Dorothy BAKER was born in the Mountain Clinic in Olean, Nov. 14, 1925. Since that time she has lived with her family on the McNAMARA homestead on Crawford Creek. Dorothy first attended school on Crawford Creek and later entered the Belfast Central School where she was an honor pupil in the eighth grade. She was always conscientious and dependable. A sweet, lovable little girl who will be greatly missed by her family, the members of the faculty and the student body with whom she was associated. She has left to mourn their loss, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde BAKER a younger sister, Joan and a brother John; also two uncles, Chas. McNAMARA of Crawford Creek, and Arthur McNAMARA of Belfast. Funeral services were held in St. Patrick's Church, Thursday morning at nine o'clock. Rev. F.P. RYAN sang the Requiem Mass. Burial was in Holy Cross Cemetery. Dottie has gone to live where "always their angels do behold the face of our Father." One moment "standing with reluctant feet where the brook and river meet," the next leaving father and mother and Jackie and Joan and traveling sweetly and fearlessly up the pathway which leads to eternal life. Dropping lessons and play, helping hand and loving ways, she has grown up suddenly into heavenly knowledge and peace. [Northern Allegany Observer obituary, transcribed by Louise Y. Mills, 2003, from Cora Lahr's scrapbooks, Fillmore, NY]

While we are on the s subject of cemeteries-- What is the name of the cemetery in Cuba? Cuba cemetery? Catholics are buried in one portion of that cemetery. Does that section have a different name? My great-grandparents (Michael and Ellen Shea) are buried there. They died before 1900. Are there any records concerning their burials, who paid for/owned the plots, etc.? Where would I find them? love joan For this is the day that the Lord hath made Join me in rejoicing in it, and let us be glad!

I was wondering if anyone knows how I would find the cemetary records for Fillmore cemetary? My great great grandparents would be buried there. Thanks so much.. Penny

He was the son of Balfour MILLS and Adelaide PECK MILLS. There were three children in his family: two sisters, Mrs. Dorliska SMITH and Mrs. Ethel HOLLAND survive. His education was attained in district schools in the Town of Hume and he attended Pike Seminary for a time. He also spent some time at the Rochester Business University. When a young man, he worked in the lumber woods of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pensylvania [sic] and also worked in Denver, Colorado, and on the Yerby Ranch in that State. Except for these times the rest of his life was spent in farming. He had lived on the same farm for the last 55 years. He was one of the first breeders of registered Holstein cattle in this section and always told with pride of the ribbons they won at the County and State fairs. He was always interested in music and was for many years a member of the MILLS Orchestra and MERVILLE's Orchestra which many old timers will remember. He played the bass viol and sometimes the violin and was the caller at the dances where the orchestras played. He also played the tuba in the old Wiscoy Band as he did later in the Rossburg and Portageville Bands. As a young man he played ball with the Rossburg Baseball Club as catcher. In the early days no catcher's glove or chest protector were in use and the catchers hands took severe pounding. At one time Fielder JONES who later went to Brooklyn and Chicago, and then to manager of the St. Louis Browns, played with the Rossburg team and wanted MILLS and a couple of others to go with him but they all elected to stay at Rossburg. He was at one time Deputy Sheriff of Allegany County and served as town constable and district trustee many times. In 1892 he married Minnie HODNETT of Fillmore who died in 1897. He then married Julia DOLE in March 1898. To this union two children were born, Balfour D. of Wiscoy and Adelaide (Mrs. Clyde HOPSON) of Mountain Home, Idaho. Mrs. MILLS died in 1906 and from then until the children were grown he kept them together and did for them the best he could. In 1920 he married Mrs. Effie REDANZ of Fillmore, who died in 1942. Since that time he has again lived alone except for times of illness when he was cared for in his son's home. His health had been gradually failing for the past few years but his last illness was of only a few weeks duration and he passed away at his farm home on May 20, 1949. Burial was in the Alger Cemetery. Besides his two sisters, son and daughter mentioned above, he is survived by six grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Northern Allegany Observer obituary.
