   GEORGE W. CORBIN, farmer, P. O. Vanlue, born in July, 1846, in Fairfield
County, Ohio, is a son of Israel and Catharine (Rea) Corbin, natives of
Pennsylvania. Israel Corbin came of one of the pioneer families of Fairfield
County, Ohio, and he himself is one of the early settlers of Hancock County,
Ohio. He came to this county in 1852, and purchased of Smith Carver 123 acres of
land in Section 5, with slight improvements already made. The purchase price was
$9 per acre, and the terms of sale were $25 cash and the balance to be paid in
annual payments of $100 each, without interest. Other lands around him were soon
after entered, and four years later he sold his land for over $2,000, and
removed to Vanlue, Ohio, where he engaged in the grocery business and in
butchering. He remained in Vanlue a few years, then purchased a farm and removed
to the country. Israel Corbin married three times. Of his family of nine
children three are now living (these are by his first wife). Their names are
Peter F., Naomi V., now Mrs. Andrew Sallzman, and George W. The subject of this
sketch married, October 24, 1872, Harriet, daughter of William Brown, and to
this union have been born three sons and one daughter: Merle C., Orland E.,
Gertrude E. and Edwin G. Mr. Corbin has a fine farm of 128 acres of excellent
land, which he purchased from Jesse Ford in 1870, and on which, in 1878, he
built a fine frame house, and in 1880 a good barn. He has also laid many
hundreds of rods of tiling on his place. In politics Mr. Corbin is a Democrat.
