WILLIAM AYERS (murder) On Wednesday, June 15th (1898), neighbors of Wm. Ayers, Wharton Township, noticed his domestic animals were being neglected. John Mahon and son, Warren, investigated. They found a ladder against back of house near window of room occupied by Ayers, in second story. Found the old man on the floor in his room, near the bed, head battered, bullet wound in temple and marks of throttling on throat. The house was ransacked from top to bottom to discover money he was supposed to have. Coroner Gustin notified and District Attorney Heck. On Thursday an autopsy was held. Bullet passed downward to mouth without touching a vital spot. Death caused by strangulation or blow on head. Mr. Ayers had a housekeeper, Mrs. Farley, but she had gone to a neighbor's house Tuesday on account of a quarrel between the two. Her son, David Miller, about 20, had been making his home there, but had some trouble with Ayers and was working at a lumber camp in Mahon Run, near the Ayers farm. Arrested on Friday and given a hearing before Justice Seibert on Monday. Ayers was about 65 years; always lived on the farm where he died, on main road from Wharton to First Fork. The house, a comfortable modern farm house, situated near the road and but a few rods from dwellings of Warren Mahon and his father John Mahon, whose farm joins the old Ayers homestead where William was born. Deceased was honest, frugal and peaceable, in poor health from disabilities contracted in army, but with undue appetite for liquor, in which he had been indulging just before he was murdered. Been at Coudersport a few days before and received from his attorneys 200 on a debt due him. Not known how much he carried beside this. On return had visited Blowville, a lumber town on Bailey Run and exhibited some money while drinking there. In good circumstances, leaving property to amount of $2,000 at least. A will, made December 31, 1897, leaves all his property to his brother, S. Freeman Ayers, but the will is liable to be contested.
N. B. BEEBE died at his home in Odin, PA, after a terrible illness of only six hours, on November 12, 1894, Mr. N. B. Beebe in his 68th year.
Coming in childhood with his pioneer parents from New York State, he had few of the advantages of culture, Potter County now offers her young. But his was the conscientious energetic mind that must and will have knowledge, and he acquired much from books, ever remaining a devoted student. He spent many years as instructor in various public schools, teaching in Lewisville, this county, forty-six years ago. He was at one time a teacher for two years in the Academy at Woodhull, NY.
For several years a resident of Deposit, he was their twice elected Justice of the Peace. Mr. Beebe was always an ardent supporter of morality, a man whose heart was most tender and faithful to the many friendships he formed among lovers of books and humanity, wherever he went.
As a politician, he was sent as one of the delegates to the first National Convention of the Republican party, and remained in its ranks to the end, proudly casting his last ballot for the prohibitory law of Potter County, on the ticket for Mr. Leonard and Mr. Eaton.
Yet, so great was his enmity to the saloon and the still - including in his charge of blood guiltiness even older - he often lamented the apathy of his party on the temperance question, fearing it would bring disaster to the country.
Twice wedded, he leaves by his first marriage a son, Mr. H.H. Beebe, of Odin, PA, in whose family he found a dearly loved home, and by his second, a daughter, Mrs. Axtell of Lincoln, Neb.
Mr. Beebe had but recently returned from along visit with devoted relatives and friends in Sylvester, Tioga County, PA. He had not seemed quite well for a few days, but breakfasted with the family as usual that morning. Soon after he was seized with a severe pain near the heart, which at 1:30, ceased to beat.
Funeral services were conducted by the family pastor, Rev. C.T. Edwards, of Coudersport, assisted by Rev. Jordan of the U.B. Church of Odin, and the remains laid to rest in the beautiful cemetery in the forest, on the 14th inst., to await a glorious resurrection. A Friend.
SAMUEL BEEBE - One of best known citizens of Oswayo, died at his home in that place, Monday, August 31, 1896 after illness of ten days. Born at Columbus, NY, May 22, 1827. His family moved to Allegany County in 1835 and lived at Alfred several years. Previous to 1867, Mr. Beebe conducted a woolen mill at Independence. In that year he moved to Oswayo and entered the mercantile business. Soon turned his attention to the business of pension agent and justice of the peace and was known personally to nearly every old soldier in the county. His success in securing pensions was remarkable. He told the writer less than a year ago that there were sixty veterans residing in the town of Oswayo and that every one of them drew a pension that he had secured.
Mr. Beebe was married in September 1847 to Dorothy Colvin, Of Independence and six children born to them. Mr. Beebe served one year as Associate Judge of Potter County, three years as county auditor. Beloved by all who knew him and his death will cause sincere sorrow at Oswayo. Was a genial, Kindly man whose example was worthy of emulation. (Ceres Mail)

