Excerpt from The Travels of Ellen Cornish

It was in 1907 that Mrs Cornish first visited Jamaica, at the time of the great earthquake. On the fatal 14th of January she was in an upper room of an hotel in Kingston. Feeling a preliminary tremor she sprang to the side of her husband, who was Sitting nearer the centre of the room, and clasped her arms over his head to protect him in case the ceiling should fall. This act probably saved her own life, for had She followed the instinct of self-preservation and fled from the room She would almost certainly have been killed by a mass of brickwork which fell from above the door.

Excerpt from The Travels of Ellen Cornish

In the Times of 27th March, 1911, there appeared the following obituary notice: -

"By the death of Mrs Vaughan Cornish, which occurred at Bournemouth last week, at the age of fifty-seven, the cause of geographical science has lost a valued supporter.

"Ellen Agnes Cornish was the elder daughter of the late Mr Alfred Provis, of Thornhill House, Kingston Lisle, Berks. She married in 1891 Mr Vaughan Cornish, then director of technical education to the Hampshire County Council. In 1895 the appointment was relinquished in order to undertake scientific research. Mrs Cornish possessed a moderate fortune, which made this course possible, though, as the work developed and more distant travel was undertaken, it became necessary to give up her home.
