 Colonel Corcoran rarely ever spoke of his wife's illness and death, but always with poignant grief. His re- verence for the memory of his young wife was indeed beautiful. The writ CT as. his physician for more than twenty years had opportunity to know and appreciate his many good qualities and tender heart.
