The Ionia Standard, Friday, October 27, 1892

Mrs. Orpha B. Cornell, widow of Thomas Cornell, died at 5:45 p.m. Tuesday.  
Her age was 85, last February.  She retained her faculties to a remarkable 
degree and was strong and vigorous considering her years, up to a few weeks 
before her death.  It was only about two weeks ago that she made a visit to 
friends in Grand Rapids.  Up to an hour or two before her death, she talked 
with interest about family matters, and at last sunk away quietly and without 
pain.  She was one of the early pioneers of Ionia, coming here the same year 
as the Dexter colony, and was widely known and highly esteemed.  She leaves 
four children: Mrs. C. H. Axtell, of Los Angeles, Cal.; Chas. A. Cornell, of 
this city; Albert S. Cornell, of Grand Rapids and Edwin E. Cornell, of 
Washburn, Wis.
