Joyce's Search Tip - January 2008  Do You Know that you can search just the Obituaries on the site by using the three County Specific Obituary selections in the Partitioned search engine at the bottom of the Current What's New Page? You can narrow your search by including a key word in the cemetery name or a township name in addition to the surname you search. Then select the Find All Words option. You'll also find obituary and other newspaper clippings using Clippings partition. Additional clippings can be found in the Birth, Marriage, and some other partitions.

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.

CALKINS – Henry D. Calkins, who has been a well-known conductor on the Fall Brook railways, died last Monday afternoon at the Methodist hospital in Brooklyn, NY, where he went five weeks ago in the hope of obtaining relief through a surgical operation. Upon investigation, the surgeons concluded that it would be fatal to remove a fibrous or cancerous tumor in the lower bowel, so they performed the operation of colostomy, and Mr. Calkins was hoping  to recover sufficient strength to return to his family in this place. But he failed steadily, and on Monday his family was notified that his death was near, and his son, Mr. Walter V. Calkins started that day for his bedside; but Mr. Calkins died before his son reached Brooklyn. Henry Daniel Calkins was nearly 66 years of age. He was born in Charleston Township November 17, 1830. He married Miss Maria Wilcox, February 14, 1852. Of their three children one daughter and one son are surviving, besides the widow. Mr. Calkins enlisted at the outbreak of the war in Company C, 7th PA Cav., as a Private, and he served through the war and was promoted to Lieutenant. After the war Mr. Calkins was for two years in the mercantile business at Tioga. Then he became a freight conductor on the New York Central railroad. His leg was broken in an accident and he was laid up for some time. He then became conductor of a passenger train on the Tioga railroad, a position he held for many years. For the past eleven years he had been in the employment of the Fall Brook Railway and for nearly two years conductor on the train between this borough and Stokesdale Junction. About a year ago his family moved here from Elmira, NY. He was a quiet, unassuming gentleman who had many friends and no enemies. Last winter Mr. Calkins had pneumonia, and he had hardly recovered from that when he was again prostrated with the obscure disease, which caused his death. The remains are to be brought to Mansfield tomorrow, and the funeral is to be held immediately after the arrival of the noon train. – Wellsboro Agitator, 12 August 1896

CLARK, FRANK W (SRGP 25996)
The funeral of the late Frank W. Clark, Esq., was held at his late home on North Main Street, and was largely attended.  The following members of the Tioga County Bar Association were in attendance:  Judge Howard Marsh, C. H. Ashton, C. B. Clark, Thomas Crichton, Mason Owlett, A. B. Dunsmore, C. M. Elliott, E. H. Green, N. B. Leslie, George R. Mathers, Horace B. Packer, F. H. Rockwell, E. B. Rockwell, Walter Sherwood, Harry N. Sherwood.  Many others from out of town were present, among whom we noticed Prothonotary E. P. Rees, of Wellsboro; Miss Agnes Fitzpatrick and Mr. and Mrs. Dodson, of Olean; Mrs. Lucy Bailey Rockwell, of Wellsboro.  Rev. J. H. Stanton, pastor of the Mansfield Presbyterian Church, of which Mr. Clark was a member, gave a short, but splendid talk from John 9:4: “The night cometh when no man can work.”  Mr. Stanton said, in part:  Death is certain.  Man may conquer everything else.  He may jealously guard his health, and obey all the laws of his physical being.  Yet with it all a slow disintegration, sets in early life.  We start to die before we have commenced to live.  Death is a swifter runner than man.  It overtakes him in the end.  Trips planned are never completed, poems are left unwritten children are left motherless and husbands wifeless.  The dearest ties are broken.  Death is cruel.  It has no love nor sentiment.  But in another sense death is uncertain.  The moment of its coming is beyond our knowledge.  There are a thousand things to cut one’s life short unexpectedly.  Life is constantly becoming more hazardous.  We must then strive to our utmost to make our lives useful while we can, for death may at any moment terminate our work.  Rev. Mr. Griffiths made a few remarks in which he eulogized some of the peculiarities of the deceased.  He said that Mr. Clark had often said that he desired to die from his feet up, when his time came.  Meaning that he wished that his mind would remain clear to the end.  And in this he got his wish.  The interment was in Prospect cemetery.

F. W. CLARK, PROMINENT LAWYER PASSES AWAY (SRGP 25996)
Frank W. Clark, Esq.. one of the most prominent lawyers in Northern Pennsylvania, died yesterday at ten o’clock a.m., after a week’s illness. Enlargement of the heart was the doctor's decision. The funeral will be held tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon at two o’clock at the house on North Main Street, Rev. J. H. Stanton, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, will officiate, assisted by Rev. D. J. Griffiths, of the Baptist Church; interment will be in Prospect Cemetery. Mr. Clark is survived by his widow and two daughters, Fannie M. Clark and Julia Genevieve, wife of Carl Clark of Wellsboro; and six grandchildren; also a niece, daughter of the late J. M. Clark. Frank W. Clark was born in Richmond Township, August 21, 1839, a son of Elijah Pincheon and Fannie Fitzgerald Clark and grandson of Elijah and Lydia Mixter Clark. He was reared in his native township and received his education in the public schools of Mansfield, the Wellsboro high school and the Mansfield Classical Seminary, now the state Teachers College. He spent the summer of 1863 in the West with his invalid brother, Daniel E. Clark, remaining with him until his death. In the early part of 1864 he commenced the study of law under the Hon. Henry Sherwood, of Wellsboro, with whom he remained two years. Upon his admission to the bar, in 1866, he located in Mansfield, where he has ever since resided, and practiced his profession. Mr. Clark was married September 9, 1875, to Miss Lelia S. Cole, a daughter of Alston J. and Mary B. Adams Cole, of Mansfield. In politics Mr. Clark has always been a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat. Had he been of the Republican faith, Mr. Clark could have been elected to most any office in the county or district, for he was one of the best lawyers in the state. For fifteen years he was a member of the State Board of Health. He has served as chairman and secretary of the Democratic County Committee. He was nominated several times for Representative in the Legislature, as well as District Attorney and Judge, but unfortunately for him he was on the wrong side of the fence, politically. He was secretary of the borough of Mansfield for many years, a trustee of the Normal School, and President of the Mansfield Hook and Ladder Company. Mr. Clark was not only a prominent and successful lawyer, but was always one of the progressive and public-spirited citizens of Mansfield.
