General Notes: Husband - Jesse S. Cornelius
He finished his education at Westfield [Trumbull Co, OH?], and when he was eighteen years old followed gardening for two years as a means for securing a livelihood. Then for several years he boated coal down the Ohio River and beyond on the Father of Waters, making five trips to New Orleans, besides several shorter trips. In 1859 he came to Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, and married.
In 1888, Mr. Cornelius was elected constable and tax collector, and continued in office for over ten years, and he also served as supervisor two years.
He enlisted in August of 1862, in Co. D, 14th Reg. Pa. Vol. Cav., and in the following spring at Harper's Ferry, Virginia, he was thrown from his horse, and his left side sprained very badly, which accident left him in very poor health, and he was never able to do very hard manual labor, or much of it at a time.
He had a nice home at No. 15 Etna Street, New Castle, and other property in other parts of the city. He was a member of the K. of P. Lodge, and filled all of its chairs; he was also a member of the G. A. R. Post, and of the United Workmen, Protected Home Circle, and Junior Order of American Mechanics. His wife was a member of the W. C. T. U., and of the Royal Templars.
