MRS. BERTHA CULP
Mrs. Bertha Culp died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Helen Baldwin, in
Erin on Dec. 1st, of paralysis, aged eight-six years and six months.
She left four daughters and one son.(Dec. 1895)
DEATH OF AN OLD RESIDENT
The opening day of the centennial year was marked by the death of one who
has long been a character in this valley, Harry Culp as he was called, which
event occurred at his residence at Hendy Hollow at six o’clock Saturday morning.
He was nearly seventy-four years of age, and it shows how far we are and yet how
near to those old times, then it is known that his mother, Rebecca Hendy, that
being her maiden name, one of the daughters of Col. John Hendy, was the first
white child that ever set its foot on the banks of the Chemung. Harry Culp
was born in the first house ever built by his grandfather here, standing on
about the spot where Joseph Hoffman’s residence is now located. He has
always lived in this neighborhood and vicinity and was always well known as
queer and strange sometimes, but always upright and to be depended upon.
He was apparently in good health but for a few moments before his death,
having gone to the well for a pail of water, from which he drank very heartily.
Presently his wife noticed that his face looked flushed and in a moment
afterwards he fell back dead. It was determined that heart disease was the
immediate cause thereof.
He leaves four daughters, one of them a resident of Elmira.
APPLETON, MARY
Mrs. Mary Appleton died at 2 o’clock, Tuesday afternoon at the Detention Hospital, aged eighty-two years. She is survived by three sisters, Mrs. Geroge Taylor and Mrs. Vine Briggs of Pennsylvania and Mrs. Myra Roland of the West, one brother, James Culp of Rochester.
PAYNE, HELEN
Mrs. Helen Payne, 88, widow of George Payne, resident of Horseheads, died
Wednesday, March 16, 1938, at the Home for the Aged, Elmira. She was a
great granddaughter of Col. John Hendy, the pioneer settler in Elmira.
Mrs. Payne is survived by two step-daughters, Mrs. Bert Matthews of Covington,
PA, Mrs. Myrtle Melhuish of Montrose, PA. Buriel in Scotchtown Cemetary,
Town of Erin.

DEATH CLAIMS OLDEST RESIDENT OF BREESPORT
Miss Susie M. Jones, 79, oldest resident of Breesport, died Monday, Feb. 12,
1940 in the same house in which she had resided since a child. She was a
member of the School Board for 21 years.
She cared for many children who were brought to her from the orphanage or
the County Farm and was known widely for her charitable deeds.
She is survived by a foster-daughter, Esther Greene, who has made her home
with her and cared for her during her declining years. She loved her four
foster grandchildren, but her pride was her foster son, Paul R. Jones, captain
of the S.S. Arkansas. He arrived by plane from Los Angeles, California,
immediately upon hearing of her death.
Breesport residents mourn the death of Miss Jones, who devoted her life to

Obituary Canton, March 4, 1898 – James Ferguson
The funeral of James Ferguson was held at the Granville Methodist Episcopal
church, Saturday, February 26, Rev Emery A Baldwin, a former pastor, officiated
He was born in County Armaugh, Ireland, November 2. 1898, and came to this
country in 1831 His parents, John and Jane Ferguson moved to Connecticut where
he engaged in work as a weaver. Five years later be came to Windfall and
purchased a farm. James spent four years in California from August, 1851. March
17, 1857, he was married to Miss Ellen Keeney. They moved to Tioga county, Pa.
and purchased a farm where is now located the town of Gleason. At a revival
meeting held in a Baptist church he was converted to God and joined the Wesleyan
Methodist church in 1865 he came to Windfall and pur-chased the farm on which he
has since lived.
In the summer of 1866 he united with the Methodist Episcopal church, in
which he has lived a faithful and beloved member until God called him home. He
was quiet and retiring in life, but his clear Christian experience and his manly
character made him a beloved and useful member of the church and community. The
esteem with which he was held was seen at the funeral where the church was
packed to its utmost. He will be greatly missed in the church and by a large
circle of friends, but most of all by his bereaved family. It was there that his
power was most greatly felt. His genial and loving heart and christian life made
the home a delightful place for the children and the stranger.
His life was well lived, and while his death came suddenly he was read to
go, leaving behind not a cloud of doubt as to his safety. The physician was
called Saturday and he died the following Wednesday. Everything that skill could
do was done. Many friends gathered to assist the family. They are grateful for
the many kindnesses extended during their sorrow. The gifts of flowers from
loving friends were large and beautiful. So our brother rests. He leaves a wife
and five children, Mrs. Clarence Packard, Myrt Ferguson, Mrs. Harry English,
Harvey L. Ferguson and Mrs. Merton Haflett. Sadly, vet hopefully, they await the
resurrection morn when a broken circle shall be united in heaven.

Hi Joyce,
I have an obituary for my 3rd great grandmother's
(Susannah Ellen Clark)'s brother Daniel. They are both children of Michael
and Matilda Clark. It says he was 77 when he died but Interment records
say 66. From our records I think 66 is the acurate age since it was given
by his wife Julia Ann Cummings Clark and is the history of his descendants.
Daniel died in Liberty twp., Mckean County, PA.

