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.

DEAD WHILE SWEEPING HIS WALK
Moses D. Crandell, Resident of Elmira Heights Succumbs to Heart Dilitation in
Front of His Home Today. "While sweeping the sidewalk in front of his
home, 3081 Oakwood Avenue in Elmira Heights this morning. Mrs. Moses D.
Crandell sank to the walk and expired before aid could reach him. He was 72
years old and death resulted from dilatation of the heart. Mr. Crandell was
well-known resident of Elmira Heights. He came to the village about nine years
ago from Breesport with his wife who died about a year ago. This morning he
arose at his usual time and ate breakfast with his usual good health. After
breakfast, he took a broom and went out upon the sidewalk and was sweeping snow
when death came. Dr. Erway was called and he pronounced death due to heart
failure. Mr. Crandell is survived by four sons, Lewis A. of DeSoto, Mo.;
Herbert J. of Tacoma, Wash.; M.D. of Sayre, Pa.; Harry L. of Elmira; three
daughters, Mrs. Lewis A. Uttrich; Mrs. J. L. Hooker and Miss Mina Crandell of

Crandell in the west. The funeral arrangement will be made later." (Note:
Libbie Crandell was Grace Elizabeth Crandell who had been married and divorced,
apparently resuming the use of her maiden name though she had children and
grandchildren. An early woman's libber???) A funeral notice was published
Thursday, Feb.4, 1909. "The funeral of Moses D. Crandell will be held
Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Louis Uttrich,
3081 Oakwood Ave, Elmira Heights. Rev. Windnagle will officiate. The burial
