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.

TREAT Rufus Gates
Wellsboro Agitator – June 13, 1900
The death on the 4th instant of Mr. Rufus G. Treat, of East Chatham, which was merely announced in the Agitator last week, occasioned widespread mourning in the community of which he was a prominent and highly esteemed member.  His death was due to the effects of a fall he sustained last winter, since aggravated by a severe attack of grip and heart failure.  Mr. Treat was the eldest son of Sylvester Treat, Sr., and was born on his father’s farm in Chatham township, July 31, 1882, and there grew to manhood, securing his education in the schools of that district.  He owned and occupied at the time of his death a part of the original farm settled by his father, and was one of the most energetic and progressive farmers in Chatham, where his life was spent.  For 30 years he was Postmaster at East Chatham.  The deceased was a civil war veteran.  He enlisted in September, 1864, in Co. D, 199th Pa. Vols., and was in the battle of Boydstown Plank Road on October 27, 1864, and for six weeks after was on picket duty at Ford Sedgwick, whence he was transferred to the Army of the James, under Gen. B. F. Butler, and later under Gen. O. C. Ond.  He received his final discharge from the service on July 8, 1865.  He was a member of the Alfred Toles Post, No. 320, G. A. R., and the Knights of Honor.  In politics he was a staunch Republican.  Mr. Treat was a good husband, a benign father and a very kind neighbor.  He was a man whom his acquaintances respected.  He was always ready to assist others in times of sickness and other troubles, and was a man of strict integrity and high morality.  He meditated much on religious truths during the last six months of his life, and accepted salvation through the merits of Christ.  Mr. Treat was twice married, and was the father of ten children, of whom only five, with his widow, survive him. The surviving children are his sons, Jesse of East Chatham, and Ernest, a student at Mansfield Normal, and three daughters,  Mrs. Caroline Ransom, of Clymer, Mrs. Ada Palmer, of Nelson, and Mrs. Mary Conklin, of Riverside, Broome county, N.Y.  He is also survived by his brother, Sylvester, of East Chatham, and his sister, Mrs. Dorinda Carl, of Argyle, N.Y.  Funeral services were held from Mr. Treat’s home at East Chatham last Wednesday afternoon at two o’clock, his chosen pastor, Rev. J. W. Allatt, Methodist clergyman at Little Marsh, officiating; assisted by Rev. Mr. Roberts of Butler Hill.  The burial, which was in the Lee cemetery, was in charge of the G. A. R.   The large concourse of neighbors, friends and veteran comrades that attended the obsequies was a far more eloquent tribute to Mr. Treat’s memory and far stronger evidence of sympathy with his bereaved family than words can express.  He will not soon be forgotten.
