Moved to Aurora, Illinois in 1844, starting a tailoring business in 1848. He had to retire from tailoring because of failing eyesight and became constable and collector. In 1858, he went into the drug business with J. D. Moore, which he conducted until his death. He lived in Aurora, Illinois in 1870 and1880 and was listed as a druggist.

Note: The Wawarsing Reformed Church record indicates he was born 20 May 1820, but baptized 10 Jul 1814. One of these dates is obviously incorrect, but which one? Cornelius resided in Fond Du Lac Township, Fond Du Lac County, Wisconsin for the census of 1870 and 1885. He is credited with being one of the founders of that town. In 1870 he had Laura Wilelder, age 68, born in Vermont, living with him. Jerome Boyer, age 16, was living with him also. In 1880, a younger Laura is his wife and they have a son, William T. Bevier, born in England residing there also, as well as the older Laura. We must presume that this son was adopted unless further evidence surfaces. It is possible the two Lauras are mother and daughter.
