One day an inspiration had;
Said he, .I'll write a catchy adj,

A boyish countenance, and place

And SO he did. Soon mid the din

Age gave outlaws that ended,in

W. Fl. Cornell was born at Leeds,
Yorkshire, England, November 90,
1882 and died July %, 1903 and
was seventy years seven months and
23 days old at the time Of his death.
For the past year and half Mr..
Cornell had been a great sufferer,
and all that medical science and
loving friends could do to alleviate
his sufferings seemed in vain, for
the disease yielded only temporarily
and then renewed its ravages day
after day, week after week, and
month after month, until the once
strong man that he was yielded and
death claimed its own. During all
this long sickness we called fire.
quently to see our friend and always
found him cheerful and looking on
the bright side Of the future.
The funeral services were held at
the St. Paups Union church, Satur-
day at two o'clock and the large and
sympathyzing audience in attendance
was an evidence of the esteem in
which he was held. The services
were conducted by Rev. Hubbell Of
Edgewood, assisted by Rev. M. L.
Bushnell Of Rock Prairie, and were
very impressive. The burial was in
| the Rock Prairie cemetery, beside
his children that had gone before.
His sister, Mrs. Susan Wright Of
New Hartford, and other relatives
from Parkersburg and Alden, Iowa,
were in attendance at the funeral.
i Mr.. Cornell was married three
times, his first marriage occurred at
Walsingham, Ontario, Canada,
March 90, 1853 to Miss Ruth Spell
and soon after this marriage he
emigrated to Iowa and settled in
Hardin county. His first wife died
in November 1854. He married
again January %, 1857, to Miss
, Clarinda Alden, then Of Alden
Hardin county, Iowa. Mr.. Connell's
second wife died March Z, 1866, and
