Town TOPICS.
Death of Sidney Cornell.
OCCURS ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON AT
THE NEWTOWN INN.

Sidney Cornell, who for nearly quar-
ter Oh century has made his home in
Newtown, passed away on Saturday at-
ternoon, at his rooms at the NeWtown
Inn, after few days Illness. About
two weeks ago he paid a visit to Shelton,
passing the day with his son, Thomas l..
Cornell. He enjoyed the trip, but COM
planned of some pain on arriving home
and gradually failed up to the time of
his death. He did not take to his bed
until few days previous to Saturday.
Sidney Cornell was born in New York
on April 30, 1915, and was one of the
last of the old-time merchants of New
Y ork City. He was the son of Elijah
and Mary Willis Cornell. He was an
importer Of hardware and entered into
partnership with his brother, the late
Samuel M. Cornell, about 1910, on the
same corner Of Pearl and Fulton streets
on which his father, Elijah, started the
same kind of business ia 1902. For years
he lived on Brooklyn Heights and was q
director in the Brooklyn bank and Long
Island Safe Deposit Co. He left widow
and two sons, Thomas L. Cornell of Der
by and Samuel M. Cornell of Guilford.
His wife was the daughter of the late
Foster and Christiana Tiers Nostrand of
New York. Mr Cornell came to New
town in 1875, spending his summers only
at fret at Dicks hotel. Later he made
his home at this hostelry the year round.
He was greatly disturbed at the burning
of the hotel in 1897, and returned to the
new hotel as soon as it was completed
The tender and considerate care he be-
slowed upon his life partner was always
noted by those who knew them. Her
increasing infirmities only made his at
tentions the more loving and considerate.
Mr. Cornell was typical gentleman Of
the old school, and his clear cut features
and correct attire always made him an
object Of attention. He was verv
methodical in his habits. For years it
was his habit before retiring to start out
for walk the length of the tar walk in
the Street, and the rap of his cane on the
walk about 3 p. M, came to be a.
familiar sound to the residents along
the way, as the buzzings of the insects
themselves. 1t goes without saying he
will be missed.
The funeral service was held on Tues
day morning at 1915 at the Newtown
Inn, Rev George T. Linsley officiating
The remains were then conveyed to the
Newtown station, and placed on the
11.27 a. m. train and taken to Greenwood
cemetery, Brooklyn, for interment. Rev
Mr. Linsley accompanied the friends to
Brooklyn and read the committal service
at the grave.
