He was born in Tuscarawas County, Ohio arriving in Clarksburg in 1859. The subject of this notice in life had endeared himself to all who knew him. In 1842 he embraced religion, and joined the United Brethren Church at Broad Run. His home for many years was a preaching-place in Ohio. He nearly always sustained an official relationship in the church. Truly it could be said of him, he did what he could. Though misfortune was his lot in business, yet few men sacrificed more for the church than Bro. Correll. He was a great worker in the Sunday School. During revivals his voice could be heard above the rest while singing those dear old songs. But he has gone over the river. It was a pleasant gale that wafted him over. Not soon will we forget his last days on this earth. Oh, his exhortations, his cheering words to those who visited him. He leaves a wife, three sons, three brothers, and five sisters to mourn. May heaven bless them." "Obituary" "At his residence, 101 E. Indiana Street, on Wednesday, October 1, 1884, Elder Peter Simmerman died, aged 28 years and 8 months.

"DOCTORS DEBATING" "The Daviess County Medical District Society convened again here Monday March 4. The forenoon session was devoted to the discussion of medical topics in general. At the opening of the afternoon session, Dr. DJ Smith read before the Society a paper on the subject of La Grippe. It was good and reflected much light on our prevailing malady. It elicited much discussion.Dr W L Young followed wit a paper on the subject of Chronic Endometritis which was an able production and reflected credit upon its author. The session was a very interesting and instructive one. The Society adjourned at 5 pm to meet on Tuesday, April 1, with the following program: Treatment of Abortion-Dr A K Lane, discussion opened by Dr WL Young. Cholera Infantum-Dr S D Culmer, opening discussion by Dr D J Smith. This article attested to and submitted by Recording Secretary Dr. S F Harris. (Based on GGUncle Dr. HARRIS' DOB/DOD, this discussion had to take place sometime in the late 1880s or very early 1890s. I find their subject matter a true snapshot of medicine in post Civil War USA) "NEWS" "MAN KNOWN HERE, SON IS ARRESTED" "Jacksonville, FL, March 14- Arthur Vite, son of wealthy steamship Company owner in Bremen, Germany, was arrested here as an undesirable alien.
