Sibyl Cornell was born (in March 1900) and raised in Argyle, Washington County NY; the daughter of Dewey and Julia (Fowler) Cornell. At some point, she may have moved in with her aunt and uncle, Seymour and Ruby (Fowler) Martindale of Dayton (ca 1910-1950 period). Later, Sibyl moved back to the Argyle area, and was a nurse at Glens Falls Hospital (Warren Co.) up to the time of her death, tragically of drowning on Aug. 10, 1926. She was only 26 years old. Sibyl's obituary mentions that she graduated from "Great Valley High School", possibly in 1918 (the 1917 to 1919 period). Does anyone have any records of a Great Valley Hugh School? I noticed from Cattaraugus County information that there is no such high school today. I am ultimately trying to find a photograph of Sibyl (my mom's aunt) as none are known by my family to exist. Sibyl's uncle Seymour Martindale is listed in info that I have as being a Supervisor of the Town of Great Valley, ca 1940s? (I don't know the exact time frame). I am related to Ruby (Fowler) Martindale and Sibyl Cornell through our common ancestors, David Doane Fowler and his wife Abbie (Niles) Fowler. I would love to hear from anyone who might have information on the people I have described. Thank you Mike Huggins Irvine, CA
