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.

RAPHAEL “MARTY” MARTINEZ a veteran of World War II, retired United States Air Force Major and long-time resident of Horseheads, N.Y., died on March 8, 2015 at the age of 101. For the final year of his life, he was a resident at the New York State Veterans Home in Batavia, N.Y. Born in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, Marty, his widowed mother and two younger siblings, (Isabel Martinez Mendoza and Arthur Martinez) moved to New York City when he was a child. After graduating from the High School of Commerce in New York City, he followed a path to the military when he enlisted in the U.S. Army in Manhattan in August 1935. Mr. Martinez began his military career as a Technical Sergeant and then graduated from the Army Finance School in Washington, D.C. in 1937. He met his wife, Emily "Emmie" Schweizer Martinez, in Honolulu in 1939. They were married in 1941 and became a military family with three children until he retired from the U.S. Air Force in 1957. During World War II, from mid-1942 until late 1944, Mr. Martinez served as a Finance Officer in England, Italy and North Africa. Mr. Martinez was honorably discharged on January 31, 1957, having served more than 22 years in the U.S. Air Force stationed in Montana, Massachusetts, Nebraska, Newfoundland (Canada), Texas, and Panama. After his military career, Mr. Martinez and his family settled in Horseheads to be near Emmie's father (Paul Schweizer) and brothers (Ernest, Paul A. and William Schweizer). Marty worked in banking and hospital administration. A track star in high school, he began running again in his early 70s, continuing well into his 80s. He enrolled in college courses later in life, but essentially he was self-educated. He was passionate about discussing many subjects, especially philosopher George Santayana. He loved the works of William Shakespeare, especially "Hamlet," which he could still quote at age 100. He was also an avid reader of The New York Times and The New Yorker throughout his life.

LYMAN G. MARVIN DEAD (pencil sketch of his face included)
A Man who was a Friend and Favorite Passes Quickly to Rest. It will be a
great shock to a great many people in Elmira to learn of the unexpected death
of Lyman G. Marvin, for ten years the faithful janitor of the Madison Avenue
primary school. Mr. Marvin was attacked by pleurisy last Thursday, which
developed into typhoid pneumonia, and when that dread ailment attacked him, his
not over-robust physique quickly succumbed, and he died at his residence this
forenoon about 9 o'clock. he was born in 1841 at Webb Mills, and was a
farmer when he came to Elmira. His father was the late Seth Marvin, and
the late Edward Marvin, poormaster, was his brother. he leaves a wife and
four children. he was a member of Wetamoe tribe of Red Men, and of Elmira
lodge, United Workmen, a benefit order. The funeral will be on Friday at
2 o'clock. When "Lyme" Marvin died, one of the best men who has
lived died. True, he was nor a rich man, nor a man who made a stir in the
world; he was a poor man and an honest man; his kindness of heart and generous
nature prompted him to do acts of kindness and good will, which will form some
of the settings in the crown of glory, which those such as he should wear when
they pass into the kingdom of Heaven. The writer does not know whether
Lyme Marvin was a religious man as the term goes; but somewhere in the gospel
the Master said - 'come ye blessed of my father, inherit the kingdom prepared
for you from the foundation of the world; for I was a hungered and ye gave me
drink, I was a stranger and ye took me in, naked and ye clothed me, I was sick
and ye visited me.: So, had Lyman Marvin been laden with riches, he could
not take any of it with him where he has gone, but there is something better
which he can take, and those who know him feel that he will be welcomed there
with the glad acclaim "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least
of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto me." {died 10 Dec 1890
buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, Elmira, NY}

MAXWELL - William Maxwell. Billy Maxwell. The Noted Elmiran and Temperance Orator Passes Away. The widely known temperance advocate, William Maxwell, died at the Bath Soldier's Home on Friday afternoon last. He was naturally a brilliant, gifted man and came from an illustrious family. He had been in failing health for a year or more. The news of his death was learned with painful interest. He was known to every man, woman and child almost in Elmira, when he was born on the 31st day of December, in the year 1828. This would make him at the time of his death, nearly sixty-two years of age. He was of the old-time Maxwell family, so prominent and renowned in this valley very many years ago. His father was that noted Thomas Maxwell, an intellectual giant in the days of yore, and of whom there are most pleasant and honorable remembrances. The elder Maxwell was one of the ablest and most remarkable men of his time and was noted for a remarkable memory which, allied with the systematic methods of recording the important events of the interesting period in which he lived and prominently took part, caused him to be looked upon as a reliable historian of the early days of this county and section. Nearly all of his papers, of which he had a vast collection, were, however, unfortunately destroyed. The elder Maxwell himself lost his life in a tragic manner, having been killed by the cars. Billy Maxwell came of good stock - the best there was. He was highly favored naturally and had he in early life applied himself to some profession and proved faithful to it, he would have risen to eminence. He was an original wit, and it was always interesting and laughable to hear him relate, as he was fond of doing in his latter years, his experiences which though of a long and checkered career, were of an eventful character. Mr. Maxwell was patriotic in the war days and as a member of the 161st regiment under the command of Captain Dumars, served with credit. Exspousing the temperence cause he was a faithful, conscientious worker in that noble cause. Both in America and in England he appeared on the platform with great success. He was considered the equal of the great Gough in ability to move an audience, his impassioned appeals carrying his hearers by storm. Thousands took the pledge and kept it through his efforts and eloquence. Mr. Maxwell was really a great temperance orator. He often said to the writer that somehow or other he could never do himself justice before an Elmira audience. He said they all knew him here and it was only Billy Maxwell that was talking to them and he couldn't disabuse his mind of that depressing idea. At other places all say he was grand - a truly eloquent, impressive speaker. He certainly did great work in the temperance field and will be principally remembered for that. Personally he was a genial, companionable man, much delighteing to have about him a little company of congenial souls to chat and laugh with. He will ever be held in kindly memory by all Elmirans - a brilliant fellow and one who by self-martyrdom proved himself worthy of recognition and honor. The deceased leaves a wife, who showed herself faithful and devoted to him in his declining years. The remains will be brought to his old loved Elmira for burial, arriving on the 1:30 Erie train. From the depot they will be taken to Woodlawn.
