Cornelius, veteran Milwaukee railroad passenger conductor, and a familiar figure in Marion for many years, died Monday morning in a Cedar Rapids hospital, after vain surgical efforts to save his life. He had been in failing health for some time, and seriously ill for two months. He was born in Pennsylvania March 11, 1864, the son of Samuel and Mary Troxel Cornelius. He started work for the Milauwkee railroad in Illinois at the age of 17, and at twenty was promoted to be a freight conductor, his stalwart physique, helping him to get away with a man's job. In 1892 he became a passenger conductor, first having a Chicago run, but for more than a quarter century he has had the run between Marion and Omaha, which gave him time to be actively interested in Marion men and affairs. His friends were legion, all finding it easty to get underneath his pretended rough exterior. He belonged to the Order of Railway Conductors and acted as local secretary. He also belonged to the Knights of Pythias. At Mt. Carroll, Ill., on January 29, 1890, he was married to Miss Julia Pierce, who, together with four children, survive. They are Chester Cornelius, Cedar Rapids; Dr. Frank Cornelius, Bowman, N.D.; Mrs. William Block of Seattle, and Mrs. Leta Marchant of Marion. A largely attended funeral service was held Wednesday afternoon from the Yocom chapel, Rev. E.T. Gough, pastor of the M.E. church, in charge. Burial was in Oak Shade cemetery.
