CLARION (PA) DEMOCRAT, Sept. 30, 1886
Although it was not unexpectedly or without surprise that our citizens learned of the death of Amos W. Corbett on last Tuesday morning, the sorrow and conviction that one of our best and most useful citizens had gone from our midst was none the less heartfelt or universal. One month ago deceased returned to his home from a visit to Foxburg, complaining of severe neuralgic pains in his limbs and body, and, notwithstanding the best efforts of medical skill to battle the disease, he continued to grow gradually worse, his ailment developing into organic heart disease, the immediate cause of his death, which occurred a few minutes before five o'clock on Tuesday morning. Amos W. Corbett was born in Clarion township, this county, in November, 1823, being a little less than sixty three years of age when the summons to cease his earthly pilgrimage came. The early years of his life were spent upon the farm and in the lumbering business, the latter branch of his interests, however soon assuming such extensive proportions as to engage the principal portion of his time and attention. He was the owner of large tracts of timber in which he constantly employed large numbers of workmen by whom he was honored as a kind friend and a wise counsellor.

In religion he was a member of the Baptist faith and though modest an unassuming, his influence and example were always exercised on the side of right while the life he lived was ever consistent with his professions. In the sustaining of the ministry he was ever a large and willing giver and was one of the most generous contributors toward the establishment of the First Baptist church of this place. In politics he was a Republican and although never an aspirant for party preferment was the unanimous choice of that party at its last primary election as its candidate for the State Legislature. Having amassed considerable wealth he had retired from the business activities of life with every prospect of being spared to enjoy his declining years in quiet among those with whom he had labored and loved, when the summons came and he was called to enjoy the rewards of a well spent life in a brighter world above. He leaves to mourn his sore bereavement a widow, three sons and two daughters, the latter being Messrs. L.G., C. F. and A.W. Corbett, Jr., and Mrs. Dr. A.M. Reid, of this place, and Mrs, J.S. Albright of Clarion township. To them, he was ever a fond and indulgent husband and father and to all our citizens a kind and honored friend. To his widow and children we tender our hearty condolence in the loss of their...(article cut off).
