Reading a series of obituaries from a single cemetery, as they are presented here, is like reading the multi-generational history of a community. These people were the local populace at a particular time. The people buried here knew each other, were neighbors, relatives and school mates. They attended church together and engaged in "trade" or business. All people are listed in alphabetic order by surname at BIRTH. Women identified by a married alias only and for whom a birth surname can not be identified, are listed on the last page for the cemetery's obituaries. Please send in typed obituaries for people buried in our local cemeteries. If possible include name of newspaper and date. Send typed in your email or in attached Word files. Send to Joyce M.

OLIVER
-LUCILE HENRY - This world is not
conclusion, a sequel stands beyond, invisible as music, but positive as
sound.” Emily Dickinson - On
Monday Sept. 20, 2021, our dear mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and
friend Lucile passed from this world and onto the next where she is now
reunited with so many of her family and friends who were waiting to greet
her and welcome her into eternal life. Lucile was born on August 20,1915 in
Binghamton, NY the only daughter of the late Theodore Wilson Oliver and
Katie Mae (Lewis) Oliver. Throughout her childhood and early life in
Binghamton, Lucile enjoyed frequent family trips to their cottage on the
Susquehanna River, attending many a service and activity at the Park Avenue
Baptist Church where she was placed on their “Cradle Roll” at birth and
spending time with her best friend and next-door neighbor Marian Stevens.
She excelled at school and graduated from Binghamton Central High School
with her Regents diploma in 1934. Upon graduation, Lucile attended Oneonta
Teacher’s College in Oneonta, NY, pursuing a teaching degree. While at
Oneonta, Lucile taught music, pledged and became a sorority member of Delta
Sigma Phi and P. Mu, as well as joining the Library Club and Tennis Club. On
one of the trips to the cottage, Lucile was told that a family friend would
be visiting from Sayre, PA which she was not happy about at all. This family
friend’s name was Howard “Hank” Henry and by the end of the visit, they had
fallen completely in love with each other. Throughout their courtship, they
took turns riding their bicycles to visit each other from Sayre to
Binghamton and Binghamton to Sayre and were affectionately called the “wild
partridges” by Lucile’s mother Katie. Howard and Lucile were married
December 10, 1936, at the Park Avenue Baptist Church in Binghamton and made
their home in Sayre immediately following. The early years of their marriage
were spent in the midst of our County’s Great Depression and one of the
stories Lucile shared often with family was about the night that Hank came
home from a long day of working on the Lehigh Railroad (picking up scrap
metal) and all the two had to eat for dinner was one piece of cheese. In
1938, Howard and Lucile were blessed with the birth of their son, David
Theodore Henry. Then, in 1945, with David just seven years old, Howard was
sent to boot camp and from there was stationed in Manila, Philippines for
eighteen months. While at home, Lucile continued to work as a homemaker and
listened to Gabriel Heatter on the radio each evening along with her family
to hear news from abroad. Lucile often said that the happiest day of her
life was the evening it was announced on the radio that the Naval ship, the
Sea Cat, which was bringing Hank home, had safely crossed the (heavily
mined) Pacific Ocean and docked in San Francisco, CA. In 1951, Hank and
Lucile were blessed by the birth of their daughter, Martha Anne Henry. By
this time, Howard had gone into the insurance and real estate business and
eventually founded Henry Insurance and Real Estate in Sayre. After many
years as members of the Sayre Methodist Church, Howard and Lucile began
attending services at the Church of the Redeemer (Episcopal) in Sayre and
found their new church home, becoming Episcopalians as well as good friends
with the Reverend Albert F. Greene and his wife Alice. During this time in
Lucile’s life, she also met and became best friends with the late June
Garrity who always called her “Lucy” along with longtime friend and helper,
Carrie Ellis. Lucile was also neighbor and good friend of the late Mary Jane
Kisner with whom she ran “The Country Store” each year at Redeemer’s Fall
Fair. Lucile also spent time volunteering at Tioga Nursing Home, taking
books to residents and taught Sunday School at Redeemer. In mid-life, Howard
began working at the Sayre Savings and Loan as Executive Vice-President,
eventually becoming President, which took he and Lucile on many trips
throughout the United States including Phoenix, Arizona and many other
Western States. Personal travel was a joy to them both and many trips were
enjoyed to Vermont, New York City to see musicals, including Lucile’s
favorite musical, “My Fair Lady” and many train trips including one to
California aboard the Super Chief. Trips were also made to Europe together
aboard the ships the Statendam and the Rotterdam, to both England and
France. Other favorite places to visit included the Homestead in Virginia,
the Greenbriar in West Virginia, many golfing outings where Lucile would
read in the car while Hank golfed and one Western trip that included time in
Oklahoma during a tornado. Lucile and Howard also enjoyed being members of
the Shepherd Hills Country Club and made many friendships through there as
well. In 1981, Howard and Lucile became grandparents to their first and only
grandchild, granddaughter Daye and were henceforth affectionately called
Bampa and Nana. In 1998, at the age of 82 and after 62 years of marriage,
Howard passed away. Shortly after his passing, Lucile courageously boarded a
charter bus, knowing nobody else aboard, and traveled to her favorite state
in the country, Vermont. On this trip she made new friends and shared many
laughs and made many happy memories. In 2004, Lucile became a
Great-Grandmother to Katie Gabrielle Moreno, who was the joy of her life.
Nana shared with Katie her famous fictitious Penelope Anne stories, love of
rocks along with many songs, books, and quality time. In her later life,
Lucile attended church services at Grace Episcopal Church in Waverly and the
Church of the Redeemer. She was devoted to her faith throughout her life,
proud of her Baptist upbringing and loved Unity Church and their
publication, Daily Word. Other consistent loves included Christmas time,
cloudy days, reading (especially The Country of the Pointed Firs by Sarah
Orne Jewett), poetry including works by Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost,
writing thank you notes, shopping, holding your hand when she spoke to you,
her “Cat Calendars”, Moretti’s and Yanuzzi’s Restaurant, Red Cat wine,
martinis with olives, the song “Seventy-Six Trombones” from “The Music Man”
