   THEODORE CORNELL, farmer, P.O. Holland, was born in 
Northampton township, Bucks county, February 28, 1840, in a 
house which stood on the site of his present residence, his 
parents being James C. and Judith S. (Everett) Cornell. 
James C. was reared on the old Cornell homestead, and became 
one of the most successful farmers of Bucks county. He was 
one of the organizers of the Bucks County Agricultural 
society, and was its president for a number of years. He 
kept a large dairy, and was widely known for his success in 
farm management. He died February 1, 1865. His widow 
survived until 1879. They are buried at the cemetery at 
Richboro. Theodore was reared at the place where he now 
resides. He was educated in the neighboring schools, and was 
married, February 20, 1867, to Anna Buckman, of Middletown 
township, daughter of Levi Buckman. Mr. and Mrs. Cornell 
were the parents of three children, one of whom, Walter L., 
died in infancy. Those living are Eva B. and James Russell, 
the latter of whom is attending Swarthmore college. Mr. 
Cornell is a member of the Newtown Lodge A.Y.M. He erected 
his present residence in 1885, and $15,000 would not 
duplicate it.
