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.

GAYLORD - Sanford Gaylord, [SRGP 82462] one of the oldest engineers in point of service in the employ of Tioga company, dropped dead about nine o'clock last Friday morning in the train dispatcher's office in Elmira. The dispatcher had handed him his orders, and Mr. Gaylord was waiting for permission for his brother in-law to ride on the engine, when he fell heavily to the floor, expiring instantly.

"Sant" Gaylord was a general favorite. He was big hearted, always obliging and generous to a fault. His familiarity with the trout streams and haunts of game birds as well as larger game in Northern Pennsylvania won for him many friends among the officials of the road. His popularity extended to all stations in life and included both sexes. He was born in this boro Dec. 10, 1835. His father's name was Alvin Gaylord. Sant began life about thirty years ago as a brakeman. Subsequently he became a fireman, and after five years accepted a situation as engineer on the Blossburg and Corning, now known as the Tioga division of the Erie Railroad. He was married in 1861 to Frances Miller of Canandaigua. For his second wife he married Sarah Wilkes, of Corning, who with one son survives him. The remains were brought to this place by special train at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon, accompanied by a large delegation of mourning friends, mostly railroad men and their families. The Company ran a special train for the employees from Blossburg also. The crowd in Hope Cemetery was the largest ever seen there. All who wished were allowed to view the remains.
