WILLIAM CORNETT'S AND MARY EVERAGE'S COURTSHIP

During the last few years of William Cornett's first wife's life Mary Everage lived near their home with her two little girls. She was a very industrious and was always ready and willing to help Mrs. Cornett with her work, so they became good friends. When Mrs. Cornett became sick (which was unto death) Mary Everage stayed with her and cared for her all the time that she could. After Mrs. Cornett had been sick for some time she decided that she could never recover so one day she called her husband to her bedside and said to him: "Billie, it looks like I am going to die. When I am gone, you will have a hard time raising the children by yourself. I think that it would be well for you to get you another wife to help you raise them. Mary Everage is a good woman and would make you a good wife; you and her could raise your children up together and get along all right. I think it would be the best for you." Billie Cornett could not speak for some time. Finally, he said, "Rhoda, I don't think that I will ever want another wife. I cannot consider that now." She said, "Well I think that it would be well for you to consider it." It was not long after her death that Billie Cornett began to see the need of a mother's hand; there was no one to cook his meals, no one to take care of the children while he was working in the field or out hunting, no one to wash their clothes or clean the house; he felt that life was not worth living under such circumstances though he was determined not to marry anymore. One Saturday morning Mary Everage learned that Billie Cornett was compelled to be away from home that day on particular business and would be gone all day, leaving the children to take care of the same; so she decided to take her two little girls and go up to his home and stay with his children that day. When she arrived at the house, she readily saw that Billie Cornett was a bad housekeeper, so she began to work, the larger children helping her; by late evening she had cleaned the house, washed the children's clothes and had everything looking like it did in Rhoda Cornett's days when she was able to work. She ironed the children's clothes and had them to wash themselves and put on the clean clothing. After this she cooked their supper and departed for home. She felt very tired as she walked toward home, but at the same time felt enthused over the thought of having done one more days work for her good friend and neighbor, Rhoda Cornett. When Billie Cornett arrived at his front gate just as the shadows of night began to fall on the threshold of his home, one of his little girls came running to meet him, crying, "Look here I am all cleaned up. Mary Everage has been here with us all day. She left just a few minutes ago." Billie Cornett walked on into the house. When he beheld his children in their clean clothes, the house cleaned and everything looking so much like he had so often seen it during his wife's life, he almost felt that a mother's hand had been there. The children had many things to tell him about Mary Everage having them to help her about the work and their many experiences during the day; but their father did not have but little to say to them. His thoughts were running on the council that his wife had given him, "Mary Everage would make you a good wife." He did not sleep but little that night; his mind seemed to be taking a new lease on life. He could see in his visions Mary Everage going about the duties of a mother in his home, directing and counseling his children and the thought of his dead wife's advise had turned him upside down. He arose early next morning and cooked a hurried breakfast. After eating breakfast he instructed his children as to their work for that day, told them that he would be back home that evening and then started with quickened step down the road toward Mary Everage's home. When he arrived, she met him at the door and asked him to come into the house. He answered, "No, I just came to see you about a little matter." "All right," she said, "what is it?" His heart seemed to choke him; finally he said, "Mary, I never courted but one woman in my life and I never expect to court another, but if you will marry me and help me raise my children, I will help you raise yours and I will go and get the license today," She agreed to the proposition and they got married.
