TBIBUTE TO ANDREW BARTLE:

A FRIEND'S ESTIMATE OF HIS LIFE AND  CHARACTER

Wellsboro Agitator, Tioga, PA-- Wednesday, December 14, 1862

Stony Fork, December 12-- By the death of Andrew Bartle, Delmar loses one of her oldest and most honored citizens. In 1837 he came with his young wife from Oxford, Chenango County, NY and settled upon 100 acres of heavily-timbered land, living for a few years in a log house covered with hemlock bark. By hard and untiring labor, good management and strict economy, which was the rule in the house as well as outside, he was able to retire in his declining years from his farm and lived the rest of his life in peace and comfort in the village of Stony Fork.  It is not until our friends are taken from us that we properly estimate their lives and characters. Of Mr. Bartle I may say, having known him since boyhood that he was, noted for strict integrity and honorable dealing with his neighbors. The fact that he lived to see his farm converted from a dense forest to one of the finest in Delmar is an object-lesson to the youth of our land, telling them what can be accomplished by perseverance and well-directed effort.  I do not remember ever hearing Mr. Bartle speak a profane word.  He was sociable and kind in his family, of whom he was justly proud. They have lost a devoted and indulgent father. He never turned the worthy poor away from his door, but the Hypocrite could find no place in his affections. Temperate in all things, of conservative but very practical views, he was a safe friend and a trusty adviser. No one knows this better than the writer.  Bereft of a father at the age of seventeen, he became to us – my mother had five children—a true friend and wise counselor.  In him we saw a life and character that we may all well honor by trying to live up to the standard of excellence that he set before us.  J. H. Buckley

 

Mr. Andrew Bartle died last Thursday, at the age of 81 years, and he had resided in Delmar for more than half a century. The funeral was held last Saturday.
