ANNA CORBIN (1895-1975)
Mrs. Anna Corbin was a former correspondent for the Emmons County Record for 48 years. It is believed that she was dean of all county news correspondents in North Dakota and probably enjoyed greater readership than any correspondent in the state.
Mrs. Corbin was born in the Glencoe area, Oct. 12, 1895, to Charles Henry and Missouri-Iowa (Corbin) Burtts and spent her entire life in that vicinity. She was married to George W. Corbin in 1912. Her husband died in 1932.
Mrs. Corbin's father was a drummer boy in the Civil war and later a regular army scout. He served under General George Custer but at the time of Custer's disastrous encounter with the Sioux and Cheyenne at the Little Big Horn he was detached from the command.
Lacking a formal education, Mrs. Corbin had educated herself through the medium of newspapers, magazines and more serious reading. Her first job away from home was working in the book-binding department of the Bismarck Tribune, about 1907; she recalls folding the pages of the Oscar H. Will Co. seed catalogue. She also worked for the Will company for a time.
Mrs. Corbin, descendant of pioneers and herself a complete personality, recorded that pulse beat, naturally and simply, in her column "Livona". A number of her poems and writings were published in various newspapers and periodicals, at one time contributing to several magazines.
The Corbins were the parents of three sons and a daughter: Burl, Albert, Jay and Alice.
