BERNAUER Joseph B
Wellsboro Agitator, Tioga, PA - Wed., April 7, 1909, Pg 1  abstract
The sudden death of Joseph B. Bernauer, which occurred at his residence in Gaines, March 30th was a great shock to his family and the community in which he had always lived.  Interment at the Phenix Cemetery.  Mr. Bernauer is survived by his wife, Elizabeth, and by his 3 children - Mrs. E. E. Dutcher of Gaines, PA and Rev. Francis S. Bernauer of Chicago, ILL; also by six grandchildren and by his brother, Joshua of Marshlands, six years his senior and the sole survivor of a family of 10 children.  The Bernauer family are numbered among the pioneers of Tioga County.  About the time of Napoleon's greatest power, when the principalities of Germany and other Europeon states of Europe were forced to furnish troops to further the mad ambitions of the Emperor, Colonel Bernauer of Baden was drafted for the Russian campaign.  All his patriotic instincts rebelled against serving the interests of him who  caused his country to bleed and lie prostrate at the conqueror's feet.  He fled to Switzerland for asylum.  After a time he excaped to America by using the passport of his dead brother.  Arriving at Philadelphia, he was bound out for three years to pay his passage of 1869.  About 1875 he immigrated northward with a small company of 3 families.  They came to Pine Creek and made clearings on Elk Run, which was then a wilderness.  Those were pioneer days, when the wits and strength of the hardy woodsmen were pitted against the problems of a livelihood and the dangers of the forest which echoed to the screams of the panther.  Wellsboro was a little clump of houses.  Other towns were not even located.   Under such conditions Joseph B. Bernauer was born Jan. 8, 1833.  He has a large part in redeeming the wilderness.  He cleared his own farm, lumbered in pine and hemlock, drove logs and rafted on Pine Creek and the Susquehanna.  It was on his farm about 10 years ago that the spouting gas well was drilled which led to the immediate discovery of oil on his farm and the adjoining narrow oil pocket, which created so much excitement for a time among oil prospectors.   On June 18, 1856, Mr. Bernauer married Mary E. Champney of Canton, being married at Shippen, PA. by Benjamin Ogden in the presence of Walter Marsh and Marion Watrous.  Four children blessed this union - Ada, Nellie (deceased in childhood), Edna and Frank.  On Sept. 17, 1898, Mrs. Bernauer died after a lingering illness.  On Nov. 22, 1902, he married Mrs. Elizabeth Schoonover of Gaines, who has been a true helpmeet, his son, Frank, officiating as clergyman.   His widow and children mourn the loss of a faithful and indulgent father and husband.  He worked hard, sought another's interest, not his own; now cometh rest.

LOSEY Samuel Munn

Potter County Historical Society - Marriages, Births, Miscellaneous:

“A writer in the Renova Record writes: Recently visited Potter County, spent a day with my old friend Samuel Losey, which was his 105th birthday. He has been blind for 12 years. Health good. Memory remarkable. Lives with his youngest son, James, at Pike Mills, Potter Co. He said, "I was born in Morristown, NJ. Came to Danville, PA at age of 22. Lived there two years, then went to Newtown, now Elmira, remained 8 yrs. Then bought a farm at Tioga on the Cowanesque and in 1809 married Betsey Ives, sister of Judge Timothy Ives and moved to my farm. My wife bore two children, a son and a daughter and died at Tioga 4 years after our marriage. Sold farm and moved to Wellsboro, assisted in building the first court house in Tioga Co. Was drawn on the first jury in that county. In 1814 I married Olive Phoenix who is now the mother of 11 children and will be 78 this March. Moved from Wellsboro to Potter Co., bought 2000 acres lying on both sides of Pine Creek, from the county line 5 miles up the creek. Remembers having seen George Washington several times.”

 

From a Bible Inventory in the Marshall County, Indiana Museum, we find Samuel Mun Losey born 5 Jan 1773 and died 13 Oct 1879, less than two years from the time of the above interview.   He states he married Betsey Ives in 1809, had a son and a daughter by her, and she died within 4 years after the marriage. He stated Betsey Ives is a sister to Judge Timothy Ives. Betsey died approximately 1813.  Samuel married Olivia Phoenix in 1814, by his own statement, and they had twelve children together. She was still living at the time of this interview but died 29 March 1878.    N2Ancestors at Losey-L Archives

Capt. John PHENIX

Tioga Eagle, Wed Sep 11 1839 Wellsboro, PA

Died--at his residence, in Gaines township, Tioga county, Penn. on the 24th of August, 1839, Capt. John Phenix, in the 67th year of his life. Mr. Phenix was one of the first settlers on Pine Creek; built the first saw-mill, and made the first board that was manufactured over the now great lumbering stream---He was a good citizen, led a quiet and peaceful life with his neighbors; was a kind and affectionate father, gained a comfortable living for himself and family by the sweat of his brow, and his roof was ever a shelter, and his table spread for the weary traveler. His spirit left the body within a few feet from the very spot where he built the first cabin--He left a good evidence to his dear children and to her friends, that God for Christ sake had pardoned his sins a short time before he left the world. His memory will long be returned in the minds of all that were acquainted with him--His funeral was attended on the 26th ult. where a large number of the citizens of that place assembled to pay their last respects to their good old friend--Sermon preached by Eld. O. Ketchum from Deut. 32d 29th.--"O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their utter end."
