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) |

There survive his widow, a sister, Mrs. Wesley J. Keeney, of Buffalo; one brother, Fred L. Graves, of Tioga, Pa., and numerous other relatives. He was a member of the Park church and of the Men’s Own Class. The funeral was held at the family home at 2 o’clock Saturday, Rev. S.E. Eastman officiating; burial in Woodlawn cemetery.
