WILLIAM
N. CORNS, of Noble township, is a native of Muskingum
county where he was born July 24, 1851. When a boy of
fourteen, he lived with his parents in Allen county for two
years, but returned to the old home where he lived until he
was nineteen. At that time he went to Caldwell to work
at the carpenter's trade, and remained there for about six
years, when he decided that following the plow was
preferable, and so purchased a farm near Caldwell, making
that his home since. He was married in April, 1871, to
Martha Jane Nesselroad, daughter of John
Nesselroad, an old resident of Noble county.
She died in March, 1895, leaving three sons: Arthur
Elwood, of Pittsburg, Pa.; John N., also of
Pennsylvania; and Archibald Wiley. Mr. Corns
was married a second time to Mrs. Mary Ellen Hutchins,
a daughter of Thomas Wiley, an old resident of Noble
county, and to them one daughter has been born, Gaynell
G.
