ELMER A. CORDERMAN, widely known retired business man, died suddenly at his home, 1031 Potomac Avenue, Thursday evening, aged 76 years.
Mr. Corderman had a wide range of business interests, extending back to the turn of the century. He operated a widely known livery stable in the early part of the century, later opening a garage on West Antietam Street when the automobile replaced the horse as the most popular means of city transportation. He also was active in real estate transactions in this city until recently.
The Great Hagerstown Fair was another of Mr. Corderman's interests. He served as director for many years, and had charge of the poultry department over a long span of time. He also served for a time as a director of the Rose Hill Cemetery Company.
Mr. Corderman liked to recall that he was a key figure in one sense when the Washington County Free Library introduced book wagon service to the nation. His livery stable provided the horse that drew the pioneer book wagon over the county's rough dirt roads, nearly a half century ago.
He was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church, the Martin Luther Bible Class, and the Pioneer Hook and Ladder Company.
Surviving are brother, Luther H. Corderman; sisters, Mrs. Arthur Herbert and Mrs. Elmer Durbin.
The funeral was held at the residence; interment was in Rose Hill Cemetery; arrangements by the Minnich Funeral Home.
