CORBETT, MICHEL J., Wilmington, N. C., born in Lismore, County of
Waterford, Ireland, August 4, 1856, the son of John Corbett, a small
farmer and contractor; was educated in the national schools and
remained in Ireland until his eighteenth year, arriving in Wilmington,
N. C., March 28, 1878, where he has since resided. He entered the
commission business, and in due course became a partner in the firm of
W. I. Gore & Company; later, on the withdrawal of Mr. Gore, the
commission business, which had largely increased, was incorporated
under the name and style of The Corbett Company, under which the
business is now conducted. Mr. Corbett is one of the most potent
factors in the industrial life of Wilmington, and, in addition to the
successful conduct of his regular business, has been largely
instrumental in the promotion, organization and management of many
important and flourishing enterprises in Wilmington; is Vice-President
and one of the original directors of the People’s Savings Bank; one of
the original directors of the Murchison National Bank; President of
the Wilmington, Southport & Little River Company; member of the firm
of Stone & Company, and one of the Board of Managers of the James
Walker Memorial Hospital; is a member of the Cape Fear Club, Carolina
Yacht Club and Cape Fear Golf Club. In 1884 Mr. Corbett was married to
Miss Mary Josephine Deans, and to her inspiration and counsel
attributes in a large measure the credit for his success in life. The
union has been signally blessed, ten children having been born to
them, nine of whom are still living. Is Vice-President of the Society
for North Carolina.
