[From _Putnam County Republican_, Carmel, N. Y., April 6, 1895.]
On our second page will be found a sketch of a Revolutionary soldier
and patriot, Dr. Elias Cornelius, who was for many years a resident of
Baldwin Place. This is the first complete sketch of Dr. Cornelius'
career that has been presented to the public, although he passed away
over seventy years ago. We are indebted to our old friend, Judge
Charles M. Tompkins, of Washington, D. C., for a copy of Dr.
Cornelius' Journal, and also for other information which has aided us
in compiling the sketch.--EDITOR.
