Corbin and Daughter Dies Tuesday; Wife Dies This Morning." [Transcribed on March 8, 2007 by RLJ from microfilm of the original newspaper on file in the Bloomfield-Eastern Greene County Public Library.] Mattie (CORBIN) COMPTON was born near Owensburg on April 3, 1876, and passed away at the home of her parents on May 10, 1927, being fifty-one years, one month and seven days old. She accepted her savior and was buried with him in baptism at the age of twenty years at Moody, Illinois. She was united in marriage to Otis F. COMPTON, of Elkhart, Indiana, on December 19, 1905, living a number of years in Chicago, but returning to her father's home, where she lived and leaves her mother and sister and little nephew, Delbert, and a host of friends. She had been in poor health for some time but recently attended church at Kentucky Ridge, where she renewed her faith in God. During her short illness and the fatal illness of herself and her father and mother, she realized they would soon be called home. She was willing to go and only a few hours she went on before her father. The deceased was ambitious and by doing for others will be greatly missed by loving and sorrowing relatives and friends. The mother is still seriously ill and her weakened condition may cause her death at any hour. The funeral services for Martin CORBIN and his daughter, Mrs. COMPTON, were held at the Christian church in Bloomfield yesterday afternoon in charge of Elder Logan HATFIELD, of Owensburg. Interment in Grand View Cemetery. - Link to the Obituary of her father, Martin F.
