Kings County Winter/s', Corkum's & Huntley's
Capt. Joseph Winter/s of Kingsport had a daughter, Ida Matilda Winters who
m/1 William Clare Corkum on 13 Nov 1895, Baptist Church, Blomidon, N.S. This
marriage ended in divorce a few years later with Ida m/2 Ernest Slocum ,
about 1905 in N.Y., a policeman born in New York.
William Clare Corkum was s/o Noble W. Corkum and Maria Ellen Corkum. Noble
dies on 16 May 1902 as per below:
Berwick Register, June 5, 1902
Scott?s Bay.
The death occurred at Scott's Bay on May 16th last of Noble Corkum, aged 53
years. Deceased was born in Pereaux. He was converted eighteen years ago and
joined the Baptist church at that place, of which the Rev. David Freeman
was, at that time pastor. He had for six years been afflicted with asthma
which at last developed into consumption. During the latter part of his
sickness he suffered very much, but bore it all with Christian fortitude.
His daughter Carrie who had been living in Portland, Me., came home April
1st and cared for her father during the remainder of his illness. His son
Burton, who was also in Maine, arrived home only two days before his
father's death. The day before he died he requested the family to sing "Life
is the time to serve the Lord", and "On Christ, the Solid Rock, I Stand". He
listened throughout with rapt attention, murmuring at the close, "Oh, how
blessed!" The funeral took place on Sunday, 18th. The remains were taken
into the church at Scott's Bay, where a touching and impressive service was
conducted by Rev. Allen Corbett. After the sorrowing relatives and friends
had taken their farewell look at the remains, the interment took place in
Scott's Bay cemetery. The funeral was largely attended, more than fifty
carriages following the remains to the church. Deceased leaves a widow, nine
children, and aged father and mother, one sister and five brothers to mourn
their loss. While deepest sympathy is felt for the sorrowing family, we
greatly rejoice with them that his sleep is in God.

Small world; some members of a family didn't travel too far from home while
other members of the same family traveled Stateside!
