Laura Wisner Corbin
Laura Wisner was born in the Bear Creek neighborhood, St. Clair County, April 29, 1867
Died at Osceola, February 15, 1929, age 61 years, 9 months and 16 days.
She was united in marriage with James Wesley Corbin, December 29, 1886.
To this union were born three children, one dying in infancy and two, a son C.A. Corbin and a daughter, Mrs. Grace Corbin Durbin, survive her.
Besides her devoted husband and the two above-mentioned children, she leaves nine grandchildren, four brothers and three sisters, and a host of other relatives and friends to mourn her departure.
She professed faith in Christ as her savior and united with the Bear Creek Methodist South Church in 1879. To this church she remained a faithful member to her death.
She was taken seriously ill at her home at the store conducted by herself and husband in Osceola, but was removed to her daughter's at the county farm, where she passed away. Pneumonia was the immediate cause of her death.
A short service was held at the county farm, conducted by Rev. H.E. Carpenter, pastor of the Christian Church in Osceola, a long time friend of the family, after which the remains were taken to the Bear Creek Methodist Church and the funeral sermon was preached by Rev. E.F. Burton, the pastor. The body was laid to rest in the cemetery by the church.
She was born within less than a mile of this church, died at Osceola; thus her earthly life was spent within a territory comprising less than six miles, but the influence of her life has extended over a very large territory, for all who knew her loved and respected her for the faithfulness and integrity of her life. She was a true wife, a faithful and devoted mother and a friend to all.
She being dead yet speaketh."
Daughter of John Adam Wisner & Lora Clark Wisner. Laura is the twin sister of Lora Wisner Leiber
