Corp, Sidney, farmer, is located on section 29, Zumbro, where he settled
in 1860, and now has three hundred and eighty acres. He is a native of
England, born February 15, 1832, in Wanstrow, Somersetshire. His early
years were passed on a farm and in attendance at a rate school. In 1850 he
crossed the Atlantic and settled at Brecksville, Ohio, where he learned
the carpenter's trade, and continued at that occupation till he came here.
In 1854 he went to Melrose, Illinois, from whence he removed to Minnesota.
As soon as he was settled here he set about improving his land and setting
out trees. He is now one of our model farmers, and was the first to ship
fruit from this section. September 25, 1853, he married Elizabeth, sister
of James Arnold, parentage elsewhere given. Both are among the earliest
admitted to the Wesleyan Methodist church here. In politics Mr. Corp is
independent of parties. Their only child, Annie, born June 4, 1854, is now
the wife of Harry L. Rolph and resides near her parents. Mr. and Mrs.
Rolph have two daughters.
