From Suffolk News-Herald 9/30/1937 regarding Liberty Springs Church:
Preaching services were conducted once a month. A Sunday school was kept up during the warm weather. The first pastor, the Rev. P. S. P. Corbin, M.D., lived near the schoolhouse, when the church was organized and probably at the organization. He was a physician as well as a minister. He was licensed to preach in the year 1865, and was ordained in 1866. Nature endowed him with a brilliant mind. He was well educated, and an attractive speaker. After resigning the church at the end of the conference year 1869, he went to Houma, Louisiana, in November 1869, to practice medicine. His family joined him in the early part of 1870. He contracted a severe case of malaria which resulted in the breakdown of his nervous system. He died in a hospital on October 12th 1873 at the age of 36 years. He was buried at the Masonic cemetery in New Orleans, LA.
