Concrete paver for Cornwell Bros.

Brockton Enterprise, Saturday, July 25, 1953, page 2. "Man, 94, Outlives Doctors Who Gave Up on Him at Age 12." Death date and rector named are incorrect.

Brockton Enterprise newspaper, page 1, date unknown, article "Brockton Man, 92, Does Cement Work" with photo of him working.

Manufactured and sold his inventor brother's patented stove dampers (Philip Cornwell).

Picked specific herbs from the fields and forests, prepared them, and sent them to a Boston drug company. He rejected the offer of full-time employment because he would only pick the plants when they were ready in his opinion, not when the company wanted them.
