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. |

KEENEY
MAZIE IOLA
Wellsboro Gazette – September 15, 1927
Wellsboro was shocked and saddened on Tuesday by the death of Mrs. Fred C.
Coolidge, which was accomplished in a temporary fit of insanity by her own hand.
Her lifeless body was found by her husband hanging in a back stairway shortly
before noon on Tuesday. Mrs. Coolidge had been in poor health for the
past year and during that time had suffered intense mental trouble at times.
For the past two months she had seemed to improve physically. She
accompanied her husband, who is a Fuller Brush salesman, about the country which
seemed to be beneficial to her health. In fact during the past two weeks
she had visited friends and seemed like her normal self. When Mr. Coolidge
started for his work Tuesday morning about 9 o’clock he requested her to go with
him as usual but she refused saying she felt so much better she would remain at
home and have the noon meal ready for him and their son, Paul, a Sophomore, in
High School. On his return about 11:20 instead of an appetizing meal
awaiting the husband found his wife hanging from a banister in the back stairway
leading out of the kitchen. He called Dr. J. G. Webster, who came at once
but found life extinct. Coroner W. F. White pronounced death due to
strangling. The curtain cord, which had been fastened to the balustrade,
was drawn in a noose about her neck. It is thought Mrs. Coolidge had
committed the rash act in a minute of temporary insanity, probably immediately
after she was left alone in the house. Her sister and brother, Floyd
Keeney, and Miss Blanche Keeney, who spent a part of their time in her home, had
left that morning on a business trip to Ansonia, so when the obsession seized
upon her there was no one to interfere and save her from herself. As a
classmate and friend we knew the sterling qualities of this wife and mother, who
was keenly interested in every movement for the betterment of the community.
She was a faithful member of the Parent Teacher Association, the W. C. T. U.,
and the Methodist church where she and her family were active workers. Mazie
Keeney Coolidge was born in Holiday, a daughter of Sidney H. and Fannie Downing
Keeney, July 28, 1883. She was educated in the Wellsboro schools where she
graduated in 1901 and was Valedictorian of her class. Later she took a
Commercial course at the Mansfield Normal. She was united in marriage
with Fred C. Coolidge Aug. 12, 1907. They conducted the store on
Charleston street for 18 years, selling out two years ago owing to poor health
of both Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge. Since that time they have resided on East
Avenue. Mrs. Coolidge leaves besides her husband and son, her father, S.
H. Keeney; a brother, Floyd P. Keeney, and a sister, Miss Blanche Keeney, all of
Wellsboro, and Allen, of Troy, Pa. Funeral services will be held today at
the family home…officiating; interment in Wellsboro cemetery.
KEENEY Sidney H
Wellsboro Gazette, Thursday, March 12, 1942
The following biographical material on Sidney H. Keeney, who died Feb. 25 has
been received: Sidney Hastings Keeney was born Dec 9, 1856 at Holiday, the
youngest of 10 children born to Ransom Irving Keeney and Rhoana Huntsinger. His
great-grandmother, Anna Payne, was a sister of Dollie Payne, wife of James
Madison, fourth president of the US. On the paternal side he was one of many
descendants in this section of Thomas Keeney who came to the US from Scotland
prior to the Revolution. When he was 5 year old, his father and 2 older brothers
were among the first volunteers in the Civil War. In 1877 he married Fanny
Aileen Downing, daughter of Lucy Anderson and Abram VanSesy Downing. A daugter,
Blanche and son, Floyd, both of whom lived with the father survive. Another
daugter, Mazie, Mrs Fred C. Coolidge, died in 1927. .... After serving an
apprenticeship with a harness maker, Sidney Keeney went into business for
himself and for upwards of 50 years had a reputation throughout the county as a
manufacturer of handstitched harness. Later he bought and sold stoves and
furniture and became very skillful at repairing antiques and particularly broken
violins. He was also a cornet player, band instructor and composer. ...Five
years ago, because of his advanced age he was obliged to give up work. He died
suddenly at the Blossburg State Hospital where he had been under treatment for
only a few days, and the funeral was held here Saturday, Feb. 28.
KEENEY SIDNEY HASTINGS
Wellsboro Agitator – March 11, 1942
THE LATE S. H, KEENEY.
