    Joseph R. Corboy. No man in his locality of the Miami valley has been more
substantially and honorably identified with the agricultural interests than
Joseph R. Corboy, who began his agricultural pursuits in partnership with his
brother. Opportunity in the environment of this thrifty farmer has never been
allowed to knock twice at the door, but has been turned to the best possible
account from both a personal and community standpoint. Mr. Corboy, who is now
one of the most highly respected and popular residents of Whitewater township,
was born in Sardinia, Brown county, Ohio, February 25, 1869, a son of John and
Margaret (North) Corboy, both of whom were natives of Ireland. John Corboy came
to this country in 1849 and located in Windsor, Conn., where he followed his
trade as miller for some years. In 1855 he came to Ohio and settled in Brown
county, where he followed farming until his demise which occurred in 1883. Mr.
Corboy was a Democrat in politics and held the office of township trustee for
some years. He was a member of the Catholic church and was active in its many
affairs. Mr. and Mrs. Corboy were the parents of ten children, and they are as
follows: Christopher, Cornelius and Frank, deceased; Mary, the wife of Dr. E. W.
Love, of Fayetteville, Ohio; Bridget E., the wife of John Wardlow, of Sardinia,
Ohio; Jennie, who resides in Fayetteville, Ohio; Joseph R.; Margery, the wife of
Michael Fay, of Cincinnati, Ohio; James, who resides in Sardinia, Ohio; Daniel,
deceased. Joseph R. Corboy obtained his early education in the public schools of
Sardinia, Ohio, and after completing his course of study, engaged in teaching
schools for twelve terms. In 1899 he came to Whitewater township, where he
engaged in the agricultural business in partnership with his brother, Cornelius.
After continuing here for some time, he purchased his present fine farm of 121
acres, where he is at present engaged in dairy farming and stock raising, in the
latter of which he has more than local fame. Politically, Mr. Corboy is a stanch
Democrat, and has held the office of township assessor for several terms. He is
a member of St. Joseph's Catholic church of North Bend, Ohio, and is interested
in all its activities. On July 20, 1912, Mr. Corboy was united in marriage with
Miss Carrie Weisbrodt, a daughter of John and Barbara (Pope) Weisbrodt of
Whitewater township, Hamilton county, Ohio. Mrs. Corboy was born in Whitewater
township, and obtained her education in its public and parochial schools. She is
a lady of real refinement and culture and is popular with her numerous friends
throughout the county. To Mr. and Mrs. Corboy have been born four children: John
Joseph, Loretta, and Cornelius and Rose Mary, twins, all of whom are at home. In
concluding this review of Mr. Corboy's life, it may be added that he is a man
who stands very high in public esteem and is justly ranked among the best
representatives of his calling in the Miami valley.
