Joyce's Search Tip - January 2008  Do You Knowthat you can search just the Obituaries on the site by using the three County Specific Obituary selections in the Partitioned search engine at the bottom of the Current What's New Page? You can narrow your search by including a key word in the cemetery name or a township name in addition to the surname you search. Then select the Find All Words option.  You'll also find obituary and other newspaper clippings using Clippings partition. Additional clippings can be found in the Birth, Marriage, and some other partitions.

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.

Served as President ofBoard of Home For the Aged Widow of Prentice R. Norman Passes Away at Age of 81-- Took Leading Part in Building Institution to Its Present Size.

Mrs Mary E. Norman, 81, widow of Prentice P. Norman, died Sunday at 3 a.m. at the family home, 356 West Gray Street after an extended illness of three years duration. Since 1874 Mrs Norman had given of her strength and vitality in the interest of the Home for the Aged, first as a member of the Board of Managers and for the past score of years as its president. As head of the institution, Mrs Norman has accomplished results most -tifing to the institution and the city. She assisted in building the home from its small and unpretentious beginning to a point where it has become one of the outstanding units in Elmira's charitable group. During Mrs Norman's administration buildings have been added the membership increased, the system improved and new comforts and conveniences conceived for the happiness of those who partake of the Home's fine hospitality. In the early days of the institution's history it was not an easy task to make ends meet, so to speak, without much work and sacrifice. For a long time funds for maintenance were secured largely from the sale of garments made at little weekly meetings held by those charitably inclined. Eventually this fund was enlarged in various ways until now under Mrs Norman's careful guidance the institution is able to share in the welfare fund, and consequently accomplish greater things for those dependent upon it. Through a long period of failing health, Mrs Norman refused to relinquish her duties. Although confined to her residence, she kept a managerial finger on the pulse of the institution and through diplomacy and tact was responsib1e for its continued success. Her daughter Mrs Carroll C. Keeton was a great assistance to her in that work. When she was finally compelled to relinquish the work, it must have been most gratifying to Mrs Norman to know that her daughter Mrs Carroll Keeton, was the selection of the Board of Trustees to carry on the responsibility that had been her's for so many years. Mrs Norman was a woman of excellent ability, else she could not have succeeded in the gigantic task that confronted her.Her motherly influence, her fine understanding where inmates were concerned, together with her ability and business acumen, in behalf of the institution management, made her services as invaluable as they were necessary to success. Her heart and soul were in the work from the beginning of her interest and the magnificent charitable institution on Grand Central Avenue stands now as a monument to her personal effort and friendly influence upon others willing to share the responsibilty, Mrs Norman was a delightful woman not only in her work but in her home. Always thoughtful of the welfare of others, there was no sacrifice too great for her to make in behalf of those around her, She was born in Starkey, Yates County ,in 1847. Her father and mother came from England. Mrs Norman migra t ed from Starkey to Elmira as a girl and married in 1874. Her husband, the late Prentice P. Norman, for many years was associated with the Second National Bank. She had spent the remaining years of her life in this city, a devout member of the First Presbyterian Church and an indefatigable worker in many of the city's civic inst institutions sponsored and carried on by the worthy women of the city. Mrs Norman is survived by one daughter who resided i.. street home where the funeral will be ..h th her husband at the Gr ..w ..eld Burial in Woodlawn Cemetery
