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. Please send in typed obituaries for people buried in our local cemeteries. If possible include name of newspaper and date. Send typed in your email or in attached Word files. Send to Joyce M. Tice (JoyceTice@aol.com) |
NOTE: Most of these obits say that the Beaver Meadows Cemetery in in Laceyville, which is incorrect. It is in Tuscarora Township with a Laceyville PO address.

MRS. ELIZABETH COBB - It is with feelings of regret
that we chronicle the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Cobb, who passed away at the
home of her son-in-law A. D. Steiger on Thursday evening, October 31, '12
(1912), aged 78 years, Mrs. Cobb had sought from her earliest days to have
her life under the sway and dominance of God's spirit. One of the many
wonderful thing about her was the remarkable combination, the perfect purity
of he piety and the sweet attractiveness by which she unconsciously drew men
and women under her magic influence. Transparent as a sunbeam, in her spirit
seemed to angelic to keep within the limits of her frail body, and many
times her face was as the face of Moses when she talked to God. She was not
afraid of death---on the contrary she longed to get "where she enjoyed rest"
as she often expressed it. She lived a quiet uneventful life ever sustained
by the conclusions of Christ and strengthened by the comfort of God. So
along the well worn, sunlit pathway of lowly service she walked the valley
of peace and finally entered the 'valley of the shadow of death' with a
shout of victory upon her lips. A short service was held at the home Monday
morning prior to starting for the family cemetery at Beaver Meadows. Her
pastor had charge of the services at home, church and cemetery. –Hettie

COTTRELL - Susan G Marbaker was born in Rhode Island November 30, 1816, and died at her home on Fowler Hill January 3, 1901. Her maiden name was Cottrell. She was a cousin of the late Reverend William H Olin of the Wyoming Conference, a very prominent and much loved minister. While quite young she came to Pennsylvania with her parents. She was united in marriage with Joseph Marbaker August 20, 1843. For about 55 years they lived together, he dying about four years ago the 25th of March. She was the mother of seven children, three boys and four girls, two dying in infancy. About 50 years ago they purchased the place where both of them died. It was then a dense wilderness. Mr. Marbaker cleared up his farm, and for a half century lived to enjoy it. Not long after their purchase at Fowler Hill, a union church was built at Beaver Meadow, nearby. Mr. And Mrs. Marbaker were deeply interested in the building of this church, and did much toward it. Not far from that time, she and her husband were united with the Wesleyan Methodist Church. Both of them remained faithful members of the same church until called to the church above. The writer, for his first pastorate, was appointed to the field, which included this point. Hence had had the privilege of her acquaintance a number of years ago. She was a woman of true religious life, quiet and unassuming, but kind and true, as a friend and a follower of Jesus. She lived long and witnessed many changes during her stay here. She leaves to friends a glorious legacy; not of money, but of Christian character and life. May those who are left to mourn be comforted by the same grace, which supported and kept her all the way of her earthly journey G.O.B (I assume is the George O. Beers who served at the church from 1873-1875). Contributed by Carol HOOSE Brotzman, Beaver Meadows church historian

ELIZABETH COBB - It is with feelings of regret that we chronicle the death
of Mrs. Elizabeth Cobb, who passed away at the home of her son in law A. D.
Steiger on Thursday evening, October 31, (1912), aged 78 years, Mrs. Cobb
had sought from her earliest days to have her life under the sway and
dominance of God's spirit. One of the many wonderful thing about her was the
remarkable combination, the perfect purity of the piety and the sweet
attractiveness by which she unconsciously drew men and women under her magic
influence. Transparent as a sunbeam, in her spirit seemed to angelic to keep
within the limits of her frail body, and many times her face was as the face
of Moses when she talked to God. She was not afraid of death---on the
contrary she longed to get "where she enjoyed rest" as she often expressed
it. She lived a quiet uneventful life ever sustained by the conclusions of
Christ and strengthened by the comfort of God. So along the well worn,
sunlit pathway of lowly service she walked the valley of peace and finally
entered the 'valley of the shadow of death' with a shout of victory upon her
lips. A short service was held at the home Monday morning prior to starting
for the family cemetery at Beaver Meadows. Her pastor had charge of the
services at home, church and cemetery. –An old newspaper clipping
