RICHARD F. MILBURN, one of the leading farmers of Boone Township, is a son of Francis and Mary (Inman) Milburn. The father was born in Kentucky in 1804, and the mother in 1809. They moved to Dubois County, Ind., in 1859, where they farmed. Francis died in November, 1861, and the mother died September 5, 1865.
    Richard was born October 24, 1832. He received but little schooling in his boyhood, but by his own exertions acquired a good business education. From early boyhood he worked in a mill in Kentucky until 1853, when he came to Dubois County and settled on a rented farm where he remained two years. He afterward bought eighty acres of the farm where he now lives. He built a house and furnished it, but one day during his absence it burned to the ground. With the assistance of his neighbors, he erected another in four days. He now owns 200 acres of good land. In 1852 he was married in Kentucky to Liza J. McCarthy, born December 13, 1834. They were blessed with six children: Sarah E., John W., Richard M., James S., Mattie J. and one unnamed. Richard is a wide-awake young teacher, and has attended the State Normal School three terms. Husband and wife are members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Mr. Milburn has served as constable seven years, and has filled the office of justice twelve years. He is a Democrat and cast his first vote for Buchanan.

Obituary of Otis Inman
Influenza Was Fatal to Otis Inman,
Who Succumbed at Emergency Hospital
at Terre Haute
Burial at Mt. Pleasant

    Otis Inman succumbed to influenza Friday night at Terre Haute and the remains were brought to his wife's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Frye's home Sunday and services were held this morning at Mt. Pleasant Chapel.
    Otis Inman was one of twin sons born to Mr. and Mrs. Solomon (Bud) Inman November 20, 1887, in this city. After finishing his education, he qualified as a draftsman working in the office of the McMiIIan Stone Company for years, later going to Bloomington. He had not been in the best health, a short time ago going to Rochester, Minnesota, to consult the Drs. Mayo. So, when he was stricken with influenza two weeks ago, he was not able to combat the disease.
    He was highly respected, and there were very few who came in contact with him could resist being won by his happy disposition. He was a member of the Baptist church. He was united in marriage to Miss Anna Frye, of Peerless, and to them was born one little son, Harry. Surviving him are the wife who is very ill with the same disease, son Harry; his twin brother, Ola, who assisted in caring for him in his last illness; Oscar Inman, of Iowa; Ray Inman and Miss Ivy Inman.

Another Pioneer Gone

    Mrs. Nancy Pfaff, of Westfield, died at 12 o'clock Wednesday, merely of exhaustion. She had attained the ripe old age of 87 years. She and her husband emigrated to this state in the early part of the present century and settled near what is now known as Westfield and have resided there ever since. She has been the proprietress of the leading hotel in that town for the past fifteen years until about eight months ago, when her advanced age confined her to her bed and there she remained until death called her above. The remains were interred at the Friends cemetery south of Westfield this afternoon.

“PIONEER CITIZENS. A Sketch of the Early Days and Life of John Inman.”

