T. J. Corbett
Clarke County Times
Our community was greatly shocked last Wednesday night when the death of Thos. J. Corbett was announced. He had been complaining and remained at home until late in the evening when he came to his store, and returned after a brief stay. Mrs. Corbett remained in the store and at a late hour went home to find him in a stuper from which she and her neighbors could not arouse him. Dr. Rouse was summoned at once and did everything in his power to restore him,but to no avail. He passed away quietly at 8:30 p.m. He was born and reared at Enterprise, was an only son of the late Cornelius Corbett, and was 38 years of age. He married Miss Annie Kling of Meridian, whom he leaves alone to mourn his departure. He has one sister living at Gulfport (Sister Alexis) and his mother who resides at Jackson, Tenn., who reached here this evening.
It is sad to contemplate the death of one in the prime of life whose prospects were so flattering. He was attentive to his duties and devoted to his wife, who always reciprocated his kindness and gave him and his business her undivided attention. He was a member in good standing of the I. O. O. F., and was a pass grand of that noble order, which consigned his body to the grave Thursday evening at 3:30 o'clock. Alas! how frail is the thread of life--how uncertain are the things of this world. We pause to drop a tear of sorrow over the death of one who has always been my friend and express to his afflicted family my most heartfelt sorrow and sympathy.

Sam Keys, who was bound over to the grand jury on a charge of assault and battery with intent to murder Henry Canon, died in jail at New Albany last week. The rumor has been that Canon was hauled from his deathbed and placed in a pond by four other negroes, but the body was never found. On the preliminary hearing counsel for defendant produced a letter purporting to be from Canon at Duck Hill.
