Niday, 82, long time resident of Corydon, died at the home of his son, Kermit, on Thursday, June 21. Mr. Niday was for many years a resident of Corydon and was influential in business, civic and social activities. He was County Superintendent for a number of years and then engaged in the monument business which he conducted for many years. It was during this time that the A. T. Gallagher family came to Corydon, Mr. Gallagher being engaged as a stone cutter for Mr. Niday. After selling the monument business, Mr. Niday moved on a farm near Harvard, where he lived until his retirement, when he moved to Seymour at which place he lived when he died. The following obituary was prepared by the family: Cornelius A. Niday, son of John R. Niday and Evelyn C. Niday, was born in Benton Township eight miles north of Corydon, Feb. 28, 1863, and passed away at the home of his son, Kermit, June 21, 1945, at the age of 82 years, 3 months and 24 days. He grew to manhood in Benton Township receiving his schooling at country school, Corydon High School, Humeston Normal College and Drake University. For the greater part of his manhood he had been a citizen of Corydon and always of Wayne County. He was one of the group who organized the telephone company, donating the lot where the auditorium now stands. Mr. Niday was one of the charter members of the Corydon Christian Church and also served on the building committee. He was appointed County Superintendent of Schools in 1891, which office he held for five years. He published the only education paper ever published in the county, "The Wayne County Teacher" from 1892-1897. He was married June 8, 1892 to Miss Iowa Zern and to this union were born four children, all of whom survive him. They are two daughters, Mrs. Alta Brown of Pasadena, CA., Mrs. Kathryne Avery of Closter, NJ, Zern and Kermit, sons who live with their families six miles west of Seymour. He leaves also 12 grandchildren and great-grandchildren; one sister, Mrs. Margaret Troster of Allerton and one brother, Frank Niday of Corydon. He rendered service to this county and community during the last few years by serving on the Wayne County Draft Board. In the last years he found his greatest joy in the companionship of his family and grandchildren and friends. Thus one of God's gentlemen has finished his task on earth.
