Reading a series of obituaries from a single cemetery, as they are presented here, is like reading the multi-generational history of a community. These people were the local populace at a particular time. The people buried here knew each other, were neighbors and relatives. All people are listed in alphabetic order by surname at BIRTH. Women identified by a married alias only and for whom a birth surname can not be identified, are listed on the last page for the cemetery's obituaries. |

Wellsboro Agitator - JUN 12,1883
To the Editor of the Agitator
Clymer, June 4, 1883- Mr Roswell Ackley died of pneumonia, at his residence in
Clymer Township, on Thursday, May 31, 1883, in the seventy-ninth year of his
age. Mr. Ackley was born in Tompkins county, N Y March 14, 1805. He came to
this State about thirty-five years ago, and settled on the farm where he has
ever since resided. His father died when he was eight years old and his mother
when he was thirteen. Left an orphan, this early in life, without money and
obliged to depend upon himself, he formed those habits of self reliance and
industry which characterized his after life. He was just such a man as this
country most needs- active, energetic, self reliant and of uncompromising
integrity. Perhaps no man in this community has done more to reclaim this
country from the wilderness and bring it to its present prosperous condition
than Roswell Ackley. The fruits of his labor are to be seen on every side in
the beautiful and fertile fields and numerous buildings which dot the landscape
in every direction, enduring monuments of his industry and skill. He has left
his "footprints in the sands of time." When the demon of war broke loose
he stood firm and loyal to the old flag. Too old to go to the front himself, he
freely gave his six stalwart sons for the preservation of the Union, all of
whom he was permitted to see return to their homes. Such was the confidence of
the boys of his acquaintance at the front in his integrity that they made him
custodian of their funds. Their confidence was never betrayed; and although the
services he rendered the soldiers were many and sometimes arduous he would
never accept a penny from them in return. He united with the M E Church at the
age of twenty-three, and was an honored member at the time of his death. He
leaves an aged wife and seven children and a large circle of friends to mourn
his loss. Having been often called upon to settle the estates of his deceased
neighbors, there are those to whom he has been guardian and a father who will
always remember him with love and regret. Although everything that money
and skill could devise was done and after eight days of sickness he yielded up
his spirit to his Father and his God. In the little church near his home, which
his own hands helped to rear and which had been his special care, the funeral
services were held, Rev. Mr Howland preaching from Job xiv., 14. Many were
unable to gain admission to the house, which was nearly filled with mourning
friends. By his own request his favorite hymn was sung: "there is a gate that
stands ajar"

