Cornelius was a merchant in Elbridge, New York, retiring by 1880. After 1880, he and Charlotte moved to Pasadena, California. In 1900, they are found living there in a boarding house operated by John and Elizabeth Baddick. In that census entry, Cornelius is listed as Charles C. Emerick. Perhaps one of them had a medical reason for having to live in a warmer climate.

Note N2749 Index

Leah's second marriage (to John W. McElree) was discovered, first, by following the lead given by the 1900 Census of Chicago (T623, Roll 286, E.D. 1014, Page 18A), where one of John and Leah's sons, John Jr., was living with, and listed as a half-brother to, William Scribner, born in Ohio in February 1861. William was Leah's son by her first marriage to William Henry Scribner (1838-1863).
In the 1870 Census of Blanchard Twp., Hardin County, Ohio (M593, Roll 1219, Page 321), William (aged 9) is listed as a son of John and Leah McElree.
In addition, another of John and Leah's sons, Frank (born 7 December 1868) died 6 March 1944 in Los Angeles. In the California Death Index entry for Frank, his mother's maiden name is "Owen."
These pieces of information present a fairly convincing argument (at least in this writer's estimation) that Leah Owens Scribner, widow of William Henry Scribner, married John W. McElree.
