Sarah Esther Strohm Cornwell, daughter of Henry T. and Mary Elizabeth Spangler Strohm was born in Darwin Township January 31, 1906 and departed this life on September 1982.
Esther married Charles Wesley Cornwell on March 24, 1936. He preceded her in death on December 10, 1959. They leave four children, Mrs. Reta Jean Cutrell, Wapato, Washington, Carol Ann Cornwell and Lowell Cornwell of Melrose and Hilda Faye Cornwell of Paris, Ill. She also leaves four grandchildren, Charles and Steven Cutrell, Rene Singleterry, and Welsey Cornwell. She has two great grandchildren, Gerald Thomas and Jessica. Also surviving are three sisters-in-law, Erma Mattie and Kathryn as well as many relatives and friends.
Esther was a loving mother and a good neighbor who will be greatly missed by all.
Esther spent her lifetime in the West Union and Melrose communities. Much of her adult life was spent accomodating the public as a clerk in Marvin's Store and the Cornwell's Dry Goods and Grocery stores. Besides that she was always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need.
She accepted Christ at an early age and at the time of her death was a faithful member of the Melrose Church of God.
Grandma Cornwell
G is for Generous In my time of need
R is for Religious In God she believed
A is for Always she will be in my heart
N is for Never we will never be apart
D if for Dear to all people that were near
M is for Memories she left all of us hers
A is for Assurance about heaven above
C is for Christ Grandma truly did love
This is about Grandma Cornwell.
And all the words add up to swell
