Biography
Cornelia Samantha Hancock was born in Payson, Utah, 16 Aug 1852 (per grave stone). She was the second child of Samantha Priscilla (Rawson; 1830-1854), the first wife of Charles Brent Hancock (1823-1904).
She married 18 Jul 1870 at Salt Lake City, Utah, Noah Luman Shurtleff [1], with whom she may have had nine children, born during the timespan through 1892.
In the 1880 census, the family of Samantha C. Shurtliff was enumerated in Harrisville, Weber County, Utah [2].
Cornelia Samantha (Hancock) Shurtleff died 27 Nov 1936 at Harrisville, Utah, Her grave is in Ogden City Cemetery, Ogden, Weber County, Utah, USA [3].
Notes
The online FamilySearch database represents that Cornelia married second, in 1898, Carl Gotlieb Charlie Geisler (1860-1940), as his second wife. This is supported by a marriage license dated 19 Jan 1899, issued in Weber County, Utah [4]. Marriages such as these in late life were commonly "of convenience", and in this case the Geisler surname does not appear to prevail among the necrology statistics for Cornelia.