    John INMAN was an early citizen of Bloomfield.
    Ireland, Scotland and Wales have produced some of the best citizens the British Empire ever had. Divinity, culture, arts, commerce engineering, science, worldwide missionary teachers, explorers, military geniuses, all have had good representation from these lands.
    In the County of Ireland—Wexford—nearest to Wales, about 1785, our subject was born. The “Irish colony” of Bloomfield were all from Wexford. Following the four Inmans—John, Robert, Benjamin and Samuel—(all of whom I knew) came the BREENS, DOCKFELLS, ERLTYS, EVELEIGHS, INMANS, PAINES, HOPKINS, LINNS, WARRENS and others. A few of the original emigrants, and many of their descendants, form part of this community—many of them are kin.
    It is interesting to note how neighbors and relatives follow each other in immigrating to foreign lands.
    The splendid Christian teaching the people of Wales and Wexford have received is a spot of light in the wilderness of ignorance and sin. In the eighth century, when the University of Paris was instituted, teachers were brought from Ireland. King Alfred in the eight century, when he established Oxford University in England, got teachers from Ireland. In that land, teachers succeeded in confirming the people in the “Ten Commandments,” the great foundation facts, in a manner the human race would do well to find out. 
    In 1829, COSLY, LEEAN & CO., Irish merchants in Louisville, KY, sent John INMAN to Bloomfield with a stock of general merchandise, much the largest ever then seen in the county. For near twenty years he was king of trade and finance in the little community.
    Venison hams and deerskins, with “fur skins,” formed a great part of the articles of trade. The hams had to be “smoked” to be marketable. Mr. INMAN built a brick smokehouse. The way the “natives” opened their eyes to see a brick smokehouse! Yes, and a brick floor to it, too! That floor was what the wonderment was about when the excavating was done for the K. P. building. Little Bloomfield didn’t just exactly know whether it had dug into the ruins of ancient Babylon or not. 
    About the year ‘31, Jerry STROPES and your very humble servant were hired to carry from that smokehouse and put in a wagon, a load of smoked hams to be sent to Louisville.
    “The tall go with the hide.” For ages, when a hide was sold, tall and horns (if any Horns) were weighed with the hide. Some great genius discovered that tall and horns didn’t make leather and must be left off. Here was a fuss between seller and buyer. Old Johnny TERRELL, and old hunter, hand borne in grief the cutting off of the tails from his deerskins—mediated deep revenge. Took the wire from an old tin bucket, slipped it in the tail of the next skin, INMAN took a new butcher knife from a pack in the store, sawed at the tail. No result, except a
well-turned edge on the knife. “I’ll give you twelve and one-half cents for your pewter knife, “ says TERRELL.
    The knife (a good one) was kept, valued, laughed over and worn out by the old pioneer.
    The last INMAN relic went down with the old building where the “Jones” block stands. That house was his residence; his store was where the K. P. building is.
    From childhood I heard the story of a secret stone vault under the house of Governor William H. HARRISON at Vincennes. By the time it got to this county, it had a large-sized mystery, a deep darkness clinging to it; hints of powder being in it, so the family could blow themselves up rather than fall into the hands of Indians. I have seen the house. Good healthy ghost stories float through the minds of people about it yet. A Greene County woman lives in it now. On being asked if she got to see any ghosts said, “Certainly I see the ghost of old General
HARRISON go up the back stairs every night.”
    Mr. INMAN was quite intelligent. Had studied medicine; would have been in the Battle of Waterloo if he had been an inch and a half taller, so as to be a British grenadier; was much inclined to be a “builder;” had a stone vault built in his cellar. So many dark hints, shaking of heads, (“money hid”) had haunted me through life, that when Mr. Al WILLIAMS took it down I tried to see what was in the cellar, but saw no money.
    Misfortune, death. All statistics show merchandising to be financially dangerous as well as alluring. After having served as trustee of the county Seminary and on the building committee for the courthouse now passed away—the one replaced by the present one—he met such misfortune as put him out of business. Two miles west of Linton he passed in eternity, about 1848. Died childless.
    Descendants of his brother, Robert, are now some of the very best citizens of the county.
W.D. RITTER. 

Louretta Corbin Inman

    Mrs. Louretta INMAN (nee) CORBIN was born March 24, 1874, died October 9, 1902.
    Mrs. INMAN had not enjoyed good health for several months previous to her death, but was only confined to her room a few days. Her death was a great shock to her many friends and relatives, as her sickness was not considered serious until the day previous to her death. She suffered great agony during her last sickness, but it was borne with much patience. She retained her reason until the last moment of her life, and not a dark cloud intervened to obscure her pathway to the mansions which her Savior had gone to prepare for her. She was one of those “who had come out of great tribulation and washed her robes in the blood of the lamb.” Mrs. INMAN had many friends, as was evidenced by the willingness of so many people who were so attentive and so anxious to do something to alleviate the awful suffering. She was a true, noble woman, faithfully discharging the duties of a wife, a mother, and a neighbor. She was always kind and good to everybody. If anyone did her a wrong she had a forgiving spirit, and was ready to forgive them were they to ask forgiveness.
    The funeral took place at ASHCRAFT Chapel, Friday, October 10. Many friends and relatives were present to pay their tribute of respect to the deceased, and to comfort the sorrowing ones, and many beautiful flowers were placed on the casket as tokens of esteem for her. Rev. CRANE, her pastor, in most feeling and touching words, paid a glowing tribute to her, and the last sad rites were performed in sad solemnity. He said he had been at her home and had conversed with her a number of times, and never talked with anyone that was any more wiling to converse on the subject of their soul’s salvation that was sister INMAN. She said she had erred in life, but was living a Christian now, and was fully trusting in Jesus as her Savior, this her friends all believe. She leaves a husband, father, mother, brothers, sisters, and a host of friends who deeply sympathize with the bereaved; but, the saddest of all is that a sweet little boy of two summers, who is too young to realize the awful solemnity of death, is left to pass through life without the care of a mother.

