JONATHAN CORY, ESQ.
Page 226

In Mr. Cory we have another illustration of the superiority of practical strong sense, in contrast with the too many instances we meet in the world where a forced education is urged into a small head, and no room to store it. He is a graduate of the noblest of all American Institutions, the common schools, and his own tireless energies. He was born June 13, 1815, in Summerset county, New Jersey, and was admitted to the bar in 1841. In February, 1856, he located in Mason county, and since that time has been a resident thereof. He was married in 1836. Mr. Cory's business abilities are of a high order, consequently his success in life. Though he is past his three score years, he would pass for fifteen less, and enjoys that vigorous health incident to obedience to the laws of nature.
