce mile-marker showing the distance from Hoboken to Jersey City; the site of the Morris Canal Feeder in the rear of the home where the Ramapo River flows; and a family graveyard where descendents are buried."As one visitor put it, ‘If the walls of the house could talk, just think of the things they could tell!’ Dr. Jane Colfax and her husband, Michael DeNike, and Dr. Richard Colfax have done a good job of making these walls do just that."

A Brief Life History of the Life of Sarah Emma Toone Holling PortlandOregon 6 March 1939

Sarah Emma Toone was born in Salt Lake City, Utah July 9, 1866 the firstchild of 12 children born to William Henry Toone and Hannah Webb who wassealed under the everlasting covenant. The remaining eleven brothers andsisters was born in Croydon, Morgan County Utah where the family went tolive near the father of William Henry Toone. They had been called thereon a mission by the church for colonization in the Weber Valley. WilliamHenry Toone and his wife Hannah Webb both trace their ancestors back tothe early English history. Her early life was spent in the beautifulvalley of Croyden north east of Morgan in view of the Devils slide andthe Devils Mirror.

As she grew older she went to Great Salt Lake City for schooling and workwhere she met her husband Marcus William Frisby Holling the son of MarcusHolling who was a secretary to Brigham Young, before he was sent on amission to Holland to become the mission president.

After courtship they was married in civil marriage at Morgan Utah October22, 1889 and was married under the covenant in the Logan Temple October24, 1889. They made their home in Salt Lake City where her husband wasemployed as a machinist.

The first four children was born in Salt Lake City during which time shewas active in Sunday
School, Relief Society and Religion Class work, and opening her home atall times for the entertainment of young people.

During the winter of 1900-01 her husband accepted employment in PortlandOregon and she came to Oregon and visited for a couple of months givingapproval to moving her family to the Pacific Coast. She then returned toSalt Lake City, closed the home and returned to Oregon with her fourchildren and sister Nettie who remained with her for several months.

After establishing a home in Portland they became active in church workand took an active part in all activities under the then existing branchorganization. Her husband was a leader in
the branch on her return, and she immediately took part as Sunday SchoolTeacher, Young Peoples Director and visited the poor and the sick andministered to the saints in distress.

On January 18, 1903 the first Latter Day Saints Relief Society wasorganized with Sarah Emma Holling sustained as set apart as the firstpresident with Katrina Westergaard and Mary Simmons as counselors. Thefirst meeting was held in the home of the president on the North Westcorner SW 2nd and Grant streets January 20, 1903. The following meetingswas held at the same home until a later date when they visited thevarious homes of the sisters and held their meetings.

The following extract from a letter will express int eh presidents ownwords her love for the saints which was written to a sister who was indistress, living some distance from Portland. "The Elders also ourbranch president said it would be well for me to write you, and assureyou if my writing will be of any benefit to you in any way, I will takegreat pleasure in doing so. I realize that we, as sisters in the gospelof truth and rightousness can do much for each other in extending ourlove for one another in times of trial, and it is our duty to lend ahelping hand to our sisters at all times. We are strangers; still I feelto draw near unto you in my desire to help you in any way that I can,even to exhorting you on in the great work that we are engaged in, thatwill eventually save and exault each and all of us that walk in fear andmeekness before him, putting all our trust and energy to that one greatend. I feel to bear you my testimony to the devinity and thetruthfullness of the gospel; for I feel as sure that God lives as I dothat I have a body of flesh and blood. We have a Relief Societyorganization here in Portland and have some very nice meetings. Thereare about 9 or 10 enrolled and we sisters meet in humbleness and the Lorddoes answer our prayers and pours out his spirit upon us, insomuch thatwe have the spirit of testimony bearing in our midst."

Before the sewing meetings was started the sisters constructed a silkpatch work quilt with the names of the sisters worked on the squares andpresented it at a surprise party to President Holling when she broke downwith tears of appreciation and was unable to speak. This proved to be avery happy birthday party. The spread passed on to the older daughterXimena who acted as secretary who was very pleased to receive it, andwhich is now the prized possession of the younger daughter.

Sister Holling's notes are complete with small details of early historyof the Relief Society and branch activities, such as assistance given,calls on the sick at homes and hospitals, choir practice, cottagemeetings business transacted, names of early saints that helped makechurch history in the Oregon district, and personal information whichexpresses the spiritual devotion with love and service that carried thework along.

The first death noted in these personal notes was a sister Lucretia Smithwho passed away 9 June 1905 at the age of 72 years and was entured byFinley's Mortuary on June 11th the missionaries presiding at the funeral.The endowment work for sister Smith was done by Sister Holling in theSalt Lake Temple when she went to Utah for the burial of one of hersisters.

Another extract from these notes are quote " On January 31st 1908 myselfand counselors met over town and purchased furnishings for themissionaries quarters, such as sheets, pillow cases, curtains, andbedspreads to the amount of $14.42. Feb. 3, 1908 I went to themissionaries headquarters and spent the day sewing and cleaning for them.

"Called on Brother and Sister Pratt and son Heber who informed me that hehad been called on a mission to Germany."
