Silas Cornell was in active business as Surveyor and Civil Engineer, and active also in all the affairs of the Society of Friends. He usually attended the Yearly Meeting in New York, in the Spring, and the "Representatives Meeting" every December. He died of Erysipelas, which first appeared in the hand, after a week's illness.
Sarah M Cornell was thus left with her eldest daughter, Anna M C Barnes, who had made her home with her parents after her husband's death in 1848. In response to the urgent invitation of her youngest daughter, Sarah Alice Walbridge and her husband, Sarah M Cornell and her eldest daughter visited Toledo, intending only a temporary stay, but they were never separated again while they lived. Ebenezer Walbridge was in very active and very prosperous business, and for business reasons removed, with all the family, to Chicago, in 1866. In 1867 he found his health giving way under the strain of overwork and they came east for a change, and he died in New York, in March, 1868, leaving his family in good circumstances, with large interest at Toledo. They concluded, however, to make their home at Yonkers, and Sarah M. Cornell, died there in March, 1872, just before the family removed into the handsome stone house S. Alice Walbridge built at Mr. St. Vincent, adjoining her brother's. S. Alice Walbridge herself, died less than three years later, leaving her sister and her three boys in the house. In 1878 Anna M. C. Barnes removed with the boys to Toledo where their property was chiefly situated and where they have ever since made their homes." (*)
