Cornelius Vanderbilt Pearsall
1819 - 1902 (83 years)1. Cornelius Vanderbilt Pearsall was born on 4 Apr 1819 in New York, New York (son of Abijah Pearsall and Getty Courson); died on 9 Apr 1902 in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan; was buried in Woodmere Cemetery, Detroit, Wayne, Michigan. Notes:
His 1902 death certificate calls him a widower, but in fact his wife appears to have outlived him; the 4 Mar 1910 Detroit Free Press obituary for Hanna Bell Pearsall calls her "relict of the late Cornelius Pearsall." Probably the death certificate was in error.