In Gainesville, Florida, the YAL chapter at Santa Fe College continued their quest to spread the ideas of liberty on campus with two successful events.
Last Wednesday, March 18, the Santa Fe YAL chapter started off the day by tabling at Santa Fe Student Life's event, where president Joey Bradfield and member Matt Pearson engaged many students in the ideas of liberty.
While initially skeptical, many of the students were won over by their arguments for liberty, free markets, and individualism. While the audience they spoke to was diverse, ranging from 18 year old dual-enrolled students to older students in their mid-fifties, with different backgrounds and ideologies, all of them found common ground with Joey and Matt. All students were encouraged to attend YAL's event with FFF later on that day, where FFF president Jacob Hornberger was to speak.
The FFF event had a good turn out, with 11 interested individuals making an appearance. Jacob spoke for 45 minutes on the dangers of the welfare/warfare state, how libertarianism has grown as an ideology in the last 30 years, and the future of the movement. After his speech, there was a very engaging discussion period where attendees were encouraged to ask questions about how different issues in a free society would work.
All in all, YAL's event with FFF was a success, and we are very grateful for FFF and Jacob Hornberger for coming to campus to speak.
On Thursday, Santa Fe's Office of Diversity put on an international diversity day to showcase different cultures and lifestyles of Santa Fe's international student body. Clubs were encouraged to represent different nations, such as the World Travelers representing Brazil, and the school's Model UN team representing Egypt.
In order for YAL @ SFC to table at the event, they were required to represent a culture as well. So who would the Santa Fe YAL, an organization devoted to spreading the ideas and philosophy of free markets, liberty, and individualism represent? Why, the small alpine state of Liechtenstein!
For those who don't know: the Principality Liechtenstein is a very small country nestled between Switzerland and Austria. Coming in at 61sq. miles, Liechtenstein is the sixth smallest country in the world with only 35,000 citizens, but one of the richest. They have the second highest GDP per person, and a low unemployment rate of 1.5%.
The Prince of Liechtenstein himself, Hans-Adam II, holds many libertarian view points, and has written a political treatise on what the role of the state should be in the 21st Century watch an interview with him here where he speaks about his book. Liechtenstein is also one of the only nations with the constitutionally defined right of secession.
It is very rare for a state to recognize the right of self-determination, and only adds to the uniqueness of the Liechtensteiner state. For any interested, here is a great article on Liechtenstein from liberty.me.
On to Santa Fe's activism for the day: despite being the farthest table to the back, our table received a lot of attention and plaudits for our simplicity and knowledge on the subject matter. Chapter president, Joey, lured in passerby's with his repertoire of knowledge on Liechtenstein, talking about their history, governance, and laissez-faire economic system.
After speaking on Liechtenstein, the conversation would then shift into why YAL was representing the country, how YAL stands for personal and economic freedom, how less state influence and allowing individuals to flourish creates a prosperous society, and how Liechtenstein is a proper case study for people to examine Libertarianism in action.
The case for Liberty was heard by many interested students, many of whom already identifying as libertarian/libertarian leaning, but had never heard of Liechtenstein and its libertarian society.
Bradfield would then shift into what YAL does on campus, our semester plans, and how YAL offers opportunities to their members that they wouldn't find in other clubs on campus. Overall, the Young Americans for Liberty/Liechtenstein table was a rousing success, and people who came to our table left with the seed of liberty planted in their mind.
Now the focus for Santa Fe's YAL chapter shifts to this week's tabling/meeting session on Wednesday. We are preparing ourselves for the Incarceration Nation event.
Last week, Grand Valley State University students were fortunate enough to have former Michigan legislator, Leon Drolet, come to share his experience working in the Michigan State Capitol.
Drolet served as a state representative from 2001 to 2006 and has since founded the Michigan Taxpayers Alliance, which he Chairs. Many Grand Valley students were shocked by what Leon had to say about our political system.
Leon mentioned, "It takes a certain kind of person to run for office". He went on to say, "There is a specific set of characteristics that people who run for office tend to exhibit. If you are working towards becoming a doctor, you are probably a kind and compassionate individual, dedicated to helping others." Leon stated, "A politician's job is to convince people to vote for them. Someone who wants the power to make decisions for others, without accountability, typically express sociopathic traits."
Leon was not suggesting that all politicians are sociopaths, but instead that in his experience, these are the people best equipped for the job of running for and maintaining office. It became clear that the mission for politicians is not to "win on principle", but rather to "win reelection". Winning reelection is determined on one's ability to earn the most funding from companies and various organizations. This, more times than not, is dependent on the way one votes in the house.
Politicians are incentivized to vote a certain way and when they need to collect more votes for a bill, will go ahead and trade votes with congressmen from different regions. This vicious cycle of corruption within our political system goes further and further and Leon wasted no time exposing the many inconvenient truths of congress.
In conclusion, Leon suggests that the best way to change the system is not through voting or running for office, but rather through shifting something referred to as the "Overton Window". This refers to what the public allows politicians to get away with. Marijuana legalization would have been unthinkable in the 1940's, but people have shifted the Overton Window to suggest that this is an acceptable and popular idea.
YAL is dedicated to shifting this window through one-on-one communication, hosting meetings, bringing people to conventions, and executing a wide-range of activism projects each semester. We will continue on our quest of challenging corruption and fighting social injustice on campus. GVSU students are eager to continue shifting the Overton Window.
Wake Forest University is eager and ready to spread the liberty movement!
After handing out several pocket Constitutions and speaking to various potential new members, we kicked off the month of February with two days of tabling.
At the end of fall semester, we appointed our newly elected board consisting of Co-Presidents, a Publicity Chair, Membership Director, Secretary, and Treasurer. We have weekly board meetings in order to have a successful spring semester. After an in-depth discussion regarding our final event that will be held in April, we decided upon a free speech week.
This coming April, our organization will devote three days to spreading the purpose and reasoning behind free speech. While encouraging students, faculty, and staff to sign a free speech ball, we will ignite relationships that will bring on new members and deeper collaboration with other students. On the final day of standing outside our cafeteria, we will present a free speech documentary with pizza and drinks.
I am proud to announce that we will be submitting our own informative article, written by our Membership Director, to our school newspaper, the Old Gold & Black. Additionally, we have begun a conversation with the College Democrats, and will be co-signing another article concerning the Medical Marijuana bill, that was recently introduced in Senate.
This coming fall, we plan on hosting two great speakers, one in late September and one in mid November. Since the Wake Forest University chapter is already recognized by administration, we have applied for a solid budget. We are looking forward to the coming months and are ready to embrace liberty on our college campus.
