| 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. |

BURLEY MARY C.
Wellsboro Gazette – May 8, 1919
French Hill, May 7 – The many friends of Mrs. Otis Erway, of Knoxville,
will regret to learn of her death, which occurred last Friday morning about
3 o’clock. About two months ago she underwent an operation for gall
trouble at the Arnot Ogden Hospital in Elmira. The operation appeared
to be successful and although in a weakened condition she was able to be
removed to her home about six weeks ago. She seemed to be getting
along fairly well until about two weeks ago after her return home, when
she took a turn for the worse and gradually failed until the end came.
Mary C. Erway was born in Chathm and was 50 years of age. She was
a daughter of the late Ebenezer and Martha Burley. She was united
in marriage to Otis Erway, April 29, 1888, and to them were born two daughters,
Mrs. Eva King and Mrs. Mattie King, both of Deerfield. She is also
survived by her husband and two sisters, Mrs. Ida Tremaine and Mrs. Helen
French, both of Middlebury, also two brothers – Emmett Burley, of Westfield,
and Ebbie Burley of Chatham. Mrs. Erway has been a faithful member
of the Methodist church for more than twenty years, and will be greatly
missed in her home and community where she had spent all her married life
until about six months ago when Mr. Erway bought a home in Knoxville, where
they moved. The death of Mrs. Erway seems doubly sad, as only a few
months ago another sister was summoned to a brighter and better home.
The funeral was held Sunday at the late home of the deceased , Rev. Conrad,
of Rochester, N.Y., officiating. The large concourse of friends and
relatives at the services testified as to the love and esteem in which
Mrs. Erway was held. The family and relatives wish to thank the neighbors
and friends who so kindly assisted and lent a sympathizing hand during
their sad bereavement, also to the singers and those who contributed beautiful
floral offerings.
