Obituary

George \. Corkett was born in White
water, Wisconsin on November 4, 1857.
On October 80, 1878, he was welded to
Louisa N. Smith of his home town and
the couple resided in Wisconsin until the
year of 1887, when they removed to Den
YER. making that city their home until
in 1893 Mr. Corkett came to the Divide,
settling on claim in the Bijou valley,
where he lived until the time of his
death on October l6, 1908.
George Corkett came to the Divide a
comparatively poor man in this worlds
goods, but by honest, industrious effort
at the time of his death he was in very
comfortable circumstances. What he
possessed was accumulated in many in.
stances under very adverse conditions
but in no case by means other than
strictest honesty and whole souled re.
gard for his neighbors and fellowmen
in all his dealings with them.
His squareness in all his business deal
ings, the high regard in which he was
held by his many friends, the respect
accorded him by his very few enemies,
and the tribute of his family; that he
was kind, considerate husband and
father, go to make up very enviable
earthly record for a man in any rank OF
ife and record on which any man may
safely trust himself to the judgment OF
lis maker. He has gone to his reward
and the world has lost good square
nan,
