  CORRELL DUNLAP learned the art of farming on his father's farm and has ever
  since continued in that independent calling. He is also engaged extensively in
  stock raising and lumbering and owns a fine farm in Hillsgrove township,
  Sullivan County. He was born in Plunkett's Creek township, Lycoming County, Pa.,
  September 1, 1847, and is a son of George Grant and Margaret (Foulcroud) Dunlap.
  
    George Grant Dunlap was born in Newberry, Pa., but moved to Middletown, Pa.,
  where he carried on lumbering; later he followed the same business at Barbara's
  Mills, then Sandy Bottom, Pa. He finally settled on the farm now owned by our
  subject, which then was covered by a dense forest; he cleared a portion of it
  and farming was his principal occupation the remainder of his life. His death
  occurred on April 6, 1870, while his wife departed this life June 13, 1882. They
  were the parents of nine children, who were named as follows: Mary Elizabeth,
  widow of Charles Simon, who now resides at Williamsport, Pa.; Sarah Jane, who
  died in her younger days; Correll, our subject: Henry, died August 15, 1869;
  Benjamin, who wedded Mary Diggins, and they are residents of Hillsgrove
  township; George, died September 1, 1881; Florence, wife of William Montgomery,
  and they live at Laporte, the county seat of Sullivan County; Rosa, who also
  resides at Laporte; and Orella, who died September 15, 1881.
  
    Correll Dunlap worked at gardening at Newberry, Pa., in his early manhood, and
  later he took charge of his father's farm, and, with the exception of two years
  which were spent in a tannery at Proctor, Pa., he has continuously resided on
  the homestead. Our subject is a hard, industrious worker, and his farm, which
  contains eighty acres, ranks among the best farms in Sullivan County.
  
    Mr. Dunlap is a stanch Democrat, firmly supporting the principles as advocated
  by his party, and he has held many township offices. Fraternally he is a member
  of Hillsgrove Lodge, No. 305, I. O. O. F. Religiously he and his wife are
  devoted members of the Baptist Church at Loyalsock, Pa. July 3, 1866, our
  subject was joined in marriage with Mary E. Grier, born in Lycoming County,
  March 14, 1849, and a daughter of John and Mary (Luck) Grier, both now deceased.
  The following children were born to them: William, a farmer, who married Kate
  Hines; Adeline, who died aged six years; George Grant, who resides at Muncy
  Valley, Pa., and married Margaret Snell; Mary Ellen, died aged one year;
  Charles, a farmer residing near our subject, and who wedded Sarah Van Horn;
  Lillian, the wife of Harvey Birdsell; one who died in infancy; and Harry B., who
  is attending school.
