"CORBIN, George Waldo, capitalist, was born in New Britain, Hartford County, Connecticut, March 4, 1859, Son of Waldo and Emily Matilda (Curtis) CORBIN, His family was founded in America by Clement CORBIN, who came from England in 1640 and in 1656 settled at Muddy river, now Brookline, Massachusetts. From Clement and his wife Dorcas Buckminster (or Buckmaster), the line of descent is through James and his wife Hannah Eastman; Philip and his wife Dorothy Barstow; Lemuel and his wife Rebecca Davis; Philip and his wife Rho by Healy; and Philip Jr.., and his wife Lois Chaffee, the grandparents of George W. CORBIN. His father was a founder with two brothers Philip and Frank CORBIN, in 1853, of the P. and F. CORBIN Co., manufacturers of locks and accessories. Mr. CORBIN was educated at the Wesleyan Academy, Wilbraham, Massachusetts, revealing a decided mechanical turn of mind from early childhood. At the age of eighteen he left school and was employed as a timekeeper by the P. and F. CORBIN Co. When the CORBIN Cabinet Lock Co. was established as a separate unit in 1882, he was made invoice clerk and later his father placed him on the road as a commercial salesman. Upon his return he was made manager of the firm, its secretary in 1896, and eventually its president. As head of the CORBIN Cabinet Lock Co., he traveled into every state in the Union with the object of meeting personally those who handled the products of his factory, and his pleasing personality was an important factor in the growth and development of the company. Under his administration, the working force of the plant was increased from 100 to 2000 men, a seven-story building was constructed to house the expanding plant and new ideas and new machinery adopted. He was opposed to its consolidation with the American Hardware Co., and withdrew in 1907 to devote his time to the active administration of other interests. In 1905 he had reorganized the Union manufacturing Co., for the production of chucks and pumps, of which he became president in 1907. He built a new plant, installed new equipment and brought about a rapid expansion of the company's business. In 1906 he formed the CORBIN Brothers Co., which began the manufacture of locks at Plainville, Connecticut, but removed to a new and larger plant at New Britain in 1907. He was president of the company, as he was of the People's Savings Bank; treasurer of the Dean Steel Die Co. and CORBIN-Church Co.; a director of the New Britain Savings and Loan Association, the New Britain Realty Co., the New Britain Trust Co. and the New Britain National Bank. He took an active part in local politics as a Republican. He was a member of the common council During 1890-1902 ;free commissioner in 1893; and mayor of the city for one term, 1894-98. At the time of his death, he was an active member of the city school board. Mr. CORBIN was a member of the Sons of the American revolution, the Masonic fraternity, and the hardware Club of New York City. His religious affiliation was with the Methodist Church. He was married at New Britain, Hartford County, Connecticut, October 17, 1883 to Lena Harriet, Daughter of Henry Riggs Kelley. They had four daughters, Florence May, Wife of Colton David Noble; Helen Emily, Wife of Richard Pinches; Ruth Kelley, wife of Charles Philips Merwin; and Constance Georgia, wife of Sydney Paul Johnston.
