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.