Owing to the fact that on Feb. 25, the day following the unexpected death of my
father at the Blossburg hospital I was occupied with interviewing Mr. Smith ai
the Old Age Pension Office, making arrangements for the funeral services at the
Bastian Funeral Home and going: with Mr. Kuhl of Lawrenceville to the hospital
to get my father’s body, I was unable to get a suitable notice of my father’s
death ready for the local newspapers. Sidney Hastings Keeney was born Dec.
9, 1856, at Holiday, Pa., the youngest of ten children, born to Ransom Irving
Keeney and Rhoana Huntsinger, daughter of Peter and Abigail Huntsinger.
Anna Payne, Peter Huntsinger’s mother and my father’s great grandmother, was a
sister of Dollie Payne, who married James Madison, fourth President of the
United States. Sidney Keeney's great grandfather on the paternal side was
Thomas Keeney, born in Scotland May 21, 1751, who came to America prior to the
Revolutionary War and served in the war three years, enlisting from East
Hartford, Conn. Other descendants of Thomas Keeney the emigrant who lived
in this section were Hon. John Mitchell and sister, Mrs. David Cameron, whose
grandmother, Ruby Keeney, was the oldest child of Thomas Keeney, the emigrant.
Another descendant still living in Wellsboro is Darius D. Holiday our 101 year
old resident, whose mother, Alvira Keeney died in 1844 and was the granddaughter
of Thomas Keeney, the emigrant. When Lincoln called for volunteers in
1861, Sidney Keeney's father, Ransom, and his two oldest sons, Adelbert and
Saleman, were among the first to enlist. Adelbert, born in 1841, enlisted
in the 11th U. S. Cavalry and was discharged in 1865, but he received injuries
which resulted in his death and he is buried at Arlington Heights, Washington.
Saleman, born May 24, 1845, was a boy when the war started, but he also served
in the 11th U. S. Cavalry and died from the effects of his service in 1866 at
the age of 21 years. My father was less than five years old when the war
broke out and I have heard him say that while his father and brothers were away
to the war his mother would lift him up on the horse’s back with a bag of corn
in front of him and he would go from their farm about a half-mile up the North
Road from Holiday over to the grist mill on Hills Creek to have the corn ground.
In 1877 my father married Fannie Aileen Downing, oldest daughter of Lucy
Anderson and Abram Van Scoy Downing. To them were born three children,
Floyd and Blanche, who lived with their father at 42 Wetmore Street and Mazie,
who died Sept. 13, 1927. On Aug. 12, 1908, Mazie was married to Fred. C.
Coolidge, and their son, Paul Sidney Coolidge and Paul’s daughter, Carol Dawn
Coolidge, of Alexandra, Va., are the only grandson and great-granddaughter.
Other survivors are Ransom Keeney, of Blossburg, Mrs. John Obourn, of Corning,
Mrs. William Davis, of Huntingdon, Pa. and Dr.Harold Keeney, of Clearfield, Pa.,
all children of my father's brother, Cassimer Keeney. My father served an
apprenticeship with a harness maker by the name of Spencer, who had a shop .
about a mile out of town on the Stonyfork road. Then he opened his first
shop in Holiday, but moved to Wellsboro when we were children and worked for
Dennis Navel's father for about two years. Then he went into business for
himself and for upwards of 50 years he had a reputation throughout the county as
a manufacturer of hand-stitched harness. When the autos commenced to
take the place of the horses and his business commenced to go he engaged in the
buying and selling of new and used stoves and furniture. He was especially
interested in refinishing pieces of antique furniture and repairing violins
which he could do so perfectly that you could not see where they had been
broken. He was interested all his life in music, was a cornet player
and band instructor, and composed several marches. My father was not an
attendant of any church nor a member of any lodge and never held a public
position, but for 64 years he was a father and during all that time I never knew
him to take a vacation from his business, but worked steadily on to provide us
with a shelter which we called home. Not until 1937, just five years
previous to his death because of his advanced years he was finally obliged to
give up his work. I took my father to the Blossburg hospital on Feb.
19 and died there at 11 p. m., Feb. 24, of arterio sclerosis and uremic
poisoning. I was planning to have him home for the summer as usual and because I
had received no word from the hospital as to his condition since entering, I
thought that he must be getting along all right, so it was a distinct shock to
both my brother and myself to receive a message in the middle of the night from
the hospital informing us that our father had died there alone.
