David Corey was born in Sussex county, N. J., April 25, 1825; came to Bradford county, Pa., with his father's family in 1838; married Miss Mary Jane Bowman in 1860, built and settled for life at Aspinwall. He was blessed with a family of five sons and two daughters; one son died in infancy, the remainder are living. He had three brothers, one of whom, George R., is still residing in Wells. Of four sisters, the only one remaining is Mrs. Ruhama Brown, of Aspinwall. His loved companion passed from earth in 1876, since which time he has been an invalid, suffering extremely with a chronic rheumatic difficulty beyond remedy. In early manhood Mr. Corey obtained a hope in Christ, received baptism, and has ever since lived a consistent christian life beyond men. Although not a member of any particular branch of Zion, he was a warm friend and liberal supporter of the Presbyterian church at home, where he will be greatly missed, as well as in the family and the entire community. Sabbath evening, September 7, 1890, this patient sufferer, while cheerfully counselling his children and friends, sweetly fell on sleep in Jesus, aged sixty-five. "We a little longer wait. Yet how little none may know." On Tuesday a large concourse sympathized in the services at Aspinwall, which were conducted by Rev. H. Armstrong and Father Jewell (The Troy Register, Troy, Pennsylvania, Saturday, September 13, 1890).
CORY. - The death of David Cory, Sr., occurred on the 7th instant, at 5:20 p.m., at his home in Aspinwall. For the past fifteen years he had been a great sufferer with inflammatory rheumatism, and his suffering for the greater part of that time had been very severe, culminating in the last severe attack. He was born near Branchville, N.J., April 25, 1825, where he resided with his parents, William and Eliza Cory, until 1838, when they came to Apsinwall, traveling seven days in a wagon to reach what was then a new country. They lived on the farm now owned by George R. Cory, where his younger days were spent until his marriage with Mary J. Bowman, daughter of Andrew P. Bowman of Wells. He them removed to the Judson Hill farm, living there until 1862, then again changing his residence to the farm occupied by him at the time of his death. His wife died August 17, 1876, leaving six children to his care. To them he had indeed been father and mother; he will be missed among the pioneers of the town; among the farmers, and more than all, in his home by the children, who looked upon him as the dearest of fathers. His life has been a busy and useful one - his industry alone brought him the property which he has accumulated, and he had reason to look with pride upon the return of his labors. He at all times had taken a prominent and active part in the public affairs of the town, and was universally liked as a neighbor and a man. Men who stand as he stood in the place of his adoption, can illy be spared (undated obituary from scrapbook collection).
