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.

PETERSON - Girl Burns to Death, Baby Boy
is Drowned, Youth Kills Playmate- Wellsboro, Oct. 30.- Bradford and Susquehanna
counties recorded tragedies last week. Leona Woolver,
age 14, of Rummerfield, was burned to death when a can of kerosene oil exploded
while she was making a fire. An infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Peterson of Wells was drowned in a puddle of
water in an otherwise dry brook, and by the accidental discharge of a gun, in
the hands of a companion, Robert Goodman,
age 12, of Lanesboro, was instantly killed while shooting at toy balloons.
ELLA C. PETERSON died Tuesday (July 13, 1915) morning at 6 o’clock at the family home on upper West Water Street. She is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hans Peterson; two brothers, Frank and Henry A. Peterson of this city. The funeral was held at the family home Thursday at 2 p.m. The burial was in Woodlawn Cemetery. Miss Peterson was a woman of unusual attainments and forcefulness of character and of personal characteristics, which commanded respect and admiration. She had been a teacher in the Elmira public schools for fifteen years and nearly all of that time at No. 10 school, in the reformatory district. Miss Satterico, the principal has paid Miss Peterson high tribute as a woman and teacher. Throughout all the long illness, which she endured, punctuated with intense suffering, which she bore with fortitude and resignation. Her gradual decline had been followed with the greatest solicitude, not only by the pupils and teachers who admired her, but also by a great many friends. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hans Peterson and brothers, Dr. Henry A. and Frank Peterson, left nothing undone in care or means to alleviate a condition which could at best mean an ultimate ending. The expressions of regret and sympathy heard at the funeral and floral remembrances from friends attested their devotion. The Order of the Eastern Star sent its tribute and thus was laid away one whose memory and worth will remain a treasured possession. –Elmira Sunday Telegram 7/18/1915

The parents, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Peterson, rushed the child to the hospital in this city where futile efforts were made to revive the little child by Dr. Abraham Lands and Dr. Floyd H. Jones. The tragedy causes profound sorrow for the bereaved parents, who are well known and respected in the community in which they live.

After it was announced that the child had died, the father again carried the body of his son, this time to the funeral parlors. The body was taken to the Harrington undertaking rooms and will be removed to the home of the parents in the Town of Wells. The child is survived by his parents, the grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Roy, of Bulkhead and Mr. and Mrs. N. P. Peterson of Town of Wells, Pa. The announcement of the funeral is to be made later.
