Notes:
The Corbin Mausoleum was erected where Woodson Elementary School is located today in Crisfield, Md. After vandalism persisted, the urn holding the ashes of Mrs. Corbin was relocated to the Corbin Memorial Library in 1934. The library closed May 18, 2016 and a new Crisfield Public Library opened June 4, 2016. Mrs. Corbin's urn remained in the former library until Apr 2018 when it was transferred to the Bradshaw & Sons Funeral Home.
On May 17, 2019 the urn holding the cremains of Lilyan Stratton Corbin were returned to the former Corbin Memorial Library and placed back in the niche over the former circulation desk by Crisfield Mayor Barry Dize. The urn had been held at Bradshaw & Sons Funeral Home a few blocks away while the building was refurbished for the Crisfield Arts & Entertainment Project and to make space for a city government meeting room. The building is now the Corbin Studio & Gallery, located at 4 East Main Street, Crisfield, Md.
Lillian's stage name was Lilyan Stratton. She was the author of four books: Reno, Homing, The Wife's Lessons, and the Feminine Philosophy.
