CORBIN." [Transcribed on March 8, 2007 by RLJ from microfilm of the original newspaper on file in the Bloomfield-Eastern Greene County Public Library.] Mary Catherine (PRICE) CORBIN, eldest daughter of Landon C. and Emaline PRICE, deceased, of near Owensburg, was born March 21, 1856, and departed this life May 19, 1927, aged seventy-one years, one month, and twenty-eight days. She was united in marriage to Martin F. CORBIN on March 4, 1875. To this union were born four children. They are Mattie (CORBIN) COMPTON, who preceded the father and mother only a few days; one son who died in infancy; Emma (CORBIN) JOHNSON, who departed this life twenty-three years ago, and Clonie (CORBIN) GERBAZ and her little son, Delbert, who are the only survivors of the immediate family. Mrs. CORBIN professed her belief in Christ at the age of seventeen years at the Bethel church in Jackson Township and was baptized by Bro. FLOYD, and lived in that faith to the end. She was a kind an loving mother; a devoted sister, and was loved by all her neighbors, and she numbered her friends by the legion. She was of a generous disposition, never turning away from her door anyone who sought assistance-always dividing of what she had to the poor and needy. She was a true believer in Christ, and prayed for the young people of today. She sang and shouted glory to God to the end, and truly God cared for her to the end, and her bright spirit went away to join her husband, children and friends to dwell in that Spirit Land to await the morning of the Great Resurrection. Besides the daughter and grandson, she is also survived by four brothers. They are Mitchell PRICE, of Owensburg; Joseph G. PRICE, of Winfield, Kansas; Ira PRICE, of Sullivan, Illinois, and Moses PRICE, of Bethany Illinois, and two sisters, Mrs. Mattie KIDD, of Douglass, Kansas, and Mrs. John PRATT, of Chanute, Kansas. The funeral services were held at the Bloomfield Christian Church at 1:00 p.m., Friday, May 20, 1927, conducted by Rev. J. L. HATFIELD, of Owensburg. She was laid to rest in Grand View Cemetery beside her husband and daughter, who preceded her in death only a few days. - Link to the Obituary of her husband Martin F.
