| 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. |

Mother and Two Sons Burned - Kerosene Oil Explosion Caused Three Deaths
at Little Marsh Sunday
Lewis, aged six years, and Francis, aged five years, sons of Mr. and
Mrs. Dewey La Point were burned to death and their mother, aged 28 years,
was fatally burned, when the La Point bungalow, at Little Marsha was destroyed
early Saturday morning. Mrs. La Point died at the Blossburg hospital about
9 o’clock Saturday night. Mrs. La Point used kerosene to start a
fire about 6 o’clock. The can exploded, burning Mrs. La Point and setting
the house on fire. The children were sleeping in an adjoining room. Mr.
La Point, who is employed by Joseph and Harry Davis, owners of the farm
on which he was at work some distance away in the Davis barn. Neighbors,
attracted by Mrs. La Point’s screams and the blazing home, attempted to
rescue the children, but their efforts were in vain. The Davis brothers
purchased the farm from Joseph Cooper and the transfer was completed only
a few days ago. This is the fourth time within two years that the use of
kerosene in starting a fire has caused an explosion which resulted in death
to Little Marsh residents. Mr. La Point left home to do the morning
chores and was obliged to go some distance from the house. Soon after his
departure his wife made ready to prepare breakfast and was pouring kerosene
into the kitchen stove when the can exploded in her hands. Knocked
to the floor, she lay helpless with fire all about her, until neighbors
made their way into the kitchen, but they were unable to enter the bedroom
adjoining to rescue the boys. Bessie Dexter, 10 year old daughter of Mrs.
La Point by a former marriage lives at the home of her grandfather, Gus
Freeman, Jr., of Knoxville. Besides their father and the half sister, the
boys are survived by their grandfather, Gus Freeman, Jr., their great grandfather,
Gus Freeman, Sr. several aunts, including Mrs. Metta Hunter, Mrs. Augusta
Gee, Mrs. Esther Smith all of Knoxville. The funeral will be held this
afternoon at 2 o’clock at Little Marsh; burial in the Knoxville cemetery.
Until just before her death Mrs. La Point was conscious and was able to
tell her relatives the story of the tragic happenings of Saturday morning.
As the kerosene touched the fuel a terrific explosion blew the stove to
pieces, shattered the oil can and showered everything with blazing oil
said Mrs. La Point. Attracted to the scene by the woman’s screams
and the noise of the explosion, Mr. La Point and neighbors threw snow on
Mrs. La Point and tried vainly to enter the bedroom adjoining the kitchen
where the boys were asleep. They broke the windows, when it was found passageway
through the doors was impossible, but at every attempt were driven back
by raging flames. In spite of burns which covered more than half
her body Mrs. La Point tried to break away from restraining hands and go
into the house to rescue her sons. Mr. La Point, who heard one of the lads
scream, was frantic and only the strong arms of men were able to prevent
him from entering the blazing house. When the fire had ended, the
bodies of the boys could be reached, one was found near the door. The other
child was found lying on the bed, apparently having died in his sleep.
Mrs. La Point’s maiden name was ADDIE FREEMAN and she was born in Knoxville
October 11, 1900, daughter of Augustus and BESSIE BRIGGS FREEMAN. She received
her early education in the Knoxville school and affiliated with the Knoxville
Baptist church. About eight years ago she was married to Dewey La
Point and about a year after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. La Point moved
to Little Marsh. Besides her husband, daughter, and parents, she
is survived by four brothers, Howard and Basil Freeman, of Knoxville, John
Freeman of Wellsboro; Curry Freeman of Corning; two sisters, Miss Abbie
Freeman and Mrs. Hugh Backus, of Roulette, her grandfather, Augustus Freeman,
Sr., of Knoxville; several aunts, including Mrs. Metta Hunter, Mrs. Augusta
Gee, Mrs. Esther Smith and Mrs. Elsie Sawyer, of Knoxville Of the four
explosions resulting fatally in Little Marsh, this is the most disastrous,
taking a toll of three lives. The three previous tragedies were the death
of Mr. Ray Leach, who died August 10, 1928, of burns sustained when she
poured kerosene into her kitchen stove, Mrs. Harry Davis, wife of one of
the owners of the farm on which the La Point tragedy occurred, who was
burn to death two years ago last November when a lamp exploded, Miss Dorothy
Mack, whose death was similar to Mrs. La Point’s.

HUMPHREY Polly
Wellsboro Agitator - January 24, 1882
Mrs. Wass, wife of William Wass, died on Sunday last at her home in
Chatham, in eighty fifth year. She had been in feeble health for
many years. Mrs. Wass was born at Elmira, New York in 1797, when
that place was hardly a hamlet. She was married to Mr. Wass in 1818.
In 1830 they moved into Chatham township. At that time there was
only one public road in the township and but one span of horses - the property
of Reuben Cloos, who was at one time engaged in the manufacture of pearl-ash.
At the time of her death Mrs. Wass had been a professor of religion for
fifty years and she has now joined the Church triumphant and has left a
most worthy example as a wife, a mother and a Christian. She lived
to raise up a large family of children. The family circle was not
broken until about six years ago when a daughter died. The rest of
her children - six boys and three girls - are all living, as well as their
father who is 87 years old. There are but few people who live to
enjoy sixty-four years of married life, as Mr. and Mrs. Wass did.
