| 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. |

The little ship sailed into port and then put out to sea, and bore away
our dear Archie out of his misery. He was tired and could not tarry, so
he went on alone, to the place where his blessed Lord has prepared his
mansion home. These were almost his parting words; "Ere they place me under
the son, O my darling loved ones, Prepare to meet thy God. "I know that
I must leave you that I am going home; O, my dear, dear darling loved ones,
Promise me you will come. "And meet me in heaven, Yes, on that blessed
shore, Where there's no more pain and sadness, But Joy, joy forevermore."

GILKEY HYPASHA
Wellsboro Agitator, Tioga, PA-- Wednesday, February 6, 1901
Roundtop, Feb. 5--- Mrs. Hypatia Bockus died at the home of her son
here, last Friday morning, of pneumonia, after a short illness.
Mrs Bockus's maiden name was Gilkey and she was born in Windsor County,
Vermont, February 13, 1812. She came to Charleston and was married
to Joseph Bockus October 8th, 1835. They settled here, where they
remained and reared a family of 4 children. Her husband died in 1859,
since which time her home was with her youngest son, Philander, who remained
on the homestead farm, and is the only one of her children who survives
her. Susan, her eldest child, died in 1860, aged 24; the next child,
Mrs Fulton Smith, aged 28, joined her sister the year following, and Alonzo
died in 1880 at his home in the West whither he had moved with his family
soon after the Civil war. One sister, Mrs Sally Williams, of Brookfield,
survives Mrs. Bockus. The deceased had been for many years a member
of the Wesleyan Church here. She possessed a kind and loving disposition
and was esteemed highly. Her remains were buried here beside those
of the loved ones who had preceded her, Rev. H. Wilkins officiating.
It was not thought prudent to have a public funeral because of the illness
of the two other members of the family.
