| 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. |

HARRISON Jefferson
Wellsboro Gazette, Tioga, PA - Thurs., Dec. 31, 1903, Pg 4 [Extraction]
Jefferson Harrison, Esq., died at his residence, corner of Central
Avenue and Pearl Street, Sunday morning [12/27/1903] about 5 o'clock after
an illness of several weeks, of cancer of the stomach. He was in
his 66th year and was one of Wellsboro's most prominent and best known
citizens. Jefferson Harrison was born in Wellsboro, July 24, 1838.
His father, William Harrison, came from New Jersey to Wellsboro in 1833.
Mr Harrison received his education in the common schools and at the "Old
Academy," so fondly remembered by the older inhabitants of this borough.
In the winter of 1857, while Mr. Harrison was in Northern Minnesota engaged
in surveying for the Hudson Bay Company, he was taken sick with typhoid
fever. During his illness in a camp in the wilderness both of his
feet were badly frozen, necessitating the amputation of both members.
Soon after returning home in 1862 he began to read law in the office of
the late Hon. Henry Sherwood, and was admitted to the bar in 1864.
He at once entered on his profession, which he had since followed and was
known as one of the ablest members of the Tioga County bar. Mr. Harrison
possessed marked natural ability for the profession of the law, which had
been highly trained and developed by many years of rigid application and
successful practice. He had attained a prominent place in the legal
arena in this section of the State as a counselor and as a corporation
attorney. As a lawyer, his strongest traits of character were his
honesty, his sound knowledge of the law, his good judgement of men and
facts and his logical presentation of a legal proposition in behalf of
his client. At the time of his death, Mr Harrison held many important
positions of trusts for railroad and coal companies. He was connected
with the Pine Creek Railway Company for many years and had been president
of that company since 1897. He was also secretary and treasurer of
the Wellsboro Water Company, an enterprize in which he took great personal
pride in its development and improvements. ... The deceased
is survived by his wife and one son, Mark, aged about 11 years. One
brother, Leonard Harrison, and one sister, Sarah Harrison, survive him.
Funeral services were held at the house on Tuesday afternoon, Rev. A. C.
Shaw officiating. ... Wellsboro Cemetery.

his home here Sunday evening and the funeral was held yesterday afternoon
at 3 o'clock at the Presbyterian Church. Rev. Dr. George B. VanWaters,
rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church, officiating; interment in the Wellsboro
Cemetery. ... Leonard Harrison was born Jan. 10, 1850, in Delmar
Township, Tioga County PA and he spent his entire life in Tioga county,
attending the public schools until he was 15 years of age. His business
life was begun in the Wellsboro postoffice while the Hon. Hugh young was
postmaster. He learned the carpenter's trade with his father and
continued in that line up to 1878, and for the years thereafter, he was
County Commissioners' Clerk. While he was thus employed he had been
devoting considerable attention to the lumber business and for a number
of years he entered largely into that industry. He was also interested
in the coal business for over ten years. ..... Mr. Harrison
was one of Tioga County's best known and respected citizens. He was
always eager to contribute his time, energy and finances to the betterment
of his home community. ....

HASTINGS - Nearly three weeks ago Mrs. Clarence [Mary C.] W.
Webb, wife of Dr. C. W. Webb, was taken ill. Her trouble was pronounced
peritonitis. The attack did not appear severe and the sufferer appeared
to be on the road to recovery. Early last Monday morning she awoke with
a scream and complained of excruciating pains. An examination was immediately
made by her husband, who discovered that she could not live but a few hours.
It was a terrible discovery, and the Doctor at once sent for Dr. R. B.
Smith, of Tioga. That gentleman arrived soon after, but could give the
sorrowing husband no hope. The disease was beyond human skill and death
must soon ensue. This sad intelligence was imparted to the sufferer, who
was steadily growing weaker. She had her three little boys brought to her
bedside, and informed them that they would soon be without a mother. The
parting was peculiarly sad, and those present could not repress their tears.
She lingered until one o’clock Tuesday morning, when she peacefully died.
Death in any form brings its burden of sadness, but the weight of sorrow
is increased when a young mother who had always been the picture of health
is compelled to part with her husband and little ones. It is an event which
casts a gloom over the community. Mrs. Webb was born in this borough and
was the youngest daughter of Mr. H. S. Hastings. She was 32 years of age,
and was united in marriage to Dr. C. W. Webb about ten years ago. “Mame”
Webb was an estimable lade, generous to a fault, possessed a happy disposition
and a devoted wife and mother. The bereaved husband and family, who are
bowed down with grief, have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community.
The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon at four o’clock from the residence
on Water Street. Rev. A. W. Snyder officiated. The members of the High
School graduating class, to which Mrs. Webb belonged, sent a handsome basket
of flowers to the house - their last offering to a former classmate so
suddenly stricken by death. - Wellsboro Gazette, 1 October 1891
