  Harlan Robert Corl CLAY TOWNSHIP Harlan Robert Corl, 82, entered into rest on 
  January 11, 2008, having died unexpectedly while visiting a favorite Friday 
  haunt, the Green Dragon. Born in Clay Township on March 28, 1925, he was the 
  son of the late Frank and Daisy (Hehnly) Corl of Hopeland. "Jinx", as he was 
  known to his co-workers, scouting comrades, and friends, worked for more than 
  30 years with the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, most of those years in the 
  carpenters' shop. He was an accomplished carpenter by trade; he built the home 
  that he lived in his entire adult life in Schoeneck, with his wife, Mary Lou 
  (Hemling) Corl, who passed away 13 years ago. He spent many of his last years 
  building bookcases, picture frames, and birdhouses for family and friends, as 
  woodworking was his hobby. He was a decorated World War II U.S. Navy veteran in 
  the Pacific Theatre and the Aleutian Islands. He was awarded the Pacific 
  Theatre Ribbon with two stars, Good Conduct Ribbon, American Theatre Ribbon, 
  Victory Medal, Philippine Liberation Star, and the Purple Heart. He devoted 
  over 40 years of his life to the scouting movement; he himself was a vigil 
  honor member of the Order of the Arrow; he did a tremendous amount of work 
  assisting the Throwing Bull Tribe, a group of local adult scouters dedicated to 
  improvements at the local scout council camps. In addition, he belonged to the 
  United Steel Workers Union, the Schoeneck Fire Company, and the Reinholds 
  Ambulance Association. An avid coin collector, he thoroughly enjoyed being a 
  member of the Lancaster Red Rose Coin Club. Surviving him are his three 
  children, Terry R. Corl of Ephrata, husband of Cynthia (Bell) Corl, Frances E. 
  Corl of Bethlehem, and Anthony B. Corl of Akron, husband of Beth A. (Good) 
  Corl. In addition, he is survived by his brother Alfred Corl, Akron; and his 
  two sisters, June Knox, Leola, and Neita Messner, Ephrata. Also three 
  grandchildren survive him, Kimberly (Corl) Brickley of Annville, wife of Dale, 
  and Lyndsay and Logan Corl, both children of Anthony and Beth Corl; also a 
  greatgrandchild, Julianna Orner; and three stepgrandchildren, Tina Wojoack, 
  Tammy Bell and Sue Minnich. The funeral will be on Wednesday at 10 a.m. in 
  Mellinger's Evangelical Lutheran Church, 80 Gockley Road, Schoeneck. Interment 
  will follow in Mellinger's Cemetery. There will be viewing on Tuesday from 68 
  p.m. in the Roseboro Funeral Home, 533 Walnut St., Denver, and on Wednesday at 
  the church from 9-10 a.m.
