Jansen, Marjorie. Corbin & Charlotte Irwin, typescript, 1996
Marjorie is relative of Corbin Irwin who I corresponded with.
Corbin Wagle Irwin was born on the 22nd of February 1847 in Union County, Ohio. He was named after a neighbor, Corbin Wagle, who appears on the same page of the 1850 census. (Both names were spelled "Corban"in Census records.
Corbin moved with his family to Lawrence County, Illinois when he was ten. Shortly thereafter, his three brothers next older in age died within the same month, leaving Corbin almost isolated in the middle of the family, with his remaining brothers more than ten years older and ten years younger. According to family tradition, his oldest brother, John, enlisted in the army soon after the outbreak of the war in 1861, so it is no wonder that Corbin followed as soon as he could.
He was sixteen years old when he enlisted in the cavalry during the Civil War, but he gave his age as 18. He later told his granddaughter [Mary Haugen] that he was able to convince them he was older because he had a gray streak in his hair. He also told her he had a silver plate in his head [and let her feel it]. Perhaps this accounted for the gray streak. There is no mention of a head injury in his military file, so it must have occurred either before or after the War.
Corbin reported for duty with Captain Goodenow's Company, 16th Regiment Illinois Cavalry on June 2nd, 1863 at "Claimont." [Claremont was just a few miles away in Richland County, Illinois.] He was described as 5'9" with fair complextion, blue eyes and light hair.
Seven months later, on January 3rd, 1864, Corbin was captured at Jonesville, Virginia. He was sent to Richmond, where he was hospitalized at Belle Isle on January 23rd for "rubeola" [measles] He was released from the hospital, but returned the same day to be treated for "convalescent smallpox." He is described in these records as a "farmer, age 17." He was returned to the Union forces on March 24th, probably in a prisoner exchange, and then hospitalized at Annapaolis. His problem may have been simply hunger, as his records there say there is no disease, but debility, and he needs lots of food and rest. The first treatment is "2 oz Whiskey."
"I remember Grandpa telling Civil War stories to Joy and me. As I remember, Corbin wanted to enlist in the Union Army as one brother had, but was refused because of his age. Then he pointed out the streak of gray hair above his forehead, so was finally accepted, even though he was under the accepted age. At some time his horse was shot from under him and he was injured at some time. He was wearing a silver plate in the top of his skull, from an injury. He was also captured and was given very little food." Mary Irwin Haugen
He was allowed to visit home that fall and was late returning, so marked AWOL. He was finally mustered out on August 19, 1865, age really 18. For the rest of his life, he was active in veterans groups, attending conventions both for the GAR [Grand Army of the Republic] and the Ex-Prisoners of War. In 1890, he applied for and was granted a pension for his army service. The Sumner Press recorded his Veteran activities.
4 Aug. 1891 [Chauncey] Squire Carver and Corbin Irwin attended the GAR meeting Saturday night.
9 Aug. 1900 [Sumner] C.W. Irwin attended the Civil War Reunion.
21 Aug. 1902 Corbin Irwin attended GAR reunion in Sumner. It was the 16th reunion of the 15th mustering district. 234 attended.
29 Oct. 1908 C.W. Irwin returned Sunday from White Hall where he attended a reunion of ex-prisoners of the Civil War, and from accounts seen in the White Hall exchanges a splendid time was enjoyed by these battle-scarred veternas. [See newspaper article Ex-Prisoners Reunion]
9 Sep 1909: C.W. Irwin attended the Sumner veterans' reunion August 24-26
31 Oct. 1912 C.W. Irwin returned from the GAR reunion in Charleston.
Corbin Wagle Irwin married Charlotte Alice Lathrop on 13 June, 1872 [see Lathrop Family]. The marriage was performed by his uncle, Reverend William Wagy. This was just two months before the death of his father, James. Corbin worked as a carpenter and farmer. It is not known exactly where he and his family lived during the first few years of his marriage, but apparently it was near Sumner, as that is where his son, Otto, was born in 1876. Their next child, Earl, was born in 1878 in Wayne County.
On December 1st, 1879, he purchased a farm in Four Mile Township in Wayne County, Illinois, about fifty miles southwest of Petty Township [The legal description was: N1/2 of SE 1/4 of Section 3, Town 3S, Range 5E, Four Mile Township, Wayne County, Illinois.] Soon thereafter, several of Charlotte's brothers also purchased land there, where some of the Lathrop descendants are still living today (1996). The 1880 census found Corbin and Charlotte on their farm with two young sons, Otto and Earl and Charlotte's brother, Ezra.
- Irwin, Corbin 33 farmer
- Charlotte 27 keeping house
- Otto 4
- Everet 2
- Lathrop, Ezra 34 farmer
Their family continued to grow, with the addition of a girl, Flora Maude, on June 2nd, 1880. She was their third daughter, but the first to survive. Three years later, twin girls made their appearance on the 29th of July 1883. They were named Cora Mae and Dora. Dora died at the age of 15 months. A son, Charles, joined the Irwins on the 7th of January 1887, but he lived only 18 months.
Shortly after the birth of their daughter, Gertrude in April 1889, Charlotte became very ill. Corbin's mother, Mary Irwin, came over from Lawrence County and stayed about a month to help care for her.
4 Jul 1889 Aunt Mary Irwin has returned from her son's in Wayne County where she was called several weeks ago to see her daughter-in-law, who was dangerously ill at the time.
Corbin and Charlotte then went to Petty township [Lawrence County] where they visited family and friends while Charlotte recuperated.

