   George W. Corn, farmer, of Valley Center, Sedgwick county, Kansas, was born
September 8, 1856, in Mercer county, Kentucky. His parents were Timothy and
Rachel (Yates) Corn, both natives of Kentucky. The parents of George W. after
the war moved to Clark county, Indiana, where they remained six years, and then
came to Kansas the year after the "grasshopper" scourge. The parents came to
Kansas with a family of nine children, of which George W. was the second born.
The father afterwards moved to Butler county, Kansas, and remained there until
his death, on February 22, 1891. He was a farmer, an upright citizen, and a
faithful member of the Methodist Episcopal church. George W. Corn was deprived
of an early education and training, but notwithstanding this deprivation, he is
a well-to-do and practical farmer. By industry and economy he bought a farm in
Section 28, Valley Center township, on which he now resides. Mr. Corn was
married on July 10, 1880, to Miss Mary Murphy, a daughter of John Murphy, of
Illinois. Five children have been born of this union, viz.: Bertha, Nellie,
Clarence, Minnie and Alva. Fraternally, Mr. Corn is a member of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows, Sedgwick Lodge, No. 177, the Modern Woodmen of America,
and the Rebeccas. Politically, he is a Democrat.
