Charles L. Corell

Parents
- Frederick Corell (b June 21, 1857)
- Caroline Long (b January 1, 1858)
Born November 26, 1883 in Tuscarawas County, Ohio
Died October 4, 1940
Married to Minnie R. Keummerly (b March 14, 1883)
Married to Pauline E xxx (b about 1888) with one girl b 1915, and another girl b 1907 with a different last name. Before 1930 he was always listed as Correll, but in 1930 he is listed as Corell. Perhaps during the 1920s the family decided to change the spelling of their last name?
Married in 1939 to Amanda J Kind (b about 1881, d August 25, 1963). (All I really know, from family notes, is Charles married Amanda Kind in 1939. I see an Amanda Kind married to William Kind in 1930, so perhaps Kind was a name from a previous marriage. I see an Amanda J. Corell b 1881 d aug 25 1963 in Tuscarawas County in the SS records. Wait a second ... Charles' brother Harry's wife's name was Amanda J Marburger. Charles died in 1928. It's possible that these are all the same Amanda, but then again, maybe they aren't. No, Amanda J Correll shows up as a widow in Strasburg, Ohio with all her children in 1930.)

In the 1900 census he was a boarder with the family of Thomas Eblick in Dover, Tuscarawas, Ohio. His birthdate is given as Nov 1882. His occupation is illegible (Sfesning Lai). The family he is boarding with all drills wells.

He first married to Minnie R Keummerly, who died June 22, 1912. In 1910 Minnie's brother William A Keummerly was living with them, with both Charles and William hauling clay in a brickyard. They're living down the street from Charles' brother Harry and sister Estella, who live next door to one another.

In 1920 he had remarried to Pauline and had two girls, the older one age 13 and with a different last name. He's living in the same place, still working as a clay wheeler in a brickyard.

In 1930 he was still married to Pauline, living with just the youngest girl, and working as a salesman for a feed plant.

In 1939 he remarried to Amanda Kind, then he died the next year.

This is not the Charles Corell who played Andy on the early Amos & Andy sitcom, and it's also not the recent actor by the same name.
