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.

 We loved him, yes we loved him, but the angels loved him more, So they have sweetly called him, To the ever shining shore.  On New Year’s morning a wave of sorrow swept over our community, when the word went out that on the evening before the Angel of Death had entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Gould and taken their only child after an illness of twenty-four hours.  The funeral was largely attended on Friday at the M. E. church, the Rev. F. Hess officiating, taking as the foundation for his remarks, “Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for unto such belongeth the Kingdom of God.”  The remains were tenderly laid at rest in the Rutland cemetery to await the glad reunion on the resurrection morn.  We cannot understand why this precious one should be taken now, but He alone who can look into the future doeth all things well.  Little Howard had reached the age of eleven years, five months and twenty-two days.  He was of such a lovable and sunny disposition, that no one knew him but to love him.  The bereaved parents and relatives have the heartfelt sympathy of the community.

Self-taught quilter spends life looking after others.
You could find her at a church supper or behind the sewing machine. Standing by the stove or on the run to help a sick friend. Whether it was quilting or cooking, helping a senior citizen det through a rough day-- or spending years with a sick family member, Blanche Horton always cared. “ She was always a very caring person,” said her sister, Susie Benson of Horseheads. “ It seems like her life was looking out for somebody else. If someone she knew was sick, she would go and take care of them. “ She was always cooking, taking a dish to people who were ill, or that she knew needed help,” Benson said.. “ When the church was having a supper, she would always make something. That’s how she was. She couldn’t do enough for other people.” Blanche Alice Crum Horton of Jackson Center died of lung failure on Friday, May 10, 1996, at Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre. She was 82. Mrs. Horton was born Blanche Griffin near Millerton in 1914 and never strayed far from home. She found plenty to do in her own back yard to fill a life. Growing up on a dairy farm, she ;earned the importance of being a helper as a young child. It was a lesson that proved invaluable before she reached her teens. “ Our mother died when Blanche was 12, “ Benson said. “ So Blanche helped bring the rest of us up. It wasn’t an easy life.” Things got better when Blanche’s father remarried. And Mrs. Horton , too, eventually married and had a son. And she remarried after her first husband died. For years, she and second husband, Raymond Horton, ran Horton’s Mini-Mart, Jackson Township. She also was a production worker at Cerio Tool Co. in Elmira and she was well known in the area for her quilting. “ She made most of them by hand, all kinds of different designs, “ Benson said. “ She took a class at one time, but she picked up most of it herself.” “ Just about everyone in her family and a lot of her friends, too, had one of Blanche’s quilts, “ said another sister, Louise Marsh of Elmira. “ If you had a baby, you got a quilt. If you got married, you got a quilt.” Sometimes, people got quilts for no special reason. Benson said. “ She just made them and gave them away, one after the other,” Benson said. “ She enjoyed that.” And her family too. Mrs. Horton spent a year in Alaska, living with son Gerald Crum and his family, which has now returned to the Millerton area. She was a regular at the Garrett Mill Senior Center and had “ a mountain of friends” there and at her church, Jackson Center United Methodist Church, Benson said. Quilting was fun. But caring ruled Mrs. Horton’s life, Benson said. She quit working at Cerio to take care of her ailing father and did the same for her first husband when he became ill. And her second husband and a dying aunt. It spread outside of the family, too. “ If anybody was sick, she was there,” Benson said. “If  anyone needed help, she was there, helping.” As long as she was healthy, Mrs. Horton was an every-Sunday churchgoer who loved her congregation, Benson said. And she enjoyed good health for many years. She was a strong , healthy  woman for a long time,” Marsh said. “ She lived a good caring life.” In addition to Marsh, Benson and Crum, Mrs. Horton is survived by stepsons Richard, Gene, Charles and Danny Horton; stepdaughter Lillian Horton; brother Robert Griffin of Tioga; sisters Dora Landon of Grover, Pa., and Delores Wheeler of Elmira; three grandchildren; two great-grandchildren, an aunt and several nieces and nephews.

In Memory of Fred Griffin
When evening shadows are falling,
  And I sit all alone;
To my sad heart comes a feeling,
  If you only could come home.
No one knows how much I miss you,
  No one knows what bitter pain
I have suffered since I lost you;
  Home will never be the same.

In the still and quiet hours of night,
  When sleep forsakes the eyes,
My thoughts are far away,
  Where my dear husband lies.
What would I give to clasp his hand,
  His happy face to see.
To hear his voice, to see his smile
  That meant so much to me.
I think of him in silence,
  His name I oft recall,
But there is nothing left to answer
  But his picture on the wall.