It is important to incorporate a social aspect into any organization, so members feel comfortable, welcomed, and open. With this in mind, we are going to host a tent at our home football games this fall!
This February, the Young Americans for Liberty chapter at Valencia Community College hosted a debate between our advisor, economics professor Jack Chambless, and socialist biology professor Dr. Lindbeck. We had a great turnout and added around 75 people to our e-mail list.
"Allowing people to be free, allowing people to own property, taxing them little, regulating them little: that's where we see prosperity abound," Chambless said.
Lindbeck's opinion of capitalism was equally clear: "Capitalism can become a weapon to be used by those who have, to keep down those who have not."
The central question of the debate was "Is Capitalism Evil?" Among other things, they discussed the efficiency of the private sector versus the government, crony capitalism, legal plunder, the definition of "exploitation," and the implications of Australia's economic freedom ranking. When we offered the opportunity for students to ask questions, we got a lot of participation.
We're excited about what the future holds for our chapter! We're hoping for many more successful events in the coming weeks.
So, at Ohio University, our YAL/SFL chapter really wanted to hit the ground running this semester. With a new executive board throwing around a myriad of ideas, we have narrowed our focus on specializing in certain issues every week. Our logic is that by promoting issues that may be more prevalent in people's minds, we will find ourselves in a greater position to engage in a discussion about liberty and encourage people to come to our meetings.
To provide a greater springboard for discussions of liberty, we decided to devote this week to a showing of Citizen Four, the documentary which detailed the groundbreaking story of Edward Snowden. High winds on that Tuesday did cause some difficulty getting all the assorted literature together (the sign advertising the movie itself collapsed several times). But, we are persistent here at OU, and neither rain nor high water deters us from getting our message out.
That week, we were fortunate enough to have added 7 potential members to the email list. That Wednesday night, our showing of Citizen Four went off extremely well, and was attended by a good crowd of 13, 6 of whom were new people. We certainly hope that our showing has raised interest in our group and that our tabling events draw more attention to our club on campus.
Here at OU, our vigorous and intellectually diverse executive board has a lot of great ideas being thrown around, all with a down-to-earth mindset on how to make the ideas a reality. We are grateful for the support of YAL so far and can certainly see our chapter growing and going far.
This semester at Central Michigan University, we decided to kick our semester off by partnering with several different organizations on our campus to host a "Flex Your Rights" event. We partnered with the pre-law fraternity on our campus, Student Advocates for Medical and Responsible use of Cannabis, and Students for Concealed Carry to bring students information about how to deal with police.
The event started with meeting the sponsors, where each organization had a table outside of the auditorium. Students were able to see each of our organizations, what we do, and how they can get involved.
Next, we showed "Flex Your Rights" documentary 10 Rules for Dealing with Police which shows a variety of situations that anyone could find themselves in with police and how to deal with those situations.
After a short break, each sponsoring organization gave a 15-minute presentation specific to their organization. I gave a presentation about my personal favorite amendment to the Constitution, the Fourth Amendment! These presentations were informative and a little bit more in-depth, relating to the general topics in the documentary.
Over 50 students showed up, were educated on how to deal with police officers in sticky situations, and were able to check out 4 great organizations on our campus!
Today, the Young Americans for Liberty chapter at Bemidji State University started tabling for spring recruitment from 9 A.M to about 2 P.M.
We used our new tabling techniques that we learned at the YAL Iowa State Convention earlier this month and ended up having a very successful day full of fun and meeting new recruits! (We waited till Thursday to table because we didn't think our student body would be very receptive the morning after St. Patrick's Day).
We met a surprising number of Libertarians who were really excited to find they have a place to come turn their ideals into activism. After the wonderful turnout at the table, we all got together to have a fun "family" dinner. Even though we usually have meetings on Mondays, we took this opportunity to reaffirm our goals for the week.
Within the next couple weeks we are hoping to put on two events, the first being our Incarceration Nation project. The second is our 4/20 bake sale which we hope to use as a chance to educate our student population on the cost of the drug war. Overall we are excited with the progress our new chapter has made and we hope that we can continue to spread Liberty here at Bemidji State.
On most college campuses, a student organization fair is held at the beginning of each semester. While this provides an opportunity for your group to focus on recruitment, sometimes these events are held in a venue or in an environment that makes it difficult to stand out in a sea of other organizations.
In order to compete for the interests of hundreds or even thousands of students, you must draw attention to your table. There are a few ways in which you can do this.
Tip: Use a large poster that features an eye-catching image or idea. Bonus points if you can use an image that will be well received by a majority of students on your campus.
Example: YAL at UW-Madison frequently uses a giant marijuana leaf poster during student organization fairs. This draws attention towards our table in a way that lightens the mood (some college students still giggle over weed), interests more people, and serves as a quick example of YAL's philosophy and mission to help guide our conversations with interested students.
Tip: Fill your table with as much colorful literature and as many freebies as possible.
Example: At UW-Madison, the student organization fair is so large that we have to share a table with another organization. To combat the limited space at this semester's fair, we filled our end of the table with various pieces of literature, stickers, and accessories that filled the entire space and was eye-catching to those walking by. The volume of material and the way in which it was laid out helped us stand out over the groups around us.
Example: Though we were confined to a small space and a shared table at UW-Madison, we were able to improvise. We extended the length of our table using the suitcase that held our tabling materials. By taping one end of the banner to the suitcase and unfolding it enough so that it was readable to those passing by, we were able to clearly identify who we were without encroaching on the space of the other organization at our table.
Tip: Sport a smile and be extremely outgoing so that you can pull people from the crowd towards your table.
Example: This photo of some smiling, liberty-loving YAL UW-Madison members.
The combination of these methods has lead to significantly more sign-ups at UW-Madison, and has made for a more positive recruitment experience despite limited space and a chaotic environment.
YAL Pierce college faced some uphill battles initially. To be recognized by the school, the club needed a teacher to agree to being an adviser. 6 teachers were approached before an adjunct professor with some liberty sympathies was found. One teacher turned the club down saying " I don't think I would be the best person as I don't really support liberty."
We had a tabling event for "club rush" where we distributed informational materials and had 22 people sign up for our email list. We also tabled with an interactive board asking people what they think we should be free to sell. That event created another 27 people interested in receiving the club newsletter.
We have also established a Facebook page that is actively posted to.
Our final event was a screening at lunch of Milton Friedman's 1990 series Free to Choose.
We are looking forward to participating in Incarceration Nation next quarter!

