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.

NILES JEROME BUTLER
Wellsboro Agitator - January 4, 1905
JUDGE NILES DEAD
He Passed Peacefully Away on Thursday.  Long and Remarkable Official Career Covering Nearly Forty Years.   Judge Jerome B. Niles died on Thursday afternoon at his home on Central avenue in this borough, about 4:30 o’clock.  His demise was painless and peaceful.   He bad seemed to be brighter and more cheerful that day than for several days before, and a few moments before his spirit took its flight he reached out and took a sip of milk. There were no symptoms to alarm those about him until his pulse began to flutter and his heart ceased to beat. Judge Niles had been steadily declining in health for over two years. Up to last fall he was able to occasionally get out for a ride and to be about the house more or less; but for some weeks he had been confined to his bed and grew weaker from day to day.  His attending physician and the specialist called in consultation were unable to discover any organic disease, it being evident that the Case was one of general debility which baffled the very best skill in treatment.  Judge Niles last official act was performed on Saturday, the 24th ultimo, when he affixed his signature to the writ of habeas corpus on which four of tbe Morris Run quarantine breakers were released from jail on bail.  Judge Niles was the Nestor of theTioga county bar, having been admitted to practice in our courts at the September term to 1861. He was too well known to the people of Tioga county to make an estimate of his character necessary here.   His genial nature and wide popularity among the people is demonstrated by the remarkable length of his official career and his success to winning votes whenever he went before the people as a candidate. Jerome B. Niles was born at Niles Valley, in this county, September 25, 1834. His youth was spent on his father's farm at Niles Valley, and he attended the common schools of the neighborhood until the fall of 1856, when he entered Union Academy, at Knoxville where he remained a year. In the fall of 1856 and 1858 he taught the district school in this borough. He finished reading law under the direction of Hon. Henry Sherwood, and was admitted to the bar at the September term of 1861.  After filling several minor offices he was, at the session of the Pennsylvania Legislature of 1862, appointed Message Clerk to the House.  This was the beginning of his political career. In the spring of  1861 be was appointed Mercantile Appraiser of Tioga county, and to the fall of the same year he was elected District Attorney and was re-elected in 1865.   He filled the office for six years. In 1864 he was again Message Clerk of the lower house of the Legislature. In the meantime he bad taken up his residence permanently in Wellsboro and entered into a law partnership with Stephen F. Wilson, which relationship continued until the latter went upon the bench. In 1868 he was elected a member of the Legislature and re-elected to 1869 without opposition.  At this time Tioga county was only entitled to one member in the House, and as much important legislation was demanded, a great deal of work necessarily devolved on him. It was during these sessions that a strenuous effort was made to dismember Tioga by taking away a portion of her territory to assist to forming a new county to be called Minnequa. Mr. Niles took an active part against the movement and contributed largely to its defeat.  In 1872 he was elected a member of the Constitutional Convention from the district composed of Cameron, McKean, Tioga and Potter counties He took a prominent part in the proceedings of that body, and was the author of the article relating to the formation of new counties. In 1880 he was again elected a member of tbe House, and in the ensuing session took a prominent position as a legislator. His experience and aptitude for leadership made him conspicuous in the movement which culminated In the election of Hon. John I Mitchell as United States Senator. Mr. Niles was re-elected a member of the House in 1882, and to view of tbe creditable reputation he had made during his several terms in that body, he became tbe nominee of tbe Republican caucus for Speaker.  As, however, the Democrats had a majority, he was defeated for election. In 1883 he was nominated by tbe Republicans for Auditor General of Pennsylvania and was elected. His term began on the first Monday of May, 1884, and he served the full term of three years.   It was during hit term and largely through his efforts that the law of 1885 was passed by which the taxable basis of money was augmented 150 per cent.  In 1860 he received nearly the entire vote of Tioga County for the Republican Congressional nomination in the Sixteenth district, but the nomination was given to Clinton county.  In 1892 this county again sent him to the Legislature, and at the session of 1898 he introduced the bill to equalize taxation and was prominent in putting it in proper shape and advocating its passage.  He was re-elected in 1894 and was an active participant in the debates of the long sessions of 1895, and strongly advocated the passage of the apportionment bills.  In addition to his legislative career, Mr. Niles had a good law practice.  For many years he was counsel for the County Commissioners.  He also represented large real estate interests, being for many years attorney for the Pennsylvania …Lumber and Land company and some large estates.  In tbe spring of  1900.  Mr. Niles  became a candidate for Judge to thls county.  The campaign was long and warmly oontested. He won the nomination and was elected that fall for a full term of ten years . But his friends could see that the.straln of the campaign had made inroads on his health and that he did not recover from the physical strain . He went upon the bench in January, 1901, and presided for the first time during the January term.  In the early part of the winter of 1902 he had an attack of grip, from which be never recovered. He was unable to preside at the May term in 1903, and from that time on his decline was steady.  Mr. Niles was married July 18,1858 to Phoebe Ann Toles,  a daughter of Ransler Toles, who survives him with their three children, Aston R., Alfred J and Anna, wife of Lincoln Donmaux, of Rochester, N Y. Judge Niles was a member of the Presbyterian Church, he was a Knight Templar to the Masonic order, and also a member of the I O O F. The funeral was held In the Presbyterian church on Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock and the congregation filled the house. The members of the Masonic Order and the Tyoga Lodge. No. 280 of Odd Fellows were largely represented In honor of their late brother and the members of the Bar Association who did not belong to the other societies, attended to a body. The floral tributes were very beautiful, the music was fine and the service Impressive. Members of the bar and prominent citizens from all parts of the county were seen in the audience.   Rev. A. C. Shaw, D. D.,  found consolation for mourning friends in the 81st chapter of Isaiah; he referred to the public career of Judge Niles covering nearly half a century during which time his life had, been closely woven into the history of this county; he eulogized the genial character and helpfulness of his friend to the church, as a citizen and as a neighbor and there was a tender reference to his domestic life and the personal sacrifice, the ministering care and the wealth of love and goodness which Mr. Niles had always shown to his home circle.  The interment was made in the family lot to the Wellsboro cemetery. The pall bearers were Messrs. F. E, Watrous Howard F. Marsh, S. F. Channell Walter Sherwood, Edward H. Owlett and Francis M Sheffer.
