DEATH OF MR. WARREN CORBIN
On Wednesday evening of last week, the 24th ult., Mr. Warren Corbin,
living
in Stamp creek district, left town with a two horse wagon loaded with
shingles, for home. About one and a half miles from town, in going down a
long hill, his mules ran with him, throwing him out and dragging his body
some two hundred yards. It so happened that Mr. G.W. Satterfield and
family
were returning home from Cherokee county in a vehicle and were coming up
the
same hill at the time. Mr. Satterfield barely had time to get his vehicle
out of the way of the running team. When Mr. S. came up with Mr. C. he was
speechless and died in about a half hour. The head of the deceased was
badly fractured in two or three places and much bruising upon his body. Strange
to
say nothing was broken although the heels of both his boots were knocked
off. The deceased was in the bloom of health and had promise of a splendid
manhood. He was a brother of Mr. W.F. Corbin, ex tax collector of this
county. We deeply sympathize with the family, and friends of the deceased
in this sad occurrence. The Cartersville Express
