Schweitzer, Mary Helena (adopted name Ross, married Chester Wilcox)
Mary has a beautifully etched flagstone from the Kelley quarry just as she had wished for.
August 18, 1917 - August 12, 1995 aged 79
Mary was cremated, she was 39 and still holding!
A memorial service was held from the cemetery August 26, 1995
just as Mary had wished. Her friend Herb Button conducted the service.
Mary was adopted as a child by Dr. Napolean B. Ross and his Mary Agnes of Binghamton, New York. She married Chester Wilcox, and was the mother of
five children: Paul, Rosemary, Charles, Martin, and Raymond
Wilcox
* Historian's note: She was a great piano player who learned to play by ear. She was always there when the church needed cleaning, ready and willing to help for whatever needed doing. She started to compile a history of the area which I have included in this book. Mary was one of my best buddies!
From visiting with Raymond Wilcox her son, I see how much she needed the love of the community, and she had it. She felt no love in her home life before 1970 when she left her husband Chester Wilcox to strike out on her own as a battered wife. At first she went to Clarks Summit to work for Bill Schweitzer, and later to his home on Clapper Hill which was the former Joel and Josephine Clapper Carter homestead. She never married Bill. She was his common law wife.

Welcome to the Brotzman Site! Before I begin telling you about our "Family Site" I want to mention a wonderful friend, Mary Schweitzer. Mary was born August 18, 1917 and left us on August 12, 1995. She was a wonderful friend and inspired me to write my first book. I might not have done it without her encouragement. The song you are listening to is " Danny Boy" and Mary played it so beautifully! She played by ear and was such a wonderful friend. So, to Mary, from Carol..."Danny Boy."

AN ANGELS WINGS
HE HAD AN EAGLE ON HIS CHEST
IT SHOWED HE WAS AMERICA'S BEST.
TO THE CHILDREN'S DELIGHT, HE'D MAKE IT FLY
THEY WOULD LAUGH UNTIL THEY CRIED.
HE COACHED BASEBALL AND LOVED TO WALK
WORKED IN HIS GARDEN BUT HAD TIME TO TALK.
WITH EYES THAT SPARKLED AND A SMILE
HE WOULD GREET US ALL AS HE WALKED HIS MILE.

NOW THE EAGLE HAS GONE TO REST
HE'S TRADED THE WINGS ON HIS CHEST.

REMEMBER THIS IS NEVER THE END.

YES, HE WILL BE MISSED BY FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND WIFE,

The subject of this sketch, the only child of Mr. and Mrs. N. (Nathan) C. Strickland, was born in this place June 25, 1875, and departed this life Feb. 14, 1896. She was married July 19, 1894, to Ward L. Smith of West Auburn. The fruit of this union was a little son. A very large gathering met at her home Sunday, Feb. 16, to pay their last respects to the departed. She was laid in her final resting place, which is in sight of her childhood home, Rev. A. Scofield, her former pastor, conducting the funeral services. The husband and parents have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community. I would note she was buried in the Beaver Meadows Cemetery on February 16, 1896. Contributed by Carol Hoose Brotzman