22 Aug 1889 Mrs. Lottie Irwin, who is making an extended visit here for her health was taken suddenly worse Saturday.
5 Sep 1889 Mrs. Charlotte Irwin is convalescent.
Soon after this, Corbin moved his family back to Lawrence County, where they rented a place near the old family property [the area called Pasturefield].
3 Jul 1890 [Pasturefield] A few of the many friends of Mrs. Charlotte Irwin honored her with a surprise party and presented her with some valuable gifts.
On August 22, 1892, Corbin sold the Wayne County farm, and that fall he bought the house of Thomas Lytle in Pasturefield. In November, the Irwin family moved in, just a few weeks after the birth of their youngest child, Albert, on October 27, 1892. Corbin continued to do carpentry whenever work was available. The following items appeared in The Sumner Press or the Rural Republican.
19 Sep 1890 [Pasturefield] Dewis Earnhart and Corbin Irwin are erecting a barn near Birds RR
31 Oct 1890 [Pasturefield] Corbin Irwin is erecting a house for Weed White in Jasper County RR

3 Jan 1901 [Chauncey] A.A. Correll is making repairs on his dwelling. Corbin Irwin of Pasturefield is doing the carpenter work.
In 1899, Charlotte became seriously ill again [possibly with pneumonia] and despite the nursing efforts of her sister, Catherine Lathrop Stine, died on the 18th of March 1899. She was 47, and her youngest child, Albert, was only six. Catherine then became ill and died about a month later, thus leaving both families motherless within a brief period of time.
The Stine and Irwin families continued to visit each other frequently after the deaths of Charlotte and Catherine. These items are from The Sumner Press.
16 Jun 1904 [Hazel Dell] Gertie and Bertie Irwin called on Frank Stine Sunday.

- Irwin, Corbin b. Feb. 1847, 53, OH, carpenter
- Earl E. Apr 1878 22, IL at school 9 months
- Flora Jun 1880 19 IL

- Bert Oct. 1892 7 IL at school 6 months
The last column above is for the number of months at school. [Is it possible that Earl was attending college for nine months? There is no mention of it elsewhere.]
Within the next few years, Earl, Flora and Cora had all moved away, and in 1904, both Earl and Flora presented Corbin with grandchildren. He began to court a widow, Mrs. Diana Olden Wagner and they were married in October 1905. [License #595, obtained 18 October 1905, recorded in Register 2, page 201, Lawrenceville, IL] The following items both appeared in the 26 October 1905 issue of The Sumner Press.
Marriage Licenses . . . Corbin W. Irwin of Petty, Mrs. Diana Wagner of Richland County. Last Thursday at the home of C.W. Irwin in Petty Township occurred his marriage with Mrs. Diana Wagner of Germantown, Richland County. Squire Joseph Rosborough of Chauncey performed the ceremony. The Press extends best wishes and congratulations to this worthy couple for a happy married life.
There is a mention in the newspaper of a party in 1906 attended by "Corbin Irwin and his wife," but soon thereafter, it became obvious that there was not much togetherness. During 1907, 1908 and 1909 Corbin made many trips (alone) away from home, visiting daughters, Flora, Cora and Gertrude, reunions, and serving on jury duty in Lawrenceville. Diana also visited friends and family in other counties. The following item appeared in The Sumner Press in 1909:
4 Feb. 1909 Lawrenceville: The suit of Corbin W. Irwin for divorce was dismissed.
The couple remained separated, and finally in 1911:
Circuit Court: Corbin Irwin vs Diana Irwin, divorce decree granted as prayed.
Meanwhile, other events in Corbin's life were being recorded in the Sumner newspaper.