    Solomon R. Inman, one of the most prominent citizens of this place. died at the Bedford City Hospital last Saturday as the result of an operation, which he underwent on Thursday.
    He was born in Martin County, Indiana, October 3rd, 1862, departed this life March 2nd, 1907, age 44 years, five months and 29 days. He was united in marriage August 11th, 1881, to Ellen Baker, and to this union were born nine children all of whom survive except two, who preceded him to the better land. His wife, six sons and one daughter are left to mourn the loss of a kind and loving husband and father. He was prominently identified with the lodge and social life of his home neighborhood and was a man of steady habits, commanding respect of all with whom he associated. As a brother, husband and father, he was faithful, loving and devoted; as a neighbor, no one could be kinder.
    While Mr. Inman had never identified himself with any church, he was a believer in Christianity and was trying to live in such a manner as to show the world which side he was on. He called his family, also a Baptist minister, around his bed saying, "There is nothing in the way, all is clear with me.~ His mind was clear to the last, he made his will, also instructing his wife and children to what he wanted done. The funeral services were held from the Indian Creek church near Williams, Monday afternoon at 1 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Wilson Whitney, pastor of the First Baptist church of Bedford, and were in charge of the Bedford lodge of Odd Fellows. The remains were laid to rest in the cemetery at that place, to await the voice of Him that says, "I am the resurrection and the life."

A precious one from us has gone;
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love had given;
And though the body moulders here
The soul is safe in Heaven.

    Vinton INMAN, only son of Mr. and Mrs. James INMAN, who managed the Leland Hotel here several years ago, died at Churchs Ferry, N. D., one day last week from an operation for appendicitis. The remains were brought here Monday and taken to the cemetery on Kentucky Ridge for interment.
    Thursday, November 21, the people of the community of Churchs Ferry were shocked by the sad news that Vincent INMAN, the only child of Mr. and Mrs. James INMAN, had passed over the silent river of death. Just eight days before the final summons came, the young man was seized by a severe attack of appendicitis, and though everything that the doctors could accomplish for the sufferer was done, he steadily grew worse until the end. Sad though death always is, the circumstances attending the death of this splendid young man renders his taking away more pathetic because he was the idol of this mother’s heart and the reliance of his devoted father. Besides these he leaves behind a grief stricken young woman whom he was to have married before Thanksgiving Day. “Vint,” as he was known among his associates was born in Martin County, Indiana, December 6, 1882, and was therefore nearly twenty-five years of age at the time of his death. In March 1903, he moved with his parents to Benson County, North Dakota. He was a splendid example of the best type of young American manhood; honest to the highest degree, generous to a fault; one whose fair name the breath of scandal never tarnished. Mr. and Mrs. INMAN have lost a tender and devoted son, and one whose first thought was ever for their welfare, to whom he was devoted. Miss JOHNSON, to whom he was betrothed, has been deprived of one who would ever have proved a devote helpmate and a shelter from the storms and vicissitudes of life. To each of threes the hearts of the entire community go out in sympathy and most sincere sorrow. May He who reigns above give them strength in their hour’s need. FRIEND.
Churches Ferry, N. D., November 29, 1907.

