Name of Deceased: CORDER, MARY EVERLY
Name of Newspaper: The Girard Gazette
Date of Obituary: February 2, 1928 
Obituary: Mary Corder was born March 22, 1847 in Clinton County, Illinois. She
was left an orphan when a little girl and grew to womanhood in Macoupin county.
Her girl- hood and young-woman-hood days were spent in the community of
Chapman Point. She was united in marriage to M.W. Corder in 1868 and to this
union were given 3 sons and two daughters: The two sons, Everett and Luther 
survive, Jesse having died at an early age, the daugther, Viola and Clarissa survive
and all of the children live in Girard. She leaves two grandsons, Calvin Stone of 
St. Louis and Eugene Stone of Chicago. Mrs. Corder was a member of the Baptist
Church for over 50 years. Her husband M.W. Corder preceded her in death by
13 years. She departed this life January 30, 1928 being 80 years, 10 months, and
8 days of age. Mrs. Corder represented and typfied in her religious thinking an
living the Old School Theology. To her mind right is always right and wrong is 
always wrong and there ought not to be any thought of compromise betweent
the two. She delighted in the pungent statements of truth by Rev. William Sunday
and one of the last hours in her long, active, and useful life was spent in reading
on of his recent sermons.