Hi Joyce - I finally found this obit of Dr. Bradford I didn't know if you had it or not - so am sening it along.
This obituary for Dr. Leonard J. Bradford was found in some papers of Ralph and Idella York's - It had the date Dec. 1921 written on it in Grandma York's (Estella Page York) handwriting. I believe Dr. Bradford was the doctor who delivered Grandma's Children - I can remember Grandma, Grandpa and my father Ralph York talking about "Old Doc Bradford" and his horse and buggy. I found it very interesting so I am including it in our York history. (I sent the original copy of the obituary to Leon Richard Bradford, his grandson - Grace York 2000)
DR. LEONARD J. BRADFORD
Dr. Leonard J. Bradford died last Friday night, following an illness of one week. His death occurred at the homestead near Sylvania, built by his father eighty-three years ago, later occupied by himself and now his son Bayard Bradford. He was born in Rutland, a son of Joseph R. and Mary Monroe Bradford, moving to Sylvania with his parents when he was two years of age. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in medicine and attended Hadnemann College. He was married to Alice I. Dartt, of East Charleston, September l, 1875 who has been deceased twenty years.
Dr. Bradford was a Civil War veteran, having enlisted in January, 1862, as a private, joining Co. A, 171 Pa. V.I. and in January, 1863, was detailed to Little Washington, N.C., as an attendant in the general hospital, remaining about six months. He was employed during his entire enlistment except when on detailed service, on scouting, skirmishing, and general guard and garrison duty, receiving his Honorable Discharge at Harrisburg, Pa. in August, 1863.
He was a direct descendant of William Bradford, who came to this country in the ship "Mayflower." His maternal grandfather, Thomas Monroe, served as surgeon in the Revolutionary War, he was captured by the British and held as a prisoner in England. His wife's maternal grandfather, Lent Mott, served in the war of 1812. Her great grandfather Colonel Justice Dartt, served in the Continental Army in the Revolutionary War as a colonel and was the original setter of "Dartt Settlement" in Charleston.
Dr. Bradford was a member of Troy Lodge of Masons and of the Knights Templar in Canton. He has been a practicing physician for the past fifty years and was dearly beloved by a legion of friends.
The decedent is survived by four sons: Bayard G. and Richard C., of Sylvania, Joseph G., of Barnesboro, Pa., and Carl M. of Forksville, Pa; also by one brother William H. Bradford of South Sioux City, Neb. The funeral was held Monday afternoon at the late home, with Masonic rites. Rev. A.G. Cameron officiated. Burial was in Oak Hill cemetery.

Obituary of Ellen Douglas Ferguson - Canton August 21, 1908
Ellen Douglas Ferguson, eldest daughter of Hiram and Narcissa Keeney, was born in Del. Co., N. Y., Jan 1,1836, and died near Windfall, Aug., 10 1903.
Her parents moved to Windfall while she was a young child, later they went to
Waterville, Lycoming Co.; here she grew to womanhood and taught school
for seven years. She was married to James Ferguson, March 17, 1857, by Rev.
J. Moorhead. They began life together at Union, Tioga Co. where they spent
eight years of happy life. In 1865 they returned to Windfall and purchased
the farm upon which they lived the remainder of their lives. Mr. Ferguson
departed for the better land five years ago, Feb. 23, 1898.
To them were born six children five of whom remain, Allie, wife of Clarence
Packard, of Tacoma, Washington; Myrt, Bertha, wife of Harry English, Harvey,
of Williamsport, and Cora, wife of Merton Haflett.
The funeral services were held at the Windfall M. E. church. Rev. Emory A.
Baldwin, a former pastor, now of Union City, Michigan, preached, with him and
assisting the pastor were Rev. H. B Allen of East Canton and Rev. C. W. Wasson,
of Williamsport. The large congregation unable to get into the
church, was a tribute to the high esteem in which she was held.
Mrs. Ferguson gave her heart to God while young and united with the Methodist church. Her life was of the quiet yet deep spiritual nature. Her faithful ness to the church together with her loving heart and cheerful spirit won her [the friendship of all. The best work of her life was accomplished in the home. As a devoted Christian mother she was instrumental in the conversion of her entire family, all of whom are Christians. Her husband found in her a helpmate. Under every burden of life she placed a willing hand, into every dark experience she brought the light of a strong faith and a clear experience. Her last days were spent in ill health that kept her from the active life of earlier days, yet no cloud came over her faith or joy.
The pastor found her a strong support all his works. Her life closed quietly
without suffering. A pure life ceased to in the home. A redeemed spirit took
flight to the land of rest. The departed left sad but hopeful friends. We
will see her again.

