From Obituary of Cornelia Denver James (1841-1911), published in Coshocton Morning Tribune (Coshocton, Ohio) Friday Oct.27, 1911, "Cornelia Denver James was a sister of General James W Denver, founder of the city of Denver.She was a woman of unusual intellectual ability. During the life of Capt. E.W. James,while the family made Coshocton their home,they were prominently identified with the intellectual, social and church life of the city and were always foremost in all that stood for the uplift and benefit of the community. Mrs. James was a charter member of the Coshocton Historical club. During the recent centennial she sent the club a beautiful poem, appropriate for the occasion written by herself. She also wrote two splendid poems at the time of the Wilmington homecoming that have called forth much favorable comment."
