D. CORWIN The veteran William D. Corwin passed into a life of peace and quiet on last Saturday morning. For almost 85 years - since Nov. 8, 1836 - he had lived continuously in this vicinity - a radius of 25 miles from Lebanon would have reached his home at any time. His birth place was in farm now owned by Corwin Drake on the Waynesville pike. Born of sturdy stock, the son of James H. and Mary Dunham Corwin, he belonged to that class of which Lincoln said, "The Lord must have loved them for he made so many of them." Like the majority of pioneers, Mr. Corwin was a patriotic man, a lover of humanity, a supporter of bovernment. When the South threatened secession and the whip of the slave-master was snapping defiance at the government at Washington, Mr. Corwin enlisted in a cavalry regiment in Illinois. Of his company every man owned his own outfit, which the government afterward purchased. He then came to Ohio, and in January of 1861, with other patriotic boys, numbering in all eighteen, he joined the 4th Ohio Cavalry commanded by Colonel John Kennett of Cincinnati. Of this band of 18, Capt. Albert Brant is now the lone survivor. While on parole their Company having been taken prisoners at Lexington, Ky., by General Morgan's men, the Lebanon boys came home and while here, Mr. Corwin married Susan J. Brown. As the prisoners were soon exchanged he left his bride and returned to the battlefields to serve until the war was over. His comrade Albert Brant says of him, "Always happy and jolly when no in an engagement, he was a sternly disciplined soldier under fire. There were none better than William Corwin." To Mr. and Mrs. Corwin were born 12 children, of whom 9 are still living and with their mother mourn the passing of one who had always been kind and loving. The children surviving are ex-county commissioner, W. D. Corwin, Frank S. Corwin, Mrs. Lucy Settlemyre, Clint D. Howard, Thos. Robert and Forrest Corwin and Mrs. Florence Tucker, all residents of Ohio, and with the exception of Mrs. Tucker who lives at Cuyahoga Falls, living in or near Warren County.