Hi Joyce,
Enjoying the website as usual. I found some info. that might help someone
else tracing E.B. Georgia V. He died in Olean on Dec. 13, 1886 & was supposed to
be buried in Woodlawn Cem. in Elmira. The Cem. said he was not there in Section
A with his wife Elizabeth Butts Georgia who died Jan. 30, 1891, their son Grant
E. Georgia who died Feb. 23, 1850 (& was reburied in Woodlawn Nov. 7, 1865) and
their daughter, Emily G. Bramblee who died June 17, 1913. However, a
newspaper clipping from the Elmira Advertiser of Dec. 17, 1886 (Friday) reads:
"The remains of E.B. Georgia,formerly an Elmira resident, were brought to this
city yesterday from Olean for interment. the funeral party was met at the
station by Undertaker Hubbell & the Rev. Dr. Mills of the First M. E. church &
escorted to Woodlawn where a brief service was held. Mr. Georgia was sixty-three
years of age, & died of apoplexy. He left Elmira in 1871 & established himself
in the lumber business in Olean (Cattaraugus, NY)."
I have notified the office at Woodlawn. A photo of the Gravesites in Lot 1
Section A, which is 24 X 24 was Deed 47 & purchased Feb. 12, 1862 for $45.20.
Grant is in Plot
1, Elizabeth is in Plot 4 & Emily is in Plot 9. Plot 3 is marked off & I would
believe E. B. Georgia is buried there.
Hope this helps someone else.
Respectfully,
Mary Kolodziej, Minoa, NY

Hi there...
My name is Lori McGuire...and my mother came across this obituary in some things of hers the other day, unfortunately, we have no idea what newspaper it may have been in, or even who wrote it....I have been working on our family tree (and really had been banging my head against the wall in regards to my mother's family....until now!) Hugh Stevens is my great great grandfather, and thanks to your info on the site, I was able to locate him, his wife, and numerous children on your 1880 census!! Thank you so much for all you are doing with this site...I am sure at times it seems like a thankless task, but be assured, there are MANY of us out here that think you are just the GREATEST!! I hope the info in this obituary may help someone else as well...Thank you again!!
~~Hugh Stevens~~
Hugh Stevens was born January 1st, 1835 in the town of
Goldsythinee, Cornwall, England. His father and mother were members of the
church of Christ. The father was removed by death when Hugh was only about
2 months old, leaving him under the sole protection of a widowed mother who
endeavored by God's grace and help to bring her son up in the way he should go.
Thus he grew up to manhood under the instruction of a PIOUS MOTHER. In the
year 1857 he was married to Miss Caroline Thomas. He found in her a true
wife and companion, ever ready to share with him his joys and sorrows.
In 1872 Brother Stevens, anxious to provide for the
temporal welfare of his family, made up his mind to come to this country, so in
March of 1872, bidding good-by to his loving wife and children, and relatives,
and to the land that gave him birth, he started for America. Having a safe
voyage across the Atlantic he arrived in Arnot, PA on the 16th day of March,
where he was very kindly received by his brother, Mr. Frederick Passmore.
In about seven months after his family were safely
brought over to him. At this time business was very dull all over the
country. But through the exertion of both Brother and Sister Stevens they
weathered the storm, and everything bid fair to getting along better and easier.
For the last four years, Brother Stevens did not enjoy
the best of health, but was cheerful under all circumstances.
On Sunday, March 16th of the present year 1882, he
complained to his wife and others that he was not feeling as well as usual.
On Monday morning he went to his work but was compelled to quit and return home,
when he was taken very sick. Doctors came and did all that medical skill
could do to try and restore him, but all was of no avail; the time had
come that he should cease all earthly labor and leave this world of sickness and
pain, and go to be with Jesus which is far better.
Immediately after coming to this country he met with the
people of God and at once connected himself with the P. M. Church of this place.
He was an earnest worker for the cause of Christ.
During the past two years it has been my privilege to
meet with Brother Stevens very often in the Class Meeting and other means of
grace, and I always found him willing to do what he could for the advancement of
the cause of Christ. He was always fond of a good lively meeting but he
has gone where he can sing forever the song of Moses and the Lamb.

December 24, 1908 Thursday paper, The Bradford Star
Orrin A. SOPER died Dec. 15, 1908 at his home in Towanda, after a long
illness of gangrene, in his 76th year. Deceased was a native of
Burlington, where he was born March 28, 1833. When the civil war broke out
he was residing in Ulster from which town he enlisted in Company B, 141st Pa V
abd served three years. Up until that command was mustered out of service.
He was promoted from private to corporal and in every way an excellent soldier.
At the battle of the Wilderness he had a peculiar experience. Mr. Soper
wore long chin whiskers. A bullet fired by the enemy came close to his
chin, and as it *biled through his beard, it gathered a coil about in and
tore the hair from his face, ruining his appendage and making a trace as clean
as a razor. The ordeal was a painful one and Mr. Soper remarked that he "
thought his head was cut off." In the same battle he was wounded in the
leg. His wife, five sons, and one daughter survive him. Funeral
services were held at his home on Mechanic street Sunday afternoon, six members
of his regiment; Geo II GRANGER, Jao II CHAFFEE, Jno N. CALIFF, D. J. SWEET,
Clarence W. COLE and Elisha COLE acting as pall bearers. Interment was in
soldiers' plot Oak Hill cemetery.
