Biography

John was born in 1874. He is the son of Noble Corkum and Maria Blinkhorn.

The five-year-old John B. appears with his 30-year-old father Noble, a 24-year-old woman named Sharin E. Corkum, and three of John's siblings in the 1881 Canada census in Canning. [1]

The 22-year-old John married 21-year-old Minnie Obrion, 04 Apr 1896. [2]

The 36-year-old — now a widower — married Ada Brilla Rand in 1911. Note the marriage record lists Noble's mother's name as Polenkhorn. [3]

He died in Seattle, at just 42 years old. [4]