1 July 1909 Assessment Roll Corbin Irwin, $59.\
In November of 1909, Corbin's son Earl, moved to western North Dakota to take up a homestead. Evidently the youngest son, Bert, accompanied Earl, as "two sons" were mentioned below. Corbin's daughters were all living in Champaign County. Also, his oldest son, Otto, moved to Washington early in 1910, leaving Corbin with no family members in Lawrence County. This was a perfect time for another, and very long, trip.
24 Mar 1910 Corbin Irwin left last Thursday morning for a visit with his two sons in North Dakota and may go to Washington before he returns [The Sumner Press]
Cora left Champaign and accompanied Corbin for the first leg of this trip, then filed for a homestead herself. See the "Letter from the West" written by Corbin in August and reprinted in the Sumner newspaper. He finally returned home in November.
10 November 1910 Corbin W. Irwin returned Saturday noon from a trip through the Northwest where he visited his son, Earl, in Dakota and in Washington, visited the families of D.E. Wagner and Harvey Irwin. He reports all doing well, and was pleased with his trip and the country generally. [The Sumner Press]
About this time, his youngest daughter, Getrude, who had been living in Champaign County, [near Flora and Cora] married William Mangus and moved to Chicago, so Corbin's next trip was to visit them.
12 Jan 1911 C.W. Irwin is in Chicago visiting his daughter, Mrs. Gertrude Mangus [The Sumner Press]
He also visited Four Mile Township in Wayne County, where so many of his Lathrop relatives had moved.
16 Feb. 1911 C.W. Irwin has been visiting relatives and friends in Wayne County.
Three years later, Corbin was again in North Dakota visiting Earl and Cora [who had just married Henry Bowen], when he died suddenly on the 11th of February 1914, just before his 67th birthday. The following is a reminiscence by Mary Irwin Haugen, Earl's daughter who was five years old at the time.
"The families had been to our place that day, February 11, 1914, to celebrate Mama's birthday, and had gone home. He went to the barn to visit with Papa who was milking the cows, but got tired, so went to the house and lay down to rest. Soon he called, 'Jubie, Jubie!" Mama went and raised his head up and he was gone. I don't think I'll ever forget that. He had come out to visit. I remember him telling stories of the Civil War and so on. Papa went back on the Great Northern Railroad with him and he was buried in the Lathrop Cemetery next to Charlotte Lathrop Irwin, my grandmother."
Corbin and Charlotte are buried in the Lathrop section of Leach Cemetery, Petty Township, Lawrence County, Illinois. Six of their ten children survived them.

Charlotte Lathrop Irwin and her husband moved to Wayne County, Illinois in the late 1870s, purchasing a farm in Four Mile Township. In 1880, her brother Ezra was living with them. During the following years, several other family members also moved to Four Mile Township, making it a large Lathrop settlement.
Catherine [Katie] Lathrop Stine and her family lived in Hazel Dell in Petty Township, not far from the Irwins, and her family was particularly close to Charlotte Irwin's family when the latter moved back to Lawrence County. When Charlotte became ill in 1899, Catherine took over the job of nursing her. Soon after Charlotte's death in March, Catherine also became ill, and died the following month.
Their families remained close, especially Stine daughters, Pearl and Perna and the Irwin girls, Flora, Cora and Gertrude.
The Stine family in the 1900 census consisted of:
- Stine, Frank b. Nov. 1851 48
- Pearl Dec. 1876 23
- George Feb. 1879 21
- Harry Apr 1883 17
- Perna Sep 1885 14
- Corrie Oct 1888 11
- Bernard Sep 1882 7
Following are a few excerpts from The Sumner Press [Sumner, IL] regarding the Lathrop family.
3 May 1883 [Petty] Joel Lathrop was racing on horseback at night with some other boys. He was thrown and knocked out. He will recover. He was scolded by the doctor.
11 Sep 1884 George Lathrop married Ella petty in Sumner. Both are from Petty
12 Sep 1889 The funeral of Emma Smith nee Lathrop was last Sunday
13 Jan 1898 [Pasturefield] Joel Lathrop of Wayne County visited his sister, Mrs. Stine, last week.
14 Apr 1898 [Pasturefield] Mrs. Kate Stine and daughter, Pearl, visited Charles Lathrop of Richland County last week.
22 May 1902 Henry Lathrop (brother of Levi, uncle of Charlotte) celebrated his 85th birthday in Germantown, Richland County. Attending were 8 children, 44 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren.
Gertrude Irwin was born in Four Mile Township in Wayne County, Illinois on the 8th of April 1889. The family returned to Lawrence County when she was very young. Her mother's death occurred just before Gertie's tenth birthday. . . .
When she finished high school, she went to stay with one of her sisters in Champaign County. She probably found work there . . . She was back in the Pasturefield home in November 1907. She moved back to Champaign County and remained there until she married William Mangus and moved to Chicago. Six months later, they moved to Deshler, Ohio. This writer has no other information about Gertrude, except that her first husband died, and she married Roy Birrer. There were no children from either marriage. She died 22 July 1929, just three months after her 40th birthday.
Albert Irwin was the youngest in the family of Corbin and Charlotte. He was born on the 27th of October, 1892 in Petty Township, Lawrence County. When his mother died, he was only six years old. Unlike his sisters, who were often mentioned in local news, Bertie got his name in the paper only on rare occasions.
29 Oct. 1908 [Pasturefield] Bert Irwin went Monday to visit his sister, Mrs. House, near Champaign.
Bert had just turned 17 when his brother Earl, moved to North Dakota in 1909. Bert went with him to look for work in that area. When the census was taken the following year, Bert was not with Earl's family.
His niece, Mary Irwin Haugen writes: "Somehow, I remember a tall young man being at our place at times and I think that must have been Albert W. [Uncle Bert]. I do remember my folks talking about him trying to find work, which was almost impossible at that time. He did work on the Great Northern railroad and then into Montana to the copper mines in Butte." Albert Irwin died in Butte on December 19, 1943 at the age of 51.