Theodore Ingersoll

    The worthy agriculturist whose brief life history we here append first saw the light of day December 3, 1854, in Jefferson township, Greene county. He is recorded as the son of William and Margaret (Inman) Ingersoll. They, too, were natives of Greene county. William was the son of Daniel Ingersoll, who also led a very active life. He was a carpenter and built locks in the old canal; also built a number of mills, barns and houses, and did much to improve the early condition of the country. He moved west in 1868, going first to Iowa, then to Kansas, and in
the latter state died in 1872. He was a member of the old-line Whig party and later a Republican.
    William, the father of our subject, was raised in Greene county, and grew up taking an active part in the pioneer struggles of that day. One improvement aided him greatly, and that was the introduction of the public schools.
    Through this avenue he got a good start toward an education. In the fall of 1849 he went to California, crossing the plains with an ox team, and was six months on the road. He remained there about two years and then returned by way of the Isthmus of Panama and New York City to Greene county in 1852. He was a soldier in the Civil war, a member of the Thirteenth Indiana Battery, and was in all the engagements in which the battery participated. After his return from California in 1853 he was married to Margaret Inman, a native of Greene county and daughter of Robert Inman, whose birthplace was Ireland, and an early settler in the county. William
Ingersoll engaged in farming until 1868, and then went to Iowa, where he lived until 1872, and, returning, continued farming on a farm now owned by our subject. He died in 1879. To them were born five children -- Theodore, Oran, Jennie, Lizzie and Jerry -- all dead except our subject.
    Like his father, our subject was raised on the farm and obtained his education from the common schools. In addition to farming he also learned the stonecutter's trade, and worked at it a great deal. Among many jobs he helped on was the Greene county court house. In 1888 he moved onto his father's old home place in Fair Play township and went to improving it still more, though it already contained one hundred and thirty-six acres of good land, and has lived here ever since. In 1888 our subject was married to Belle Day, a daughter of George W. Day, an early settler in Putnam county, a native of Tennessee and a farmer. To them were born three
children -- Charles Leon, aged eighteen; Paul Hays, thirteen, and Mary, ten in 1908. Mr. and Mrs. Ingersoll are ardent members of the Christian church. He is also an Odd Fellow and belongs to Bee Hunter Lodge, No. 507.
    In politics he trains with the Republican party. He is at present supervisor of the gravel road system of Fair Play township. He is also on the advisory board. In 1895 he was elected township trustee of Fair Play township and served six years. He always takes a deep interest in politics and in all subjects affecting the general good of the country.

Raleigh Morton Buskirk

    Metaphorically speaking, we are told that success treads on the heels of every right effort, and amid all the theorizing as to the cause of success, there can be no doubt that this aphorism has its origin in the fact that character is the real basis in any field of thought or action. He of whom the biographer now writes is a successful farmer of Greene county, where he was born February 14, 1863, the son of Philander A. Buskirk, and a man whom his fellow citizens have honored with their fullest confidence and esteem. The subject's grandparents were Alfred and Lithia (Dayhoff) Buskirk, natives of Spencer county, Kentucky, who came to Greene county, Indiana, in 1823, settling in Highland township, among the first pioneers. Later they moved to
Smith township where Mr. Buskirk operated a pottery kiln for a number of years. He died in Highland township in 1829 and in 1835 his widow married Joseph Myers, with whom she removed to Butler county, Kentucky, where she died in 1845. Philander A. Buskirk, the subject's father, went to his mother in Kentucky, but when eighteen years old returned to his native community in Greene county, Indiana, living with an uncle until 1848, when he began farming in Smith township, soon owning a good farm of one hundred and sixty acres which he
divided up among his children, having moved to Worthington in 1902 and retiring from business. In August, 1862, the subject's father responded to the President's call for troops to suppress the great rebellion that was threatening the Union enlisting in Company H, Seventy-first Indiana Infantry, but shortly afterward he was transferred to the Sixth Indiana Cavalry. At the battle of Richmond, Kentucky, Mr. Buskirk was captured and paroled. His parole having expired while he was at Terre Haute, he again enlisted and was sent to the front, but was soon afterward captured a second time in Kentucky. However, he was exchanged and when his parole had expired went to Tennessee, later returning to Kentucky, thence to Georgia, where he took part in the campaign around Atlanta, and on December 15 and 16, 1864, was in the battle of Nashville against Hood's forces. He was honorably discharged June 21, 1865. The subject's father was first married to Nancy Elgin, April 9, 1848. Alfred D. was the only first child born to this union. His second wife was Martha Godfry, daughter of Elijah and Theodosia (Clark) Godfry. Six children were born to this union, R. M. Buskirk, our subject, being the youngest in the order of birth, having been raised on the same farm where he has ever since resided and from which he walked some distance to the neighborhood school during the winter months. His social business and religious life have always been lived in perfect harmony with the strict teachings of his just and wise parents. Mr. Buskirk is now the owner of a well improved farm of one hundred and sixty acres, all but eight acres of which are in cultivation. Although the superintendence of the work in his fields requires a great deal of thought and attention, his time is taken up very largely with the breeding of and raising live stock, principally horses and mules for the market, raising both draft and road horses, the former being Percherons. He not only feeds all the corn that the place produces, which is a very large amount, but he buys large quantities of corn which he also feeds, and as a consequence of his sound business principles and his judgment in the rotation of crops, together with systematic methods of tile drainage, the soil on his land is now in higher state of productiveness than when it came into his possession many years ago. It is interesting to note that his first tax receipts were only thirty-four cents; those for 1908 were for $163.50 cents. None other than a man of
extraordinary ability could have made the great success that has attended the efforts of Mr. Buskirk. Besides his farm of one hundred and sixty acres he owns valuable property in Linton.
    The subject was united in marriage in 1894 to Harriet Inman, daughter of Robert and Rhoda (Wines) Inman, natives of Ireland, the former having come to America when twenty-one years of age and settled in Greene county, Indiana, having spent his life on a farm and dying in 1864, at the age of sixty-one years, leaving a wife and seven children, one of whom, John, was soldier in the Union army, a member of the Sixty-seventh Indiana Volunteer Infantry, having died of disease in a St. Louis hospital while in the army. Mrs. Buskirk was for thirteen years a teacher in the public schools, five years of that time having been spent in Nebraska. There has not been any issue from this union, but the subject and wife are raising an orphan boy. Mr. Buskirk is a Republican and a member of the Baptist church, while his wife is affiliated with the Presbyterian church. No people living in the vicinity of Linton, Indiana, are spoken of in any higher terms than they, everyone admiring their upright lives and their congenial dispositions.

