LINAL CORNWELL
Passes Away After a Lingering Illness.
Linal O. Cornwell, the popular mail carrier on Route II, out of Philadelphia, passed away at his home on Antwerp street, Wednesday morning, at 12:15 o'clock, after an illness of several weeks, following an operation at the City Hospital, Watertown. Aged 40 years.
Mr. Cornwell left for the hospital the middle of July and underwent an operation, from which he was recovering, when other complications set in, and little hopes were given for his recovery at that time. However, his condition took a turn for the better and he was brought to his home in Philadelphia and showed marked signs of improvement until a few days ago, when he began to lose strength until the end.
He was born in Theresa, and when young moved with his parents to Thorpe, Wis. Twenty years later they returned to Jefferson county, and took up their residence in Philadelphia.
He was a member of Philadelphia Odd Fellows and a Past Noble Grand of the order, also past district Grand Marshall. He was also a member of the Ryan Camp Modern Woodmen, and the O. H. & P. of Watertown. He was also a member of the Methodist church, treasurer of the Methodist Sunday school, and president, of the Epworth League, and was an ardent worker for the church.
About twelve years ago, he was appointed carrier on the rural route and has faithfully served his patrons ever since, winning the friendship and esteem of all on his route as well as his fellow citizens.
He is survived by his parents, Mrs. and Mrs. Rozelle Cornwell, with whom he lived in Philadelphia, a sister, Mrs. William J. Cobey, of Philadelhpia.
The funeral was held from the Methodist church yesterday afternoon at 1:00, Rev. C. M. Smith officiating. The Odd Fellows conducted their impressive burial service, and the Woodmen attended in a body. Burial was made in the family plot at the Theresa cemetery.
