In Tribute: Corbett Family Dia de los Muertos Altar
In celebration of Dia de los Muertos, an altar was erected in the Palice Pavilion in honor of the Corbett family who built and occupied the J. Knox Corbett house, a 1907 home located on the historic block and restored to its Mission Revival glory.
The Corbett family included J. Knox Corbett (1861 - 1934), his wife Elizabeth "Lizzie" Hughes Corbett (1864 - 1936), and their children, Hiram Stevens Corbett (1886 - 1968) and Guielma "Gulie" Corbett (1898 - 1945).
