Mr. George Cornman, son of Theo. Cornman, esq., died last evening about 10 o'clock at his father's home on North Hanover street (sic), aged 25 years. George was well known among the young men of Carlisle, and the news will be heard with feelings of sympathy and sorrow, as his death has cut him off in his young manhood, when he was full of bright hopes for the future. He was an employe (sic) of George Rhinesmith, tinner, and was a member of the Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows, Gobin Guards, and the Union Fire company. The funeral will take place on Tuesday at 3 p.m.

Death of a Promising Young Man.
All that was mortal of Mr. George U. W. Cornman was laid to rest in the Old Graveyard on Tuesday afternoon. His immortal spirit took its departure from the body on Sunday night at about 10:30 o'clock. Perhaps nobody was better acquainted with the deceased than the writer, and when we look back about two years, and see him full of hope, and every line in his face and every fibre in his body radiant with vitality and the promise of long life and years of usefulness and happiness, we wonder why one so young in years is taken away. But, the messenger of death came, like the thunder-bolt leaping from a cloud in the sky, crashing through the live oak, shivering it to the very earth and blasting its vitality, so he was stricken down in the very prime of life, and in a few hours his brave generous heart ceased to beat, and his life had gone out forever. The announcement of his death came as a clap of thunder from a clear sky, and his friends staggered beneath the blow. His death was the result of consumption. For two long years he has suffered from this dreaded disease. Most of the time he was not able to be out of the house. He enjoyed the high esteem of a large circle of acquaintanceship, and his loss will be deeply mourned. There was not a quality about the young man, socially or morally, but what commanded the highest admiration upon the part of all who knew him. In short he was in every sence (sic) of the term - a gentleman. It seems to us a great mystery that he should be called away in the zenith of his life, just when he was beginning to enjoy the pleasures of this world. But we are so often brought in contact with these mysterious dispensations of an over-ruling Providence, that we bow submissively, and feel that God's way is best, however, inscrutable it may be to finite intelligence. How infinitely greater will be the pleasures he will enjoy in the world of rest he has just entered. Bright prospects were before, and we know they are much brighter now. He was the eldest son of Theo. Cornman, Esq., and was aged twenty-five years. He was buried from his father's residence on North Hanover street (sic). He was a member of the Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, Gobin Guards and Union Fire Company, all of which turned out in a body at his funeral. His remains were interred in the Old Graveyard Tuesday afternoon, and placed by the side of his mother who loved him while living living as only a mother can love a child.
The Shippensburg Chronicle (Shippensburg, PA), Friday, September 4, 1885:
George Cornman, eldest son of Hon. Theo. Cornman, of Carlisle, died on Sunday night, of consumption. He was aged about 26 years, and was well known and universally liked. He was a member of several secret societies.
