Cherryvale Republican, Cherryvale, Kansas 16 December 1916, Saturday, Page 5
Obituary
Myron M. Corser was born in Cataraugus County, New York, August 12th, 1843, and died at the home east of this city December 15, 1916, being in his seventy-fourth year. When he was eight years old the family moved to Sycamore, ILL., where he grew to manhood and received his education. In 1862 he enlisted in Company C, 105 Ill. Volunteer Infantry and served to the close of the war. Soon after the war he was married to Mary E. Foster and soon afterward moved to Kansas settling in Bourbon county, near Fort Scott. In the winter of 1870 he took to homestead one mile east of Cherryvale which has since been his home. In 1881 the family moved to Cherryvale where for eighteen years he was engaged in business and contracting. During the residence in this city he took active part in the affairs of the community and served as a member of the city council for several terms. About twenty years ago he moved back to the farm and has engaged in farming ever since. Two years ago he plowed one hundred acres of ground and planted it to wheat. On December 25, 1896 he was married to Caroline Foster. In 1879 he professed conversion and united with the Free Will Baptist Church. For many years he was a member of the Baptist church in this city. He was also a member of the Fraternal Aid and Sons and Daughters of Justice lodges. He was the father of eleven children, four daughters and seven boys, five of whom have passed on. The surviving relatives are a sister living in Oakland, Cal., his wife, the children as follows: James, Harry, Herman, Mrs. Florence Bartmess and Mrs. Jennies Breese of this city, and Forest Corser of Chanute. There are also three step-sons, two of whom live in Illinois and one lives in Arkansas City, Kansas.
The funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at the First Baptist church with Rev. R. W. Shaw officiating and the interment will be the family plot in the carpenter cemetery, northeast of the city. The sympathy of the community goes out to the family in the hour of their bereavement.
