General Notes: Husband - Amos Williams Corbett


He grew up on his father's farm, and for a time after reaching his legal majority lived in Clar­ion township. In 1868 he settled permanently in Clarion, PA, where he was a lumberman for many years, being associated in that enterprise with Samuel Wilson, a pioneer lumberman in that section of the state. Mr. Corbett also owned a general store and a substantial brick block in Clarion and this was later the possession of his daughter, Mrs. Reid. He had several farms in Clarion County and in his day was reputed very wealthy. He was a Re­publican in his political convictions, and at the time of his demise was a candidate on the Republican ticket for mem­bership in the state legislature.
