Additional Comments:
William McCorkle moved to Shelby County from Pennsyslvania with his brother Cyrus
in 
the mid 1870s. His wife, the late Emma Heisey, had preceeded him in death in 1912

when the will was written, and one of his two daughters, Alice, had not yet
married. 
Although Emma and some of their infant children were buried in the Angel Street 
cemeter, it is unclear where William was buried. His son Uriah (mostly known as
Riley) 
pastored two "Dunkard" Churches, and is remembered by many current residents of 
Shelby and Darke Counties.  William died about 1922.
