MRS. JULIA CORBETT DIES

Widow of Late Elijah Corbett Called by Death

Mrs. Julia Frances Corbett, widow of the late Elijah Corbett, died yesterday at her residence, 275 Sixth street. Mrs. Corbett was well known in Portland, having liver here many years. She was born in Van Buskirk, N. Y., in 1829, and came to Portland with her husband in 1864. She had resided in the family residence on Sixth street for the past 40 years.

Elijah Corbett, of the Willamette Iron & Steel Works, and Mrs. Cleo B. Corbett, of this city, a grandson and granddaughter, are her only near relatives here. She is also survived by nieces and nephews who live in the East.

Mrs. Corbett was greatly interested in charitable and philanthropic work and was an active member of the Trinity Episcopal Church. For several years she sang in the choir. Her husband was a brother of the late Senator H. W. Corbett. Mrs. Corbett had been the victim of a stroke of apoplexy about a year ago and since that time had not enjoyed good health. The arrangements for the funeral have been place in the charge of the Holman Undertaking Company. The funeral services will be held Wednesday morning from her late home and the interment will take place in the family plot in Riverview Cemetery.

During her life of nearly half a century in this city she was active in benevolence, generous in sympathy, kindly in her daily intercourse with others. Living thus, she was beloved; passing, her memory is revered.
