| 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. |

BRIGGS Ebenezer H
Wellsboro Agitator, Tioga, PA-Wednesday, December 11,1901

this (Middlebury) township about 1830. He married in 1838 Miss Rhoda Smith,

People of this locality are glad that there is now a real cemetery here.
It is reported that the inclosure is already fenced and graded and the
directors are ready to all lots. Some burials have taken place on the site
since 1864, but the cemetery was not chartered til within a year past.

KEENEY Ransom
Wellsboro Agitator, Tioga, PA--Wednesday, October 28, 1903
Crooked Creek, Oct 27--The death, at his home here on the 19th instant,
of Mr Ransom Keeney, aged 91, severed another of the very few links connecting
Tioga county of the present with the pioneer epoch in its progress. The
deceased was born April 5, 1812 in Syracuse, NY but when only 4 years old,
was brought to this locality by his parents when they settled here. At
that time this region was an almost primeval wilderness, the pioneer settler's
neighbors were but few, and comforts and some of the necessaries of life,
were secured only with difficulty. Mr Keeney married Rhoana Huntsinger,
December 27, 1834. To them were born 11 children, 4 of whom survive: Mrs
George Goodwin of this place, Mr M C Keeney of Tioga and C P and S H Keeney
of Wellsboro. The deceased was the great-grandfather of Mr Harry Keeney
of Wellsboro and the gr-gr-grandfather of Harry's daughter, Louise, aged
8 weeks. He leaves also other descendants besides those named. When Mr
Keeney was young he taught school for several terms. He then bought and
cleared the farm now owned by Eugene Keeney. Except a few years passed
in Michigan, the subject of this sketch spent his worthy life in Middlebury
twp. He was a lifelong, Christian, never used profane language or drank
intoxicants. Being possessed of an amicable and loving disposition
he won the respect and esteem of all who knew him. The deceased was
great, great grandfather of Harry Whitney, of Wellsboro, who has a child
two months old.
