Ira and Margaret Cornett. She was born in this county Jan. 30, 1843, and died at
her home in Houston Dec. 12, 1920, aged 77 years, 10 months and 12 days. She was
united in marriage to Charles w. Thompson April 7, 1859. to this union six
children were born, four boys and two girls, three of whom, Mrs. Henry Lutes,
Mrs. John M. Bowman and Walter W. Thompson, preceded her to the grave. Her
surviving children are Hamlin F., Charles L., and David W. She is survived by
fourteen grandchildren and fifteen great-grandchildren; also two brothers,
Sherman and William Cornett, of Kansas and one sister, Mrs. Rhoda Lane, of this
place. She became a member of the M.E. church at this place in early life and
remained so until death. Her life was been one of continuous service to her
friends, especially to her grandchildren, who were left homeless while they were
young. Funeral services were held Monday evening at the home conducted by Mrs.
Ida Berry, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Huston cemetery by
the side of her husband.
