William M. Corwin Passes To His Reward

"Judge" William M. Corwin, the popular magistrate of Franklin, is no more. Death
came as he expected and after the manner he desired. One might say that he died
"in harness" for only the day before his death he sold the chattels of William
Dey at public sale. As usual on such occasions he was full of vigor and provoked
shouts of laughter by his jokes.

On Thursday morning Mr. Corwin fell ill and did not go to his office, and about
nine o'clock passed gently into that dreamless sleep that we call death. The
Grim Messenger had summoned him and he answered the call.

William M. Corwin, son of William and Abigail Corwin was born on a farm near
Lebanon on January 5, 1843. In 1846 his family came to this city where he has
resided with the exception of a few years. In the dark days of the Republic he
responded to his country's call, serving in the 60th O.V.I. and 146th O.N.G.
April 1863 he was joined in bonds of holy wedlock to Miss Sarah I. Death, who
with two sons, Howard, of Hamburg, N. J. and Frank, of Hamilton, O., and two
daughters, of this city, Mrs. F. C. Dial and Mrs. A. C. Vail, and one sister,
Mrs. M. W. Earhart and one brother, J. W. Corwin, of Richmond, Ind., are left to
mourn his loss.

The sympathy of the entire community goes out to these stricken ones especially
to the wife and companion of the past half century. May the peace that passeth
all understanding be hers.

Squire Corwin served in the capacity of Township clerk and Justice of the Peace
for seventeen years and was on the Board of Cemetery Trustees and has always
taken a keen interest in public affairs.

The funeral services were held from the home on Sunday afternoon.
