Does anyone have any records of Corbins who
lived in Parsons, Kansas in the 1930's and
1940's ? A John or a Charles ? This Corbin
probably would have been born in the late
1800's.

My Great Grandfather Ruel Albert Corbin was
born in Rankin, Illinois on 17 Nov 1871. Ruel
Albert Corbin's father was a Jacob Corbin.
His mother's name was Melinda. He had two
known bothers. A John and a Charles. At the
time of his death he had two surviving
brothers. One named Charles Corbin and the
other being a John Corbin. The obituary lists
Charles as the brother who lived in Parsons,
Kansas but another source said that it was
John. John is listed in the obituary as
living in Hamilton, Illinois.

Any help or insight you have would be much
appreciated !
