Death of a Nonagenarian. - David Corwin died at his residence in Lebanon last Tuesday night, aged 95 years and 8 months. He was, we believe, the oldest man in Lebanon and probably the oldest in the county. He was born in Fayette County, Pa August 5, 1776 and consequently laced but one month of being as old as the American Republic. When he was nine years of age, his father Jesse Corwin, removed to Kentucky where he died in 1791. In 1798 David Corwin with his mother and brothers and sisters came to Lebanon or rather to the place where Lebanon now is. David's brother Ichabod , came to Ohio in 1796 and is said to have been the first white settler in this vicinity. For several years past the deceased has been so feeble that he has been confined to his house for the most part. He died of old age, seeming to be without disease, and in his last hours suffered but little pain. Strange as it may seem from the advanced age to which he attained, he never possessed a strong frame or a robust constitution, but was of rather tender and delicate habit. He leaves two sons and four daughters and a number of grandchildren. The deceased was an uncle of Governor Thomas Corwin. - Star.
