He was Deputy Assessor of Internal Revenue of this district for many years, and once served as Sheriff of Madison County. He died in 1875, aged fifty-six years. He married Adelia Webb, a native of Connecticut, who bore his six children. Two of these yet survive -- our subject and brother Edward, clerk in Jordan's coal office London. Mrs. McCormack is still living and resides in London. Ernest McCormack attended the public schools of his native place, and subsequently the Commercial College of Dayton, Ohio. Upon leaving the latter institution, he secured a position as book-keeper for L G. Peetrey in the mercantile trade. He remained there five years, and was then appointed Recorder of Madison County, to fill an unexpired term of six months. Upon the expiration of this time, he entered the Auditor's office as a clerk, remaining there one year.
