Alas, I do not have today's New York Times obits (Sunday, January 1, 2012), but a fantastic prominent lady who gave much good to this world, last name Miller, died. The obit mentions the names of her Cornelius parents.

Still looking for early to mid-1950's New Jersey public and private school teachers, Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius, a bit chubby in then middle age; generous, cheerful. They once had a (pray to communicate to dead around a table--can't spell word?) in the Woodcastle School for Boys (Robert Clifton "Tony" Lumpkin, PhD, headmaster), 4th floor tower room where they lived. The ghost of Mr. Beatty then ignored us, as it died his wife's earlier attempts to reach him. Sarah C. Beatty, Jan 9, 1888--Aug 9, 1975.

We (early 1950's) tried to contact Mr. Wm. H. N. Beatty, who died there March 31, 1931, who built the once home as "Castle Utopia". By-the-way, his grandson born there, Bob Beatty of Vero Beach, Florida; has terminal cancer. It was near Liberty Corner, N.J., off Somerville Road. Now off, 1 Shadowbrook Lane. Now named Phareloch Castle, home of Steven Fieldstein. It can be seen at: http://www.fieldstienfinancial.com/pharelochcastlehome.html. The tower room roof tip is on Google Maps at: Lat 40* 38' 58.36" N, Lng 74* 36' 18.00" W.

I was a Woodcastle boarding student from Long Hill Road, N.J.
