Thanks, John for your reply to my query. Actually Corns' first wife was named Mary Ellen GLASGOW of the Antis township, Blair Co., PA GLASGOW family. I have copies of both her obits that ran in the Altoona,PA at the time of her death there in 1915. Very comphrensive obits(names of parents, husband and children and their whereabouts). James' second wife was a Laura HOLLAND whom he married in June 1870 in Hallsville, Harrison Co.,Texas. I have copies of both James M. CORNES obit and Laura HOLLAND CORNES. Which by the way was the way he began spelling his surname after moving to Texas and Louisiana. Anyway, you can reach me directly at jrwest@pdq.net if you are interested in sharing information. Obviously with your last name we must have a connection. Hope to hear back from you. Judy
