UNTlMELY DEATH OF JOHN {. coRBIr
Former Resident of Odessa Killed BY
Jumping off Train in Philadelphia

john G. Cotbit, prominent resident
of Norristowr, and son Of Mr. John G.
Corbit, of O lessa, met l,orrihle death
Saturday morning under the wheels of a
passenger train at the Spring Garoen
Street Station of the Reading Railway.
Mr.. Corbit, who was superintendent OF the
Norristown works OF Haines, Jones e
Cadbury, the plumbing supply firm of
Twelfth and Buttonwood Streets, Phila-
delpllia, was accustomed to make fire.
qnent visits to the office of his employ
ers there. He left his home in Norris
town early Saturday morning, boarding
train due at the Reading Terminal at
81 II O'Clock, but which does not stop at
Spring Garden Street. On the car he
met friend, L. B Beyer, Norristown
lawyer, who was also coming to the
city, With whom he conyersed until the
train arrived near Spring Garden street
station. There it slowed down and.
seemed about to stop, and Mr.. Corbit
observed to his friend that as the station
was much nearer to the Haines. Jones &
Cadbury office, he would try to get off
there. He walked out to the front plat
form, and as the train seemed to be lnov-
ing slowly, stepped off. The platform
was very wet and slippery from the rain,
and Mr.. Corbit's feet slid from under
him as he swung of the car. Before he
could cry out or attempt to save himself,
he was under the wheels of the coach
in which he had been riding. The
wheels passed over his body, cutting him
in two, and killed him instantly. 1t was,
all over so quickly that the horror strick-
en- spectators could not even cry out be-
fore the train had passed and the mangled
body lay ON the tracks before them.
The train was at once stopped, and Mr..
Boyer, alighting, discovered the remains
of the friend with whom he had been in
conversation but a minute before. He
Immediately notified Haines, Jones &
Cadbury, who took charge of the body
until.it waselaimed by the relatives. The
members of the firm were greatly shocked
to hear of the death OF their superinten-
dent, who had been in their employ
many years, and whose sudden taking off
came severe blow 10 them.
Mr.. Corbit, who was 40 ye4rs old, was
the son of John C. Corbit, President Of
the New Castle County National Bank Of
Odessa, and a member Of one of Della
wares prominent families. He was
graduate OF Haverford College, and a
member of several clubs in Philadelphia,
and prominent socially in Norristown.
Four years ago he married Miss Anna
Gibson, daughter OF Cashier Joseph L.
Gibson of Odessa, by whom he had one
child. The wife is prostrated by the
shock of her husbands terrible death.
The remains were brought to Middle
town on Tuesday morning and interment
was made in the Friends burial ground
at Odessa. The remains were taken
direct from the station to their last rest
ing place. Rev. R. L. Hallett, pastor of
the Presbyterian Church of Odessa.
officiated at the grave. The pall-bearers
were Messrs. F. B. Watkins, John M.
Watkins, Frank Davis, George W. Davis,
