Mary Corbett March 30, 1901 Chilton Times
Died at the home of her son-in-law, Frank Speers, in the town of Rantoul, on Saturday, March 23, 1901, Mary Corbett aged 79 years. Mary Dooley was born in the County Limerick, Ireland, in 1822. In 1848 she left her native home and came to America, locating in Massachusetts. One month after arriving here she was married to John Corbett. She and her husband remained in Massachusetts until 1854 and then came west and located at Waukegan, Ill., where they remained until 1856 and then moved into the town of Rantoul onto the farm on which she resided at the time of her death.
On Jan. 2, 1869, the deceased was the victim of a serious accident. While returning from church in this city to her home, on that day, she was thrown from the rig in which she was riding and run over by a team following closely behind. Her arm was broken in three places and though every effort was made by Dr. Zielley, her surgeon, to save her arm, it was found necessary to amputate the same.
On Feb. 15, 1875, her husband passed to the world beyond. Mrs. Corbett managed the farm after her husband's death and reared her family as tenderly and as well as anyone in the community. She was a devout member of the mother church.
Her funeral took place on Monday morning from St. Augustine's church and was largely attended. Two sons and four daughters are left to mourn her death.
