Alling & Cory still operated under that name until fairly recently. It's
now part of Xpedx.

DAVID CORY DEAD

Member of the Firm of Alling & Cory and a Well-Known Citizen of Rochester

David CORY, of the firm of ALLING & CORY, paper dealers of Exchange street,

died at his home, No. 296 East avenue, at 7 o'clock last evening, aged 67
years. Mr. CORY was stricken with apoplexy at his place of business at 5
o'clock
yesterday afternoon and did not rally from the shock.
Mr. CORY was one of Rochester's oldest, best known and most highly
respected citizens. He was born at Ballston Springs, N. Y., and came to
Rochester
in 1850. Almost immediately after locating here he opened a book and
stationery store in partnership with William ALLING. This business later
developed
into the wholesale paper business, in which he was associated with Joseph
T.
ALLING at the time of his death.
Mr. CORY was a member of Third Presbyterian Church. When he came to
Rochester he joined Central Presbyterian Church, but twelve years ago he
changed
to Third Church, and ever since his connection with that place of worship
has been one of its most devoted and influential members. He was a member
of
the building committee of Third Church and was most instrumental in the
erection of the new ediface. He was of a quiet, retiring disposition, with
simple
tastes and was little known in public life. He had a host of friends who
will
sincerely join with the afflicted family in their grief. Mrs. CORY was not
present at the time of the death of her husband. She, with their youngest
son,
Harvey E. CORY, is in Bermuda. Besides those mentioned another son, David
W.
CORY, survives. No arrangements will be made for the funeral until Mrs.
CORY's
return.
