| 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. |

COOK PHEBE KEMP
In Farmington Pa March 21 1880 Mrs. Phebe Kemp relict of Mr. John A
Kemp deceased. The subject of this memoir was born in
the town of Lindley ,Steuben county NY in the year 1798 and was therefore
82 years of age. Some fifty years or over ago she was united in marriage
to John A Kemp then living in Lawrenceville Pa and soon thereafter moved
into the town of Farmington to brave the wilds of a frontier life in almost
unbroken wilderness inhabited only by the wild beasts of the forest. But
with all the disadvantages of frontier life, father and mother Kemp succeeded
in securing and carving out a comfortable home. The mighty forests were
cleared away and in their place the fields were made to yield fruit and
grain and to blossom like the rose. The family of children that were born,
raised and educated here were five - three girls and two boys, namely Elizabeth
Catlin who lives in Andover NY, Anna Sheardown, Winona Minn, Mary Green
Nelson Pa, David and Albert who live in Farmington. Albert lives on the
old homestead where the father and mother both died. The sons and daughters
of these old pioneers are generally all well situated. Mother Kemp
had been a faithful Christian worker in the M E Church for a period of
over fifty five years and first united with that denomination at Lawrenceville.
She was a very amiable woman and lived to do much good, setting an example
to the rising generation that should be followed by all. But the great
Father called her home after spending many years of usefulness here on
earth. Old age and paralysis were the causes which terminated her life.
The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. H. Lamkin. She now lies buried
by the side of her husband in the cemetery at Farmington Hill beneath a
noble and beautiful monument. (Daughter of David Cook and Elizabeth
Cady - Betsy Gorman, Elmira, NY.)
