History: The certified and true facts on Corbins Bottoms Old Coddger recalls they were part of the holdings of Mr. Mont Corbin, before the Corps took our land Mr. Mont Corbin was the largest land owner in that part of the country when the Green River Lake Dam was built, and I'm pretty sure that is where the name came from. He owned a big percentage of the river bottom land on that part of the river, thus Corbin's Bottoms. In fact the photo you had (near) where the bird watch was to start was on what was part of his farm, if my memory serves me right. By following the road east from that starting point you would go by his house and barns before coming to the ford across Green River; from there it was Pikes Ridge and all points east. Up the hill, back towards Jericho, a hundred yards or so and on the same side of the road, was the place of Mr Rufus Dulworth. Looking west across the road from Mr Dulworth's place was the farm of Gaylord Henson. In regards to your other picture, "The Long Road" at the very top and on the left or east side of the road, would have been the home of Mr. Nelson Conrad, a long-time magistrate in that community. After Mr Corbin was forced from his farm by the water, he moved to the great metropolis of Cane Valley, where he bought the "old" Love Smith house and remodeled it and put brick on the complete exterior. The house is now owned by Bea Hendrickson and sets across Cane Valley Road from the U.S, Post Office. I, Old Coddger, hereby certify these to be real and true facts, to the best of my very short memory. signed, s/Old Coddger This story was posted on 2010-03-30 07:39:33
