These people were the local populace at a particular time. The people buried here knew each other, were neighbors, relatives and school mates.

TREAT Rufus Gates
Wellsboro Agitator – June 13, 1900
The death on the 4th instant of Mr. Rufus G. Treat, of East Chatham,
which was merely announced in the Agitator last week, occasioned widespread
mourning in the community of which he was a prominent and highly esteemed
member. His death was due to the effects of a fall he sustained last
winter, since aggravated by a severe attack of grip and heart failure.
Mr. Treat was the eldest son of Sylvester Treat, Sr., and was born on his
father’s farm in Chatham township, July 31, 1882, and there grew to manhood,
securing his education in the schools of that district. He owned
and occupied at the time of his death a part of the original farm settled
by his father, and was one of the most energetic and progressive farmers
in Chatham, where his life was spent. For 30 years he was Postmaster
at East Chatham. The deceased was a civil war veteran. He enlisted
in September, 1864, in Co. D, 199th Pa. Vols., and was in the battle of
Boydstown Plank Road on October 27, 1864, and for six weeks after was on
picket duty at Ford Sedgwick, whence he was transferred to the Army of
the James, under Gen. B. F. Butler, and later under Gen. O. C. Ond.
He received his final discharge from the service on July 8, 1865.
He was a member of the Alfred Toles Post, No. 320, G. A. R., and the Knights
of Honor. In politics he was a staunch Republican. Mr. Treat
was a good husband, a benign father and a very kind neighbor. He
was a man whom his acquaintances respected. He was always ready to
assist others in times of sickness and other troubles, and was a man of
strict integrity and high morality. He meditated much on religious
truths during the last six months of his life, and accepted salvation through
the merits of Christ. Mr. Treat was twice married, and was the father
of ten children, of whom only five, with his widow, survive him. The surviving
children are his sons, Jesse of East Chatham, and Ernest, a student at
Mansfield
Normal, and three daughters, Mrs. Caroline Ransom, of Clymer,
Mrs. Ada Palmer, of Nelson, and Mrs. Mary Conklin, of Riverside, Broome
county, N.Y. He is also survived by his brother, Sylvester, of East
Chatham, and his sister, Mrs. Dorinda Carl, of Argyle, N.Y. Funeral
services were held from Mr. Treat’s home at East Chatham last Wednesday
afternoon at two o’clock, his chosen pastor, Rev. J. W. Allatt, Methodist
clergyman at Little Marsh, officiating; assisted by Rev. Mr. Roberts of
Butler Hill. The burial, which was in the Lee cemetery, was in charge
of the G. A. R. The large concourse of neighbors, friends and
veteran comrades that attended the obsequies was a far more eloquent tribute
to Mr. Treat’s memory and far stronger evidence of sympathy with his bereaved
family than words can express. He will not soon be forgotten.