    John T. Dobins (sic), was born December 6, 1835, in Washington county, Indiana, was the son of Thomas and Nancy (Nicholson) Dobbins, the former a native of North Carolina and the latter of Virginia. Their union took place in Washington county, Indiana, but Thomas Dobbins was first married in Virginia, emigrating to Indiana in 1816, taking up a piece of wild land which he cleared and developed into a good farm. The father of Thomas Dobbins, Jacob, was born in County Cork, Ireland, and after coming to America was married in North Carolina,
and there ended his days.
    William Nicholson, maternal grandfather of our subject, a native of Wales, came to Virginia and there plied the trade of a wheelwright.
    Thomas Dobbins, our subject's father, was a wide-awake citizen and allied himself with the Whig party. He was a member of the "old school" Baptist church. There were born to him by his first wife seven children, viz.: Stephen Jacob, William, Calvin, Joshua, Delila and Sarah. By his second wife he became the father of three sons: Thomas, deceased; John T., our subject, and Peter J., a blacksmith at Salem, Indiana. 
    As a boy John had the many difficulties of the times to face. It was three long miles to the log school house and his educational opportunities were quite limited. When he reached the age of eight years his father died and it became necessary for John to work out by way of support, and at this time he made his home with his brother, continuing there until he attained the age of nineteen years. He began apprentice work at carpentry and worked for ten cents per day until 1861. In 1866 he was married to Emma Moode, of Richland township, Greene county. She was the daughter of William and Rachael (Cunningham) Moode, the former being a native of Pennsylvania and the latter of Ohio, their union occurring at Coshocton, Ohio. William Moode was a carpenter and farmer, and was one of the pioneer settlers in Greene county, Indiana. He was gathered to his fathers in 1862, his wife having preceded him in 1849. Six children graced this union: John lives at Topeka, Kansas; Richard, Mary Ann and Amanda are deceased; William F. is a hardware merchant in Whatcheer, Keokuk county, Iowa; Emma is the wife of our subject; William Moode was married twice, the second time to Mary Ann Cooper, a widowed lady whose home was in Washington county. She passed to rest in 1894, and was the
mother of three children, viz.: James, of Richland township, and Jane and Alice, both deceased.
    Mr. Dobbins and wife became the parents of nine children: William O. was for six years a teacher, and has now served for fourteen years in the United States army, filling the station of sergeant; James A. is a carpenter at Waterloo, Iowa; Mary Jane is the wife of M. V. Flater, of Cedar Falls, Iowa; Lillian was married to Ira Stallcup, both now deceased; Alvin, a carpenter in Bloomfield, was married to Stella Inman; Tobias, a carpenter, is at home; Jewell is the wife of Fred Burge, of Bloomfield; Nellie is a stenographer for Dr. C. E. Davis, and is at home. In this family we find a splendid illustration of the wholesome influence of a good home environment.
    In May, 1861, Mr. Dobbins enlisted in Company E of the Seventh Indiana Volunteer Infantry, which was mustered in for three months. On August 26th he re-enlisted, this time in Company D, which was formed at New Albany in the Thirty-eighth Indiana. From here he was sent to Elizabethtown, Kentucky, for the winter, after which he was sent to Spring Hill, that state, taking part in a great many open battles and spirited skirmishes, at such points as Edgefield Junction, Nashville, Franklin, Wildcat and Columbia. On the well known field of Shiloh
he was engaged for two days, and this was followed by the contests at Murfreesboro, Chattanooga, Bridgeport, Huntsville, Shelbyville and others. After joining General O.M. Mitchell he saw much close fighting in Alabama and Georgia, after which the company was returned to Nashville, Tennessee. Then came the sharp conflicts at Perrysville, Bowling Green and other points, together with stubborn contests under General Rosecrans.
    At Chickamauga Mr. Dobbins was wounded in the head and was confined to the hospital for two months. After getting back to the ranks the company took part in the fearful drama at Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge, Buzzard's Roost, Tunnel Hill, Resaca, Tallahassee, Peach Tree Creek, ending up before Atlanta. 
    It may be well to note that after the battle of Missionary Ridge Mr. Dobbin's company was veteranized, becoming a part of the Fourteenth Army Corps under George H. Thomas. They were held in reserve until the gap was made where General McPherson was killed July 28, 1864. After some engagements with Hood and a sharp fight at Jonesboro, Alabama, where they destroyed the railroads, they returned to Atlanta. They joined in Sherman's famous march to the sea, and ultimately participated in the grand review at Washington, D.C. He was discharged at Indianapolis, July 29, 1865.
    After the close of the war Mr. Dobbins returned to Greene county and engaged in contracting and carpentry. In conjunction with this he has engaged in the raising of fruit, finding this an interesting as well as profitable side line. In 1904 he removed to Bloomfield. He has filled the office of justice of the peace for twelve years, and is a thorough believer in the tenets of the Republican party. He is a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, and together with his companion is a regular attendant at the services of the Methodist church.
    This brief survey of the life of one of our hero patriots impresses us with a feeling of the great obligation we are under to these noble men who have preserved for us the heritage of the "land of the free."

