Resident Since 1837
Charles Wesley Cornell
was born April 18, 1834 in
Tuscarawas county, Ohio.
He came to Fulton county when
three years of age. His family
was the 8th white family
in the county when his parents
moved to Clinton township.
He married Miss Deliah
Korns, March 27, 1856, at Millersburg,
Ohio. She died December 1910, after 55 years of married life.
To them were born seven children,
four of whom are living.
There are also four grandchildren
and seven great-grandchildren.
The last 53 years
of his life have been spent in his home
on Park street. Since the
death of wife, his daughter,
Mrs. Elizabeth Leu, has cared
for him and for the last four
years she has been alone
with him.
Mr. Cornell enlisted
on the 19th of April 1861 to serve
three months in the Civil
War. He was mustered into the
U. S. service as a private
of Capt. E. L. Barber's company
"H", 14th Regiment Ohio Volunteer
Infantry, Col. James B.
Steadman commanding.
He was honorably discharged
on the 12th of August, 1861
at Wauseon, by reason of
expiration of term of service.
He re-enlisted on the 21st
of October 1861 at Wauseon, to
serve 3 years or during the
war, and was mustered into
the service as a private
of Captain Nelson A. Skeels'
Company "E" 68th Regiment

home on a furlough; rejoined
regiment at Boliver, Tenn.
after an absence of 3 months.
He received a gunshot wound
in the right leg above the knee,
near Calhoun, Ga., October
1864. He was at all other times
with his command, rendering
gallant and meritorious service
on all occasions and achived an enviable record for bravery
in action and soldierly bearing
at all times, whether in camp
on the march or on the field
of battle. He was one of the
volunteers to run the blockade
at Vicksburg.
He received a final
honorable discharge on the 17th of July,
1865 at Louisville, Ky.,
by reason of close of the war.
Citation by one of
his officers: "He was always conspicuous
for his splendid courage
and great gallentry on every field,
and by his intelligence and
devotion to duty at all time,
proved himself in all true
soldiery qualities to be the
equal and peer of any of
his comrades - either commissioned
officers or enlisted men.
In short he was one of the best
soldiers I ever knew."
Mr. Cornell has been
in failing health for several years.
He was given kind care and
attention but his strength finally
failed away and on Friday
he passed into the great beyond
having attained the age of
91 years and 5 months.
The funeral services
were conducted from his home Monday
by his Grand Army comrades

Mrs. Chas. Cornell
The Passing of one of
Wauseon's Oldest, Best Known
and Most Respected Residents
at the age of Eighty.
It is with a sense
of personal loss that we chronicle the
death of Mrs. Charles
W. Cornell, which occurred on the night
of Saturday, December
tenth at her home on West Park street.
Mrs. Cornell had only
been ill since the preceding Thursday
having attending to her
usual household duties on that day.
Though past eighty years
of age Mrs. Cornell remained up to
the time of her decease
as active as most persons at sixty.
Coming to Wauseon
in an early day she has grown into the life
of the community and her
influence has been a factor in the
development of the town.
For many years she was a member of the
Women's Relief Corps and
a faithful worker in the interest
of the old veterns. She
was always very much interested in
the cause of temperance
and was one of the charter members
of the W.C.T.U. in this
place. A brief sketch of her life
was read at the funeral
services which were held in the
Methodist church, Tuesday
afternoon, December 13th, by her
pastor, Rev. C. W. Hoffman.
At this service the large auditorium
was filled testifying
to the esteem in which she was held
by the citizenship of
Wauseon.
Delilah Korn was
born near Millersurg, Holmes County, Ohio,
May 20, 1830 and died
at her home in Wauseon, Ohio, December
12, 1910 aged 80 years,
6 months, 22 days.
On March 27, 1856
she was united in marriage to Charles W.
Cornell. To this union
were born seven children, three of whom
have passed away leaving
four that still survive. The living
chlidren are: Mrs. Emily
Hendicks, of Toledo; W.E.Cornell of
wauseon; Miss Luella Cornell
of Seattle, Washington; and
Mrs. Libbie Leu of Wauseon.
Soon after her
marriage she came with her husband to Wauseon
and lived here till the
time of her death and saw the town
grow from a little village
to its present size.
