| 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. |

CURRY - Dorothy Mary Curry Dewey - I watched as Dottie Dewey slipped into eternity on Jan. 23, 2008. She was 76. We had been “joined at the hip” for over 55 years. Throughout those years, Dottie had overcome a multitude of challenges, ranging from being a sibling of two brothers in a nomadic family, to becoming the wife and mother of two children of a career Air Force sergeant, to suffering through the agony of three cancers and an autologous stem cell transplant and the attendant chemo and radiation therapy. We graduated from high school together in a class of 23 students and accepting unaccompanied Air Force assignments, we have been inseparable ever since. Dottie has always faced her challenges with grace, strength and dignity. She was adaptable in any environment and was comfortable in the company of people of all persuasions; whether they be of modest means or well-to-do. She was a talented artist and an advocate of decency and good will. She was a devoted member of the First United Church of Christ and its chancel choir since 1973. Her strong will, compassion and effervescence will long be remembered by those who knew her and loved her. She is survived by husband, Merle Roger Dewey; son, John of Florida; daughter, Teresa of Virginia; brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Marion and Eileen Dewey of Wellsboro and Gordon and Francis Dewey of Syracuse, NY. A musical memorial service to celebrate Dottie’s life was held on Sunday, Jan. 27, at 3 p.m. at First United Church of Christ, 1017 Todds Lane, Hampton by Rev. Larry Diehl and Judge Randolph T. West to deliver the eulogy. Memorial gifts, in lieu of flowers, may be made to First United Church of Christ. Arrangements by Weymouth Funeral Home.

DEAN Earl W.
Wellsboro -- Earl W. Dean was kind of like the comeback kid --- that
is he always had a snappy comeback or funny quip to pass on, family members
and friends said. Mr. Dean, 69, of RD3, Wellsboro, died Friday, Aug 12,
1994, at Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hospital in Wellsboro. Family members
said Mr. Dean died of complications from a previous heart condition. Evidence
of Dean's years of wit came with a card from a couple who own the local
pharmacy: "There are so many memories we have of Earl and almost all of
them involve laughter and him telling a joke. He's a great guy and we'll
miss him," they wrote. "He was always telling a joke and saying something
funny," said his granddaughter, Kelly Kreitner of Wellsboro. "Whatever
he said, no matter what he said, it always came out funny." Mr. Dean was
born April 2, 1925, in Tioga, PA, to Harry and Elsie Bates Bean. He quit
school in the ninth grade to begin working, and family members said he
rarely stopped up until his death. Mr. Dean met his wife Phyllis when they
were just teen-agers and he would pull up in an old Model T Ford to buy
gas at his future father-in-law's store. "He would always get 10 cents
worth of gas," Mrs. Dean said. "I hated to see him come because I would
have to go out and pump it." However, Mr. Dean ended up convincing her
to marry him and the couple --he was 18, she was 17 ---settled in Charleston,
just outside Wellsboro. He and his wife, the former Phyllis White, observed
their 51st wedding anniversary June 26. Mr. Dean first worked for Corning
Glass Works, Corning, NY, and in 1968 he and his wife opened the former
Sub Shop on Crafton Street in Wellsboro. They ran the shop for 15 years
before selling it to their daughter. He owned the former Tioga Roofing
and Siding Co. here. He was a lifelong resident of Tioga County. He was
an avid Braves fan. Besides playing all types of card games and watching
baseball, Phyllis said her husband also enjoyed traveling. The couple made
several automobile trips to California. "He wasn't one to sit still," she
said. Preceding him in death were infant son Thomas and infant daughter,
Sandra; twin brother, Merle L. Dean; brothers, Elijah Dean and John Dean;
and one sister, Judy Buchanan. Besides his wife, other survivors include
daughters Joanna Goodwin and Cathy Horning, both of Wellsboro; son, Bob
Dean of Wellsboro; sister, Minnie Norton of Shunk, PA; nine grandchildren