    Joyce (INMAN) OLIPHANT was born January 11, 1865, and died March 12, 1922; aged fifty-seven years, two months and one day. On May 6, 1888, she was united in marriage with William O. OLIPHANT, to whom she was a faithful companion. She was a loving foster mother to the five children who came under her care by this union, all of whom preceded her in death. Her father and mother and two older sisters also preceded her to the great beyond. She has two sisters and a brother living; Faraby CRUM, of Owensburg; Naomi KINDER, of Bradley, Arkansas, and Mordica INMAN, of Oolitic. Joyce united with the Old School Baptist Church, December, 1888, in which faith she lived a faithful member until death. On March 12th, the sudden and unexpected end came to this Godly woman. She has many friends and relatives to mourn her departure. In her demise our little village and surrounding community has lost a citizen that few equal, and none surpass. She, having been connected with the hotel business for many years at Owensburg, won the love and admiration of many transient travelers. She was one of a strong personality, generous and kind disposition, the traveler as well as neighbors and friends was always met with a kind welcome and enjoyed the hospitality of her home which was excelled by none. In her departure, we speak of her as being dead, but, we know by the record she leaves that while the earthly tabernacle, the temporary dwelling place of the Holy Spirit, has returned to Mother Earth, we who knew her know that she not only lived with a hope of eternal life, but was in the faith unto the end. Therefore, we have reason to believe that the spirit which God gave has returned to the Father, there to enjoy eternal life in the home our Savior has prepared for the faithful. Although it was raining, and a very disagreeable day to be out, a large number of friends and relatives attended the services to pay respect to one who was loved and respected by all. The funeral services were held at the Church of Christ, T. M. Waggoner officiating.

