DEAN Earl W.
Wellsboro -- Earl W. Dean was kind of like the comeback kid --- that is he always had a snappy comeback or funny quip to pass on, family members and friends said. Mr. Dean, 69, of RD3, Wellsboro, died Friday, Aug 12, 1994, at Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hospital in Wellsboro. Family members said Mr. Dean died of complications from a previous heart condition. Evidence of Dean's years of wit came with a card from a couple who own the local pharmacy: "There are so many memories we have of Earl and almost all of them involve laughter and him telling a joke. He's a great guy and we'll miss him," they wrote. "He was always telling a joke and saying something funny," said his granddaughter, Kelly Kreitner of Wellsboro. "Whatever he said, no matter what he said, it always came out funny." Mr. Dean was born April 2, 1925, in Tioga, PA, to Harry and Elsie Bates Bean. He quit school in the ninth grade to begin working, and family members said he rarely stopped up until his death. Mr. Dean met his wife Phyllis when they were just teen-agers and he would pull up in an old Model T Ford to buy gas at his future father-in-law's store. "He would always get 10 cents worth of gas," Mrs. Dean said. "I hated to see him come because I would have to go out and pump it." However, Mr. Dean ended up convincing her to marry him and the couple --he was 18, she was 17 ---settled in Charleston, just outside Wellsboro. He and his wife, the former Phyllis White, observed their 51st wedding anniversary June 26. Mr. Dean first worked for Corning Glass Works, Corning, NY, and in 1968 he and his wife opened the former Sub Shop on Crafton Street in Wellsboro. They ran the shop for 15 years before selling it to their daughter. He owned the former Tioga Roofing and Siding Co. here. He was a lifelong resident of Tioga County. He was an avid Braves fan. Besides playing all types of card games and watching baseball, Phyllis said her husband also enjoyed traveling. The couple made several automobile trips to California. "He wasn't one to sit still," she said. Preceding him in death were infant son Thomas and infant daughter, Sandra; twin brother, Merle L. Dean; brothers, Elijah Dean and John Dean; and one sister, Judy Buchanan. Besides his wife, other survivors include daughters Joanna Goodwin and Cathy Horning, both of Wellsboro; son, Bob Dean of Wellsboro; sister, Minnie Norton of Shunk, PA; nine grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. The funeral will be at 2 pm Monday at Tussey-Mosher's, 139 Main St., with the Rev. Peter A. Devantier, officiating. Burial will be in Whitneyville Cemetery.

EATON Mary J
Wellsboro Agitator, Tioga, PA - Wed., August 14, 1907, Pg 1
Mrs. David Wilcox, aged nearly 71, of Charleston, was thrown from a buggy about 5 o'clock last Tuesday afternoon [8/6/1907] and was almost instantly killed.  Mrs. Wilcox, with her daughter, Mrs. David J. Jones of Charleston and her sister, Mrs. Emily Gerow of Elmira, were on their way home and stopped at the watering trough near the J. Rose farm to water their horse, Mrs. Jones getting out to uncheck the animal.  The water supply at this trough comes through a pipe which discharges the stream with more force than usual at times and the sudden spurting of the water frightened the horse, which threw up its head.  Mrs. Jones seized the horse by the bridle, but the animal jerked loose leaving the bridle in Mrs. Jones hand and dashed off down the road.  At the crossroads or corners near the John Bowen farm, the horse turned sharply to the right, ran up a steep bank and overturned the buggy, throwing out Mrs. Wilcox and her sister, who struck on a pile of stones,  Mrs. Wilcox struck on her head, which crushed her skull and Mrs. Gerow sustained three broken ribs, besides numerous bruises.  Mrs. Wilcox, whose maiden name was Mary J. Eaton, was born in Worcester, Mass, on September 18, 1836, and was married to Mr. Wilcox on October 14, 1854, who survives her with her daughter, Mrs. Grace Jones of Charleston and two sons, Mr. Joseph A. Wilcox of Charleston, and Mr. Sidney D. Wilcox of Jamestown, NY.  One sister, Mrs. Gerow of Elmira; one half-sister, Mrs. Clare Mastin, of Ulysses, Potter County and two half brothers, Messrs Frank B. Eaton of East Charleston and Lincoln Eaton of Millerton, also survive her.  Her brother, Mr. Thomas Eaton, was killed near New York several years ago.  Mr. Wilcox, husband of the deceased, has been an invalid for many years, being afflicted with senile gangrene brought on from hardship and exposure while serving in the Civil War.  The deceased was a woman of beautiful Christian character and was beloved by all who knew her.  She was a great bible student and was noted for her deeds of kindness and charity to those in distress.  Her friends were countless and her death is widely mourned.  A correspondent in speaking of Mrs. Wilcox says: "Mrs. Wilcox was a loving wife and mother, and was beloved by all who knew her.  A sincere Christian, she has gone to see Christ in the place he prepared for her, where every house is a palace, every step is a triumph, every day is a joy, every hour a rapture and every moment an ecstacy.  She has been within the (.?.) of the Christian church and very near to the warm and loving heart of Jesus." Funeral services were held on Friday at 10am, Rev. E. A. Anderson of East Charleston, assisted by Rev. W. J. Lewis of Keeneyville, officiating; burial in the East Charleston cemetery, the services being very largely attended.  The floral offerings were many and beautiful.
