JAMES' FAMILY

CORRELL, Rev. WILLIAM W.—Deep River Twp, Poweshiek County, Iowa —pg 719-20. Section 11, P.O. Deep River.
He was born in Connellsville, Fayette county, Pennsylvania, February 3, 1812. His father being poor he was compelled to work during his boyhood and procure an education as best he could. While living in Higginsport, Ohio, to which place his father moved in 1829, he learned the trade of plastering, and also spent considerable time in flatboating on the Ohio River. He returned to his native place in the summer of 1834, where he married, and remained until he immigrated to this State, on the 14th of November, 1842. He first located in Des Moines county, and in the following November moved to Libertyville, where he entered forty acres of land. Here he lost his first wife. In the fall of 1844 he returned to Des Moines county, locating at Burlington Mission, where he married. In 1853 he moved to his present place.
Mr. Correll married, July 2, 1837, Miss Rosana Gearhart, of Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania. His children by this marriage were: Mary A. (born April 11, 1838, and married to Nicholas Carr, of Montezuma, November 20, 1856), Frances G. (born March 25, 1840, and married George Hollingsworth, of Deep River township, April 27, 1867), John G. (born January 9, 1842, and married Miss Sallie Tout, of Deep River township, in February 18, 1863, who died, and he married again, January 2, 1869, Miss Belle Bower, of Boone county, Iowa), and Helen R. (born November 23, 1843, and died May 15, 1844). Mrs. Correll died November 8, 1844, and Mr. Correll chose for his second wife Elizabeth Smith, of Des Moines county, Iowa.
The result of this union is as follows: Adaline J. (born June 12, 1849, and died January 1, 1863), Elizabeth J. (born May 27, 1852, and married in August of 1872, to John Pine of Iowa county), Martha A. (born January 31, 1855, and married October 22, 1875, to Eugene S. Daly, a minister of the Iowa M.E. Conference), William H. (born February 8, 1857), James R. (born May 27, 1859), Catharine C. (born April 14, 1862) and Josiah C. (born May 10, 1864).
Mr. Correll was licensed to preach by the M.P. Church, Pittsburgh Annual Conference, in Pennsylvania, November 12, 1842, and regularly ordained deacon September 11, 1847, and to elder’s orders September 9, 1852, by the authority of the same church in the Iowa Annual Conference. He was first appointed to Burlington Mission, December 21, 1844, and two years afterward was appointed to serve the church at Oskaloosa, which circumstances compelled him to forego. In 1852 he joined the Iowa Annual Conference, then but recently organized, and was sent to Montezuma Circuit, which then comprised a territory of about twenty miles in all directions from the central point. For this two years of unceasing labors on this circuit he received by $140. He then went to farming, and purchased his present place. Mr. Correll may be properly reckoned among the hard-worked pioneer preachers of the Northwest, often denying himself to prosecute his calling amid the darkest clouds and deepest discouragements. In addition to his labors as a son of toil, often working as a son of the gospel, without hope of compensation."
