Obituary from The Adair County News, Dec 14, 1910, pg 5:

Mr. Cornelius Blankenship, who was known by many of the Russell Co. people, died Nov. 17th. He was 83 years, 10 months, and 14 days old. He had been confined to his bed since near the first of July and was a patient sufferer, but was perfectly willing to die.

He was a good christian gentleman, always having a welcome word for every one. The funeral was held at the home Nov. 18th, two and one half miles S.W. of Belle Plaine, and the remains were laid to rest in the Lawless grave yard.
