Honorable Erasmus M. Correll
Well Known Nebraska Politician Dies at Hebron
Special Dispatch to the World-Herald
Hebron, Neb., Sept. 5
After an illness of eight months Hon. E. M. Correll, editor and proprietor of the Hebron Journal, died this afternoon at 4 o'clock.
Mr. Correll was a prominent republican, being elected to the lower house in 1881, and at once became a conspicuous member. He was elected state senator in 1892 and was president of the senate in 1893. He acted as governor for two days in August of the same year while Governor Crounse and Lieutenant Governor Majors were absent from the state.
The Masons will conduct the funeral on Saturday.
Hon. Erasmus M. Correll was born in Canada August 4, 1846. His parents were citizens of the state of New York, near Buffalo, but were on a visit to that portion of the queen's dominion when Correll was born.
When young he removed to Illinois with his parents, from which state in 1852 they proceeded to California, returning in 1853 to Rockford, Ill.
In 1865 he attended Eureka College, where he studied civil engineering and surveying under Major R. Remington, and came to Thayer County, Nebraska, in 1869, in the capacity of surveyor.
Mr. Correll is the father of the press of Thayer County, having started the Hebron Journal in 1871, when there were about three houses in the town. He edited the paper up to the date of his death, and it was one of the most aggressive, ably edited publications in Nebraska.
He studied law in 1871 and 1872 while justice of the peace, and was admitted to the bar in 1873.
He also established the Western Woman's Journal at Lincoln, which won a national reputation. It did much for the woman's suffrage cause.
He was the author and champion of a bill to submit a woman's suffrage amendment to the constitution.
At its annual meeting in October, 1881, at Louisville, Ky., the American Woman's Suffrage Association elected him president. He was also elected president of the Nebraska Editorial Association in the same year.
