I find this story interesting,
This was when Gwen and Tolise Pickett were very young, too young to drive. Gwen was born in 1948 and Tolise in 1947. Grandma Ena Wootton Pickett died in 1961 so you know how young those girls were.
Gwen Pickett tells me that she and Tolise would take Grandma Una to church, Gwen would prop herself up with pillows so she could see over the steering wheel to steer, and Tolise would work the pedals on that old 1940 Buick. Gwen said, "We never had an accident, everyone just gave us room"!

The funeral of Marcus Pickett was held at his home in Stevens Township February 21, 1942. Rev. Deloss Smith of Camptown was the officiating clergyman. Rev. Smith commented briefly upon the great service the deceased had rendered to his church and community during his long and useful life. Mr. Pickett was born in Auburn Township, Susquehanna County, July 6,1952, and removed to Bradford County with his parents, the late Avery and Eliza (Easterbrooks) Pickett, at an early age. On December 31, 1877, he joined Susie Bond of La Grange, PA., in marriage. This was a happy union that lasted over fifty-three years and was terminated by the death of Mrs. Pickett February 6, 1930. This union was blessed with two children, a daughter Jennie who died in childhood, and a son Harry J. who lives on the homestead. Besides his son, three grandchildren survive the deceased: Mrs. Evelyn Stalford of Endicott, N.Y., Private Harry Clyde Pickett, Troop C, 14th Calvary, and Eldred at home. One great grandchild, Ronald Stalford of Endicott. Early in life Mr. Pickett united with the Methodist Church at Beaver Meadows and has been a faithful member since that time. He has held every lay office of that church and for a number of years was Superintendent of the Sunday school. At the time of his death he was an honorary trustee. He was also a member of the Shiloh Grange at West Auburn, PA., and held in high esteem by that order. Interment was made at Beaver Meadows Cemetery, with in the shadow of the church he served so long and well. The Grange had charge of the committal services. Music was furnished by Mr. And Mrs. Claude Carter who were fellow Grangers. Contributed by Carol Brotzman

* Historians note: James Sharer married Caroline Pickett daughter of Samuel and Nancy Avery Pickett according to the Bennett History and the Avery History. That would make her a sister to Marcus Pickett's father Ezekiel Pickett, and a brother to Anson and Avery Pickett that married Sarah Bennett daughter of Ferris and Nancy Black Bennett. Confused Yet, I am. Yet another source records the Aunt Caroline that raised Samuel was Caroline Smith, a sister to his deceased wife Mary. In any case, whichever Caroline married James Sharer. Samuel's mother, Mary Smith died in child birth at Clapper Hill August 1861. Her new son didn't survive either

Notes on Florence from her granddaughter
Yes, she was my "Grandma Florence"! She was a dynamo. She had so much musical talent, could play by ear and read music. She loved her four boys so much and was so proud of her grandchildren. I had never seen those early pictures of her. She taught me to embroider and took very good care of Grandad. I loved to go up the Grandad's house after supper and sit with them listening to the radio or in the summer sit out on the porch swing. If Aunt Wavie and Aunt Annis were visiting, we'd all sing hymns loudly. Grandad would laugh and say the cows would give sour milk in the morning. Sue Bennett Sagrati

He breathed a heavy sigh about 10 o'clock at night and was gone." She records "he had a nice coffin and was laid out nice. I don't know how I can stand the blow!

*** Potter, Ridley (Riley) died April 18, 1886 age 82 (1804)
Loraina Palmer died April 21, 1886 age 79 (1807)
The dates are from the obituary in the REPORTER JOURNAL
They married September 5, 1833
There is no record of them in the cemetery plot book, however records found in the Montrose Historical Society support they are buried here. The REPORTER JOURNAL on May 6, 1886 carried their obituaries, and the Commemorative Biographies of Northeast Pennsylvania published in 1900 has a biography on Thomas Potter that states his parents were buried at Clapper Hill 1885. The year was in error. They died one week apart. The article records
the following family members; Isaac who served in the Civil War and was killed July 2, 1863, at Gettysburg, Mary the wife of Henry Hall, Thomas, Abraham was killed in the Civil War while serving in the Army, Alice who was Mrs James Bunnell, and Ester. Ester died Sept 18, 1864 age 13 years 11 months and 28 days. She was buried in the Stevensville Cemetery. Her brother Thomas, and his wife Sally, who died at the age of 61 years March 11, 1893 were buried there when they passed. Thomas Potter, the son of Riley enlisted at Towanda in the Co. I 51st P. V. I. under Col Thomas Parker. He married May 1, 1867 to Mrs. Sally Sharer Williams, daughter of William and Elizabeth Featherbay Sharer. Sally was the widow of Francis Williams. Thomas was buried in the Stevensville Cemetery with no stone. His military standard is adjacent to his wife's stone. He was born May 1, 1839. I have no death date.
Historians note: Riley W. and Isaac Potter enlisted together at Towanda, Pennsylvania August 22, 1862. Riley deserted April 15, 1863. After all he was an old man, and it was a lot of stress to handle. His son Abram was killed during this time he was absent without leave. Riley reenlisted and served his second hitch in the 57th Regt. Pa Vol. A unit made up of old men and deserters. He enlisted in the 57th May 28, 1863, not long after Abram died. After the war Riley returned home. Riley was listed in the Pennsylvania 1870 Auburn Township census, age 66 born New York, his wife Lorania, age 56 born New York.
Abram Potter, son of Riley served in Company A, 151st Pa Vol.. He died at Windmill Point, Virginia May 10, 1863 from wounds received in battle. The son Isaac R Potter was a casualty of the Civil War at age 29, killed at Gettysburg, July 2, 1863. At one point both father and son served in the 141st infantry, Pa. Vol. Isaac received the "BADGE OF HONOR".
The brothers may be buried near their sister, Mary Hall in lot 134 This would be placing the Civil War Casualties in relative proximity with the Culver boys on the upper side. No records record where any of this family is buried in the Beaver Meadows. There is a broken headstone for Mary Hall and Luella, her child.
