Death Claims Mrs. Cornwell
Distressing Illness Ends This Morning
Mrs. Mary Hamilton Cornwell, 52, wife of Marvin L. Cornwell, died in Holzer Hospital this morning at 7:55 o'clock. Mrs. Cornwell's distressing illness dated back two years and she reentered the hospital at various times for treatment, but her condition became serious last September and she has been in a critical condition since Christmas.
She was born at Clipper Mills Sept. 14, 1898, to the late Josiah and Rachel Eleanor Rose Hamilton. Mr. Hamilton died in 1927 and her mother died in 1930. Mrs. Cornwell was twice married. Her first husband, Guy R. Landthorn, died in 1926. They were the parents of two children; a daughter, Eleanor Irene, now Mrs. Robert Walker of Newton Falls, survives and a son, Merrill Thomas, died Oct. 22, 1925. On Nov. 20, 1937, she was married to Marvin L. Cornwell by the Rev. Tracy Martindale.
Mrs. Cornwell was a deeply devoted wife and mother and was equally devoted to her three step-children. She had made many friends through her genuine friendliness, her warm personality and hospitable nature. For many years she had been an active member of Ohio Chapel Church serving the church as church organist, past president of the Women's Society for Christian Service, and as secretary of that organization when first taken ill. She was also quite active in the Ohio Valley Grange, having been a trustee when it was first organized. She had been a lecturer since its organization.
In addition to her husband and daughter, Mrs. Walker, already mentioned, the following step-children survive: Robert Cornwell of this city, Mrs. James O'Brien (Roberta), of Pomeroy and Mrs. William Brown (Charlotte) of Clinton, Ky. Also surviving are a sister, Mrs. Robert Featherstone (Eva Hamilton) of Indianapolis, Ind.; and four brothers, James and Charles Hamilton of Gallipolis, Jehu of Westerville and Ray of Indianapolis. Two sisters, Rose and Elizabeth Hamilton and one brother, Dwight, preceded her in death. Seven grandchildren also survive. Funeral services will be held at the C. J. Waugh Funeral Home Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock with the Rev. David Bates officiating. Interment will be made in Mound Hill Cemetery. The body will remain at the Waugh Funeral Home where friends may call after noon Saturday.
