George Cornish of Oswego Town died yesterday. Mr. Cornish was born in Plymouth, Mass, in 1802, and came with his parents to Oneida county when about fourteen years of age. In 1827 he married Miss Emeline Joslyn of that place, with whom he lived for more than fifty years. About the year 1830 he came to New Haven where he lived until about 1850 when he moved to the Town of Oswego, where he has since resided. Nearly two months since he suffered a fracture of the right limb from which he was apparently was improving but his extreme old age and consequent general physical weakness gradually undermined an unusually strong, hardy constitution, and for the past five weeks it was evident that he could not survive the effects of the injury. He was a man of strong, rugged character, positive in his convictions, with a kind, generous nature. He leaves two children, Mr. H.A. Cornish of the Times, and Mrs. Daniel Manwarren of Scriba.
The funeral will be attended from the residence of his son, Mr. H.A. Cornish of Oswego Town, Saturday at 10 o'clock
