  20201117HAv- https://www.eg.bucknell.edu/~hyde/potter/Obituaries.html JANE WARD WILMOT died at Titusville, PA, at the home of her daughter, Monday, October 15, 1894. Mrs. Jane Wilmot Leete, age 72 years. Her body was taken to Coudersport, Potter County, PA, and laid beside the husband of her yourth, Mr. Wales Cheney Butterworth, and her little daughter, Jennie, in Eulalia Cemetery, October 18th. She leaves a husband, Hon. Ralph Leete, of Ironton, OH, four daughters, Mrs. Ida Thomas, of Titusville, PA, Mrs. Imogene Canfield, of Florence, CO, Mrs. Louise Randall, of Frazee, MI, and Mrs. Josephine Powell, of Redwood Falls, MN. Mrs. Leete was born at Bethany, Wayne County, AP, Sept. 19, 1822. She was a sister of Hon. David Wilmot, (half sister), of Towanda, author of the famous Wilmot Proviso. She was known and loved as a woman of rare gifts and abilities, of genial social qualities, and as faithful and true to her friends and to her God, trusting in His mercies and relying upon His strength to the last. Although having been for years a great sufferer, and almost utterly helpfless for some months before her death, she longed for release and rest, as she often expressed in her letters, which were recevied with great regularity by a dear friend until within one month of her death. Being gifted and original as a letter writer, they were always gladly received, and the good words of helpfulness and cheer will be sadly missed by one, and we doubt not, by many others, who were counted as her friends, and shared in her messages of love. They were filled with words of unshaken faith in the one "who doeth all things well," although at times she felt her suffering was almost greater than she could bear. In her last letter, (Sept. 17) she said, "My dear friend, pardon my crooked work; I am very poorly from a sleepless night of mental worries, but felt I must write you. Tomorrow I shall be seventy-two, but I know God has not forgotten me, and soon I shall hear His voice, and the Saviour has promised to go through the dark Valley with me." Her residence in Sparta dated about 1863 to 1879. (She married on February 10, 1862, L. H. Bancroft, of Sparta, WI, by Rev. J. H. Parsons, in Coudersport.) She was familiarly known as "Aunt Jane Bancroft." Mr. Bancroft died in May 1875. She continued to have a strong attachment for Sparta and its people, and in one of her late letters said, "Sparta is one of my Meccas," and she had a longing desire to visit the place once more. Many hearts will feel saddened at her death. C.M.F. Coudersport, November 22, 189: As we missed, very much to our regret to have for the Potter County Journal any notice of the death, far away, and the burial in this place of an old friend, and for many years a resident of Coudersport, Mrs. Jane W. Leete, I offer even at this late date, a few words of remembrance. No persons beyond her own family could be more interested and indebted to her than are the Journal and its editors. When the paper was in the hands of her son-in-law, Thomas L. Chase, she wrote a number of literary articles for it that were of high merit, and what she has written has always been valuable and very welcome. We, the old settlers of the village, the few that are left, remember her as a young girl. She came here, I think, in 1837 or '38 and soon attracted the interest of the reading and thinking part of the community; an interest that never lessened. She married very young and went to housekeeping in very primitive style, as she used to tell: "We arranged the house in the forenoon, had dinner, and I went with some other girls to the woods for cowslip greens in the afternoon." Later, when four little girls had come, she was one of those who formed a sewing society to help sustain a temperance paper, started by two brave young men, S. E. Alvord and Addison Avery. When that was discontinued, the society went on to start a little public library, which has grown ever since. Mrs. Leete was faithful in all she undertook, independent in thought and judgment, a progressive woman who is and will long be widely missed. JOHN V. YEOMANS died at residence of his brother-in-law, Geo. W. Boyer, in Coudersport, on Friday the 15th, of consumption, age 29 yrs., 9 mos. and 11 days.

Mr Kelly, Mr Sharpe at Yoman's Mill, narrow escape from circular saw, as well. Isaac Baker (1) fact 20201116HAv- 20201116HAv- Isaac Baker Killed Friday at Dr. O.T. Ellison's saw mill CLIPPED FROM The Potter Enterprise Coudersport, Pennsylvania 12 May 1880, Wed • Page 3 BY wetzupdoc · 16 Nov 2020 Isaac Baker Killed. Last Friday afternoon about five o'clock, at Dr. O, T. Ellison's saw mill, a short distance above town, Isaac Baker of Eulalia township, was almost instantly killed by the large circular saw used in sawing lumber. For a short time past Mr. Baker had been at work in the mill attending a small cut-off saw and occasionally assisting in jacking-in logs from the pond. Less than an hour before his death he had a very narrow escape, while putting on a belt that had slipped from its wheel, and he would have doubtless been drawn between the belt and wheel in such a manner that it would have resulted in his death but for the interference of some of the mill hands who were belter acquainted with machinery. After this he returned to the cut-off saw, where he was at work but a few moments when Joe Brown drove into the mill yard for a load of plank, as the plank had to be sorted, the man tail-sawing, left lo assist Joe, and Mr. Baker look his place. The first slab that dropped from the saw as Mr. Baker took his place, was a very heavy one, aud instead of carrying it back and across the carriage track, he attempted to lilt it over the saw, but in some manner the slab near the end caught the saw, and before he could let go, he was drawn upon the saw and thrown some eight or nine feet back, a mangled, quivering, old man, with just life enough to gasp, "Oh, my God, take me off from here." A few gasps and his spirit returned to its Maker. When thrown from the saw Mr. Baker struck upon the log carriage, which had been gigged back as soon as the slab fell from the log, his head striking against some of the iron work. cutting a large gash in the top of his head and right temple. He was quickly removed from the carriage to the mill floor, but never soke again, and was dead almost as soon as the hands could reach him. Our reporter found the body lying on the mill floor, upon a blanket, with a pillow placed under his head, and the body partially covered, but still presenting a most horrible sight. He was lying on the left side, the left boot heel was torn off, the calf of the right leg was ragged where the saw teeth had cut almost to the bone, the clothes woere more than half torn from the body. The saw had struck at the upper part of the hips, cutting through, at the small of the back, rather more on the right side than on the left side, and passing up a little more than halfway to the shoulders, leaving the internal organs exposed lo view, somewhat lascerated by the saw. At the top of the head the scalp was torn loose, perhaps four or five inches square ; the right temple was covered with hood and had the appearance of being crushed in, and was caused when thrown from the saw. The skull was doubtless fractured at the temple and the top of the head. Spots of blood and shreds of flesh were scattared about the carriage and later a small piece of the back bone was found at the rear of the mill, where it had been thrown by the saw. The body was placed in a neat coffin and removed to his former residence, and on Saturday was interred in the Crandnll Hill burying ground. The deceased was about sixty years of age, he leaves a wife who has been sick for some time and at the time of the accident was still unable to leave her bed, and several children, one or two grown up and the youngest we are informed about fourteen years of age. It would seem that the deceased had a presentament of his untimely end. Thursday he came very near drowning while working at the logs on the pond, and Friday as he was leaving the house he said to his wife, "I came very near being drowned yesterday. I suppose to-day will finish me." The deceased served some time in the army during the late war, doing his duly as a soldier and has been a hard working, honest man. The family is left in destitute circumstances.
