  Notes	Cass City Chronicle Friday, November 27, 1931 Page One Deaths Mrs. J.C. Corkins News of the death of Mrs. J.C. Corkins came as a great shock to her many friends and relatives. She passed away at the Morris Hospital early Sunday afternoon after a very short illness. Lena Elizabeth Muck was born at Cass City, July 9, 1883, and spent her entire life in this community. On March 20, 1912, she was united in marriage to John C. Corkins, who remains to mourn her untimely departure, with five children as follows: Maxine Elizabeth, Jack Calvin, Jean Lewis, Hazel Mae and Shirley Leone. Since her marriage to Mrs. Corkins, a widower with three small children of the ages of five and six years, she performed the duties of mother and helped to guide them along life's pathway until they reached the years of their majority and now she leaves them too to mourn their loss. They are: Helen J. Corkins of Detroit, Ivan W. Corkins of Pontiac and Lucile F. Hewens of Ypsilanti. Mrs. Corkins also leaves three sisters, Mrs. W. F. Joos, and Mrs. E.W. Kercher, both of Cass City, and Mrs. R.E. Graham of Caro; also a host of other relatives and friends. Mrs. Corkins was a kind and loving wife and mother and was winning in her ways so that friendship's circle was to her a large one. She was an attendant at the Evangelical church and Sunday School whenever health permitted and was also a member of the Ladies' Aid where she was always a willing worker, and will be greatly missed. Funeral services were held at the home Wednesday afternoon conducted by Rev. C. F. Smith. The bereaved family has the sympathy of the entire community in their great sorrow.
