| 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.

BABCOCK Ida Eliza
Mrs. Ida Eliza Christian who died on December 11, was born February
5, 1864. Her death followed a short illness of influenza followed
by pneumonia. Two sons and two daughters, John W. Campbell of Ulster,
Hiram I. Campbell of Ithaca, N. Y. and Mrs. Herbert L. Norton of Sayre,
and Mrs. Fannie Sullivan who resided with her mother at their home on Hatch
Hill, survive. Her father of Athens and three brothers and sisters
and eleven grand-children also survive. The Rev. Smith, pastor of
the Baptist church of New Albany, officiated at the services and interment
was made in the Hatch Hill cemetery. The obituary was pinned to a
note believed to have been written by Mertie WAYMAN Hakes of Towanda.
The newspaper was unidentified and undated but the year 1918 seems to be
confirmed by a casualty list on the reverse side of the clipping.
Another note in the same handwriting further identifies Eliza Christian
as Ida Eliza BABCOCK daughter of Isaac and Eliza BABCOCK of Nichols, NY,
b. 5 Feb. 1864, d. 11 Dec. 1918. John Bond