My Dead: Over the mantle a group I see, the faces of dear ones gone before,
A father and mother now waiting for me on the other side of the unknown sea
which we all must cross, to return no more.
A brother who fell `mid the deadly strife of a battlefield
as he led his men where the air was with hurtling missles rife,
And hand to hand was the struggle for life
As our broken lines were stored again.

ASSOCIATE JUDGE CONSIDER STEARNS - Residents of upper East Street were startled on Monday forenoon, March 11, 1895 by screams from the home of Judge Stearns. Mr. Stearns who is an old man, while alone, had cut a large gash in his throat with his razor, but failed to sever the juggler vain. He was still trying to complete the awful work. Fred Andrews was the first to reach the house and a few minutes later Sam Thompson arrived. They attempted to get the razor, but were threatened by the desperate man, who finally retreated into the bedroom and locked the door. Other men came and the window was broken and through that they prevented the fatal stroke being given. After a long parley the razor was secured and Mr. Stearns apparently gave up the attempt and allowed his wounds to be dressed. Later in the day he swallowed some Paris green which he had evidently secreted in the cellar. This was done during a momentary absence of those attending him and as soon as discovered, a physician was called, who applied the usual remedies. He was still alive, but unconscious. His family relations were harmonious. He had taken his wife on his knee, prior to the attempt and bade her good bye three times. He then pulled the razor from his pocket and declared his purpose to end his life. She gave the alarm, but before assistance could reach the house, he had made the attempt.
Later - as we go to press we learn that he is dead.

When a small child he with his parents and his sister, Ella, moved to Coudersport. Here he was educated in public and private schools and in 1865, at the age of 16 began his apprenticeship to the printing trade. In 1867 he purchased the Potter County Journal and was associated with Mrs. Vesta Dyke. Four years later he sold out to his partner, Mrs. Dyke, and went to Kansas. Three years later he was called home by the sickness and death of his younger sister, and in spite of a great desire to return to the west, he remained with his bereaved parents.
Again he went into the newspaper business. A stock company was organized of which he was the principal stockholder, and became the editor and publisher of the Potter Enterprise. He was a heavy loser in the fore of 1880, his office and all of his equipment being destroyed. Two hours after the fire was under control, he was at work in the Journal office, and in the morning an extra edition was ready for distribution. In 1886 he sold out his business and opened a jewelry store. Later he retired from that and took up optical work and in that he continued until his death.
In 1882 he married Eva D., the daughter of Mrs. Vesta C. Dyke, his former partner, and to them one child, Vesta Ellen was born. His wife, the daughter, Mrs. D. G. VanDeBoe, of Camp Hill, PA and three grandchildren, Gretchen, Evelyn Dyke, and Wilhelmina, survive him.

He was a charter member of the Fire Department, and of the Potter County Historical Society. He was a loyal Democrat, and except in local matters always voted a straight ticket.
In the last ten years Mr. Thompson has done considerable writing and has collected valuable historical data. His efforts to collect material in connection with the Norwegian settlement of Ole Bull have been tireless. Also he has collected valuable data and personal experience of old settlers in connection with the Passenger Pigeon. From his own experience he wrote many stories of local history and always in connection with this work, he aimed to be absolutely correct. He was an extensive reader and had a wonderful memory and so had a wealth of material to draw on.
ZENAS J. THOMPSON died at the home of his son, W. W. Thompson Thursday morning, January 8, 1902. Had been a resident of Coudersport since 1857 and was 82 years old. Is survived by one son, two brothers, M. S. Thompson of this Boro, Monroe Thompson of Madison County, NY, and one sister, Miss Elmira Thompson of Chenango County, NY. His daughter, Ella, died some years ago in early womanhood, leaving her parents grief stricken, her mother mourning her life away till three years ago when she joined the daughter.
Mr. Thompson was born in Plymouth, Chenango County, January 3, 1820. In 1848 he married Miss Julia A. Stuart (Shuart?) of New York State, who died three years ago.

