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.

BURT - The death of Mrs Francis Ellery Fitch occurred at her home, No.256 West Fifth street, yesterday day morning. This news was passed among her wide circle of friends yesterday. Many had an insight of her sterling qualities of mind and heart and these felt the loss keenly as a personal one. In the home she loved and in the church where her work was so beneficial this irreparable loss will be heartfelt. Surrounded by her loved ones, she quietly said: "Good-bye." and passed peacefully away to a better land where a resting place awaits her. Expressing no tear for the unseen, smiling and loving, she only regretted that she could no longer remain for those left behind. This had always been her first thought, and those who have enjoyed her hospitality, which was almost boundless, as well as the more intimate circle who make up the home,, feel that the light has gone out. Every care and thoughtfulness which love could suggest were ministered to her,, but all proved unavailing, all was in vain for the disease which had been preying upon her vitality, conquered.

Jr., and Miss Nellie G., the other son residing in the south, be-sides brothers and sisters who will never find her place quite filled.

BUTTON
–BEVERLY ALETA “BABE” (BUTTON) ERICKSON, age 87 of Elmira Heights, passed
away peacefully on Wednesday, March 4, 2015 following declining health. She
was the only child born to the late Clifford and Ruth (Fuller) Button on
January 15, 1928 in Wellsville, NY. Beverly enjoyed an idyllic childhood
roller-skating around the streets of Wellsville as well as riding her horse
High Tones Lady throughout the countryside. After graduating from Wellsville
High School in 1945, she attended her parents Alma Mater, Alfred University.
She was a member of Pi Alpha Pi Sorority where she formed many lifelong
friends, all of whom she treasured until the end. In 1949, after graduating
from AU with a Bachelor's Degree she took a job teaching 7th grade science
in a little village called Elmira Heights, NY. Her classroom happened to be
across the hall from a handsome "local boy" who was the 7th grade Social
Studies teacher. Thus began a love affair that was united in marriage on
June 28th, 1952 and lasted just shy of 63 wonderful years. After "retiring"
from teaching to focus on raising her growing family, Beverly remained
active in the local community. She was a faithful member at Oakwood United
Methodist Church where she coordinated the food pantry facilitating its
growth from a holiday program for the needy year round. She devoted her time
and talents to being a creative and entertaining troop leader for The Girl
Scouts, was a member of The Home Bureau as well as coordinated read-a-thons
at local schools for the Multiple Sclerosis Society. Beverly's interests
were as numerous as they were varied. She felt most at peace outside taking
in the splendor of nature, whether it was walking in the woods, lazing on
the beach of her "Valhalla" on Lake Nosbonsing Ontario, Canada or creating a
masterpiece for all to see in her flower gardens. People would often remark,
"Oh, you live in the red house with all of the flowers!" One of her greatest
achievement was her impact she had in the lives of her family, friends and
even strangers. Her outgoing "chatty" nature often inspired others to
recognize their own potential for growth and inner talents. She was a strong
willed independent woman who often said whatever she was thinking. Her
scientific knowledge, creative mind, kind heart and the sparkle in her eyes
inspired others to think outside the box. Her ultimate achievement and what
she was most proud of was her legacy, her children, grandchildren and great
grandchildren. She left this world giving her family and friends the peace
of knowing that they were loved and appreciated. Beverly is survived by her
loving and devoted husband, Kenneth J. Erickson; beloved children: Sheryl
Capozzi of Liverpool, NY; Alan (Mary) Erickson of Elmira Heights, NY; Kevin
(Norma) Erickson of Cuba, NY; Alyssa (Raymond) McGoldrick of Cooperstown,
NY; "Deema", to her adored grandchildren: Aubrey and Emily Capozzi; Joshua,
Jonas (Amy) and Brian Erickson; Zachary Erickson, Sarah (Dave) Wing, Katie
(Jared) Morgan; Aisling, Ciara, Fiona and Anya McGoldrick; much loved great
grandchildren: Adrianna, Angelyna and Jovanni; Olivia; Brayden and Logan;
Matthew and Ava; Madison, Parker and Evelyn. Family and friends are invited
to call at the Oakwood United Methodist Church, 212 Oakwood Avenue, Elmira
Heights, NY on Thursday, March 12 from 4:00 to 7:00 PM or on Friday, March
13th from 10:00 to 11:00 AM. A celebration of life will follow the Friday
morning visitation. Pastors Fred Dyer and John McConnell will officiate.
Interment will follow in the Woodlawn Cemetery. The family would like to
thank with heartfelt gratitude to those who cared for Beverly. In lieu of
flowers, memorial gifts may be directed to Border Buddies Ministries Inc.
Team # 32 P.O. Box # 1254 Elmira, NY. Arrangements have been entrusted to
