Joyce's Search Tip - January 2008 


Do You Know that you can search just the Obituaries on the site by using the three County Specific Obituary selections in the Partitioned search engine at the bottom of the Current What's New Page? You can narrow your search by including a key word in the cemetery name or a township name in addition to the surname you search. Then select the Find All Words option. 
You'll also find obituary and other newspaper clippings using Clippings partition. Additional clippings can be found in the Birth, Marriage, and some other partitions. 
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)

BRACE -Nancy Brace McKean. At Rest, After a Long Life of Eighty-seven Years.  Mrs. Nancy Brace McKean expired at the home of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. R. W. Budd, on Redington Avenue, on Sunday, March 10, 1901, about noon, after a brief illness, aged 87 years. Most careful was all the kindly care and attention she received in this pleasant and luxurious home where she died.  Nancy Brace was born in the log house built by her father-William Brace, in 1806. Her long life expanded as a girl in the busy duties of the pioneer life, and she grew into a rugged womanhood.   She married James McKean, and occupied many years her home on the farm. Her immediate family have all "Passed on," only her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Budd, her son-in-law, Mark McDowell, her grandchildren, Lucy McKean Snediker and her brother, and her daughter Lauretta’s son, McDowell. All were in attendance at their grandmother’s funeral, whose face looked so calm and peaceful as she slept her last sleep.  She was ever a faithful adherent of the faith of her father, experienced so many times in the glowing promises of the Bible, and voiced by the poet heart:  "That not one life shall be destroyed, Or cast as rubbish to the void,  When God hath made the pile complete."  The funeral was held on Tuesday, March 12th, at 10 o’clock, a.m., at the home of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Budd, who did so much for her during these last months of her life. Born in the log house, yet when she died, after her long life of heroic struggle it was beautiful to think of her close, so peaceful, and with such loving hearts and willing hands to render the willing service, amid such comforts. Rev. Amanda Deyo, the Universalist pastor conducted the service, assisted by Rev. E. P. Morse, who uttered words in prayer full of the Gospel grace and love.  Miss Laura Wheeler sang very sweetly "Asleep in Jesus."   The burial was in the cemetery near her old home. Her sister, Electa, now 90 years of age, was too feeble to attend, as was also her brother William, but her brothers, Stephen and Diton, and her sister, Martha Bullock, saw her laid away in the last sad resting place.  TGR 1901