E. H. TUCKER died in Andrews Settlement, Tuesday, Sept. 20, 1887, age 26. Upon the ever memorable 12th day of April, 1861, a baby boy first opened his eyes here in Andrews Settlement. The youngest child of Henry and Emeline Tucker and never knew anything of a father's care and guidance, but well and faithfully did his mother train him in habits of truth and industry.
His sturdiness won for him the name of "Crockett," and the industry of the boy has marked the man all through his brief life, for he early showed marked aptitude for trade, having rare, good judgment for value of mercantile commodities. For years has been known as a successful dealer in whatever he chose to touch.
When he concluded to leave the road and settle down, he attended Elmira Business College and graduated with highest respect of teachers for his business ability. He then built a small store here and through close attention to business and skillful advertising, soon built up a trade, which necessitated a larger building. Through all business enterprises success seemed to attend him.
His illness was brief and neither he nor his attendants realized how serious until near its termination. The case of his invalid sister prejudiced him against taking medicine and to the last he wished to get along without a physician and rejected all medicine offered him.
Last rites conducted by Rev. W. Miller and hosts of friends offered finest display of flowers ever seen in this vicinity, and with his death goes out one of the brightest, shrewdest and withall kindest mercantile lights of this county.
MRS. O. R. WEBB - After nearly two years of continuous pain and suffering, the noble spirit of Mrs. Webb was set free on Monday evening, February 11. All that medical skill or loving hands could do seemed unavalling to stay the malady that was destroying the vitals, or to assuage the pain that finally wore out a strong consititution.
She died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. L. F. Andrews, on Cartee Street, this boro, where she has been cared for during her last sickness as only a filial daughter can care for an aged mother. The funeral services are being held today (Wednesday) at 2 o'clock in the M. E. Church, conducted by Rev. Rogers.
Polly Ann Lyman was a daughter of John Lyman, one of the pioneers of this county, a family well and favorably known through many highly esteemed members. She was married to Alva Taggart in 1848 at the age of twenty and two children blessed that union, Dora, now Mrs. Andrews, and Alvin, now a respected citizen of Cross Fork this county. Mr. Taggart died in 1861 and his widow married Orin R. Webb a few years afterwards. For many years they lived on the homestead just below Coudersport, where Polly Ann, as all her friends called her, was regarded as the `Good Samaritan' of the neighborhood. Where sickness and death, or poverty and want were found, Polly Ann was found tenderly caring for all who needed help and many besides her own children will rise up and call her blessed. Her death will be mourned by a large circle of acquaintances who knew her kindness of heart and loved her for her many virtues. Yet the three score years and ten alloted to mortals had been given to her, and more, and she has entered into that rest which pain and sorrow of this mortal life makes welcome for the faithful soul. (1903)

Mr. Wildman was widely known throughout Western New York and Northern Pennsylvania, both as a clergyman and an educator and ranked bery high in his denomination as a scholar and a thinker.
Entered the ministry early after graduation, the church at once called him into higher responsible educational work and he continued with conspicuous success and eminent usefulness the greater part of his life. To his old friends he was always Professor Wildman.
He prepared for college at Alfred and Lima, graduated from Union College, with highest honors of his class. After teaching for a season in Natchez and Memphis, he returned to this state and began his career as an educator, rising with great rapidity, by a series of promotions to the highest grade of trust. Among the academies and seminaries may be mentioned the schools at Rogersville, Perry, Olean, Williamsport, and Mansfield Normal, which he rebuilt and reorganized. Also, at Batavia Collegiate Institute, of which he was president until he entered the itinerary, to which he brough talents of rare excellence, a scholarship broad and sympathetic by years of educational experience and spiritual earnestness that laid every earthly ambition upon the altar of sacrifice and duty.
Leaves a widow and five children and thousands of others who, not sharing their sorrow, yet as pupils and parishioners in days gone by, will kindly remember their former teacher and pastor and revere his memory.

Graduated from Genesee Wesleyan Seminary in 1855 with the wife of the late Rev. M.H. Rice. Elected preceptress of the Rogersville Union Seminary, then a Conference Seminary, and was married Dec. 5, 1858. Her husband being called to the principalship of PA State Normal School in 1860, she was elected preceptress and held the position about three years. Afterward was preceptress of Batavia Collegiate Institute, which burned in 1865.
Another obit: Helen P.E. Wildman, wife of Rev. E. Wildman, of the Genesee Conference and daughter of Col. P.

