Corfe in the 1911 book Past and Present of Hardin County Iowa, pages 708-709: Among the residents of Hardin county who have forged to the front through their own efforts, and while advancing their own interests have not neglected the larger duties of citizenship, is William H. Corfe, the well known and popular druggist at the village of Union. Mr. Corfe was born January 25, 1867, at Mt. Sterling, Wisconsin. He is the son of Dr. Frederick and Eliza (Tisdale) Corfe, the father a native of England and the mother of Wisconsin. Doctor Corfe grew to maturity and was educated in England, emigrating to the United States when twenty-one years of age. He became prominent as a physician and surgeon and during the war between the states he served the Union cause three years in the First Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry. He came to Union, Iowa, in the spring of 1880 and soon became one of the leading physicians of Hardin county, and he remained here until his death, in 1934, at the age of sixty-nine years. He is buried in Union cemetery. His wife preceded him to the grave in 1900, dying at the age of fifty-two years. Doctor Corfe was a member of the Masonic order and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, both of Union, and he was a member of the Congregational church. He was a man of strong characteristics, honest and genial. His family consisted of the following children: Hattie, deceased; two children died in infancy; William H., of this review; Edward A. lives at Union. The early education of William H. Corfe was obtained in the schools of Wisconsin and Iowa. Early in life he determined upon a career as druggist and in order to prepare himself entered a school of pharmacy, from which he was graduated on March 6, 1903, and soon afterward he started in the drug business at Union, Hardin county, where he has maintained a well patronized, attractive and carefully stocked store to the present time, enjoying an extensive and liberal trade with the surrounding community, his ever increasing customers comng from remote sections of the county, for here they know they will find courteous and honest treatment. Mr. Corfe was married on November 11, 1897, to Hester A. Holmes, daughter of Joseph Holmes, a native of England and the mother of the state of New York, the latter's family name being Dean.
