Death of Mrs. Corbin.

Lucy E. Corbin (nee Slack) was born at Stonington Point, Conn., September 5, 1814, died at her home near Carrollton February 16, 1901, aged 86 years, 5 months and 11 days. She was married to Chas. Corbin in 1837, was the mother of eleven children, five of whom and her life companion are now living. With her husband she moved to this county twenty eight years ago. While age and infirmity came upon her she bore it patiently, always even seeming cheerful, and was loved by all who knew her. Funeral services were conducted by the writer Sunday at the U. B. church, Carrollton, from the text, "The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death." - 1 Cor., 15-26. And the body was laid to rest to await the resurrection of the just, for she died in the faith of Christ as her Savior.

(Excerpt from article on the 1901 Old Settlers meeting.)

Mrs. Lucey E. Corbin, whose presence has added interest to a number of meetings of the old settlers' association is with us no more. On the 16th day of last February her spirit bade farewell to earth at her home near Carrollton. For nearly thirty years she and her husband have labored in Carroll county and have raised a family which is highly respected. At the end of the 86th milestone she laid down her cares and sorrows to enjoy that blissful life that is assured to all who have lived, loved and labored as Grandma Corbin did.
