Biography

Hannah was born in 1849. She passed away in 1926.

Daughter of Hiram and Rebecca (Hardin) Lamb.

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 friends 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.