    Hannah (LAMB) CORBIN was born in Greene County, Indiana September 3, 1849, and died at the home of her son, Raymond CORBIN, in Owensburg, March 15, 1926, aged seventy-six years, six months and twelve days.
    She was married to John B. CORBIN October 2, 1871. To this union eleven children were born, namely: Mrs. Sadie DOBSON, Mrs. Louretta INMAN (deceased), Mrs. Della HALL, Mrs. Iva WOLLAM, Charles, Herscel, Frank, Luther, Ira (deceased), Hovey and Raymond.
    For more than a half-century she and her husband toiled together under the disadvantages incident to pioneer life, enduring many hardships to establish and maintain a home and educate their children.
    At the age of thirteen years she was gloriously converted and united with the Methodist church, and continued a real Christian the remainder of her life. She believed there is a work for every Christian to do, and as long as her health would permit she was active, and willingly performed the duties of a Christian. We recall many times seeing her walk through heat and cold to fill her place as class leader. Her pew never was vacant. She contributed liberally and cheerfully to the cause of the Master.
    Her passing away will be keenly felt. In her home no one was more generous and hospitable than she. As a neighbor she was ever ready to lend a helping hand. No day was too cold, no night too dark, for her to go and administer to the needs of anyone, not even a tramp was turned from the door hungry. Her friends were numbered by her acquaintances. Someone has said, “The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world,” If this be true she indeed did her part. No kinder, truer, better mother ever lived. Her children and fiends rise up and called her blessed.
    She was preceded in death by her husband Dec. 15, 1925, and they leave to mourn the loss of a dear father and a loving mother, nine children, fifty grandchildren, fifteen great-grandchildren, and a host of other relatives and friends.

E. church since her childhood days and until recent years had been a regular attendant at the services of her church. Ill health had prevented her attendance of late years but she still retained her interest in the church activities and its success.

Obituary for Vonda Moulden Sipe

(First part of the obit is cut off.)

    At the age of two years in 1906 she was deprived by death of the loving care of a young mother and for several years was reared by her aged Grandmother Inman at Bloomfield, Ind. Some years later her father was married to Miss Anna Gainey and she was again cared for by her father and stepmother in their home in Indiana. At the age of seven years she with her parents went to the state of Florida, where her youthful days were spent, and where her education was received in the New Smyrna city schools. At an early age she accepted Jesus as her personal Savior and united in membership with the First Baptist Church of that city. 
    On March 9th, 1924 she was united in marriage with Stephan A. Sipe and returned to her native state of Indiana where she spent most of the remainder of her life with the exception of a few years again spent in Florida.

Katherine M. Inman Nov. 7, 1924 — April 5, 2008

    SPRINGVILLE — Katherine May Inman has gone to her rest, trusting in the promises of Jehovah God that there will be a resurrection to life in a perfect world. She left this life April 5, 2008, at home with the family she loved and raised around her.
    She was born in Lawrence County on Nov. 7, 1924, to Alex Thomas and Bertha Lena (Harmon) Woodward. She married Robert G. (Vic) Inman May 29, 1942, and he also sleeps in Jehovah’s memory, having died on Aug. 10, 2007, interrupting a marriage of 65 years. They were both members of the Bedford Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
    Katherine is survived by a brother, Burl G. Woodward (Lena) of Bedford, a host of Witness brothers and sisters who loved her dearly, two daughters, Saundra “Sandy” Arthur (Darrell) of Springville and Peggy Martin of Avoca-Eureka Road, Bedford; one son, Richard “Rick” of Bedford; five grandchildren, Robert “Bobby” Arthur (Beverly), Springville, Randall Arthur, Oolitic, Kelly Arthur, Bloomington, Maureen Workman (Jerry), Springville, and Melanie Howe (Rick), Springville.
