| 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. |

BEACH Lucy Rebecca
Wellsboro Agitator, Tioga, PA - Wed., Feb 9, 1916, Pg 1
Marshlands, Feb 7 - Mrs Rebecca Bernauer, widow of the late Joshua
Bernauer, who died a year ago last November, died at the home of her step-daughter,
Mrs. Rena B. Flynn, at West Pike, PA., Feb. 3. She resided on the
farm here after the death of her husband until last April, when she went
to West Pike to reside. Her maiden name was Lucy Rebecca Beach and
she was born at Springfield, Bradford County, a little over 76 years ago.
When a young girl she moved with her parents, brothers and sisters to Covington,
where they resided for a few years after which they moved to this place.
Neary 59 years ago she was married to Joshua Bernauer, a widower with one
daughter. To this union were born four children, two of whom survive,
Morris J. Bernauer, of Lawrenceville, and Herbert E. Bernauer, of Rock
Stream, NY. Her step-daughter, Mrs. Rena B. Flynn, also survives,
together with one grandchild, two step-grandchildren and three step-great-grandchildren.
Her brothers and sisters all preceded her in death. Her husband,
the late Joshua Bernauer, was one of the pioneer residents of this place.
The funeral was held at the Baptist church here, of which the deceased
was a member, Feb. 5, Rev. J. I. Reese officiating; interment in the Marshlands
Cemetery. Mr and Mrs Bernauer were always kind and hospital (hospitable)
people and their home was always open to everybody. Needy people
were never turned away, if it was in their power to help them. The
old home is broken up and will probably pass entirely out of the family.

FEIG - DUCLOS
Bettie Feig (Steinhauser) 80, died Sunday, February 15, 2004,
at Elcor Health Services, Horseheads. Born October 3, 1923 in Hornell,
NY, she was the daughter of Dr. Chester A. Feig and Maude Dewey Feig. Bettie
was raised in Mansfield, PA, and attended Mansfield State College, majoring
in music. In 1944, she married her first husband, Robert Steinhauser of
Elmira, NY, now of Canandaigua, NY. In 1971, she married Norman Duclos
of Wellsburg. Both her former spouses survive her. Bettie is survived by
her three children and their spouses: sons, Howard "Steiny" and Georgie
Steinhauser of Chino Valley, AZ,and Terry and Donna Steinhauser of Clarence,
NY; a daughter, Lynne (Theron)Andrews of Elmira, NY; grandchildren, Marci
Krantz and Erik Steinhauser of Chino Valley, AZ, Jason Andrews of Atlanta,
GA, Andre and Anastasia Steinhauser of Clarence, NY; stepgrandson, Timothy
Andrews of Atlanta, GA, and Jeff; two great-grandchildren; as well as several

predeceased by sisters, Ruth FeigGillmore of Harrisburg, and Yvonne Zito
Dewitt of Arizona. Bettie was formerly employed by Sheehans Department
Store and Iszards Tea Room. She was a member of Riverside Methodist
Church. Bettie had two things she cherished most in life, her family and
good music. The product of an extremely musically talented family, Bettie
had a beautiful alto voice. She sang professionally, as a ballad
singer, under the name "Bettie Craig" from the mid 1940's through 1968.
In 1959, Bettie appeared on the Ted Mack Show in New York, and was
chosen to tour with his band in PA and NJ that summer. She turned
down a subsequent offer to continue singing professionally in New York
City because being a mother to her three children was her top
priority. Thereafter, she limited her singing jobs to local engagements
only, appearing often with the Charlie Tremaine Orchestra, the Charlie
Ponzi Bank, and occasionally with the Sgro Brothers. She sang at
places such as Libs Supper Club, Rustic Gardens, The Castle in Olean, on
the radio, for Artic League telecasts, and for many weddings and banquets
in the area until 1967. Bettie was proud of her Dewey family history and
educated her children about their genealogy from the time they were little.
Her children willremember her as a loving mother and grandmother, who taught
them about tolerance, respect, and being the best you can be. Bettie cherished
any time she could spend with her children and grandchildren. She was a
shy and unassuming woman filled with much kindness and grace. In her final
years, Bettie was ravaged by the devastating effects of crippling rheumatoid
arthritis which left her with a weakened immune system. She is finally
at peace. There will be a memorial service at the Collins-Olney Funeral
Home, Galeton, PA, to be announced at a later date. Bettie will be
buried with many of her ancestors in Knowlton-Elk Run Cemetery near Watrous,
PA. Her family wishes to thank the nurses and staff at Elcor Nursing Home
and also Southern Tier Hospice. Contributions in Bettie's name may be made
to the Arthritis Foundation, 1330 W. Peachtree St., Atlanta, GA 30309,
or the Chemung County SPCA.
