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.

BALDWIN - Major Elisha G. Baldwin
Last of the Original Captains of 141st New York Volunteers
Major Elisha G. Baldwin, a Brave Officer, Survived all his Brother Captains of the Recruit, but Rests at Last
The funeral of Elisha G. Baldwin will take place tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 o'clock at the late residence, No. 207 Spaulding street. His demise was primarily due to paralysis, the hand of death touching the body at 4:30 o'clock Friday afternoon. Elisha Baldwin was born in Rush Run hotel at Ridgebury, Bradford county, Pa., September 8, 1833. He was a son of Lathrupt Baldwin, born in Newtown [Elmira] January 14, 1794, and Sally Griswold Baldwin, born in Chemung, February 17, 1796. The grandfather of Elisha was Isaac Baldwin, Jr. of Norwich, Conn., who was born there in 1776, and came to Chemung valley in its early settlement. The father of Elisha and his family moved to Elmira, or rather returned, for they had once resided here, in 18434, and lived in the old courthouse on Lake street. Later the building became the city hall, and was moved to Market street. It is now occupied by the Alpha club, and owned by the B.P.O.E. At the age of twelve years Elisha left his father's bed and board, and went to work for William Jenkins, down the river road. That was in 1845. During the winter of 1850 he attended the Elmira academy. His brother, Lathrop, and Charles Fairman conducted the Elmira Republican. He went in to his brother's print shop in March, 1850, and remained there five years. Subsequently he was foreman of the Republican. On October 23, 1855, he married Elizabeth Curtis, at Charles Fairman's residence on High street. In 1856 he left the Republican and became foreman on the Advertiser, remaining there until 1862. O his army and subsequent service he recently wrote the following, which was found in his diary: In August, 1862, in company with James McMillan and Robert F. Stewart, we opened a recruiting office on Lake street, and in one week went into barracks with a full company of 100 men and three officers. and we were Company C, 141st New York Volunteers. My brother, Lathrop, was mortally wounded at Peach Tree Creek, July 20, 1864. All the officers except myself and one second lieutenant of my regiment having been killed or wounded in this battle I could remain with my dying brother but a short time, and I never saw him any more. Lathrop was buried in Woodlawn cemetery, and his memory is perpetuated in the naming of the Baldwin post in his honor. During the last days of the war I was on duty in Elmira under General B.F. Tracy. After the war I went into the oil country, where I stayed until 1867, when I returned to Elmira. Then I went again into the Advertiser office, after a short try at the insurance business, and the paper was then published by Seymour Fairman. Luther Caldwell and Colonel James S. Thurston. I was placed in charge of the press, and continued there until 1869, when I received an appointment as assistant assessor of internal revenue. I.S. Copeland, who was by helper as pressman, succeeded me in that position. I remained in the revenue office until 1877, when I was succeeded by Captain E.T.
