The Tehachapi News 
Newton Lester Corbit

Dec. 28, 1924 – Oct. 12, 2005

A graveside funeral service was held Tuesday, Oct. 18, at the Union Cemetery 
in Bakersfield, for Tehachapi resident Newton Lester Corbit, 80, who passed 
away Oct. 12 in a Bakersfield hospital.

Newton was born in Cave City, Ark., on Dec. 28, 1924. He and his wife Reba 
came to Bakersfield during the dust bowl era. Newton had many jobs in his 
life – working since he was 12 years old. He was last employed by Hughes 
Aircraft in Los Angeles where he retired after 29 years of service as a Class 
A Master Machinist. After retirement, Newton moved back to Kern County with 
his youngest son and daughter-in-law. He loved to fish, ride his bicycle and 
was a huge model train enthusiast.

Newton is survived by sons, Terry G Corbit and his wife Dione, of Tehachapi; 
Robert Corbit, of Arkansas; and Mike Corbit and his wife Cathy, of Oregon; six 
grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; and brother, Paul Corbit and his 
wife Ann, of Arkansas. He was predeceased by his wife Reba in 1982.

Wood Family Funeral Service handled the arrangements.
