The History of Oceana County, Michigan
H. R. Page & Co., Chicago - 1882

           LYMAN B. CORBIN.-Among the many who have contributed
	 their energies toward making Hart what it is and what 
	 it hopes to be, there is, perhaps, no one more entitled 
	 to take a front seat than the subject of this sketch. 
	 He was born in Chenango County, N.Y., April 15, 1814. 
	 Early learning every department of the business con-
	 nected with the gristmill, we find him as early as 1845 
	 erecting a large stone mill at Dryden, N.Y. In 1862 he 
	 settled in Hart, Oceana County, and the same year built 
	 the first gristmill in this part of the county. Later 
	 we find him exerting a powerful influence toward secur-
	 ing the county seat and railroad in Hart. He was twice 
	 married; first, in 1837, to MARY A. De LONG, who died 
	 September 8, 1852; second, August, 1853, to SALLY A. 
	 MESSINGER, who died April, 1879. He died August 22, 1880, 
	 leaving six children - Mrs. N. MILLER, Mrs. M. A. LUTHER, 
	 Mrs. W. HART, WEBB, FRED. L. and FRANK. FRED. L. CORBIN 
	 was born in Tompkins County, N.Y., February 3, 1858. 
	 Married, February 10, 1881, to LAURA COLLINS, who was 
	 born in Hart Township, June 2, 1862.
