Carmi Lattin, a life long resident of Chemung county, died Wednesday morning at 8:30 o’clock at the family home, No. 514 West First street after an extended illness, aged seventy-seven years. He is survived by two sons, Charles F., of Toledo, O., and Louis N., of Corning; a daughter, Mrs. L. L. Beebe, of Washington, D. C.; a sister, Mrs. Mary W. Egbert, of this city, and a brother Sidney Lattin of Illinois. The funeral was held at the Millport Methodist Episcopal church Friday at 2 p.m. The burial was in the Millport cemetery.

Mr. Lattin was taken ill about the middle of January, but he recovered from the attack of the grip which he suffered at the time. As soon as he regained a part of his strength he ventured out on the street, about three weeks ago. The cold air brought on an immediate relapse, and Mr. Lattin had to be assisted back to his home. From that time on he was confined to his bed, his health gradually failing until dissolution came.

Carmi Lattin was born in the town of Veteran, Chemung county, in 1839, the son of Ransom and Alma Crawford Lattin. His father was a farmer and Carmi Lattin was brought up on his father’s farm. He succeeded to his father’s farm upon the death of his father, and resided on the farm which he operated until five years ago, when at the age of seventy-two years he gave up farming and removed to this city, where he made his home with his aged sister, Mrs. Mary Esbert (or Egbert as stated before), eighty-five years old. In apartment in the same house formerly occupied by his son, Charles S. Lattin, now of Toledo, O.

Carmi Lattin was very successful as a farmer and a business man. He held many positions of trust in the community in which he so long resided. He served as supervisor of the town of Veteran for a number of years and he had served the town as assessor, collector and in other capacities. His advice was much sought by his neighbors in business matters and not infrequently he was called upon to act as arbiter in settling disputes between neighbors. Although not a lawyer, he was frequently called upon to draw up contracts, wills and other papers for residents of the vicinity in which he resided. His neighbors had implicit confidence in him. Carmi Lattin was known and admired as a man of probity and integrity. His life enriched the lives of others with whom he came in contact. In his later years Mr. Lattin was a not infrequent visitor to Corning, where he went to visit his son, Lewis N. Lattin, mayor of Corning. He was well-known to many persons there and highly respected. Mr. Lattin married nearly fifty years ago, Mary C. Thompson, daughter of Daniel and Elvira Thompson. Mrs. Lattin died in this city, October 1914.
