He was born August 26, 1853 and was sixty-eight years, six months and fifteen days of age. He was ill with asthma and flu about ten days. He leaves to mourn their great loss, his wife, two daughters, Mrs. jay Stephens and Mrs. F. B. Parsons of Vermilion, one son, Charles of Sandusky, two brothers, Edward Corbin of Toledo and George Corbin of Menomimee, Michigan. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at the home of his daughter Mrs. F. B. Parsons where he was taken a few days before his death.
