Along toward midnight he became so much worse that a physician was called. His disease was soon discovered to be strangulation of the bowels and there were grave apprehensions that he would not be strong enough to withstand the affliction, the nature of which is always very dangerous. He grew worse from day to day until just before three o'clock yesterday when, surrounded by his family, death relieved him of his suffering. Cornelius HECTOR was born in New York state, March 18, 1816. When a small boy his parents came west to Ohio where Cornelius obtained a good education, taught school and learned the mason's trade. In 1844 he turned his attention to the study of medicine and two years later graduated from the Eclectic Medical Institute at Cincinnati. He commenced the practice in Ohio but came to Gilead in Miami county in 1854 and from there, in 1868, to Rochester where he followed the practice of his profession until his death. Dr. Hector was first married to Jemima HORNIDAY in 1835, who died in 1848, three children, all of whom are dead, having been born to this union. In 1850 he married Mary J. McKIM, at Spartansburg, Ind., and she survives. To this union five children were born as follows: Mrs. Edward HORTON, of Bluffton; Mrs. Chas. B. MOORE, Dr. Frank HECTOR, the eye and ear specialist; Dr. William HECTOR, of Chicago; and Laura J. [HECTOR] who died at the age of 9 years in 1862. The deceased was a man of great activity in his younger years. He was a member of both State and National Eclectic Medical Associations and was at one time honored with the presidency of the State Association. He accumulated property as well as friends and leaves not only the legacy of an honest father to his posterity, but an estate of considerable proportions. He was a Mason for many years and an enthusiastic member of the Methodist church since 1838. He was a man of broad culture and jovial disposition and his genial characteristics and entertaining conversational powers made his company always pleasant, as well as profitable, and none enjoyed the good fellowship of men better than he. The funeral service will be held at the family residence, on Madison street, tomorrow afternoon at 2:30, conducted by Rev. Dr. BROOKE, and burial will take place at Odd Fellows cemetery. And the friends wishing to view the remains, will have an opportunity to do so from 9 to 12 o'clock tomorrow. SOURCE: Fulton County Indiana Obits/Biogs - 1896-1900 by Wendell C. Tombaugh