Wage - Lent Reunion
October 11, 1894
We were ready Sunday morning, the 8th inst., my wife and self started on a thirty mile drive across county. Leaving our home in Lackawanna County, we crossed a corner of Wyoming County and entered Susquehanna County in Springville Township. Stopping with friends for the night, it was our pleasure to attend a prayer meeting in a school house, in which we had previously presided as teacher of the day school for three years. Meeting old acquaintances and forming new ones, together with the privilege of worshiping with these people once more, was an enjoyable evening indeed. Monday found us on our way over the ills and through the valleys of Auburn township and we must say that we never saw the country when the scenery was more pleasing. The hillside being beautifully mottled with green, golden, crimson forest, with bright blue sky for a background, presented a grand picture. The merry song of birds added to the enjoyment of this warm Indian Summer day, and the hours spent eating lunch and picking chestnuts while our horse rested will not soon be forgotten. Arriving at the "old home" early Monday evening, we had plenty of time to visit our friends there before
THE FAMILY GATHERING
Wednesday, October 11 at an early hour Mr. and Mrs. Chester C. Wage were made to rejoice in seeing their six living children again under the parental roof. Those from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. L.M. Wage, Binghamton, New York, Mrs. Eliza Clapper of Candor, New York, Mr. and Mrs. George Jay of Herrickville, Pennsylvania, Mr. and Mrs. S.B. Wage of LaPlume, Pennsylvania, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Woodruff, of Skinner's Eddie, Pennsylvania, and Mrs. Edward Marbaker of Vay, Virginia. Other grandchildren and great grandchildren were present from all the above places making a happy family group of thirty one. At twelve thirty P.M., father and mother took their places at the head of the table, while the "children" arranged themselves just as they used to sit around the old table years ago in their childhood, and many a fond glance did father and mother give as they were seated around the table, to see the children do justice to a bountiful dinner which was furnished by their youngest son, H.O. Wage and his estimable wife Rose. After dinner we were all invited to the sitting room where mother, with these few and impressive words, presented each of her children with a patchwork quilt, pieced by her own hands, "Children, it is quite likely that we may never all met again on earth, so I want to give you these as a token of my esteem of you, for the kindness you have ever shown me. They are yours to keep, or use, as you may see fit. It is probably the last work I will ever do for you". We need not say they were thankfully received and will be treasured as "mother's last gift". After another hour of visiting, talking of childhood days, of the past, of business prospects and hopes for the future, the following resolution was passed. Resolved--that we make this the first of an annual family gathering, and as long as mother and father live, it shall be held here at the old homestead. Soon after we joined in singing "God Be With You Till We Meet Again", then came the hand shaking and good-byes and at 3:30 PM we began to turn our faces homeward, thankful for all well pleased with the result of this home gathering.

Wage - Lent Reunion
October, 1895
In pursuance of the arrangements made one year ago, the Wage-Lent Reunion was celebrated on the 9th inst., at the house of C. C. Wage, Opposition, Bradford County, Pennsylvania. Although late in the season and the day not all that could be wished for, a goodly number of relatives and friends assembled. The time was spent by the old folks going over again their youthful pranks, the joy and pleasures they enjoyed in days gone by. While the boys and girls of today enjoyed themselves as only young people can when full of youthful health and vigor. Truly to look upon such a scene one can but think that they are spending their happiest days.
Soon after the noon hour, dinner ??????? , when the following proceeded ??????? and the usual amount of provisions on such occasions (of which the most novel work of culinary was a layer pie). C.C. Wage, J.H. Lent, wife and grandchildren, Delphine, L.M. Wage and wife, Mrs. George Jay and granddaughter, Lizzie, Mrs. Eliza Clapper, Mrs. E.J. Marbaker and son Willie, Mrs. S.B. Wage, H.O. Wage, George Wickiser and wife, A.B. Williams, wife and daughter, Frankie, L.R. Picket, wife and son, Marcus, M.J. Picket and wife, Miles Marbaker and wife, Wallace Wage and wife, R.F. Marbaker, Mrs. Grace Banks and daughter, Leta, Fred Wage, Lena Wage, Pearl Wage, Chester Wage, Dorsa Wage, Ulysses Clapper, Lystra Jay, Lee Jay, Emma Marbaker, Morton Marbaker, Ettie Clapper, Jesse Gibbs, Leslie Warner, Mrs. A.E. Bennett, and Myrtie Hoover.
In the evening Messers. George Lacey and Burton Gibbs and Misses Edith Lacey and Effie Fowler called and helped make time pass pleasantly.
After dinner, L.M. Wage, president, called for order, when the following program was rendered: Prayer by A.B. Williams, a few selections of appropriate hymns were sung. After which the young folks recited some very fine selections of poetry, when "Uncle George" Wickiser offered a closing prayer. The good-byes soon began to be said, all agreeing that "we have had a good time".
Since our parting one year ago, there has been some changes in our numbers. October 6, 1894, J.S. Clapper was married to a Miss Rice. After two short months she left us, gone from whence none ever return. April 14th, 1895, Lelia Kime, age twenty one years and ten months, passed away. In her last moments she exclaimed "I hear the angels singing so sweetly", and with a good bye to loved ones she was gone leaving a husband and infant son, who after four months, followed his Mama leaving Pa alone. May 14th, 1895, Miles Marbaker was married to Miss Mary Warner. About two months ago Wallace Wage was married to Miss May (Gunderman), come to think I never knew what her name was, but she was one among the rest on the 9th inst.
The scribe, although not present, is under obligation for cake, layer pie, etc. The thoughtful ones please accept thanks. The next reunion will be held at the same place on the last Wednesday in August, 1896.

