the FIRST erected in this village, has been
leased by the now Ramapaugh club n
local organization. one OF whose prime
movers IS Joseph J. Ryan. son OF Thomas
Fortune Ryan.
Long before SuTcrn was known 20
white mon tho Indians trailed through II.
The tribe that Inhabited this area was
called Ramspaugh, from which Rsmapo
is derived
John Suffcrn. a lawyer. came 10 Amer
ica from Belfast. Ireland, in 1850. After
spending a few years I'm Philadelphia he
obtained q grant Of land at the foot ci
the mountains" from patentees of George
Ill This property which he called New
Antrim. included an Of the present
boundaries Of the village OF Suffern.
The first house Suffern built was the
old Homestead The bockhousc door
taken from this house IS now at New
burgh. y. y. but due to carelessness. -
incorrectly labelled. Later tho Triton
house. called Antrim Hall, was erected.
John Suffern was the first judge o.
Rockland County, and was stancn
Wing. General Washington often stopped
at his house on his way TO stony Point
or Kings Ferry. Washington had his
HEADQUARTERS at the old Homestead for
long time and the grounds surrounding
it were used by the soldiers for camping.
Children used TO tell pretty story OF his
visit 10 the mountains. They SAID that
while the general was watching inc
troops he dropped his gold watch down a
deep crevice in a cliff; and that now. II
oDo nuts his ear down and keeps very
very still he can hear its ticking
Very often during the war the Amer-
can army passed through suffern to stony
Point. The wounded British soldiers
taken by Anthony Wayne were hurried
through the Ramspo Valley on their way

ANCIENTS KNEW OF GLAZING
Proof That Early Inhabitants OF Mex.
leo Used Process In the Manu-.
faeture Of Pottery.

The discovery by Henry c. Mercer
Of Daylestown. Pa. that the ancient
Inhabitants OF Mexico used q glazing
process In the manufacture of their
pottery has rev~olutionized tho views
Of ceramic experts at the University
OF Pennsylvania, and may lead. says
American Art News, TO the discovery
Of beds OF clay suitable for use today.
Mr.. Mercer. who Is an expert on til
ing n q former curator OF the Uni
versity museum. during a recent study
OF Mexican potteries at the museum,
had his attention called to the vart-
ance In workmanship in certain coll
lections. He promptly classified the
potteries as possessing two different
kinds OF clay. and was surprised to
find that a distinct glaze was still ap
parent.
The ancient Egyptians. says Mr..
Mercer. did not glaze their works. the
Chinese adopting this %precaution ut q
later date TO make their vessels inn
pervious to water. Civilization had
been established by this time. how
ever. and tho use OF the glazing art
by prehistoric Mexicans may unfold
interesting ceramics.
