OBITUARY:  BENJAMIN F. HIMES, (Suburban News, Spencerport, NY, Issue 13, March 29, 1999)
We buried Ben Himes on March 19, 1999, close to the first day of spring, "almost planting time," as he used to say to me.  I was assisted by my five brothers-in-law as we carried the wooden casket through the snow to his grave site.  It was a beautiful, bright Saturday morning in the rural peaceful Oatka Cemetery of Scottsville.  His six daughters sat beneath a temporary shelter as their families gathered around in the bright sunshine.  The Reverend Robert W. Sapp officiated as huge flocks of Canadian geese flew overhead, honking their spring salute.  Ben would have liked that, this season was his favorite time of year.  Born in Brookville, PA nearly 89 years ago, my father in-law was like a father to me since my dad passed away 24 years ago.  A long-time resident of Greece, Ben moved his family to their new home on Parma Center Road when he retired from Kodak in 1971.  This is where Ben lived until he died on March 4, 1999.  Ben was a farmer at heart.  At anytime in the fall, he could be found picking apples at his friend Les Haradine's Burritt Road apple orchards.  many of his summer day were spent joyfully helping me on my small Greece farm. He loved planting crops and watching them grow and produce abundantly.  I am going to miss him greatly when busy planting time comes in  May.  Oh yes, he will be there in spirit, but no longer will I see his big smile as he drives my old Farmall tractors.  Without him, I will do my best to see that those rows of tomatoes are planted straight.  Ben was always a stickler on that.  I know that he is remembered and respected for all the kind deeds he performed for countless people. I shall remember him for all those good things, but most of all I will miss him because he was my god friend and a perfect father-in-law.  Ben was a great family man, married to Helen Murphy Himes for nearly 62 years. They raised six wonderful daughters during some rough depression and war years.  My father-in-law loved his family, neighbors, church, woodworking, hunting rabbits, and beagle hounds.  he was also fond of picking sweet corn and apples, making popcorn, eating homemade ice cream, windmills, home and his country.   so it was fitting when we buried Ben Himes in the shadow of a tall windmill and a nearby farm with horses.  He must have planned it that way.  He is now with his Lord.  I sure hope there are apple orchards and old Farmall tractors up there for him to enjoy.

Mrs. Elizabeth Hulings was born n the city of Erie, Pa., on May 5, 1838, and died at her home in Tionesta, at 1:30 p.m., on Monday, January 25, 1909, aged 70 years, 8 months and 20 days.  At the age of sixteen years she came to Tionesta to make her home with the family of Dr. W. C. Whitley, a prominent physician in his day.  She has since resided here and on January 5, 1865, in the city of Philadelphia, Pa., she became the wife of Hon. S. S.

Randall, went into   business together at what is now known as the Rural House, where she has since made her home.  Although not enjoying the best of health for the past couple of years, her condition  did not become alarming until last Friday, when she took to her bed and gradually grew weaker, finally passing peacefully away with a smile on her face, that betokened a satisfaction as to the hereafter, that  is very comforting to those who are left to mourn her loss.  During her many years in Tionesta Aunty Hulings was dearly beloved by all.  Her charity is known in many homes in this vicinity, it being a pleasure to her to look after and help the needy.  She was a kindhearted Christian woman and her noble traits will long live in the hearts of the people hereabouts.   And only those with whom she was most closely connected can ever know what it is to miss the touch of the hand that is motionless or the voice that is forever still.   She was the eldest daughter of a family of four children born to Charles and Anna Wanzor, an older brother, James Wanzor, a veteran of the Civil War, dying at McKeesport, Pa., some ten years ago, and Mrs. C.A. Randall and William Wanzor, both of whom reside in Tionesta.  She is also survived by several nieces and on e nephew.  Funeral services will be conducted by Revs Bailey and Calhoun at her late home here this Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock, after which the body will be laid to rest beside those of her husband in Riverside cemetery to await the Master's call on the Resurrection morn.
