J.Wesley Corwin died on Saturday;November 8;1890;at his late residence on Main street;Bellevernon;Pa.;of paralysis of the heart. He was born in the house adjoining his late residence;well know as the Aunt Polly Corwin house ;July 6;1834. He was the only son of his father;Barnet Corwin;by his wife;Eleanor Call Corwin. He was married to Miss Margaret Jane Jacobs;June 21;1866;by the Rev.Jordon C.Nye. He joined the Methodist Episcopal Church of his native place in 1850;under the ministration of the Rev.John Coil;by whom he was baptised. In 1853 he transferred his church membership to the Free Will Baptist Church;during the ministration of Rev.David Winton. This church then worshipped in the old building near the corner of Wood street and Flint alley on the hill. In his new church relation the deceased assumed an active and influential position;and continued faithful to its interests and the cause of his Master to the end. He was among the first to agitate the project of erecting a new church edifice. To this end he devoted his untiring energy;and to him more than any one individual is that church indebted for the new building;now standing on the corner of Short and Speer streets. As a deacon in the church he was faithful and ever on the watch for its interests and the welfare of souls. As a citizen he was honest and upright in all his dealings;and was so regarded universally by the community in which he always lived. In the municipal affairs of his native borough he was often called to take part;and always performed his office satisfactory to his fellow citizens. At the time of his death he was a member of the school board of which he was treasurer. He leaves a wife;one son and sister;with several half brothers and one half sister;to mourn over his sudden departure. On Monday;November 10th;his remains were interred in Bellevernon cemetery;where three generations of his kindred await the resurrection morn. Blessed be his memory. His transition from earth to eternity was sudden;and without a struggle his eyes were closed in death and opened to behold the Son of Righteousness in all His glory.
