• Notes

  Published in the Lititz (PA) Record, Friday, 14 Nov 1879, pg. 3, col. 4. "OBITUARY - It is with deep regret that we chronicle the death of Jacob Corell, youngest son of Julius F. and the late Sarah Sturgis. He was taken suddenly ill with diphtheria and was sick about one week, sinking gradually until Sunday noon, when death ended his suffering. This is a peculiarly distressing bereavement; not simply was Correll a child, but he was one of more than ordinary attraction and endowment. He was bright and quick in intellect, ever ready to speak to all whom he met. Everybody appeared to like him and his father took a great deal of interest in promoting his happiness. No matter where he went, Corell was nearly always by his side, smiling and asking for information as they moved along the streets. Shortly before his death, he frequently alluded to his deceased mother, expressed a desire to meet her in heaven, and wondered whether he too would be an angel. We extend earnest sympathy and condolence to the relatives bereft of so cheerful and promising a child. His age was 7 years, 3 months, and 11 days. He was interred in the Evangelical cemetery at this place on Tuesday last."
