PALMER Carl Kenneth
Star-Gazette, Friday, March 17, 1989 - Palmer was a dedicated dairy farmer - Obituary
Little Marsh - Carl K. Palmer used knowledge gained from a life on a farm to improve the lives of other dairy farmers.  The son of a farmer, Palmer grew up, operated his own farm and raised his son to be a farmer.  He was one of the early founders of the Middlevury Cooperative Milk Producers Association.  "It was important to the farm operation he was running.  He was in the milk business," said his son, Kenneth Palmer.  Carl Palmer of Little Marsh RD 1 died of cancer Wednesday at Soldiers and Sailors Hospital, Wellsboro.  He was 78.  Calling hours are 1-2 p.m. today at Tussey-Mosher Funeral Home, Wellsboro, to be followed by a funeral service.  His pastor, the Rev. Jay Morris, will officiate.  Burial will be in Middlebury Union Cemetery.  The cooperative was started in about 1939 - tough times for dairy farmers, said Kenneth Palmer and his mother, Cora.  "The situation was so bad that you had to do something for your own produce, " Mrs. Palmer said.  "Milk wasn't bringing a price the farmer could undertake in farming."  Because of that, the farmers organized a cooperative and bargained with the milk companies.  "It was due to some law change at the time that allowed groups to organize to become co-ops," Kenneth Palmer said.  "It made the farmers stick together so they all received the same price, instead of each individual farmer dealing with a (milk) business." Carl Palmer was the secretary/treasurer of the cooperative for 33 years, and served as a delegate to cooperative conventions in Syracuse, Mrs. Palmer said.  Kenneth Palmer now is operating the farm on which he grew up.  He and his father had been partners.  Carl Palmer also served as school director for Chatham Township for 12 years - a volunteer position, his son said.

PEAKE -ORCHID P. 'BETTY' OWLETT, 91, passed away on March 2, 2020 at the Watermark Assisted Living Facility in Trinity, FL.  Her funeral service was held on March 5 at Dobies Funeral Chapel in Holiday, FL.  Mrs. Owlett's remains will be interred at the Middlebury Union Cemetery in Keeneyville.  Interment plans are incomplete at this time. Mrs. Owlett was born on Jan. 24, 1929 in Wellsboro, to Llewellyn and Frances Peake.  She was one of five children and is survived by her sister Nancy Steininger.  Betty was preceded in death by Stuart Owlett, her husband of 69 years.  Together they owned and operated Owlett's Super Market in Keeneyville.  For the last 30 years of their marriage, they worked together at Tampa Bay Downs in Oldsmar, FL.  "Together" is certainly the right word for their relationship.  Betty was a 14-year-old freshman at Wellsboro High in 1942 when she started dating two-grades older Stuart.  They were inseparable for the next 75 years.  Work, family, church and taking pride in one's accomplishments were the cornerstones of their lives and marriage.  They enjoyed traveling and journeyed to all parts of the globe, often accompanied by their children.  Betty, whose given name was Orchid, was a blessing to all who knew her.  Her common sense approach to life and her no-nonsense response to modern issues will be greatly missed by her family and friends. Mrs. Owlett is survived by two children and their spouses,  Dave and Betty Owlett of Cumming, GA and Cheryl and Steve Ross of Tarpon Springs, FL. Betty is also survived by four grandchildren, Todd Hanville, Kim Ford, Jaimee Stansell, and Matthew Hanville; 10 great-grandchildren, and six great-great grandchildren.  In lieu of flowers the family suggests contributions to a charity of one's choice. Betty was particularly supportive of Hospice Care, the Alzheimer's Foundation, and St. Jude's Hospital for Children. -Wellsboro Gazette 3/14/2020

POPE - Rev. Dryden A. Pope, who died at his home in Chatham on Saturday, the 6th instant (July 6, 1889), was a man of sterling worth and usefulness. He had been in poor health for a year or more, and fully understood that the end of this life was near, but he was not confined to his bed, and was outdoors looking after his affairs only the night before he died. The immediate cause of his death seemed to be of an apoplectic nature. Dryden A. Pope was a native of Connecticut, where he was born April (5) 1816. When he was five years of age his parents moved to Binghamton, NY, where the boy grew to man’s estate. He attended the common schools of that day, and by working and teaching managed to secure a fair education. He learned the trade of a carpenter and millwright, and did much work in building bridges for the New York and Erie Railway when that road was constructed through southern New York. Mr. Pope was converted quite early in life and entered the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal church. In 1856 he moved to Chatham in this county (Tioga), where he purchased 178 acres of wild land which he afterward cleared and brought into a good state of cultivation. On this farm he remained all the rest of his life. After coming to Chatham he joined the Freewill Baptist Church and became and remained a diligent preacher of that denomination until a few years ago, when failing health compelled him to retire from the active ministry. While residing at Binghamton Mr. Pope wedded, Miss Lucy A. Roberts, who survives him. The couple were blessed with six children, of whom five are still living. Mr. Pope was a man of much more than ordinary intelligence, of decided convictions and of great moral courage. In life his labors and example were helpful and inspiring to his fellow-men, and now that he is gone to his reward his memory among those who knew him will long. - Wellsboro Agitator, July 16, 1889, p.3
