MTHC loses a friend
Jim Cornelius Long time MTHC officer
James Milton Cornelius, aged 98, lifelong resident of Mountain Top, passed away August 4, 2026 peacefully in his family home.
At the young age of 16, James became involved with the Mountain Top Hose Company, where he served as secretary and later treasurer, remaining a lifelong member. His passion for railroads led him to join the Lackawanna Wyoming Valley Railway Historical Society Chapter NRHS. Together with his wife, they traveled yearly to various railroad events across the country.
James was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 60 years, Geraldine Nobel Cornelius.
He leaves behind a loving family, including his children Jennifer (David) Gruber, Jon Cornelius (Jill Jones), Mary Cornelius (Allen Estes), Daniel (Tracy) Cornelius, Jessica (Gene) Zellman, and Edward (Robin) Cornelius. He is also survived by eight grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews.
