OBITUARY..

e. Col. CORNELIUS OKEY, one of the earliest set
tiers of this country, died at his residence one
half mile north east of this place, op Friday
morning, Sept. %, 1859. He was eldest son
of Judge Levin Okey, and was born in Lewis
town, Sussex County, Delaware, on the 3rd of
January 1888. In the spring of 1900, he re-
moved with his fathers family to the mouth
Of Captina, in Belmont County, in this State.
where, on the 5th of February, 1905, he was
married to Hannah Wier, whom ne survived
seven years. The issue of the marriage was
thirteen children, seven sons and six daugh-
ters, all of whom are still living.
In the Spring of 1915 he removed to the
farm on which he resided at the time of his
decease. We do not use the word farm as now
understood, for then it was un unbroken forest.
Here he settled down, cleared out his farm,
reared his family, and grew up with the coun-
try. At that day the facilities for acquiring
an education were extremely limited, hut
being possessed of strong native intellect, he
to very considerable extent overcame the
disadvantage of the lack of early education;
and shortly alter the organization of the
county, we find him filling important political
stations. III 1925, he represented the county
in the State legislature, and afterwards was
reelected to the same Office several times
He also filed the Office of Auditor and Recorder
and that of Sheriff from 1885 to 1889, and
was Justice of the Peace for many years
All these stations he illea with satisfaction tG
his constituents, aud credit 10 himself.
The virtues of bravery and hospitality ht
possessed in common with nearly all the pio
neers of the Western country. And although
as we have just stated, he was frequently el
evatsd by the freechoice of his fellow citizens
| to posts of honor and importance, yet he wa
remarkably plain and unassuming in his man
ners and however dark the future appeared
to others, he was ever hopeful, ever cheer
full. r = z y 5lll3 1L4 ~ E5~- - p
] He was buried by the Masons of Monro
Lodge, with all the ceremonies of that ancien
order, with which he had been connected near
forty years. The interment was in privat
family burying ground in the orchard plante
with his own hands, He was followed to hi
last resting place by an unusual number @
actual defendants. Twelve out of the thirtee
were there, the sons with their wives and tn
daughters with their husbands, and besides h
was mourned by large number of grand chi
dred and great grand children. a #4
Col. Okey had the most unyieljing faith 1
the final happiness of all mankind, and no on
ever entered more cheerfully on his journey t
that "undiscovered country from whose bour
no traveller returns."s We had the pleasure
] seeing and conversing with him the day prev
ous to his death, and we found him gentl
sinking to rest, as a tired child sinks int
sleep on its mothers lap. Thusfu of year
and of honors was he gathered to his fathers