Her husband was called to the principalship of PA State Normal School in 1860 where she was elected preceptress and held the position for about three years. She was afterward preceptress of Batavia Collegiate Institute which was burned in 1865.
Still another: Mrs. Helen P. R. Wildman, wife of Rev. Edwin Wildman, A. M., of Genesee Conference, and daughter of Colonel James P. Rounsville, died at Coudersport, PA, July 31, 1869, of congestion of the brain and lungs, after an illness of only ten hours, age thirty-five and two months.
She experienced religion at the age of fourteen years and united with the Methodist Church.
From the age of fifteen to twenty-one she spent in the best seminaries of learning to prepare herself for her life work. She graduated from the Genesee Wesleyan Seminary in 1855 with the wife of the late Rev. M. H. Rice and many other noble spirits who have blessed the world with their Christian labors.
Mrs. Wildman was a leader of the female prayer meetings connected with the Seminary during her course of study. From the day of her conversion to the day of her death, experimental religion was her daily topic of conversation.
In August, 1858, she was elected preceptress of the Rogersville Union Seminary - then a Conference Seminary - and was married December 5, 1858. Her husband being called to the principalship of Pennsylvania State Normal School in 1860, she was elected Preceptress, which position she held about three years. Mrs. Wildman was afterward Preceptress of Batavia Collegiate Institute, consumed by fire in 1865; since which time, till her decease, she devoted herself to the faithful discharge of the duties of wife and mother in her own family.
During a residence in Corning, NY, in connection with the discharge of her domestic duties, she found much time to devote to the Church, the Sunday School class, and prayer meetings. And many rise up to day in Corning to call her blessed. Whole families there are praising God because of her prayers and labors. A friend in Corning thus writes of Sister Wildman: "She spake for the Master to the perishing. She sought the needy. Whole families were led to Jesus through her persevering endeavors. These call her blessed. Here was a successful life. Now, that she rested from her labors her works follow her.
She was a lady of fine accomplishments, peculiarly gifted in social qualities, readily winning confidence and retaining it by her kindness and worth; an able instructor and devoted to the spread of the truth."
Mrs. Wildman was emphatically a co-partner with her husband in all his labors, rendering him most efficient aid in all the material and spiritual interest of the Church. Her powers of song, her persuasive eloquence, her experience and exhortation, and her almost unrivaled prayer of faith will never be forgotten by those who heard her. She sung the songs of men to move men to love the Saviour. She spoke to convince by her own position and exultany experience. She prayed with a faith that expected to be answered. Her Gospel labors were answered by God.
While holding quarterly meetings in the vicinity, the house of Colonel Rounseville was one of my desirable homes. Here the writer became acquainted with Helen, then a young convert and but recently, a member of the Church. Her piety, intelligence, and sprightliness won upon my esteem, and I regarded her with the affection of a parent for a daughter, and to me, the news of her sudden decease was extremely painful. A beacon had been extinguished, a brilliant career had been terminated; and she lives on earth, as well as in paradise by the influence of her example and pious labors. She left three children, one of which has followed her to her heavenly home. (C. D. Burlingham)

Catharine Houseknecht Snyder
Birth: 1790
Death: 1867
Pennsylvania, USA
She married Jacob Snyder and they had 4 children. Her maiden name was incorrectly spelled "Housenig" on her grave marker, which was no longer evident upon a visit to this cemetery in August 2012. The photo to the right shows her husband, Jacob's marker in the background and another Snyder monument in the foreground. She was probably buried between the two markers.

Congratulations to you both! 39 years, that is impressive! Mary Freeman, we met at Barbara Fickinger's while you were caring for this precious lady, may she rest in peace. Thank you again so much for your service to her. You & I are 5th cousins (Richard & Eliz ROBERTS SHAY were my 4th grgrandparents- not sure if I knew our relationship when we met 2 years ago at Barb's.) I go a generation further back with Mark, to Peter & Rebecca vanWINKLE ROBERTS, who were my 5th grgrandparents. So I, too, am related to you both! Hi!
