Canton Commercial Advertiser - Tuesday March 5, 1946
Stanley W. Cornell, a native of the town of Canton and for forty years engaged in business on Riverside Drive, this village, died at his home, 1 State Street, at 12:30, Thursday afternoon, after being confined to his bed for about ten days with a heart ailment. Few outside of the family and intimate friends were aware that his condition was critical, and announcement of his death came as a startling shock to the entire community.
Funeral services were conducted at the home, Sunday afternoon at 2:30, the Rev. Walter S. Dobbie, minister of the Methodist Church, officiating. The body was placed in the vault at Fairview Cemetery and burial will take place in that cemetery in the spring.
He was born on May 16, 1888, a son of the late Albert and Adelaide Ladison Cornell. The family lived on the hold Heaton farm on the Pierrepont road at the time, one of the early settled farms of the town where John Langdon Heaton, noted New York City newspaper man, was born and where is sister, the late Dr. Lucia Heaton, was born. The Cornells lived on this farm for several years.
He attended the country school nearby and worked on the farm. When he was sixteen years of age he came to this village and entered the employ of the late Charles R. Cook where he learned the machinist's trade. The automobile was just coming in, but he bicycle and motorcycle were then very popular. At the age of 19 he opened a bicycle sales and repair shop on Riverside Drive, and that has been the place of business ever since with a brief period when he spent some time in the Cornelll & Barber shop and sales place on Main street, learning the automobile business. He returned to the Riverside Drive locality and has continued there ever since.
For a long period of years he maintained a successful business at the Riverside Drive shop, ordering tires by the carload and operating a repair shop and tire vulcanizing shop as well as a sales place for the motorcycle.
He was a skilled rider of a motorcycle and entered races throughout Northern New York and Canada, and was a consistent winner. It was not uncommon to see him hop up on the saddle, standing upright on his motorcycle and ride down the hill on the west side of the river and over the bridges. He never was known to have an accident. He was a member of the St. Lawrence Motorcycle Club, organized and named in honor of his son, Stanley Cornell, Jr, who lost his life in France Sept 27, 1944.
He was happily married to Miss Fana McQuade of Gouverneur at Trinity Church, Gouverneur on Dec 4, 1912, the rector, the Rev. James A. Dickson, officiating. He had prior to this time been residing at the home of his parents, but at the time of his marriage moved to a State Street home, near the old J. H. Rushton boat factory. Later on he built the fine home on the site of the boat factory, which has been the family home until this time.
Mr. Cornell had a happy way with everyone and was fond of children and out of door life and a most devoted husband and father whose whole interest was in his home and business, a respected citizen and neighbor, always.
He is survived by his widow; three daughters, Mrs. Harry (Dorine) Lord, Ogdensburg; Alma Cornell, a senior at Potsdam Teachers College; and Betty Jane, a junior at Canton High School; two sons, William G. Cornell, head of the dramatics department at Wappinger Falls High School, and Jack Elden Cornell, stationed with the army air force at Keesler Field, Miss; two sister, Mrs. George (Mildred) Long, Syracuse and Mrs. Clarence (Bernice) Stacy, Buffalo; and two grandchildren, Philip and Nancy Lord, Ogdensburg. A son, Albert B. died in 1919 at the age of six months and Stanley Cornell Jr was killed in action in the war.
