Corbett, William Lucas - 1895

On Wednesday morning the passer by on the street saw the insignia of Death hang on the front door of the Judge Corbett residence.  Without further information this was sufficient to announce the death of Judge Corbett.  It was known the night before that the end was at hand.  He expired about 10 o'clock Tuesday p. m.  The most tender and constant attention as given him from the time he was stricken with paralysis – just two weeks before – but all was in vain.

The members of his family were constantly by his side.  While death was not unexpected the community was shocked that it came so quick.  In obedience to the holiest impulse of human nature we reverently pause to contemplate the profoundest mystery of human destiny – the mystery of death.

Judge Corbett, whose death we deplore today, was a man whom Plutarch might have described or VanDyke delineated: massive, rugged and robust; in motion show in speech sonorous and deliberate; grave in aspect; serious in demeanor; of antique and heroic mould; the incarnation of force, energy and power.  Not perplexed by moral abstractions nor mental subtleties, he possessed that assemblage of qualities which makes success in practical affairs inevitable.  He was thorough lawyer, seizing the leading points quickly and with a strong grasp.  His oral arguments were clear, pointed and forcible.  He was wonderfully wrapped up in his profession.  He loved the law, and in the delirium of his last sickness his mind dwelt upon cases and his briefs.

One characteristic of his life the younger members of the Clarion Bar will long remember with tender emotions.  This was his constant willingness to assist them in their cases and law points without recompense or regard.  He delighted to spend hours and even days in going over the law and discussing it with those who dropped in for that putpose [sic].  If one had judge Corbett’s opinion in his favor he felt well armed.  Space will not permit at this time to make an extensive reference to this well known and prominent citizen, but in another issue we hope to give further detail.

Judge Corbett as born on what is now the Cooper farm, immediately east of Clarion borough, February 12,1826.  His education was what the public schools of his day and the Clarion Academy afforded.  When about eighteen years of age he commenced reading law with D. W. Foster, in Clarion.  He was admitted to the Bar early in 1847; and at the time of his death, he was the oldest attorney in actual practice at this bar.  The first year after his admission to the bar he was elected district attorney for Clarion county.

He has always resided at Clarion.  He was a member of the Constitutional Convention of Pennsylvania which framed the present constitution of the state.  He represented this Senatorial district in the State senate in 1876-78.  When Judge B. Knox died, Judge Corbett was appointed by Governor Pattison to fill the vacancy until the next ensuing election in November, 1885.  Judge Corbett was the only child of Isaac Corbett and the father on Don C. Corbett, Esq. present district attorney.  A meeting of the Clarion Bar has been called to take appropriate action in the matter of Judge Corbett’s death and funeral.  The funeral takes place at 10 o'clock on Friday.
~ Clarion Jacksonian, 07-Feb-1895

The announcement of the death of Hon. W. L. Corbett, at his residence on Main street, this place, shortly after 10 o’ clock last Tuesday night, will be read with sorrow by thousands of people of Clarion county, as well as throughout the state.  During the later part of the January term of Court, Judge Corbett suffered a slight stroke of paralysis from which he never recovered.  Although everything that medical science could suggest was done for his relief, and he rallied temporarily at times, he sank rapidly and peacefully away as above stated.  Judge Corbett was one of the ablest jurists in Western Pennsylvania, and man honored alike for his learning and unswerving integrity.  He ably represented this district in the State Senate, 1877 and 1878 and on the death of the late Judge Knox was appointed President Judge of this district, a position which he filled during his term of office with much acceptance, judge Corbett was about 69 years of age, and leaves a widow and one son, District Attorney, Don C, Corbett, who was associated with his father in the practice of law at the time of the latter’s death.  The bereaved family have the condolence of the entire community in their bereavement.  The funeral has been arranged to take place from the family residence, Main street, at 10 o’clock, Friday, Feb’y. 8th.

Rimer, David Ayers - 1895

D. A. Rimer was born in Northumblerland county of this state March 4, 1815.  He came of that hardy race of early pioneers, who, leaving behind his house, friends and civilization, started for what was to be in the far west.

