"Peerless Union City", published in March, 1903, contained the following sketch of Samuel CORBIN:
No name is more widely known in the vicinity of Union City, especially among the farmers of this section, than the one at the head of this sketch. Mr. CORBIN was born in Charlestown, Sullivan County, N.H., in July of 1843, and when nineteen years of age, he came to Union City, where he has since continued to reside. He has been engaged in various mercantile enterprises, notably the boot and shoe and the grocery lines, and during the most of the time he has been a dealer in grain and other products of the farmer. He began the purchase of grain here the year before the Air Line Division of the Michigan Central Railroad was constructed, and was the first grain buyer to utilize the new grain elevator then built here. For a number of years, also, he has made a feature of the wool business, and he is the largest buyer of this commodity in this part of the country, his purchases at this and neighboring places aggregating one-half million pounds per annum. Union City is considered an excellent market for all that the farmer raises, largely owing to the business methods of Mr. CORBIN, and his is one reason for the town's popularity with the agriculturists hereabouts. That his manner of conducting business is honorable and satisfactory is plainly shown when we state that a goodly number of the farmers in this vicinity never think of disposing of their products without first consulting Mr. CORBIN. He is a large real estate owner, including business blocks and considerable desirable residence property. It will be readily observed that Mr. CORBIN is necessarily a busy man, but nevertheless he finds time for the social and other duties that devolve upon him.
He d. suddenly, July 29, 1904, of heart failure, highly esteemed for his fair dealing, kindness, and generosity."
