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)

The Christian Advocate - 1892
William MCCABE was born June 8, 1822, in County Monaghan, North Ireland,
and died at his home, in West Pittston, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, September
28, 1892. He came to this country in 1836, and in 1838 removed to
Bradford County. He married Ruth TOWNER December 8, 1842, and in
1871 took up his residence in West Pittston, where he resided until his
death. Mr. McCabe was the manager of the Lehigh Valley Company's
farms and lands in this place, and was popular with everyone, his genial
and kind manner winning all to him. Mr. McCabe was converted when
he was a young man, joined the Methodist Episcopal church, and has been
one of its most earnest and loyal supporters, ever ready with his money
and labor to contribute to its upbuilding. He was interested in the
cause of Christ at home and abroad. His piety was simple, yet radiant
with that joyfulness and cheer that made his presence a benediction.
For the past few years his health has been failing and he was a constant
sufferer, yet uncomplaining. He died in the faith. His funeral
services were conducted by his pastor at his late home and at his old home
in Bradford County, and were attended by throngs of people who had learned
to love and respect him. His remains were laid away in the family
lot near the house where he was married. Mr. McCabe is survived by
his wife and two sons, Wesley and James McCabe.
Rev. C. A. BENJAMIN
Note: William and his wife, Ruth (TOWNER) McCabe, are buried at
McCabe Farm Cemetery, Rome, Bradford County, Pennsylvania. Her parents:
Rev. Joseph and Amelia (PRATT) Towner, are buried here also.