Pioneers of Johnson County, Indiana, 1973
Ebenezer & Mildred Johnson Harbert - Ebenezer Harbert was born July 1, 1837, and died December 6, 1911. He was the son of Oliver & Mary A. Wheeler Harbert. His father was born September 21, 1806, in Pennsylvania, and died in Clark Township, Johnson County, Indiana, September 20, 1887. The Harbert family were among the early pioneers who established homes in Clark Township. They were charter members of the Clarksburg (now Rocklane) Christian Church, which was organized in 1846.
Mildred Ann Johnson Harbert, Ebenezer's wife, was born May 24, 1848 and died July 24, 1934 at her home in Whiteland, Indiana, where she had lived her last years as a widow. She was the daughter of Henry and Ellen Harmon Johnson. Her father was born in Kentucky April 30, 1820, and her mother was born May 20, 1826.
In August 1862 Ebenezer Harbert volunteered to serve in the Civil War and became a member of the 70th Regiment, Indiana Volunteers. He was honorably discharged at Nashville, Tennessee, in June 1865.
Ebenezer & Mildred Ann Johnson were married May 2, 1866. Five sons and two daughters were born to them, namely: Curtis M. born February 24, 1867 (married Laura Kinnick and later Ada Vest); Clay A. born December 27, 1868 (married Josie Combe); Minnie L., born January 11, 1871 (married Will Keeling); Ebenezer D., born January 7, 1874 (married Lucy Keeling); William N., born September 14, 1876 (married Elzora Draper); Samuel B. born November 26, 1878 (married Jean Craig); and Laura E., born February 8, 1881 (married Daniel W. McClain).
Ebenezer Harbert was a farmer as was his father, in the "Glade Church Community," northwest of Whiteland. Both Mr. and Mrs. Harbert were members of the Rocklane Christian Church. He was a member of the James Wagner Post No. 177 at Greenwood, Indiana. His first vote was cast for President Abraham Lincoln, whom he admired greatly.
Ebenezer's last days on the farm were spent in writing reminiscences in poetry. They were often humorous and conveyed the customs of that day in a neighborly fashion. Writing under the pen name of "Hard Tack," he always had a thought in rhyme at regimental reunions as well as the gatherings of correspondents of the Franklin Democrat newspaper. Some of his articles were published in the Macon, Illinois Herald.
The Harberts were always interested in common folk who contributed to the good life about them. They were by nature kind to all.
Two of Ebenezer's brothers, Samuel B. and Marine L. Harbert found taht the name was originally Herbert and some of the family changed the spelling accordingly. But Ebenezer continued with the way his father spelled his name.
Only a few of the cousins are living today, namely, Jean Harbert, Jane Sutter, Laddie Harbert, Arland Harbert, Mildred Yount, Thelma McClung, Gladys Burgett, Howard Harbert, Byron Harbert, and Bessie Sefton.
Ebenezer Harbert II spent his last years on the farm where he and Mildred reared their family, northeast of Whiteland. He enjoyed his talent for writing reminiscences in poetry. They were published in his Shady Eden Column in the old Franklin Democrat daily newspaper, in the Macon Illinois paper and we found them preserved in scrapbooks in the area.
Here are the last two verses of the thoughts about the 70th Indiana Regiment in Civil War Days where he served three years as a soldier. His pen-name in reminiscences was "Hard Tack," after the "hard tack bread," the name given to bread they ate.For love of our Country
We joined in the fight
Not because for warfare
We had any delight
But because our country
Was menaced by foes
That pillage our homesteads
As we well supposed.
The 70th was composed
Of the very best men
Glad to have our leader
The brave General Ben
Who appears in our dreams
As time passes by
And will stay in our midst
Till the day that we die.
~ Hard Tack
