In 1885 Mr. Cornwell married Miss Katie M. Derr, who was born at
Olin, Iowa, a daughter of Chalkley H. and Jane (Kemp) Derr, who were
natives of Ohio and in 1883 came to South Dakota, settling at La Foon,
Faulk county. In the fall of 1883 the father was elected county judge
and served upon the bench for twelve years, making a most excellent
record in office by reason of the fair and impartial manner in which he
discharged his duties. He passed away in April, 1915, having for a
number of years survived his wife. He was an honored veteran of the
Civil war, having enlisted as a private in Company I, Nineteenth Ohio
Volunteer Infantry, while his valor and loyalty later won him
promotion. Mrs. Cornwell was the eldest of three children and by her
marriage has become the mother of six children: Gertrude E., the wife
of Frank A. Oulton, who is engaged in the elevator and grain business
at Chouteau, Montana; Frances G., living at home; Mary V., who is
official stenographer and secretary of the Faulk County Abstract
Company; John C., who is filling a clerical position in the office of
the register of deeds of Hennepin county, Minnesota; Essie J., a
teacher, living at home; and Inez A., who is attending school.
