Obituary: Merida W. CORDER, familiarly known about the square as "Row," died at his home in the east part of this city, Wednesday evening, April 21st. His death being due to heart failure. Mr. CORDER was the eldest son of Joseph and Nellie CORDER, and was born in Hart county, Kentucky, on May 5th, 1844, and lacked only a few days of being 71 years old at the time of his death. At the age of five years, he moved with his parents to Illinois locating in Macoupin county, and resided in North and South Otter townships, west of Girard, where he was engaged in farming. His old papers contained documents that show that he served in various official capacities in those townships. In 1868 he was united in marriage at Greenfield, Illinois., to Miss Mary EBERELE, of Bond county. To this union were born five children, namely, Everett, Luther and Mrs. Viola STONE, of this city and Mrs. Clarissa FLEMMING of Auburn. Another son Jesse, dying in infancy. Besides his wife and children he is survived by three brothers, Henry M. of Lawrence, Kansas and James and John on Nilwood; also two sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth TRIMBLE of Pawnee, Oklahoma, and Mrs. Lydia ASHLOCK, of Morrison, Oklahoma. After a number of years on the farm west of this city, Mr. CORDER moved to this city and engaged in the drayage and transfer business, which he conducted for the past twenty-four years, selling out his business last September on account of his failing health. Since his retirement he has been spending his time visiting with old friends, of which he had a great number, having been a resident of the county since 1849 and of this city for twenty-five years, naturally making his acquaintance among the older residents very large, throughout the county. The funeral services were conducted at the residence at 2:30 o'clock, Friday afternoon, by Rev. F.W. CLIFFE, pastor of the Baptist Church, and interment made in the Girard Cemetery. E.W. PARKS had charge of the funeral.
