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.

Joyce,
Just a note to tell you why I am submitting this...I was at the Steele
Memorial Library on Tuesday August 11, 2007, and met a woman who is searching
for an obituary for her relative. I looked up the person in the Social
Security Death Index and also on your website for a cemetery listing.
Both names and dates match. As I was searching, the woman left the
library, so I didn't get to share this information. I'd like to share
it with you so that it can be posted online. I have a photo copy
of both the early edition and the final edition of the July 3, 1979 Star-Gazette
- the only date in which this death notice is published.
She was searching for OSBORNE, THORPE, SPRAGUE
I have a photocopy of the obituary for the woman who was seeking this
information. If she will contact me, I will forward this to her.
