Corning, Warren Halmes

was born Feb. 18, 1841, in Painesville, Ohio.

In 1887 he sold the Monarch Distilling Co., of Peoria, Ill., upon satisfactory terms to the Distilling and Cattle Feeding Co., and retired with well earned laurels from the company. Released from the exacting routine of daily attention to a large establishment, Mr. Corning then gave his attention to other things. He made large investments in various institutions, including the Standard Sewing Machine Co., the Wick Banking and Trust Co., the First National bank, and the Guardian Trust Co. of Cleveland.
