General Notes: Husband - John McCorkle

---

He was born in Adams County, Pennsylvania, and removed when quite young with his parents to Washington County, where he was reared and educated. He was an active and progressive citizen. Politically he was a Democrat, and religiously a ruling elder in the U. P. Church until his death.

He and his wife were both members of the Associate Reformed Church of West Middletown, in which he was a ruling elder. He held various offices of trust, and was a man of more than ordinary executive ability and intelligence, serving as county supervisor, school director and as executor, administrator and guardian for many estates. It was through his persistent efforts that the post-office, Woodrow, in Cross Creek township, was established. He was a member of an old militia company.
