The body of Mr. A.F. Corey, father of Ellis Corey, former President of the 
United States Steel Corporation, who died at his farm near Thorndale, some 
moths ago, and which was taken to Philadelphia and placed in a receiving vault 
awaiting erection by the family of a mausoleum at Northwood Cemetery, this 
place, was on Saturday, brought here for interment.  The remains were brought 
from Philadelphia upon an auto funeral car, accompanied by three auto funeral 
cabs, containing the friends of deceased.  Upon reaching the cemetery the 
coffin containing the remains was carried to the mausoleum and placed upon a 
receptacle.  The vault was sealed.  Considerable difficulty was experienced by 
conveyances in ascending Uwchlan Avenue, which leads to the burying ground, 
owing to deep snowdrifts.  An accident occurred to one of the vehicles which in 
pushing through on of the drifts, slid down an embankment upon the side of the 
road, causing a delay of over two hours before being extricated and able to 
proceed.
