Show H ANOTHER VOID CREATED ssssl IV' u SU(1(lln iUU' unexpected death of "Bishop" B - William H. Cony, which occurred last Tues- H day night, another void is left in the life of the H community. For twenty-five years or more Wil Bj liam H. Corry has been a conspicuous and useful Hf arm of society, both civic and ecclesiastical. As city councilman, bishop, high-councilman and various var-ious other public capacities he has been prominently prominent-ly before the people of the community and the surrounding district. By the very nature of the man he could not help but make a deep impression upon the lives of those with whom he came in contact. con-tact. In business he was ultra conservative, and his well-known proclivities for caution and care have made him sought after in city and corporation corpora-tion affairs. In disposition his tendency was, perhaps, per-haps, nearly the Opposite, and while at times he would lose his equilibrium and do things that he regretted in his calmer moments, he was withal of a kindly and forgiving nature and was always willing to right any wrongs he might have inflict- ad. Of that hardy frontier type of physical man- hood which knew no fatigue, he was indomitable, ad possessed of unfaltering determination.

A giant physically, he never knew a lay's sick-nasi sick-nasi until he was well into the shadow of his prime ! and his taking off was typical of his life, for while his health has been failing of late he was able to go for a jag of wood the day he died, and was ill but a few minutes, falling on his face as he walked from one room to another, and expiring almost immediately. His kindly and sympathetic nature made him j a favorite speaker at funerals of others, and on Innumerable occasions he has spoken words of hope and consolation to the bereaved ones left behind. Today he is the recipient of this kindly' office on the part of others- And such ll life, with ' all its uncertainty. Bishop Corry will be missed in the comunity. He leaves a void, not only in the hearts of his bereaved family, but in the affairs of the comun-, ity as well. He has gone to that land "from whence no traveler returns," and has left his impress for good, far more than for evil, upon the community ! in which he resided practically all his life. |
