Pearl Creek
The death of Mrs. Maria Cornwell
Brownell occurred at her home here
on Tuesday, June 28, from dropsy,
after an illness of ten weeks. She
was born in Scipio, N. Y., in November,
1829, and had resided here for
thirty years, and was known and loved
by many outside her family circle,
although rarely seen away from her
own fireside. Mrs. Brownell had
lived alone from choice since the
death of her husband to whom she
was married in Perry, April 20,
1848. The cheerful philosophy and
quaint humor of Grandma Brownell
will be remembered by those who
knew her best. At her death she
was a member of the Pavilion Baptist
church, having joined by letter from
the LaGrange church. .Mrs. Brownell
is survived by two brothers, Harrison
Cornwell, of Moscow, and Emerson,
of Perry; two daughters, Mrs. Helen
Macklin, of Yates City, Ill., and
Mrs. Amanda Baker, of Brighton,
N. Y.; four sons, Lorenzo and Edward,
of Pearl Creek; George, of
Ithaca, and Frank, of Scranton, Pa.;
an ten grand children. The funeral
was held from her late home Thursday
at two o'clock, Rev. Bert Williams,
of Pavilion Baptist church,
officiating. Interment was made in
Pearl Creek cemetery.
