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.

TOUSEY - As readers of the Advertiser well know, the Rev. Thomas Tousey has been suffering from the effects of a paralytic shock for nearly three years. The affliction first came upon him while he was in charge of a church in Clyde in July 1888. Its seriousness compelled him to retire from active labor, and taking a superannuated relation to conference, he came to his home on Walnut street in this city. Early in December Mr. Tousey suffered another stroke of paralysis and since that time he has been gradually sinking. For many weeks he has been watched over and cared for in the tenderest solicitude and devotion by his faithful wife and children. His daughters, Miss Fanny Tousey and Mrs. Mary Tousey Hayt of Park City, Utah, and his son, Thomas E. Tousey of Chicago, have been with him constantly and another son, Chester A. Tousey, also of Chicago, has made frequent visits to him, remaining as long as possible. The end has been regarded as near for several days and Saturday evening about 6 o'clock it came, sweetly and peacefully, as if borne on the wings of sleep. The life of a man like Mr. Tousey is not filled with events of great public interest, but it is filled with deeds that have worked out great good to his fellow men and, as such, is entitled to grateful honor. His was a life of love, of devotion, of self-denial, of earnest effort for others. What a man can accomplish in nearly a half century of labor under such inspiration as his cannot be estimated. Its value cannot be measured by earthly standards. It is the divine only that can do justice to it. Such an example and such service as his, as well as the high regard in which he was held personally by so many of the people of Elmira and of the state, render the following sketch of his life and work especially interesting at this time: The Rev. Thomas Tousey was born in Covington, Genesee Co., NY, August 24, 1823. When he was twelve years of age, he moved with his parents to Portage, Livingston Co. There he grew to manhood and,through all his changeful life in the itinerancy, "Old Portage" was "home" to him. He was converted at the age of twenty years and immediately felt called to the ministry. Indeed he said, before his conversion, that, if he gave his heart to God he should have to preach the gospel; and afterward he pursued his study with that in view. In 1848 he joined the Genesee Methodist Episcopal conference, at its first session held in Rochester. The townships of Portage and Nunda included several villages and school districts where services were held, and together they were called Nunda circuit. The Nunda church gave Mr. Tousey his license to preach, and so high was their regard for the abilities of their "boy preacher", as they fondly called him, that they requested the conference to appoint him first to their circuit. The fact that his own home church called him to serve them first, was always a gratification and an inspiration to him. After serving Nunda circuit Mr. Tousey was pastor of churches in the following places: Painted Post, Addison, Dundee and Starkey, Trumansburg, Penn Yan, Palmyra, Asbury church, Rochester, Geneva, Corning, Palmyra a second time, Penn Yan a second time, First M.E. church, Elmira, Watkins, Aurora street church, Ithaca, Seneca Falls and Clyde. He was also presiding elder of the Elmira and Cazenovia districts four years each. In these various places he did forty years of pastoral work. In each place he accomplished some marked religious work and endeared himself to many hearts. Dr. Hibbard said of him: "He was energetic, gifted, fully devoted to his work, always acceptable and useful, and has an honorable record." In 1847 Mr. Tousey married L. Elizabeth Andrus, daughter of Chester Andrus of Portage. Five children were born to them: Elbert A., who died in 1878, Thomas E. and Chester A. of Chicago, Mrs. R.W. Hayt of Park City, Utah, and Miss Fanny C.. of Elmira. Mrs.. Tousey and four children mourn the loss of a noble husband and father. Mr. Tousey's fondness for Elmira led him to choose it as the home in which to spend the declining years of his life. When the warning came to him in Clyde, as told above, he came to this city and made his home at 515 Walnut street. There he hoped to pass many quiet, happy years. But only two years were allowed him and those were marked with failing health and suffering. Yet never was there heard from his lips a murmur of complaint. In the great disappointment that came when he was obliged to give up his work and in the certain knowledge that he possessed of the speedy coming of the end of life, there was never any discontent or repining. During the months intervening between the time of his second attack in December and the time of his death he waited patiently and hopefully, longing for rest. Many beautiful and inspiring words were spoken by him while his mind was yet active and clear. His presence was a benediction and his home, while life lasted, seemed filled with the brightness and sweetness of his character. Ten years, altogether, of Mr. Tousey's life were spent in Elmira, and the city is the better for them. His genial face and cheerful voice gave expression to the instincts of a loving and generous heart. He will be sincerely mourned and his name will long be held in honored, grateful remembrance. - Elmira Weekly Advertiser, March 27, 1891
TOUSEY - A Clergyman's Funeral - Impressive Services Over the Remains of the Rev. Thomas Tousey - A large audience of sympathizing friends attended the funeral of the Rev. Thomas Tousey, held at the First M.E. church at 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. A short private service had been held at the house and when the cortege reached the church the remains were carried down the side aisle and deposited in front of the altar. They rested in a broad-cloth covered casket, on which reposed a number of beautiful flowers and floral emblems. The presiding elder of the district, the Rev. E.J. Hermans, and the Rev. C.C. Wilbor led the way, the latter reading passages of scripture while soft strains from the organ added impressiveness to the occasion. Following the clergy came the honorary pall-bearers, the Hon. John I. Nicks, Theodore C. Rose and Charles T. Andrews and the Hon. Henry T. Noyes of Seneca Falls, while the casket was borne by W.S. Gerity, Dr. C.W.M. Brown, Joseph Pierce, A.D. Symonds, the Rev. Harsey King of Havana and the Rev. F. Sanford of Canton, PA. The sad ceremonies began by Professor Mark C. Baker singing "The Home of the Soul," rendered in a most impressive manner. Scriptural selections were then read from the 91st Psalm and the first chapter of Corinthians, after which Dr. Wilbor offered prayer. Professor Baker sang "There is a Home of Pure Delight," after which Presiding Elder Hermans gave an interesting sketch of the life of the deceased, telling of his effective ministry, of his successful work at various charges and of the many victories he had won in the Master's cause, characterizing his ministerial career as eminently wise and successful and the deceased as an ever genial, companionable, sweet-tempered man. The Rev. Liston H. Pearce then, in a feeling manner, read a paper dictated by Mr. Tousey on the 14th of last December, which showed his abounding faith in the Master he so long served and the peace and comfort which his religion gave him as he approached the valley of the shadow of death. Dr. Wilbor briefly referred to the illness of the deceased, quoting many of his utterances during that time, in which he frequently expressed himself as not afraid of death but as gladly waiting the summons to his everlasting home. The services concluded with a song, "Jerusalem the Golden," by Prof. Baker after which the friends were given an opportunity to look upon the face of the departed pastor for the last time. The interment was in Woodlawn and was private. Many clergymen from this district were present as were also nearly all of the ministers of Elmira churches of the various denominations. - Elmira Weekly Advertiser, March 25, 1891
