Cornwell, who died on the 24th inst. of a severe attack of fever after an illness of 16 days. The deceased was a native of Pickens County, South Carolina and came to this county with his parents when a boy in 1866. They lived many years in and near Butler and by his good, straight forward conduct had made many friends. His mother who lived at Sweetwater, Nolan county, with two married daughters was telegraphed for to see him, but did not arrive until the day after he died. His remains were interred in the Mayes burying ground near Butler. *** Note: I did not find Charles E. Cornwell listed in Mayes Cem. in Freestone Co. History Book II.
