DIED - Jesse B. Corwin

On Thursday morning, May 7, 1874, at his late residence, near Lebanon, Jesse B.
Corwin, in the 76th year of his age.

The deceased was born, and has always lived at or near Lebanon, and was well
known in the town and neighborhood, generally. He was one of the thirteen
children of the late Ichabod Corwin, Sen., and Sarah his wife, the first
settlers in this neighborhood. This was in 1796, seventy-nine years ago. All of
these thirteen children, seven sons and six daughters, lived to maturity, and
left [home?]. One of the sons only remains, R. G. Corwin, of Dayton, and three
of the daughters, Mrs. A. H. Dunlevy, of Lebanon, Mrs. Elvira Bryant and Mrs.
Sarah Jones of Urbana.

The deceased was so well known in this vicinity as to require no particular
notice. He was a man of strict integrity, of amiable disposition, and uniformly
kind and generous to all about him. These qualities greatly endeared him to the
neighborhood where he was known best and most highly esteemed. No one ever
uttered a word against him. Foes he had none and all who knew him were his fast
friends.

After raising a family of seven children of his own, by the sudden death of his
eldest daughter and her husband, the late Judge Sabin, of Warren County, five
more young and helpless orphans were left to be cared for, raised and educated.
These Mr. Corwin and his wife, their grand-parents, took at once to their home
and provided for them, all of whom are now raised, educated, and able to make
their own living in the world. It was doubtless to some degree, the additional
labor of taking care of and providing for this second family of children in an
old age that compelled the deceased to exert himself beyond his strength, and
added to bring on him that debility which resulted in his sudden death. The
deceased leaved a widow, five of his own and five of the grand-children to mourn
the loss of a most affectionate and kind husband and father.

The funeral sermon was preached by the Rev. David Clark, of Lebanon, Sabbath
afternoon at his late home, and attended by a very large concourse of relatives
and neighbors who thus silently expressed their sympathy for the bereaved family
and relatives.
