James E. Cornell, pioneer resident of Saratoga, died at his home here last Friday morning after having suffered poor health for several years.
Mr. Cornell, 92, was born in Dayton, Ohio, on April 15, 1863. With his wife, Hannah, who survives him, he celebrated his 65th wedding anniversary last April 15. The couple were married in Tecumseh Nebraska in 1890.

In 1906, he homesteaded on the Savery Creek and lived there with his family until 1910 when he returned to Saratoga where he has since made his home. He was employed at team work and with hay crews until his retirement some years ago.
