| 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. |

CORNING MAN ENDS HIS LIFE
Corning—George William ST. JAMES, 64, Riverside, died at the
Corning Hospital at 12:05 a.m. Sunday from injuries inflicted late Saturday
afternoon when he discharged a shotgun into his mouth during a fit of despondency
brought on by prolonged illness. He remained conscious for more than
20 minutes, explaining that he "did not want to stay around any longer."
It is believed that the suicide attempt was planned well in advance. Mr.
St. James was the victim of diabetes and had been ill for about three years.
He maintained a chicken farm near his home but recently had been able to
devote but little time to this business. He was confined to his bed Thursday
and Friday and was attended by his housekeeper. While the housekeeper was
in this city she called at the office of Dr. C. J. Tomer, 71 Bridge Street,
to discuss her employer’s case. The physician agreed to call upon the patient
at once and after his visitor departed he went to the St. James home, arriving
at 4:10 p.m. Entering, he found Mr. St. James seated on a chair, his head
held above a tin pail into which blood was flowing from a head wound. He
was removed to the hospital where he became unconscious. At the hospital
he was treated by Dr. Stephen V. Collins who strove vainly to save the
patient’s life. Death came shortly after midnight while Mr. St. James was
surrounded by members of his family. He leaves four sons, Olin, Riverside;
Floyd, Bristol, Conn; Thelbert, Addison and Lewis,Berwick, Pa., and two
daughters, Mrs. Roy Brownell, Addison and Miss Louise St. James, Berwick.
He is also survived by his father, Morris St. James, Jewett, Pa., a brother

has been removed to the Phillips funeral home, West Pulteney Street, from
which place the funeral will be held Wednesday at 1 p.m. with the Rev.

In the night of June 9th, 1904, Henry SHERMAN, of Rutland, Pa.
(SRGP
13605)
In the bloom of youth was snatched away
By Death’s resistless hand.
In the soft season of his youth—in Nature’s early smiling bloom,
After 18 years had passed along, he was summoned to the silent tomb.
In the morn of his life, so fair and gay,
So cheerful and so bright,
With bright hopes to illumine each opening day,
He tried to keep the bright side in sight.
Before the shades of sorrow found
The sunshine of his days,
And cares and toil, in endless round,
Encompassed all his ways.
Before his heart the woes of age with vain regret did deplore,
He did improve his morn of life to spend its evening on the other shore.
He was a youth devoted to the Lord, his life was pleasing in our eyes;
A flower was offered while in the bud, but as no vain sacrifice.
Early in life’s young days
He sought wisdom’s peaceful ways,
And did walk the path of truth;
He was a kind and loving youth,
From his life did streams of purest pleasure flow;
Within his life did honors bloom and virtues grow.
He loved his stepmother, to him so dear;
He tried hard to please her while he was here.
He was to his father a loving, obedient son,
And by his kindness his brother and sister’s love won.
Hiss associates loved his affable way,
He was the life of their sports and play.
In his love and respect he was honest and true,
And in their friendship and confidence he grew.
In God’s own word his way is sure,
And clear to every eye;
It led him in a path secure
To a bright world on high.
He died in Jesus, and is blessed
How peaceful his slumbers are;
From suffering and from sin released,
And freed from every snare.
Far from this world of toil and strife,
He’s joined the angel band,
And, as he often said in his life;
“Some day, mother, we’ll understand.”
He has gone to the grave; you can no longer behold him, your joy and
pride,
Nor walk the rough path of life by his side;
But the wide arms of mercy are spread to enfold thee,
And the lamp of God’s love will be thy guide, so your way to him you
can see.
The last sad rites were held in the Roseville Baptist Church, bedecked
with flowers grand,
Sent from far and near by some kind and loving hand.
The pall-bearers were young men whom he had always knew;
The flower-bearers were girls of his life-long acquaintance, too;
Rev. L. M. Gates officiated, of Mansfield, Pa.,
A large concourse of people gathered their last tribute to pay.
He was laid to rest in the Watson burial ground;
His last resting place on earth is now represented by a mound.
Henry SHERMAN, (SRGP 13605) son of Hiram and Lydia Sherman, died on Wednesday morning at two o’clock. He had been ailing for some time and puzzled the doctors to some extent.

Gates of Mansfield officiating. Burial in Watson cemetery. He leaves to mourn, a father, stepmother, one sister, Mrs. John Davis and a brother, L. G. Sherman of Elmira.

SHERMAN, HIRAM A. (SRGP 07379)
Sometime in the early thirties Charles and Matilda Lake Sherman
immigrated from the state of Rhode Island to Rutland, Pa., and settled
on a farm about one mile southeast of what is now Roseville boro.
On September 1, 1843, there was born to them a son, Hiram, he being the
third of a family of five children. When the babe was only three
weeks old the family made a visit to their old home in Rhode Island, making
the trip with ox teams. It was upon this farm that young Hiram
grew to manhood. Upon the death of his parents he acquired possission
of the old homestead, which he still owned at the time of his death, January
16, 1924, and upon which he had always lived until six years ago when because
of declining health he was compelled to rent the farm and take up his residence
in Roseville. Mr. Sherman was that type of a man that all, both young
and old, loved and respected. His kindly disposition and pleasing
smile will long be remembered by those who knew him. He was until
failing health prevented, a regular attendant at church and for many years,
was a leader in the singing of both local congregations. Mr. Sherman
was twice married, his first wife, Elizabeth James, died January 19, 1890.
On June 23, 1893, he married Lydia Nesbitt of Kingston, Pa., who with a
daughter, Mrs. John Davis, and a son, L. G. Sherman survive him.
The funeral was held from the late home Saturday, January 19, and was largely
attended. The service was conducted by Rev. Orey Crippen, of the
Baptist church, and Rev. Seymore Barrett, a former pastor, spoke feelingly
of his acquaintance with Mr. Sherman. The Sylvania Male Quartet had
charge of the singing. Truly a good man is gone, but his memory will
be long cherished by those who knew him best.
