Corden, at their home on Silver Street, Bow- manville. Many indeed were un- aware o! her il1liess, which of only three weeks duration, proved ' finally to be fatal and closed the earthly span o! a most highly re- spected citizen at the age o! 75. May recalled that only shortly before,' on January 23, Mr. and M r s. Corden celebrated their Golden Wedding and a host of friends and relatives gathered to pay their respects. Vivacious and graceful, apparently in the best o! health, at that time Mrs. Cor- den was the lifeof the party. Now suddenly, she is gone and is mourned by husband, children, grandchildren, and indeed the whole community. Adelin Corden was born in Hope Township, Oct. 4, 1869, ' ~' daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. > William Williams. She lived with her parents in Clarke Township until her marriage to Mr. G. A.