His parents, after looking about for some time finally settled in what is now Clarion county, so that Maj. Rimer, as he is more familiarly known, has been a resident of this county for nearly seventy-five years.  A Presbyterian by profession, he was for some time a member of that church at Licking and for the last 40 years at Rimersburg.

In politics he was a Democrat of the old line and witnessed and remembered the changes and evolution of that party.  In the church, in politics and in his dealings among and with his neighbors, it may truly be said of him “He was just a man.”  That he was a kindly man was evidenced by the large number of friends and neighbors who followed his remains to his last resting place in the old Bethesda graveyard, last Sunday.

As he has faced life, so he met death, bravely, calmly, and with an unfaltering faith in that God who had been his through youth, manhood and old age.  The coincidence of his death coming so near that of Judge W. L. Corbett, reminds one of the fact that the men who took part in the founding of this county are rapidly passing away.
~ Clarion Jacksonian, 07-Feb-1895

Maj. D. A. Rimer, a resident just outside the borough of Rimersburg, died last Friday, aged almost 80 years, and the funeral was held Sunday.  Mr. Rimer had been for many years indentified [sic] with the interests of Rimersburg and vicinity, and besides bringing up a large and useful family he also accumulated a considerable amount of wealth of the world.  Dr. J. T. Rimer, formerly of Clarion and Harry M. Rimer, a law student in Hindman & Hockman’s office, are two of his sons.

We regret to be called upon to announce the death of David A. Rimer, of Toby township, near Rimersburg, which occurred rather unexpectedly on Friday last.  Deceased had been a resident of this county for 75 years and at the time of his death had attained the ripe old age of about 80 years.  He was a man of sterling qualities and unquestioned integrity and for many years a consistent member of the Presbyterian church.  He leaves a widow and family of eight children, mostly grown to manhood and womanhood, viz.: Dr. J. T. Rimer, of Braddock, formerly of this place, J. P. Rimer, of Sligo; Mrs. Fleming of Ashland, Ky.; Mrs. Grubele, and A. J. Rimer, of Rimersburg; Harry M, Rimer, of Clarion, and D. E. and E. S. Rimer, who are still at home.  All of the children were in attendance at the funeral, which occurred on last Sabbath when the remains were laid to rest in Bethsaida <sic> church graveyard.  H bereaved family and friends have the heartfelt sympathy of many friends in their sorrow.

Landerer, Benedick (Mrs.) - 1895

While we were champion or nearly so at the last registry, we will not be able to make that claim the next time, as there have been five deaths in this small township of late.

The first was the wife of Wm. Ginkel of Snyderburg.  She was sickly for a long time, well respected by her neighbors, but her death was sudden and unexpected.  Mr. Ginkel is a hard worker and industrious.  She leaves a husband and four children.

The second is Wm. Moore, near Snydersburg.  His family are all grown up.  He is well known and highly respected citizen and was sick over two years.

The third was Jacob Neuland, a good neighbor and good citizen and was noted for his cleverness.  He was about 43 years of age.

The fourth was Frank Snyder, a whole souled, good natured and hard working fellow of about 40 years, died of consumption and leaves a wife and four small children.

The fifth is Mrs. Benedick Landerer, a highly respected and well known lady.  She was well up in 70 years, of strong constitution and was always ready to do a good turn to her many friends and neighbors, whenever called on.

Thus passes away five of as good citizens as we had in the township and their worth was shown by the large attendance at the funerals.  (Knox Township Correspondence)

Frank Snyder died at his home in this township on Sunday, January 17, 1895 from lung trouble superinduced by an attack of the grip last winter.  Mr. Snyder was 42 years of age and industrious peaceable citizen, a good neighbor and a kind friend, and a man who was highly esteemed by all who knew him.  He leaves a widow and four children who have the heartfelt sympathy of many friends to their bereavement.  The funeral, which occurred at St. Michael’s Cemetery, Fryburg, on Wednesday, January 30, was the largest that has ever taken place in this neighborhood.
