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.

TAYLOR Caroline - Mrs. Caroline Wixon died last night
[May 2, 1922] at 11 o'clock at the family home, 328 1/2 Irvine place, at the
advanced age of 101 years. Mrs. Wixon celebrated the 100th anniversary of her
birth, February 11, 1921, at which time she received many friends at her home,
The decedent was born in a humble home on the shores of Lake Keuka, near the
present Keuka Landing, When asked on her anniversary how she accounted for her
long life, without hesitation she replied, "I have always worked, but I
was sensible about it. I never worried. The world's full of good people and
there's lots of bad, too. I guess we just have to take things as they come. I
owe to my mother much for my long life, for she would never allow me to
overeat, and simple foods were always her favorites, and not much of those."
Martin Wixon, the husband of Mrs. Wixon, died over a half century ago. She and
her two daughters came to Elmira from Penn Yan about 1894, and have made their
home here since. She was born Caroline Taylor, a member of a family of sturdy,
long lived people. She was interested in the recent World War as in the Civil
and Spanish-American conflict. She was a staunch Republican. She recited
poetry, repeated extracts from the Bible and had sung the hymns that she
learned when but a little girl. A woman of fine mentality, her brain was active
and clear and she was comparatively well physically. The loss of sight was a
handicap, but her hearing was fairly good and her speech as distinct as that of
a young person. Tenderly cared for by her loving daughter she has "grown
old graceful." For the past several years Mrs. Caroline Wixon had not been
especially active physically, but the power of her mind was as clear as it
doubtless was a half century ago. She was highly respected by many friends. The
decedent had been a member of the First Baptist Church and was unable to attend
the gatherings of their society because of the infirmities attendant with old
age. She is survived by two daughter, the Misses Olive R. Wixon and Deborah
Wixon, two sons, Albert T. of Elmira, George B. Wixon of Wilkes-Barre, PA; a
granddaughter, Miss Carolyn Wixon of East Auroro. The funeral will be announced
later. - Elmira Star Gazette, May 3, 1922

THOMAS - DEATH OF N. SPENCER THOMAS. A Good Man and a Public-Spirited Citizen Passes Away. N. Spencer Thomas, who suffered a stroke of paralysis a week ago Friday, from which he never regained consciousness, died Sunday last at his home, 368 West Clinton street. The deceased was sixty-two years of age, and was one of Elmira's most prominent business men. He was well-known in the city and was respected by all his acquaintances and warmly esteemed by his friends. Mr. Thomas was the proprietor of the Peerless Dye works, on West Second street, which were erected in 1836.

He was born in Hartsville, Bucks county, PA, in 1828. His parents were Quakers, and he was also a member of the Society of Friends. At an early age he was apprenticed to a chemist of Philadelphia, and after he attained his majority he embarked in business as a wholesale chemist, having graduated some time before at a pharmacentical college in Philadelphia. Mr. Thomas successfully experimented with the problem of concentrating the extract of hemlock bark for tanning purposes, and desiring to put his discoveries into practical use he removed to Painted Post, NY, and built an extract factory in that village. He continued his researches into the mysteries of chemistry and succeeded in making the extract of hemlock bark for the base of dyes. He built the bark extract works at Trout Run about twenty years ago, and several years ago he removed to Elmira and built an elegant residence on West Clinton street, which he made his home. Mr. Thomas is survived by one son, Charles I., a resident of Philadelphia, and a daughter, Reba R., of this city. He was a broad-minded, charitable man, a good citizen and a kind husband and father. The funeral was largely attended Wednesday afternoon. The services were conducted by Rev. Thomas K. Beecher, who spoke of the deceased as a pure minded, public spirited citizen and a consistent member of the Society of Friends. The pall bearers were E. N. Palmer, William C. Buck, John Brown, H. C.

Joyce,
Just a note to tell you why I am submitting this...I was at the Steele Memorial
Library on Tuesday August 11, 2007, and met a woman who is searching for an
obituary for her relative. I looked up the person in the Social Security
Death Index and also on your website for a cemetery listing. Both names
and dates match. As I was searching, the woman left the library, so I
didn't get to share this information. I'd like to share it with you so
that it can be posted online. I have a photo copy of both the early
edition and the final edition of the July 3, 1979 Star-Gazette - the only date
in which this death notice is published.
She was searching for OSBORNE, THORPE, SPRAGUE
I have a photocopy of the obituary for the woman who was seeking this
information. If she will contact me, I will forward this to her.
