married Eli Corbin on June 5, 1843. Mother of Elizabeth Sophia, Charles Lyon, Frank Taintor, William Horace, Lillian Abby, and Abel Rathbone.
Death of Mrs. E.L. Corbin
Mrs. Abigail Taintor Corbin, died at the family residence in this village early Monday morning, after a lingering illness.
Mrs. Corbin was born in 1820, in the town of Colchester, Conn. Both her father, Captain Newhall Taintor and her mother, Ruth Smith, were of old Puritan stock, her maternal grandfather having been an officer in the Revolutionary army. She was educated in Bacon Academy, Colchester, and among her schoolmates were Lyman Trumbull and Morrison Waite, afterward Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. In 1843 she was married to Eli L. Corbin, of McDonough, where she lived for thirty years, removing to Oxford in 1873.
Mrs. Corbin was a woman of unusual intellectual gifts and of strong Christian character and generous sympathies. She was a devoted member of the Congregational church. Mrs. Corbin was the mother of six children, of whom Elizabeth died in childhood, and Abel in early manhood.
Charles L. and William H., prominent members of the legal profession in New Jersy. The daughter, Lillian, is the wife of Prof. E.R. Payson, of Rutgers College, and the other son, Frank T., is a merchant in this village. The sympathy of the community will be with them and with the bereaved husband, who after more than half a century of married life, is deprived of his beloved companion. Her death removes one more of those steadfast, conscientious, unselfish Puritan characters, of which only too few remain among us.
Funeral services will be held at her late residence on Wednesday, at elven o'clock. (Published in the Oxford Times Feb. 20, 1894)
