Obituary

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.
