A. R. Coryell was born in Illinois, October 7, 1858. While he was yet a baby his parents moved to New Jersey and his early life was spent in Trenton. When nineteen years of age he moved to Iowa and lived for a long while in Page County. Twenty-two years ago last May he married Miss Lulu Beach, whose mother now lives in Clarinda, but is ill and will not be able to attend the funeral. The death of the first Mrs. Coryell left him with seven children to care for. Eight years ago he moved into Villisca and engaged in the blacksmithing business, which occupation he was following at the time of his death.
On July 25, 1903, he married Mrs. Lavica Query, who survives him. Mr. Coryell was a member of the Baptist Church and had been such almost all his life. He was an honest, hard working man and was extremely popular with everybody. His commendable traits were so numerous and his character so good (he did not chew, drink, or smoke) that words of tribute fall. His death is a sad loss to the community.
