Patrick Corbett initially rented this property, a common step to ownership.

With these advantages he soon became known as the \u201ccelery king.\u201d The energy to prepare the land for planting on this moist soil was best provided by a horse. He worked this property and adjacent land from 1880 until he retired and passed it on to his sons who worked it until the mid 1940\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the turn of the century, there were three adjacent farms on this part of Allens Creek; the Corbetts, Beckers, and Stanley Burrows families. The Becker farm was immediately downstream from the Corbetts. Old documents show that Corbett and Becker were close friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
