Marriage of William Charles, fourth son of the late John Markwell of Richmond to Finetta Ellwood (Nettie), youngest daughter of William Milham, Errington, Ash Island on 23 February 1887. Minister Rev. C. Corner
Details:
A tea and public meeting was held in the Morpeth School of Arts on Tuesday, to bid farewell to the Rev. Kerton Corner, who, for the past three years, has had charge of the Morpeth Station in the Wesleyan Church. Mr, Corner passed the early part of his life in Morpeth, and, consequently, when he came back to take charge of the church, met many old friends, and the increase of his popularity seems to belie the old saying about a prophet receiving no honour in his own c6untry. The farewell meeting must have been very gratifying to him, as not only the members of his church, but numbers of other denominations, met to bid him God speed. The tea meeting was in every way a success, the ladies who provided the good things and attended to the wants of the visitor vying with each other to make everyone as happy as possible, and when all were satisfied the tables were removed. In a very short time the hall was filled, whilst numbers could not gain admission

Its population was merely 250. Wee Waa possessed a hundred souls and Moree 56. The Rev. Kerton A. Corner was the pioneer of the North West, not only for the Methodist Church but also as far as other Churches were concerned, for he was the first Minister in the whole of the district. The nearest Minister of any other denomination was 60 miles away. The Rev. Corner spared not himself in service, and during his two years appointment travelled the whole are from the Nami to the Barwon and beyond. His immediate successor was the Rev. J. E.
