| 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. |

HOTELLING ELLIS
Wellsboro Agitator – August 19, 1908
Ellis Hotelling, of Corning, Succumbed to Delerium Tremens Friday,
Ellis L. Hotelling, aged about 35, formerly of this vicinity, died in jail
Friday evening about 7:15 o'clock, his death being caused by delerium tremens.
He was formerly a New York Central engineer and of late had been employed
as a bartender in Corning. .About two years ago he deserted his wife
and six children and went to Corning where he had since been living with
a woman named Crumm. Hotelling was arrested a year or more ago on
the charge of desertion and non-support of his family. He was sentenced
to pay $20 per month to his wife, but this he failed to do.
The Tioga County Commissioners have been supporting the family and Sheriff
Hatfleld has been waiting for an opportunity to arrest Hotelling for some
time. On Tuesday Hotelling and the Crumm woman came to Wellsboro,
Hotelling being intoxicated and therefore reckless, for he probably knew
the Sheriff was waiting with a capias for him. But he wanted to see
the doings on Wednesday and Thursday and perhaps thought he wouldn't be
noticed in the crowd. But he had hardly struck town when the
Sheriff nabbed him and he was lodged in jail about 11 o'clock Tuesday night.
The funeral was held on Sunday; burial in the Niles Valley cemetery.
