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.

DUNHAM - MILLERTON’S CENTENARIAN DIES AT DAUGHTER’S HOME
JUNE 15, 1939
Millerton—Mrs. Martha Miller, known throughout this area as “Aunt Martha” died at her daughter’s home here Thursday at 1 a.m. within three months of her 101st birthday. She had been in declining health for several months.
A year ago, Sept. 27, 1938, Millerton residents joined in a community celebration of her 100th anniversary, holding a parade, birthday party and special religious services at which she was the principal speaker. Her memory then was unimpaired and she told in detail of the organization and activities of the Methodist Church which she joined when 12 years of age. Mrs. Miller and her father were the leaders in the movement to build a Methodist Church in Millerton and solicited funds throughout the area as well as sponsored social activities to raise funds. The building was dedicated in 1853 and the congregation moved from the school to the new religious home. She was a charter member of the Helen Payne Bible Class and of the Foreign Mission Society. She served for many years as a country school teacher and also as a teacher in the Sunday School. Her life was centered in the church and even as she approached her 100th birthday she seldom missed a Sunday service.
Mrs. Miller, the former Margaret Dunham, was the youngest of 12 children. Her father was Col. Hezekiah Dunham, pioneer settler of Webbs Mills who moved to Millerton when Martha was 10 years old. He received his military title just after the Revolutionary War when he commanded a company of militia stationed at Towanda. An ambitious young lady, Miss Martha began to teach school at the age of 15 years. Through an old friend, Dr. Nathaniel Smith, the first doctor in Millerton, she received her certificate to teach in Pennsylvania. He had been appointed district inspector. She later was licensed to teach in New York State. At the age of 18, she married James Miller, grandson of Garrett Miller, the first settler of Millerton who went there in 1800. Except for two years during the Civil War, when they lived in Wisconsin, Mrs. Miller and her husband resided in Millerton. Two daughters died at an early age and then was born a son, James, and a daughter, Lena, both of whom survive her. Her husband died 40 years ago. She is also survived by five grandsons and nine great grandchildren. One of her grandsons is Lieut. Col. Lehman W. Miller of the United States Army. Funeral services will be held Sunday at 2 p.m. at the Millerton Methodist church with the Rev. Ernest Devine, pastor, officiating. Burial will be in the Millerton Cemetery.

WILSON - John WILSON, an old resident of this place, died at about seven o'clock last Friday evening, after an illness of only about three days. Although about eighty years old, Mr. WILSON was active as a man twenty years younger, and had been noticed as particularly sprightly during the summer just past. Many in the village had not even heard of his illness, and were first made aware of it and its fatal termination by the tolling of the church bell Saturday morning. Deceased was formerly a farmer, but removed to this village some sixteen or eighteen years ago, where he has since resided. He was twice married; the issue by his first marriage being a son and daughter, viz: nathaniel Wilson, of Wells, Pa., and Mrs. Asa Jackson, of this village. By his second wife he had one daughter, Mrs. Bart. Buchanan, of Caton. His second wife died two or three years ago, and recently, while not engaged in travelling through the country on business, he made his home with his children, his death occurring at the house of Mrs. JACKSON. The funeral was held in this village last Sunday, Rev. MEEKER officiating, and was quite largely attended. Interment was in Millerton Cemetery by the side of relatives gone before.
