Joyce's Search Tip - January 2008 
Do You Know that you can search just the Obituaries on the site by using the three County Specific Obituary selections in the Partitioned search engine at the bottom of the Current What's New Page? You can narrow your search by including a key word in the cemetery name or a township name in addition to the surname you search. Then select the Find All Words option.
You'll also find obituary and other newspaper clippings using Clippings partition. Additional clippings can be found in the Birth, Marriage, and some other partitions. 
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.

PALMER Carl Kenneth
Star-Gazette, Friday, March 17, 1989 - Palmer was a dedicated dairy farmer - Obituary
Little Marsh - Carl K. Palmer used knowledge gained from a life on a farm to improve the lives of other dairy farmers.  The son of a farmer, Palmer grew up, operated his own farm and raised his son to be a farmer.  He was one of the early founders of the Middlevury Cooperative Milk Producers Association.  "It was important to the farm operation he was running.  He was in the milk business," said his son, Kenneth Palmer.  Carl Palmer of Little Marsh RD 1 died of cancer Wednesday at Soldiers and Sailors Hospital, Wellsboro.  He was 78.  Calling hours are 1-2 p.m. today at Tussey-Mosher Funeral Home, Wellsboro, to be followed by a funeral service.  His pastor, the Rev. Jay Morris, will officiate.  Burial will be in Middlebury Union Cemetery.  The cooperative was started in about 1939 - tough times for dairy farmers, said Kenneth Palmer and his mother, Cora.  "The situation was so bad that you had to do something for your own produce, " Mrs. Palmer said.  "Milk wasn't bringing a price the farmer could undertake in farming."  Because of that, the farmers organized a cooperative and bargained with the milk companies.  "It was due to some law change at the time that allowed groups to organize to become co-ops," Kenneth Palmer said.  "It made the farmers stick together so they all received the same price, instead of each individual farmer dealing with a (milk) business." Carl Palmer was the secretary/treasurer of the cooperative for 33 years, and served as a delegate to cooperative conventions in Syracuse, Mrs. Palmer said.  Kenneth Palmer now is operating the farm on which he grew up.  He and his father had been partners.  Carl Palmer also served as school director for Chatham Township for 12 years - a volunteer position, his son said.

POPE - Rev. Dryden A. Pope, who died at his home in Chatham on Saturday, the 6th instant (July 6, 1889), was a man of sterling worth and usefulness. He had been in poor health for a year or more, and fully understood that the end of this life was near, but he was not confined to his bed, and was outdoors looking after his affairs only the night before he died. The immediate cause of his death seemed to be of an apoplectic nature. Dryden A. Pope was a native of Connecticut, where he was born April (5) 1816. When he was five years of age his parents moved to Binghamton, NY, where the boy grew to man’s estate. He attended the common schools of that day, and by working and teaching managed to secure a fair education. He learned the trade of a carpenter and millwright, and did much work in building bridges for the New York and Erie Railway when that road was constructed through southern New York. Mr. Pope was converted quite early in life and entered the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal church. In 1856 he moved to Chatham in this county (Tioga), where he purchased 178 acres of wild land which he afterward cleared and brought into a good state of cultivation. On this farm he remained all the rest of his life. After coming to Chatham he joined the Freewill Baptist Church and became and remained a diligent preacher of that denomination until a few years ago, when failing health compelled him to retire from the active ministry. While residing at Binghamton Mr. Pope wedded, Miss Lucy A. Roberts, who survives him. The couple were blessed with six children, of whom five are still living. Mr. Pope was a man of much more than ordinary intelligence, of decided convictions and of great moral courage. In life his labors and example were helpful and inspiring to his fellow-men, and now that he is gone to his reward his memory among those who knew him will long. - Wellsboro Agitator, July 16, 1889, p.3
