Deeded as Old Union Cemetery |
The following list is part of the Tioga County
Cemetery Inscriptions– Volume 1. Cemetery read and published 1970s.
Reprinted with Permission of Rhoda ENGLISH Ladd.
Though there are four large cemeteries here, this, the oldest, has been neglected to extent that it is a mass of briars and weeds, holes and gullies. Stones have sunk into the ground, toppled over and, some used to fill holes.

Here are the names and dates of the Howard ancestors in Blossburg Cemeteries that are _not_ included in the Cemetery indices on line. Please add their names to the listings.
*Arbon Cemetery*
Hannah Carroll Howard 1828 - 1915
Elmore Carroll Howard 1898 - 1926
Samuel Carroll Howard 1856 - 1938
Jane Howard 1864 - 1948
M. Zoe Howard 1884 - 1967
*Blossburg Cemetery (Oldest)
This cemetery has a variety of names: Old Cemetery.
Old Union Cemetery and probably others It is now managed by the
Borough. I have suggested to them that they decide what it is called
and post a sign at the cemetery to identify it.
*
Asher Howard 1858 - 1882
This entry for Asher was probably missed by the reader for the same reason we walked past it about a dozen times without seeing it. The name Frank Howard is carved on the front side of the obelisk facing the road. The name Asher Howard is carved on the side facing St. Cemetery. There is an unmarked head stone leaning against the back of the obelisk that I a suspect is for Henry Keagle Howard. Alas no proof.
We are enjoying beautiful weather in Belleville. I hope you are having the same in Tioga county.
