LAKE SHORE
At the termination of a painful illness on the evening of May 21 occurred the death of one of our most highly esteemed townsmen, Olin D. Cornwell. Mr. Cornwell was a man who possessed a robust physique, and to the casual observer his chances of being numbered with the few who passed their eightieth birthday seemed very flattering. Since some time last winter he had been suffering from the development of internal abscesses which finally caused his death. At the time of his birth, his parents, Frances and Priscilla Cornwell, resided in the town of Worth, Jefferson Co., N. Y. At the age of seventeen with his parents he moved into Oswego county. Upon the first day of January, 1872, he was united in marriage to Captain William Bishop's only daughter, Rosa J., who with the brother, M. D. Cornwell of Pulaski, a son, Alfred L. Cornwell, of Ogdensburg, a daughter, Laura J. Clark, of Adams survived him. For more than twenty years he has resided on the Captain Bishop farm. Mr. Cornwell was a farmer born. He enjoyed the constant contact with nature which is enjoyed by the practical, thorough agriculturalist such as Mr. Cornwell was. Being a student in agricultural methods and practices, he became a member of Pulaski Grange and also of the Ontario association P. of I. These societies have each lost a valuable member. He had already served his town as commissioner of highways and refused the second nomination for the same office. Last autumn he was elected assessor. Had he not been cut off he undoubtedly would have served his town for years to come as his sterling worth began to be appreciated. His love for the true, the useful and the beautiful, coupled with the cheerful disposition, contributed to his enjoyment and helped him to be a loving husband, a kind father, a good neighbor, a valuable and honored citizen. His modest, faithful companion, his children and the whole community have in his death sustained and irreparable loss. His funeral was held at his late home, the Rev. D. C. Hagan officiating. His remains were laid away to rest in Woodlawn cemetery, Sandy Creek.
