Notes for J
OSEPH W. CORDNER:
HISTORY OF COLUMBUS, FRANKLIN COUNTY, OHIO P830 JOSEPH W. CORDNER :
"In all those qualities which constitute admirable manhood Joseph W. Cordner is richly endowed. A loyal defender of the Uniojh, astraightforward, energetic business man, a progressive citizen and a faitful representative of the religious development of the city, he is neglectful of no duty and his enterprising loyalty in every relation has gained him the respect and honor of all who know him. He was born in Belmont county, Ohio, September 12, 1843, a son of John and Elizabeth (Chadwick) Cordner. The father was a native of the north of Ireland, and spent the first eighteen years of his life in the land of his nativity, after which he came to the new world, attracted by the opportunities that this country offered. Establishing his home in Ohio, he became connected with the wool business and for some time owned and operated a woolen mill. He was a man of energy and determination who successfully conducted his business affairs. He lived for a brief period in Jefferson County, Ohio, and in 1826 removed to Belmont County, whre he remained until his death.
PAGE 831 "It was in that locality that Joseph W. Cordner was born and reared. The common schools afforded him his educational privileges and he received practical business training under the direction of his father, whom he assisted in the conduct of the woolen Mill. He was scarcely more than a boy in years when he responded to the country's call for troops, enlisting as a private in Company K, Fifteenth Regiment of Ohio Infantry. His loyalty anbd meritorious conductg on the field of battle led to his promtion and he bacame orderly sergeant of the company. In 1864 age 21 he reenlisted and served altogether for four years and seven months. He fought with the department of the Ohio and the Army of the Cumberland, participating in engagements under the command of General Sherman and General Buell. The latter was succeeded by General Rosecrans and the army was then reorganized. He took part in the battles of Shiloh, Perryville and Franklin, and was twice wounded but did not leave the field. His service was largely in the Mississippi Valley and on the field of battle he dispalyed valor and bravery equal to that of many a veteran of twice his years. He never faltered in the performance of any duty and faithfuly espoused the cause which he was pledged to defend. When the war was over he returned home with a most creditable military record and removed to Columbus, influenced by the fact that his brother-in-law, the late Alfred Powell, was a resident of this city. After being engaged in the lumber business for a few years he established businness for the dyeing and renovating of garments, locating at Gay, near Fourth Street. It was one of the first establishements of this chatacter and is still in existence, having been profitably conducted from the beginning. \
      Mr Cordner is a stawart republican in his political views, casting his first presidential vote for Abraham Lincoln and has since supported that party.He held the position of County Clerk but resigned in order to move to Columbus. He is always interested in state and national affairs as well as in local politics and has ever kept well informed on the questions and issues of the day, being able to support his position by intellihgent argument. He has ever retained a deep interest in his old army comrades and held membership in the McCoy Post, No.1, of the Grand Army of the Republic, and in the Union Veteran Legion, Camp No. 78, holding at one time the office of lieutenant colonel in the latter order. He is also an honorary member of the old Guard and was active in pioneer associations. He is fond of music and was organizer of a quartette composed originally of soldiers who had served for four years. This organization has continued its existence to the presnt time. While intested in military, political and social interests, Mr Cordner is never neglectful of his re3ligious duties, but on the contrary is a helpful and earnest member of the Church of Christ. He was originally a member of the Third Street, but now of the Broad Street Church. He has assisted in Building five different houses of worship and has been almost continously in some official position in the church, holding nearly all of its offices. His life is al all times and under all conditions honorable and upright.
In 1868, in Belmont County, Ohio, Mr. Cordner was married rto Miss Anna E. Carpenter, of that comity, a daughter of Jonathan Carpenter, who was a farmer by occupation. Unto Mr. and Mrs. Cordner were born six children, four who are yet living: Hatte L; Carroll R, who is married and is living in Middletown, Ohio; Catherine, wife of Logan Feeland, who is captain of the Minnesota, one of the nation's battle ships; and Hazel, at home.
