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.

SCHILLER
–VIRGINIA DRAKE, 97, of Elmira, New York peacefully passed away on November

married the love of her life, G. Manning Drake. He was truly the most
important person in her life, and when he passed away he remained in her
heart and life forever. An incredible woman, in 1937, Virginia helped create
and manage the office of The Drake Coal Company in Elmira until becoming a
homemaker for many years taking care of the growing family. Later she would
again return to the business community as manager of the Drake Heating & Air

Elmira, buying, remodeling and selling homes. She won praise and awards in
every phase of her career. Her word was always her bond. However, during her
long life one thing is for sure, nothing was ever more important to her than
her family. Her never wavering positive attitude, and determination only do
the right and moral things in her life surely has guaranteed that she is
once again with her husband and her beloved mother. God Bless you Mom,
thanks for being the incredible you. We will always miss you. Rest In Peace.

ACTIVE LIFE COMES TO END Fred Schornstheimer, One of City’s Most Esteemed
Business Men, Takes His Life in Fit of Despondency.
Fred SCHORNSTHEIMER, one of Elmira’s best known citizens, residing in
apartments at Lake and Clinton streets, was found dead yesterday afternoon at
his home. Mr. Schornstheimer was discovered in the bath room with his jugular
vein severed. He had taken his life with a sharp bread knife. It is said that
Mr. Schornstheimer has been despondent for some time past. He suffered a
paralytic seizure four years ago and has been in ill health since. Three months
ago Mr.Schornstheimer sustained a fractured leg as the result of a fall down
the stairs at his home. He suffered a second paralytic attack a short time ago.
Mr. Schornsteimer at one time was county clerk. He also served as president of
the Elmira Wholesale Grocery Company. For some time he was associated with Adam
Stampp in the Schornsteimer and Stampp grocery store at Lake and Clinton
streets. The business changed hands some time ago. Mr. Schornsteimer was sixty
years old. He was born in Wells , Pa., in 1859. He is survived by two brothers,
Peter Schornsteimer, jr., of this city and Henry Schornsteimer of San
Francisco, and three sisters, Mrs. J. E. Blaise of New York city; Mrs. Carol
Dobberstein of Utica, and Mrs. Ella M. Lappe of this city. The decedent had
been a member of Union Lodge, No. 95, F & A.M. many years. Mr.
Schornstheimer was highly esteemed by a wide circle of friends. He was one of
Elmira’s substantial business men, and a loyal citizen. Ill health gradually
undermined his strong constitution, and of late of the most part he has been
confined to his home. The change from active business life had a depressing
effect. Elmirans acquainted with Fred Schornstheimer knew him to be a man of
many good qualities. He was loyal and charitable, possessing a happy nature,
which endeared him to all who had the honor of his acquaintance. The funeral
will be held at the family home Friday at 2:30 p.m. and will be private. The
Rev. R. Vieweg will officiate and burial will be in Woodlawn cemetery in the
family plot.

"DEATH
OF FREDERICK SCHWEPPE.
His Long
Illness Terminated Yesterday Noon.
"At noon yesterday occurred the death of Frederick Schweppe, one of
Elmira's best known German citizens
and businessmen.
Mr. Schweppe had been ill since last January and although his strong
constitution and determined will made a great struggle against death, a
complication of diseases preyed upon his vitality until he was forced to lay
down the contest and quietly passed into rest.
Mr. Schweppe was fifty five years of age, having been born in Germany near
Hanover April 4, 1837. He came to this country in July, 1865, and spent nine
years in and about New York city working at his trade as a fresco painter. In
1874 he was sent to this city by his employer to fresco the Second national
bank. Upon the completion of this work he decided to remain in Elmira and soon
established the business which has now grown to quite extensive proportions. He
was ever an upright businessman, a public spirited citizen, a courteous
gentleman and a faithful friend. He was married in Germany to Eleanore
Johansmeyer and they have had six children of whom two sons Fred, jr., and
Henry, and two daughters, Mrs. [William] Jacob Duhl and Miss Laura, with his
wife survive him. Mr. Schweppe was a member of the Masons, I.O.O.F., and
B.P.O.E., and the Saengerbund, all of which organizations will attend the
funeral in a body. The funeral will be held to-morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock,
and will probably be in charge of the Masonic order."

"BURIAL OF
FREDERICK SCHWEPPE.
It Was Held
This Morning and Was Very Largely Attended.
"The funeral of the late Frederick Schweppe, one of this city's most
honored citizens, was held this afternoon at 2 o'clock at the family residence
on Carroll Street. The obsequies were among the most largely attended ever held
in this city, which attests the high esteem in which the deceased was held. The
members of the Elmira lodge, No. 62, B.P.O. Elks, Union lodge, No. 95 and
Elmira Saengerbund, of which societies the deceased was a member, attended the
funeral in a body. The funeral sermon was preached by the Rev. T.K. Beecher in
his usual touching and impressive manner. The Elmira Saengerbund sang several
appropriate hymns. At the conclusion of Mr. Beecher's remarks, the Masons took
charge of the remains and performed their burial ritual.
The floral offerings were many and most beautiful. The Elks sent a most
magnificent design, in the form of an Elk's head. The head was composed of tube
roses, the antlers being of purple pansies. The head is surrounded by a broken
wreath of blush roses, and at one end is tied a lavender satin ribbon bearing
the letters of the order. The back ground of the beautiful design is composed
entirely of ivy leaves with a border of exquisite pink roses. Among the other
floral designs are a large spray of white roses from Mrs. F. Hager; a basket of
La Pearle roses and ferns from Mr. and Mrs. William Singerhoff; a large pillow
bearing the inscription "Father" from the family; bouquet from Mrs.
Gohring; a cycle of yellow roses on a large standard composed of ferns from
Mrs. Louis Sheidlen and sister, Miss Emma Sheidlen; a wreath of flowers, Mrs.
Henry Haupt and Mrs. John Duhl; a basket of beautiful cut flowers from Mrs.
Louis Freudenheim and Mrs. C.D. Metzger; lyre from the Saengerbund; sheaf of
wheat from Mr. and Mrs. Edward Kennedy; large floral design from the German
Democratic club of which the deceased was an earnest member; spray of white
roses and white carnations from Mr. and Mrs. John Young; bouquet from Mrs.
Franz Zimmerman; a design in the shape of a harp from Mr. and Mrs. Herman
Heine. There were besides these, elegant designs from the Masons and
Saengerbund societies. The pall bearers were masons. The funeral cortege was
one of the largest ever seen in the city. The interment was in Woodlawn
cemetery."
