Notes for John W. Cornette
Kentucky death index lists John W. Cornette, age 85, died 4 Dec 1958 in Fayette Co., residence Rowan Co., certificate Vol. 52, #25948.

A joint stone in the Cornette Cemetery off Pretty Ridge Road (Rt. 1274) says John W. Cornett, 1873-1958; Martha A. Cornett, 1876-19__

The W must stand for William, because a personal item in the Rowan County News of 19 Dec 1929 says "Mr. and Mrs. Vencil Riddle visited Mrs. Riddle's parents Mr. and Mrs. Bill Cornette."

Notes for Martha A. Caudill
Martha is listed in the Jan 1935 obituary of her brother Albert as Mrs. J. W. Cornett, Morehead. And Nola Cornett, married in 1927 at age 20, lists her parents on her marriage license as J. W. & Martha Cornett. Together, these would seem to imply that she was married to J. W. Cornett from at least 1907 to 1935. I have not found a marriage record for them, so the marriage was probably in Morgan Co. or Elliott Co.
