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.

HANYEN, MARY LOUISE (SRGP 8660)
As the first rays of light shone over the eastern hills, in the early
morning of September 29, 1927, the soul of M. Louise Hanyen left its earthly
dwelling, and quietly and peacefully passed out into the Great Beyond.
Miss Hanyen had been a patient sufferer in the Robert Packeer Hospital, Sayre,
Pennsylvania, for several weeks. Following an operation, all the aid
known to medical science was given her; everything that loving hands could do,
to help ward off the progress of complications was done. The tired body seemed
unable to respond to the earthly call; but at daylight, when the Heavenly call
came—“Tis enough, come up higher,” the struggling soul was willingly released
and went joyfully on its celestial journey. Thus has ended a beautiful
life. Miss Hanyen was born in Elmira, N.Y., the daughter of Cornelius B.
And Jennie Reynolds Hanyen, both deceased. She attended the schools in
that city and later graduated from the Teachers College here. She taught
in the schools of Elmira for several years, retiring at the time of her
father’s death to live at the family home in Rutland, Pa., with her
mother. Since the death of her mother, in 1923, she has spent the winter
months with her sister, Mrs. Lewis M. Palmer, 50 St. James Street, and has made
many friends here. Miss Hanyen’s beautiful Christian character was
exemplified in her daily life. She had hosts of friends, whose hearts are
greatly saddened by her going. Miss Hanyen was a member of the First
Methodist Church in Elmira; but during her stay in Rutland and Mansfield has
been a devoted worker in the church of her choice. She was president of
the Ladies’ Aid Society of the Roseville Church for several terms, and gave her
time willingly for a cause that was dear to her heart. The following
relatives survive: A sister, mrs. Blanche Hanyen Palmer, of Mansfield;
two brothers, Attorney Fred C. Hanyen, of Scranton, and Prof. C. B. Hanyen,
Superintendent of Schools, Kingston, Pa.; three nieces, H. Louise Palmer, a
student in the college here; Mildred Hanyen Kocher, a student in Columbia
University; Jennie M. Hanyen, a member of the faculty in Elmira College; one
nephew, Howard R. Hanyen, advertising manager for Cleland, Simpson Co.,
Scranton. The funeral services were largely attended on Saturday
afternoon at the home of her sister, Mrs. Lewis M. Palmer. There was a
great profession of beautiful flowers, many floral pieces being sent from
friends living at a distance. The service was in charge of Rev. W. W.
Kehler, pastor of the Rutland Methodist Church. Interment was in the
family plot in Woodlawn Cemetery, Elmira, N.Y. Rexford Soper was the
funeral director. The pall-bearers were C. L. Longwell, W. W. Allen, John
Farrer, W. S. Farrer, Prof. G. B. Strait, Fremont Walters, G. L. Palmer, M. V.
Benson.
