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)

Many of the obituaries for East Herrick Cemetery say Herrickville Cemetery. Since the Herrickville Cemetery has had no burials since about 1907, that is inaccurrate. We are relocating all obits that say Herrickville Cemetery to East Herrick Cemetery where the burials are actually occurring.

Family get-togethers were rich in love and laughter. There was always room for at least one more little one. His nieces and nephews were high on his list of priorities whether near or far. When blessed with his grandchildren, life took on new and wonderful joy. Still teaching his love of Jesus, his children and grandchildren learned many lessons of love, understanding, patience, kindness and faith toward his fellow man and for each other.

NICHOLS Asa
Hon. Asa Nichols Dead - The sudden death of Hon. Asa Nichols of this place last Saturday morning was quite a severe shock to the many who were intimately acquainted with the deceased.  He was a man scarcely ever sick and had never made known the fact that he was suffering from heart trouble.  He was around as usual in the early part of the forenoon and had just returned from Herbert Wilson's, whose wife was his adopted daughter. It is thought that her critical condition had worried him, and the thought that possibly she would not be able to rally was the cause of his death.  He was found by one of the small children lying on the ground in the door yard near his harness shop, where he had gone for the purpose of sawing up some old boards for kindling.  The funeral will be held at his late residence this Wednesday at 10 a.m.;  interment at East Herrick.  Aug. 24, 1895

PORTER Harriet M. Nichols
Harriet M., wife of Hon. Asa Nichols, died at her home in this place, Wednesday evening, December 19, 1888, aged fifty-nine years, four months and nine days.
Mrs. Nichols was born in Brookfield, Litchfield Co., Connecticut,  August 10, 1829, and when sixteen years of age, with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. M.B. Porter, came to Herrick township, this county, and in 1850 was married to Hon. Asa Nichols. Her death is not only a severe blow to her bereaved husband and daughter who deeply mourn her loss, but to the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which she was an earnest, active member for many years, and to a host of friends, numbered only by her acquaintance, which extended over a greater portion of the country than that of most women, from the fact that she was engaged in the millinery business for several years, in Montrose as well as LeRaysville. The extreme suffering which she was called to endure for the past few months, was borne with the same patience and cheerfulness that had characterized her entire life, never complaining, but anxiously awaiting the rest that is promised to the faithful. In this sad affliction the family have the heartfelt sympathy of all, relatives, friends and neighbors. The funeral services, conducted by Rev. D.D. King, assisted by Rev. W.D. Jones, were observed on Saturday following her demise at the M.E. Church, where, notwithstanding the extreme cold, a large congregation of relatives and friends gathered to pay the last act of respect to her whose work on earth is done.  Burial in the cemetery at East Herrick.

WALKER –MERINDA COLEMAN, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Levi Walker was born April 8, 1823.  She was one of seven children, five sisters and two brothers, three sisters and one brother still living.  The brother is Frank Walker of Rushville; the sisters are Mrs. Roena Coleman of Rushville, Mrs. Elizabeth Schoonover and Mrs. Amanda Martin of Standing Stone.  Merinda was married to Archibald Coleman in 1839.  The fruit of this union was nine children; Lucena who married Edward Burbeck of Friendsville and died a few months later; Jane who married George Titus; Levi, of Lestershire, N.Y.; Charles, who lives on Lime Hill; Libbie who married James Sharer of Stevensville, but is now a widow; Russell, who died 12 years ago; Hattie, who married Joseph E. Harris of Camptown; Melvin who lives in Cold Creek and Edward who lives at Stony Point.  Thus mother Coleman had a large family, responsibilities and privileges and did her work well.  As a wife mother and neighbor she was counted excellent.  Her children and grandchildren call her blessed.  She was moderate, calm, active, wise and careful; very loving and merciful toward all.  Her family administration was generally proper and successful.  Her neighbors and acquaintances speak respectfully about her.  Her husband who labored, admired and rejoiced with her for years, left for the eternal world about eight years and a half ago.  This was a source of great sorrow to mother Coleman.  She professed to have been converted a number of years since and she quietly held to her Savior during all these years.  She greatly delighted in personal contact with god, in Jesus Christ by faith and in prayerful and Holy Communion with the same.  Her love to God and her interest in heaven grew rapidly of late.  She lived with her daughter, Mrs. Harris, in Camptown for the last six years.  Her afflictions and sufferings, especially at times were very severe for a number of years.  She endured all these loyally to the will of God, waiting for his eternal weight of glory in the heavenly world.  The end came very suddenly Friday, Sept. 27, 1901 about four o’clock in the afternoon of heart failure.  Providentially her daughter, Mrs. Titus was present with Mrs. Harris during the day and hence at the time when the mother departed.  It was a matter of trouble for a few moments and she was gone for a blessed immortality.   The funeral services were held at the house Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Isaac Jenkins, assisted by Rev. Mr. Quick.  The remains were interred in the family plot in East Herrick Cemetery.  The music was furnished by Mr. Smith, Miss Hammerly, Miss Fuller and Mr. Saxton with Mrs. Tiffany as organist.  The courteous and pleasant undertaker was from Wyalusing.  Mr. and Mrs. Harris and other relatives are exceedingly thankful to all the friends who so kindly helped and comforted them in their time of sorrow.