From the Holister Collection
Mary Bennett West
The subject of this sketch was of New England stock, her birth place being Connecticut Some sixty years ago the family came to Rushville, where her father Charles Bennett settled and cleared up a farm, making a family home. On reaching early womanhood Mary united in marriage with Hobart West. The young couple settled in Forrest lake where they lived until about 1867 when the family came to Tuscarora township where the deceased has since has principally lived. Mr. West who was a soldier in the 143 Regiment in the Pennsylvania Volunteers serving his country faithfully until the close of the war died in 1876 leaving his companion and five children three of whom were in their infancy. Mrs. West, though left with little support kept the old home, raised her children being a faithful mother, a good neighbor and a faithful Christian woman though making no public profession of her religion. Her later years were principally passed with her daughter Mrs. William Potter who died a few months ago, this death being such a blow that the aged mother never recovered. Coming to her son Frank of Merryall hardly a month ago to pass the remainder of her life at his home. About two weeks ago she was attacked by the grip which developed into pneumonia and though everything possible was done, owing to her age, faithfully seventy and her enfeebling health she grew worse and passed away January 25, 1901. The following Monday the remains were taken to the Beaver Meadows Church where services were conducted by Rev. M L. Cook of Merryall attended by a large congregation of her old neighbors and friends. Interment was made in the adjoining cemetery. Contributed by Carol Brotzman

After that census she seems to 'disappear', she came to Pennsylvania to be with her sister Eliza.

This is a photo of the Beaver Meadows Church from the backside before 1942
Note the difference in the shed above the church; it appears much larger and planked. It has not been turned around yet; note the full-sized flagpole on the veteran’s grave indicating it was at Memorial Day time. Take note of those beautiful peonies too. People had such respect for the deceased in that time era. They felt peonies lasted forever on a gravesite.
It appears they were clearing the cemetery on the upper side of the photo. The cemetery in that time zone went on an angle from the bottom of the cemetery to the top marking off what we call the new section of the cemetery from the old section.
The steeple is gone as are the horse sheds making its date after 1942, as it was about that time that Archie Maxfield was hired to remove them. It appears that the church might be on its new foundation making it after 1949 but that is not a given. The photo did not have the date on the side of the card making it prior to the 1955 era.
The full-sized flag is placed on the original grave maker for David Woodruff (1831 – 1905), a Civil War Veteran. That stone is all eroded off now and a newer, on the ground style Veterans marker now marks his grave. Glenn Bennett seen to it David Woodruff had a proper marker when he was with the cemetery association.

There are two unmarked graves with flags, representing soldiers of the Civil War alongside the cemetery fence next to the parking lot. Glenn Bennett tried to ascertain the names of these soldiers, but was unable to accomplish this task. All we know is that they are numbered 138 and 112. The American Legion says they kept no records. Two more unknown soldiers, that someone once knew who was. Gone but not forgotten here.
Glenn Bennett told me that these two stones in the lower corner of the Beaver Meadows cemetery mark the beginning of an area which continues to the old tree (stump now) where many were buried in mass graves with typhoid or contagious diseases in the1880 to 1900 era. They represent our unknown burials. They had to be buried quickly to protect the rest of the community.
