| 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)

Obituary from the Northern Banner 1835:
Died--in Smithfield, on the 8th of June, inst.
Mr. Lemuel ORTON, in the forty third year of his age.
The circumstances of Mr. Orton's death are
very peculiar, and distressing to a sensitive family. He was employed
in tending the sawmill of Horace Williston, Esq. In the early part
of the day Mrs. Orton went into the mill and found him attending to his
duties, advised with him of some of their domestic concerns and left him
apparently in good health, and cheerfully enjoying his usual flow of lively
animation. Her distress then can be better conceived than described,
when within about fifteen minutes from the period of her leaving the mill
she received the appalling news that her husband was a corpse. He
was found laying on his face lifeless in front of a bench on which he occasionally
sat when fatigued; and it is supposed that his death was caused by a fit
of the apoplexy. Mr. Orton was an active, industrious and useful
citizen. In the eventful war he made an exhibit of his patriotism
by rendering two years' service as a Volunteer in defence of his country's
rights. In 1813 he was engaged with Perry in his memorable battle
on Lake Erie, and in the vessel on board which Mr. Orton fought there were
but five men beside himself left that were able to perform duty.
In 1814 he joined Gen. Brown's army through the various bloody fights that
occurred in that summer's campaign. He has left a wife and four young
children to mourn his loss and struggle with the vicissitudes of life unaided
by his manly energies.
