William Ellis Corey was an early-20th-century American industrialist, in the steel industry. He was president of the Carnegie Steel Company from 1901 to 1903, and president of U.S. Steel from 1903-1911.[1] He was born in Braddock, Pennsylvania, in 1866.[2] In 1883 he married Laura Cook, whom he met when she worked for his family,[3] and they had one son, Allan Corey.
