The Ionia Daily Sentinel-Standard, Monday, January 8, 1934
Frances S. Cornell, 85, of 630 West Lincoln avenue, died at her home late 
Sunday, after a sickness of two weeks.  In March 1932 she fell and seriously 
injured herself and since then she has been confined to her home.  She was the 
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Freedom Gates, pioneers of Ionia county.

Mrs. Cornell has lived in Ionia practically all her life, was the oldest 
living member of the Baptist church and always a loyal member until her fall 
which kept her away.  She was a member of the Women’s Relief corps.  She 
married Lucian Cornell, whose parents were Mr. and Mrs. Alanson Cornell.  His 
uncle, Alfred Cornell, was pastor of the first Baptist church in Ionia in 1848 
and again in 1865.  Lucian Cornell for many years owned and operated a dry 
goods store in the building which he later sold to H. E. Bergy.  Mrs. Cornell 
was survived by four children, Mrs. D. L. VanAuken and Mrs. B. L. Berry, both 
of Lansing, Mrs. W. A. Laurie, of Detroit, and Arthur Cornell, of Ionia, five 
grandchildren and three great grandchildren.  The funeral services will be 
held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o’clock from the home.  Rev. F. J. Fitch will 
conduct the services.  The burial will be in the family lot in Oak Hill 
cemetery.
