Early life and business careerCornett was born in Burning Springs, Kentucky (Clay County), in rural southeastern Kentucky. He served in the United States Army during World War I before moving to Klamath Falls, Oregon where he established himself as a businessman. He was the owner of successful automobile dealerships and three radio stations in the Klamath Falls area. In June 1922, Cornett married Olive Byram (1891–1977) in Kake, Alaska.{{citation needed|date=July 2011}} Political careerCornett served in the Oregon State Senate from 1941, to 1947 representing the 17th legislative district. In his final term, he served as Senate President.[1] He was an alternate delegate to the 1944 Republican National Convention. On October 28, 1947, Cornett and two other top office-holders, Oregon Governor Earl Snell and Oregon Secretary of State Robert S. Farrell, Jr., were killed in a plane crash while en route to the Kittredge Ranch in Warner Valley near Lakeview, Oregon. "The Kittredge's were hosting a goose hunt for these Oregon officials. The airplane left Klamath Falls about 10:00 P.M. (or later) and did not arrive at the Kittredge Ranch."[2] Pilot Cliff Hogue perished as well, when his small plane crashed in stormy weather southwest of Dog Lake. A state funeral was held for Snell, Farrell and Cornett at the Capitol in Salem.[3] Marshall Cornett's remains were interned at Macedonia Cemetery, Burning Springs, Kentucky.{{citation needed|date=July 2011}} See also
