Joyce's Search Tip - December 2007 -
Do You Know that you can search just the 600 pages of Tioga County Cemetery Records on the site by using the Cemeteries -Tioga button in the Partitioned search engine at the bottom of the Current What's New Page? If you use that partition follow these steps to search just one cemetery
1. Choose Cemeteries - Tioga. 
2. Enter part of the cemetery name [ie Newbury or Furman] AND a surname.
3. Choose the Find ALL Words option. Then it will find just the pages with that surname in the one cemetery you indicated. 

Dailey or Adams or Niles or Guernsey or Mill Creek Cemetery

Tioga Township, Tioga Co., PA
Near Mill Creek Inn on route 15 North of Mansfield, Pa. Inscriptions copied by Engineers of Tioga Hammond Dam site Project 1968

Relocated to Oakwood Cemetery in Mansfield (Richmond Township)

In Volume 4 of Tioga County Cemeteries, all of the material on this page appears together. I am assuming that it all describes the same cemetery as some names are repeated, but others are not. Apparently each reading revealed stones or information that the others did not. This is one of several cemeteries destroyed by the Tioga Hammond Dam Project. Tombstones relocated to Oakwood Cemetery in Mansfield

Niles Cemetery - Adams Cemetery - Dailey Cemetery - Guernsey Cemetery - are alternate names for the same burials - Now relocated in Oakwood. Referred to in 1883 history as Mill Creek Cemetery.

Note from Joyce M. Tice - I have scanned images of about FIFTY Niles - Dailey - Mudge family photos all unidentified. They are roughly Civil War era photos. If you have photos from this family perhaps you could help me identify these.

Tioga Township and Borough, by Henry H. Goodrich
On page 279, the following-Forty Tombstones with inscriptions were noted by the writer and
seventeen graves without monuments were plainly visible.
Here, Grandfather and Grandmother Niles lie,in unmarked graves. Standing there that bright,
sunny cheerful day - snowless, though the winter's month it was - the writer could not help but
feel that kind nature looked lovingly down on the sod where these two venerable early settlers
lay in peace and hallowed it with more than the usual grace and sacredness.

Obituaries -

DAILEY - MRS. CLARA D. BRACE (SRGP 02110)
Mrs. Clara D. Brace died at her home in Rutland, Wednesday Evening, November 10, at 9:45. It came as a great shock to her family and friends as she was always helping others in sickness, and those who were not sick. She had been in poor health for several years, but was able to be around most of the time. Death was due to pneumonia. Mrs. Clara D. Brace was born in Tioga, September 16, 1861, a daughter of Martin Van Buren and Mary Dailey.She was united in marriage to Frank K. Brace March 11, 1885, he being dead nine years last July. She had made her home last winter in Tioga at her sister’s Mrs. Letta D. McKinney, and most of the summer at Mansfield caring for Mrs. Dailey until her death; also stayed a while until she went to Elmira for two weeks, caring for Mrs. Albert Armstrong. She will be greatly missed in her community and home. She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Ira Giles, of Rutland and Mrs. Robert Giles of Sullivan; also two sisters, Mrs. Leta D. McKinney of Tioga, and Mrs. D. C. McAllister, of Olean, N.Y.; and one brother, M. E. Dailey, of Corning. The funeral was largely attended at Lawrence Corners M. E. Church. Rev. Seymour Barrett, of Tioga, officiated. The pall bearers were Liston Stickler, Nelson Stickler, Fred Stickler, Ross Watkins, Glenn Brace, John Grimm. Burial in Dailey Cemetery beside her husband. [Relocated to Oakwood]
