| TEXT | Since the day of Tubal Cain, the first artificer in metal, the trade of forging has been recognized as one of great consideration in point of its usefulness to man. Every village, almost every crossroad, can boast a smithy. Montclair is peculiarly favored in being the locality in which several practical smiths have established themselves. Among these concerns that of William H. Corby, located on what is called the Old Road, Montclair, deserves special mention. Mr. Corby was born in Caldwell Township, Essex County, N.J., in 1830. During the late war he served as a private in Company F, Twenty-sixth New Jersey Regiment. He opened his shop in Montclair in 1870, with but a small capital, since increased by industry and application. He is educating his son to his business, who at no distant day will be able to succeed his father. |
