CORKHAM.—David Andrew Corkham was born at East Chester, Nova Scotia, Sept. 4, 1854, and died May 2, 1914, at Scotts Bay, Nova Scotia. Brother Corkham was the first convert to present truth in the Maritime Provinces. His conversion was the result of the efforts of Elder J. R. Israel. He at once began to tell others of the message so dear to him, and a short time before his death counted seventy persons who had accepted the truth through his labors. His first wife, Sadie A. Simpson, died in 1891. In 1898 he was married to Nellie A. Brown, who, with their five children, is left to mourn.
