From researcher David L. Gustner.
"Curiously, the Prospect Cemetery records show that Julia Faulkner is buried there. The Whitney Family information indicated that she is buried in Forest Home Cemetery, Waverly, NY, where she was apparently living at the time of her death. Don't think she is buried both places but I'm unable to find which is correct. Unfortunately neither the Wellsboro Agitator nor the Wellsboro Gazette, which might have cleared things up, is available for the year 1875.".

Both of these sketches come from History of Tioga County, Pennsylvania, 1897.
"Roswell Bailey, a native of Vermont, came into the county about 1802 and located in Tioga township. About 1810 he removed to what is now known as the Dartt settlement, in Charleston township, and there became a pioneer settler. Here he engaged in farming and lumbering until his death. The tombstone over his grave in the Dartt settlement cemetery bears the following inscription: Rozel Bailey, Killed by the upsetting of his wagon, Oct. 24, 1840.
At the time of his death he was engaged in hauling heavy castings for his sawmill. The team ran away, while going down hill, upsetting the wagon and crushing him under its load. His sister, Betsey, came into the county with him and in 1812 became the wife of John Lawrence. On February 11, 1891, being then a resident of Mansfield, she celebrated the one hundredth anniversary of her birth, and lived nearly a year longer."
"Roswell Bailey was born in Vermont, December 25, 1782, came to Tioga county, Pennsylvania, about the year 1802 and located in Tioga township. In 1810 he removed to Dartt settlement, in Charleston township, where he cleared and improved a farm and died October 24, 1840. In 1805 Mr. Bailey married Lucinda Clark, of which union six children grew to maturity named as follows: Clark W., Robert B., Roswell W., Mary A., Benjamin M., And Justis B. Mrs Bailey died in the early twenties and in 1923 he married Julia A. Rockwell, who became the mother of six children: John W., Rockwell S., George W., Julia A., Ellen M., and Caroline."

From the Tioga Eagle.
November 4, 1840 - "It is with feelings of deep regret that we announce the death of Mr. Rozel Bailey, one of the earliest and most respectable inhabitants in this county. As he was returning homewards on the 23d ult. with a two-horse team loaded with heavy iron castings for a saw mill, the horses, in the neighborhood of "Daggett's Hollow" ran off, Mr. Bailey, it seems, was sitting up on the wagon when it broke to pieces, and no doubt was dragged a considerable distance before the horses became disengaged from the fragments of the wreck. The body was taken up a short time after, but the vital spark had fled to Him who gave it.
The remains, on the Monday following, were followed to the grave by a large concourse of citizens who seemed deeply affected by the melancholy catastrophe, which has taken from our society a worthy member and much beloved neighbor."
