  J. M. CORNELY, M. D., who is engaged in the practice of medicine at Madera, 
Pa., is a native of this place, born November 12, 1877.  He is a son of James 
and Christina (Bowers) Cornely, the former of whom is now deceased.
  J. M. Cornely was educated in the public schools of Madera and the Lock Haven 
Normal School, spending two years in this institution, after which he became a 
clerk in a general merchandise store at Madera and continued for eighteen 
months.  In the meanwhile he devoted some time to medical study and then entered 
Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, where he was graduated in the class of 
1907.  For one year he practiced in the Williamsport Hospital, where he had wide 
experience, and then returned to his native place and established his office.  
He has built up a substantial practice and enjoys the confidence of the people 
in his professional skill.
  Dr. Cornely was married December 29, 1909, to Miss Blanche Minds, a daughter 
of James H. and Julia Minds, residents of Beulah, Clearfield county, and they 
have one daughter, Margaret.  Dr. and Mrs. Cornely attend the Presbyterian 
church.  Politically he is a Republican and has served one term as town clerk.  
He is identified fraternally with the Masons at Osceola; the L. O. O. M. at 
Houtzdale; and the I. O. R. M., at Madera.
