Glass, Cornelia (31 May 1851 - 4 Jan. 1926)

Mrs. Cornelia Glass, whose maiden name was Cornelia E. Trumbull, was born at Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin, May 31, 1851. She was married to Louis J. Glass at New Lisbon, Wis., August 26, 1868. In 1870 they moved to Neillsville and this has been the family home ever since. At their home on Court Street, Mrs. Glass passed away on Monday, January 4, 1926, after an illness of one week from heart trouble. Although apparently frail for several years past, Mrs. Glass always brave and hopeful in spirit, remained active and alert, ever cheerful and ready to be of kindly service to all about her. No woman of this city and vicinity ever met with greater courage and fortitude the duties of life than did Mrs. Glass; no one ever brought to those duties and to the service of those about her, both in her own family and among her friends and associates, a finer and kindlier friendliness than she. Mrs. Glass’s memory will long be treasured by her children who have so thoughtfully ministered to her in her declining years, and by the neighbors among whom she has lived so long. She was a charter member of the Woman’s Relief Corps and brought it’s support during many years, all her patriotic energies. In a quiet way she has left upon this community the fine influence of a life of devotion to good things.

Mr. Glass died February 18, 1898, and two son, Elmer and Robert, are deceased. She leaves three sons and two daughters: Fred Glass of Hayward, Wisconsin; Frank of Fargo, North Dakota; and George at home; Mrs. R. W. Thompson, Laura, and Mrs. W. F. Dahnert, Daisy, both of Neillsville. All were home before their mother passed away.

Funeral services were held at the home Thursday, January 7, Rev. S. J. Lambright officiating.

Brief Life History of Oliver S. Trumbull

When Oliver Trumbull was born on 14 January 1769, in Tyringham, Berkshire, Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America, his father, Joel Trumbull, was 26 and his mother, Rhoda Stow, was 27. He married Elizabeth Betsy Griffith (Daughter of Seth Griffith and Mary Westcott) on 18 December 1788, in Smithfield, Madison, New York, United States. They were the parents of at least 4 sons and 5 daughters. He lived in Albany, New York, United States in 1790. He died on 9 March 1856, in Smithfield, Madison, New York, United States, at the age of 87.

The Aylesworth Settlement  had commenced early in New Petersburgh  (Petersburgh was located in the northeast section of Rensselaer County, NY). Jasper Aylesworth, the first settler of Smithfield, arrived in 1795, when he opened a clearing in that area of Peterboro. He had no family, and therefore was the sole inhabitant for a short time.  About 1798, Oliver Trumbull left the Massachuesetts Bay and bought 50 acres a half mile south of Jasper Aylesworth's clearing and his posterity held an honorable position in the growth of this and other towns. Seth Griffin came the same year.. In 1797-'99 came the Bump families made their way there, first Ithamar, and afterwards his father, Ichabod, and his brothers, Moses, Nathan, David, Jonathan, Gideon, Jacob, and a sister, Hannah, wife of Ebenezer Bronson, mother of Hon. Greene C. Bronson. Several of these remained in the town and by their thrifty lives added much to the town's general prosperity; most of them have eventually moved farther west. The only branches of the family who remained in  Smithfield are two grandsons and a granddaughter of Ichabod, Ira and Jeremiah Bump and Mrs. Bush.

 "In 1795, Utica (Old Ft. Schuyler) was the nearest market, and thither through the woods, guided by marked trees to the old Genesee road, the sparse population of all this section of Madison County wended their way to market. At that time John Post, a clever Dutchman, was merchant and postmaster at Utica for all this region, and Jason Parker carried the mail between Albany and Utica. The arrival of half a dozen letters for people of this far off section was a remarkable incident which sometimes happened---as we find indicated by the following advertisement of "Letters remaining in the post office at Fort Schuyler," published in the "Western Sentinel," Sept. 23d, 1795, the oldest issue of that paper known to be extant;---"Jedediah Jackson or Asahel Jackson, Clinton; Stephen Burton, 2, Whitestown; Oliver Trumbull, Fort Schuyler." These men were then or soon after residents of this and adjoining towns.  The Trumbulls and Griffins had families, and all of them located on lot 33, Second Allotment, being the first lot south of No. 26, on which is Peterboro. Aylesworth was unmarried, and came as the hired man of Judge Smith, and in that capacity felled the forest trees on the village plat, then an untouched wilderness which had never before been made to echo to the sound of the axman's blows and the hourly crashing of falling trees. How long he continued in Judge Smith's employ is not known; but at an early day in the history of the town he married a daughter of John Taft, Esq., another early settler who lived in town. Mr. Aylesworth endured the privations incident to the early settlers. On one occasion he brought a five-pail kettle on his back from Utica, to make maple sugar! Some of his first supplies and provisions he brought from Utica in the same manner. He became a permanent resident of the town and was an enterprising and successful farmer. One only, of the large family he reared remains in town." Madison County Directory of 1868 and '69, from the pen of Hon. A. A. Raymond,
