Barnet Corwin;son of Aunt Polly;died July 20;1889. He was taken sick with something like a sunstroke and paralysis;and did not think much of it until taken to his bed;which he never left. He was born near Bellevernon;April 27;1814;and grew up to manhood’s estate. At the age of twenty he married a neighbor’s daughter;Miss Nellie Call. To this union came three children;J.W.;Mary and Baker;the latter dying quite young. Mrs.C.only lived six years;and then went to join her child in the realms of glory. Mr.Corwin married Miss Margaret Springer;and quite a family of children were born to them;those living being:Sarah A.;Charles R.;Joseph F.;Luther C.;Rowland W.;and A.odell. The second Mrs.C.followed her children;and her name is sacred to the children left. Mr.Corwin did not like to be left alone;and about seven years ago he married the widow of Thomas Cooper;who survives him. He was always a highly respected citizen and his loss was a blow. He in early years was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church;but later joined the Free Will Baptist church;of which he was a member at his death. He had not attended church in his last days on account of his hearing being defective. His funeral took place Monday morning at 10 o’clock;and the remains placed in the Bellevernon cemetery. The pallbearers were all grandchildren of the deceased. The last sad rites head been performed;when words similar to the following came to the minds of the mourners and brought relief. WEEP NOT FOR HIM WHO DIETH;FOR HE SLEEPS AND IS AT REST;AND THE COUCH WHEREON HE LIETH IS THE GREEN EARTH’S QUIET BREAST.
