Obituary taken from "Prince William County Virginia 1900-1930 Obituaries" by Ronald Ray Turner.
Nimrod Cornwell--26 January 1912 Manassas Journal--Mr. Nimrod Cornwell, a prominent and widely known citizen of this county, was stricken with paralysis at his home, near Token, shortly after retiring on Sunday evening, which resulted in his death at about 11 o'clock on Monday morning.
Mr. Cornwell retired at a rather early hour on Sunday evening, in apparently the best of health and spirits, jocularly remarking to the members of his household that he would expect them to rise early on Monday, inasmuch as he had planned a heavy day's work for them. Between 8 and 9 o'clock the fatal stroke seized him and he gradually sank until the death summons came. He was 68 years of age.
The deceased was a man of good business qualifications, of character. For a number of years he had conducted a general store and a large lumber business in his section, and was known as a sympathetic neighbor, who was ever a freind to the needy and distressed, and who wielded an influence for good over the community, where he leaves many sincere friends who have been saddened by his death. He was a consistent member of the Baptist church at Woodbine.
He is survived by his wife, five brothers and two sisters, all of Prince William.
His funeral took place at his late residence at 1:30 o'clock on Wednesday, Rev. T. W. T. Noland officiating. The burial was in the family burying ground on the old home place.
