| 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. |

At her home in Roseville, at 9 p.m. January 7, 1926,occurred the death of Mrs Eliza Brace, aged 74 years, after a prolonged illness. Born on VanNess Hill in Rutland, on August 5, 1851, she was the only daughter of George and Jane Tanner. Two brothers, Joseph and Hannibal, and her parents, have long since preceded her to the glorious home above. After short periods of living at Chandlersburg and Roseville, the family moved to the home of her grandfather, Rev. Amos Mansfield, near the old Rutland Hill Church, which she joined at the age of 12. She passed a happy year at her aunts in Syracuse, N.Y. and on her return completed her education and taught several successful terms of school until on October 23,1873 she became the wife of Lewis E. Watkins, of Burton Hill. To this union was born a son, Ross, who, with an adopted sister, Mrs. Maude Stevens of Jackson, survives her. Joseph's daughter being now Mrs Harry Brace, and Hannibal's son, Mr Welland J. Tanner. Ten years of happy married life was saddened at its close by the long illness and death of her husband. All seemed lost, but with Christian fortitude she gathered up the broken strands of her life and carried on for her little ones. In 1887 she was married to Nelson E. Brace, and removed to his farm near Painter Run, where she remained until 1920, when she went to her son's in Knoxville, where she lived at the time of her death; Mr Brace having died in 1918. Of his six children, four survive to revere the memory of "Mother": Mrs Grant Stickler of Painter Run, Fred Brace, of Springfield; Orville of Mansfield, and Harry, near Painter Run. By this marriage she acquired 12 nephews and nieces who survive, and she has 25 grandchildren and 33 great grandchildren. Each of her brothers had a child. (07 JAN 1926) (James Wilson Scrapbook)
One of the old landmarks has been removed by the death of Mr. George
TANNER,
(SRGP 03595) of Rutland, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. N. E. Brace,
Friday afternoon, April 30, 1897. Mr. Tanner was born in the town of Dix,
Schuyler County, NY, Sept. 18, 1822. Bereft of his father in early life, he
became inured to toil and hardship which developed the brave spirit which
characterized his whole life. July 4, 1849, he married Miss Jane Mansfield,
daughter of Rev. Amos Mansfield, former preacher of the M. E. Church. Three
children , a daughter and two sons, were given them. The wisdom of his choice of
a life companion was never more plainly manifest than when, after the loss of
his two sons she sweetly , cheerfully raised his bowed head and spoke of the
promises of Him who “doeth all things well.” He was converted when quite young
and in his home life, in his business relations and in positions of public trust
he has ever maintained that integrity of character and constancy of purpose that
mark a Christian gentleman. On the day the final summons came he had been
about the farm as well as usual when suddenly stricken by apoplexy, love and
care were alike unable to save him. His wife and daughter, three grandchildren,
one great grandchild, one sister, Mrs. Mary Hill, of West Vernon, NY, two
brothers, W. A. Tanner of Harrison Valley and J. C. Tanner of Granville, NY and
one half sister, Mrs. J. H. Carrington, of Sebastopol, Cal., remain to mourn
their loss and share the blessings of his memory. For more than twenty years he
had been a member of the Austinville Lodge, I. O. O. F., who were present in a
body and assisted in the burial service. Rev. Paul Smith preached an excellent
sermon from Revelations 14:13, to a large assembly, and then he was laid away by
the side of his two sons, to await the resurrection morning.

UPDYKE, MISS AMANDA (SRGP 13311)
Miss Amanda Updyke, of Rutland, whose friends have hoped against hope for
her ultimate recovery, died last Saturday night after a heroic fight for life at
the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Updyke of consumption of the bowels,
aged 19 years. Deceased was a loveable girl and her untimely demise is a
great blow to her parents. She had been ill about six months.
(Handwritten date Aug. 1903).
UPDYKE, AMANDA M. (SRGP 13311)
With the death of Amanda M. Updyke, a shadow has fallen upon a household,
whose thickness and darkness seem impenetrable. A bright and beautiful
form has departed; a pure and lovely spirit has flown. Terrible is the
blow, and we wonder not that the afflicted are smitten to the very dust in
sorrow. Long and lovingly they watched over the patient sufferer, hoping
against hope that she might recover, unwilling at the last moment to give her
up. Amanda was twenty-one years of age. When but a child, she gave
her heart to God and joined the Methodist church at Elk Run. Her genial
disposition and
thoughtfulness for others won for her a legion of friends, as was shown by
the large number in attendance at the obsequies. Her last hours were spent
in talking to the members of her family about the mysterious journey she was
about to take and assuring them that she was ready and anxious to go. She
asked her friends to sing “Rock of Ages” and thus calmly, sweetly fell asleep to
awake in that world of glory and beauty “where the wicked cease from troubling
and the weary are at rest.”
UPDYKE, DAUGHTER Amanda Updyke ( SRGP 13311)
The sad announcement was made Sunday morning of the death during the night,

2 o’clock, Rev. Daniel Stoker, of Mainesburg, officiating. The burial was
in charge of A. C. Young, assisted by John Beeman, of Troy. Interment in
Watson cemetery. Sympathy for the afflicted family and respect for the
departed found expression in a profusion of flowers throughout the church and
about the bier, which was literally enveloped in them. The casket was very
handsome and of a pattern not hitherto seen here. (Handwritten date 1903)
ANSON UPDYKE (SRGP 10839) Mr. Anson Updyke died March 3d, at the home

his young wife he leaves to mourn his loss a kind father and mothers, Mr. and
Mrs. H. C. Updike; four brothers, Elmer, Foster, Walter and Colie; and three
sisters, Mrs. Ray Smith, Amanda and Helen all residing near Elk Run. We can
truthfully say of the departed that he was a kind and loving husband; a good
Christian, honest, upright, of exemplary habits, possessing all the qualities
that make a good citizen and neighbor. The funeral was held at the M. E. Church
at Roseville, March 5th at 2 p.m. where a large crowd gathered in honor of the

The funeral services were held at the family residence, and were conducted by Rev. West, of Jobs Corners, assisted by Rev. Stoker, of Roseville. The text, “She hath done what she could,” was very appropriate to the life she had lived. She endured her sufferings with great fortitude and was uniformly cheerful and appreciative of every service rendered her. She was quite feeble for several weeks and her death was not unexpected, though the end came quite suddenly. She was a woman of excellent character, esteemed in life and mourned in death. Her funeral was attended by a large circle of relatives and friends. She died in peace, trusting fully in the blessed Savior. Her memory is precious.
