Walter "Bill" Cornwell
Wednesday, May 30th 2007
There will be a Memorial Service for Walter "Bill" Cornwell on Saturday, June 2, 2007 at the Cornwell Ranch 14 miles west of Glasgow at 2:00 P.M.
Walter “Bill” Cornwell, 84, of Glasgow, died Sunday, April 29th on the family ranch west of Glasgow.
It is indeed a fortunate man to have been born into the life he would have chosen for himself. Walter was born in the log home on the ranch with his identical twin brother Howard, November, 13 1923 to Lee and Ida Roub Cornwell. Walter and Howard soon became Bill and Tiny from the cartoon Billy Bob and Tiny Tot and grew up on Buggy Creek. It was a double blessing to have been born a twin and together to have lived that life side by side, sharing all the joys of ranch life and facing what must have seemed the worst of times and the best of times. They could often look at each other, grin and say, ”This is good!” The work on the ranch was done with horses and the “rite of passage” into manhood was marked when a boy was allowed to drive a team of his own in the hay field. For Bill this time came at about eleven years of age. A love of horses was woven into his earliest memories. They played at being horses before they were big enough to ride and it was a good day when someone would set them on Polly and leave them there all morning. He grew up learning from cowboys like Hank Weasa, Steve Boyce, Sherman Lund and Eddy DuBeau. Bill and Tiny saved their lamb money first for boots, then for saddles and finally bought Dusty Day, a quarter horse stud, instead of a car, because they could have more fun with horses.
Bill had a passion for photography and especially loved taking pictures of ranch animals, wildlife and nature. His digital camera provided greater dimension as he created masterpieces from his photos and often added his own perspective or a poem to express himself. Bill carried his progressive thinking in to the ranch business by becoming proficient on the computer in his later years. Bill’s memory and stories provided information and entertainment for all. He had a great respect for the history of this area and his family. He loved to put together slide shows of past events and showed them to anyone with interest.
Bill went to grade school at Buggy Creek and Highland schools, graduated from Glasgow High School and attended Northern Montana College. November 21, 1950, he married Ann Nyquist and raised his family on the ranch. He endowed his family with a respect and love for the lifestyle of the land.
Bill and Ann had three sons, Lynn, his wife Debby and their children Michelle (Chad) Hoover, Cody (Juli) Cornwell, Jamie (Eric) Hafenfeld, and Kirk (Britney) Cornwell, Lee and Madylon, and their children Stuart and Audra, and Clay Cornwell.
Bill was preceded in death by his wife Ann, his brothers Thomas, Bob and Howard Cornwell, and his sister Hazel Cornwell DeBeau. He is survived by his sister Myrtle Cornwell Nyquist, of Bozeman.
Through his innovative ideas and progressive thought process, Bill was a leader in the livestock industry. He was a member of the Valley Livestock Association, Valley Ridgerunners, the Montana Association of State Grazing Districts, and the Montana Stockgrowers Association, serving as president. He was also the Regional Vice President of the American National Cattlemen’s Association. Bill served on the Tampico School Board until it closed and was a trustee of the Glasgow School Board. He was also a First National Bank Director for many years. Bill also served on a committee for the Montana Constitutional Convention. A memorial celebration will be held at 2 p.m. June 2 at the ranch. The family has chosen to send memorials to the MSU Ag Science Building Fund in Bozeman.
