Marvin Cornwell Dies On Sunday
Marvin Loyd Cornwell, 68, widely known and affable salesman died rather suddenly at Holzer hospital Sunday at 10:30 p.m. He had been admitted to the hospital on Saturday but at that time his condition was not considered critical. He had been in rather poor health for several years suffering from a heart condition. His acquaintance was quite wide in Gallia and surrounding area through his lifetime spent as a salesman. He started his sales career as a shoe salesman in Huntinton, and later traveled for the H. J. Heinz Co. At one time he worked for the Bell store in Gallipolis, and during World War 11 was connected with the naval depot at Pt. Pleasant for a period of seven years. His last connection was with the Grange Mutual and Casulty Insurance Co., which gave him a wide acquaintance with many Gallia county farmers.
Mr. Cornwell was born in Huntington on July 19, 1887, the son of the late Robert Butler and Roberta Carter Cornwell. The father was a salesman and in his later years made his home at Eureka. The deceased attended school in Huntington and Marshall college. Two brothers, Don and Earl preceded him in death.
Mr. Cornwell was twice married. His first was to the former Marie Ingles at Gallipolis in 1912.She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jap Ingles, her father being cashier of the First National bank. Mrs. Cornwell died in 1929, leaving three children, Robert, who is business manager of the Gallipolis State Institute, Mrs. James (Roberta) O'Brien of Pomeroy, and Mrs. William (Charlotte) Brown of Clinton, Ky.
In 1937, Mr. Cornwell was married to his second wife, the former Mary Hamilton Lanthorn, who died in 1951. A stepdaughter, Mrs. Eleanor Lanthorn Walker of Newton Falls, is a survivor of that union. There are eight grandchildren. Mrs. Anna McCormick, Gallipolis, and Mrs. Robert Woodrum of Clifton Forge, Va., are first cousins and the only survivors of other branches of Mr. Cornwell's family.
Mr. Cornwell held membership in Morning Dawn lodge, Gallipolis chapter, Royal Arch Masons, and Moriah council. He was active in the Ohio Chapel Methodist church and used his talent as a pianist and singer at many church functions.