EA's John Riccitiello has stepped down from his position at one of the biggest corporations in the video games industry.
Here's what Riccitiello said in a letter to all company employees: "My decision to leave EA is really all about my accountability for the shortcomings in our financial results this year. It currently looks like we will come in at the low end of, or slightly below, the financial guidance we issued to the Street, and we have fallen short of the internal operating plan we set one year ago. And for that, I am 100 percent accountable."
Larry Probst currently executive chairman while the company finds a replacement. According to EA, Probst was chairman since 1994 and has already been CEO from (1991-2007).
"John has worked hard to lead the company through challenging transitions in our industry, and was instrumental in driving our very significant growth in digital revenues," Probst said.
Oh, and just wanted to post a photograph of John Riccitiello, but unfortunately I seem to have exhausted my supply of sexy pics of Riccitiello, so it's better to leave this post without images of any kind. And in any case you've probably seen most of them - like this one, for example.

The writing was on the wall since DA 2. Since 2010 many of EA's headlining games debuted to either critical derision, poor sales, or poor management. The handling of Bioware and the Mass Effect 3 conclusion debacle. EA's feud with Steam and unsatisfactory handling of their own service, their failure to make sense in the mobile game space, a vow to tuck in micro transactions into every game, their disastrous SimCity launch. Also lets not forget Crysis 3 and Deadspace 3 there sales were not explosive either. When the rain came, it poured. His successor now has a long hard road in front of them. I don't think anyone can fix the company at this point. |

I don't think anyone wants to fix the company at all. It's making money out of recycled ideas. However, it can't go on forever. They are running out of franchises. | ||

That being said, you two are being really melodramatic. It was a disappointing fiscal year for a juggernaut... but they're still no less a juggernaut. Let me know when Madden or Battlefield (or The Sims, or FIFA... I could go on) stops raking in money. THEN maybe one can doomsay regarding EA without seeming completely silly. Even in a down year, EA still rolls in filthy lucre like a pig in shit. But there was slightly less lucre in 2012 than they've become accustomed to, so the CEO gets axed. Such is the business. |

Of course gamers are still sad for what EA did to some of their favorite games and studios, and as such, find John stepping down as opposed to off of a cliff, a bit of a let down. | ||
