Bro. Whiting Cornish was born in Berkshire, Mass., May 18, 1784, and died in the Lord, in Greene, N.Y., March 15, 1876.
Brother Cornish emigrated to Coventry, N.Y., in 1808. He was converted to God when about thirty or thirty-one years of age. His house was the home of Methodist preachers for many years. Having a great taste for music, he became chorister of the Church at Coventry. He also served the Church in the capacity of steward and sexton, and was faithful in all these relations. Brother Cornish lived his religion and in the latter years of his life read the Bible a great deal. He was gathered in like a shock of corn fully ripe - ripe in years and in grace. His last quotation of Scripture was, "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God." He leaves behind to mourn his loss, one son and six daughters, one of whom is the wife of the Rev. L. Hartsough.

John and George were each married, but I'm not really sure I have the right names of their wives, so I'd rather not send them.
