---

General Notes: Wife - Elizabeth "Lizzie" Culbertson

---

She went as a missionary teacher to the Indians at Wapaunucka, Indian Territory, in 1858, and was driven back by the outbreak of the war in 1861. Then having married Rev. Hunter Corbett, she went with him as a missionary to China, when, after nearly ten year of labor, she passed away.

The following is copied from Mrs. Corbett's diary: "My mother's name was Elizabeth Craig; her father's name was Joseph Craig. He lived on a farm near New Alexandria, had a mill. Was a member of the church, and lived to a good old age. Of my mother's mother I only know that she was a woman of deep piety, who during her whole life kept up the habit of going every day at a stated time to pray. All her children knew why she went. She was the mother of eight. My mother was short, heavy set, plump and rosy cheeked; had chestnut colored hair and brown eyes, fair skin. She had little education but her mind was vigorous. She was very fond of reading and an excellent housekeeper, and very industrious."
