WILLIAM HENRY CORLE

A native of Bedford county who for the past fifty-five years had been 
cashier of the Joseph Horne & Co. store in Pittsburgh and the oldest 
employe of the firm in point of service, died at the Fort Bedford inn 
yesterday morning after a short illness.  He was born Sept. 25, 1856, 
at Charlesville, Bedford county, and went to Pittsburgh as a young man.  
He was employed by Joseph Horne, the founder of the firm, as cashier 
for the wholesale units of the company, and served in that capacity for 
a number of years, later becoming cashier in the Pittsburgh retail 
store.  Surviving are one brother, John I. Corle, and one half-sister, 
Mrs. Ross Lysinger, both of Bedford.  Funeral services will be held 
tomorrow afternoon at the late home of a sister, Mrs. John O. Smith, 
who died short time ago, with whom he had spent his vacation each 
summer.  Interment will be made at Bedford.
