in ILLINOIS
BROTHER OF THE LATE HARRISON
CORK, PASSES AWAY, AFTER
SUCCESSFUL CAREER.
Deceased Was Bonn in clarksburg and is
kindly Remembered Here-Lived in
Illinois Number Of Years.-Man
Of Fine Character.

Joseph II. Cork is dead at his home il
Marshall, Illinois. Mr.. Cork was borr
in ClarIesburg, w. Va August %, 1850
and died July 21, 1908, at his home OF
Walnut prairie, Marshall, III. The de
ceased was brother of the late Har.
rison Cork, father of Ellsworth Cork, and
was in Clarksburg Inst at the funeral
of his brother, whoch occurred something
over a year ago. He was wen remem-
bered here and had many friends, who
regret to learn of his death.
On December %, 1875, he was married
to Blsie J. Corey, who survives him. TO
this unoin eight children were born, sew
en- boys and one girl, an Of whom, ex-
cept one boy, are yet living.
Mr.. Cork was n very fine specimen of
physical manhood, never sick and al
ways read to join the boys in their recre-
alton pasttimes. His one serious illness,
lasting but few days and ending in
his death, was SO Unexpected that the
friends and neighbors can hardly realize
that Joe Cork is dead.
1t was always Characteristic of Mr..
Cork to stand firmly for the right as
he saw it. Unwavering in his fidelity to
his friends, he was always found Mt his
post in line of duty, charitable in his
views as to the frailties and faults of
men, he was alike charitable to the needy
and to his employees. He was successful
in his business, honest IN his dealings
and fair in his Judgment. To the Chris
tian faith he made no proud pretensons.
