Owego and Ithaca Turnpike Company Stock Certificate (Issued 1810). Owego and Ithaca Turnpike Company Stock Certificate
The Owego & Ithaca Turnpike Company was chartered to build a road between the two named cities in upstate New York. The turnpike opened to travel in 1808, making Owego an outlet to a large section of the country. All the flour, grain, salt, plaster, etc., for the southern and eastern market, was brought down Cayuga lake by boat to Ithaca, and then to Owego by teams. The traffic was so great that from five hundred to eight hundred loaded wagons usually passed over the turnpike in a single day. The company had only one President, Dr. Lewis Beers, assuming the office at the company’s inception in 1807 and continuing until the road became a public highway in 1841. Beers (who has signed this piece) became a conspicuous figure in the early history of Tompkins County. He built the first frame house in the town in 1801. He was chosen the first justice of the peace of the town, receiving his warrant in 1807 from Governor Daniel D. Tompkins. In the same year he was appointed first judge of the Court of Common Pleas. He was founder and first pastor of the "New Jerusalem Church," or Swedenborgian, which faith he adopted about 1813. After a long, honorable and useful life he died September 4, 1849, at the age of eighty-one years. James Pumpelly (who has signed this piece as the company Treasurer) was at the head of nearly every public enterprise in the Owego area. In 1829 he built a large brick mansion in Owego at the time the most pretentious and costly house in the section, built after the style of the Van Rensselaer mansion in Albany. He was made president of the Owego Bank; treasurer of the Owego and Ithaca Turnpike Company; president of the Owego Turnpike Company; of the Ithaca and Owego Railroad Company, and of the Susquehanna Steam Navigation Company (which in 1835 built the first steamboat on the Susquehanna for commercial purposes). He was founder and president of the board of trustees of the Owego Academy; first president of the Village of Owego, 1827-32; member of the state assembly in 1810, and a member of the first Board of Directors of the Erie Railway. Historic piece that now dates back over 200 years!!
