LEWIS KORB, Webster county, born in Bavaria, March 7, 1837, is a son of
Lewis and Rachael (Krever) Korb, and is of German descent.  His paternal
grandfather was a school teacher in the employ of the Bavarian government.
When subject was quite young, his parents left their native country and
came to America, and for a time stopped at New Orleans.  From there they
moved to Cincinnati, Ohio; thence to Ripley County, Ind., where our subject
lived and farmed until 1869, when he came to Webster County, Ky., settled
at Slaughtersville, and engaged in the milling business.  In 1880 he came
to Sebree, where he continued the milling business, and has been very
successful.  The mill, which was erected in 1881, has a capacity of
twenty-five barrels of flour per day, and cost about $5,000.  In 1884 Mr.
Korb discovered the Chalybeate Spring on his premises.  This spring has
already attained quite a reputation, and is becoming famous for the
medicinal qualities of its waters.  The water has been analyzed by E.S.
Wayne, a Cincinnati chemist, and found to contain: Carbonate of iron 2.774;
sulphate of lime, .072; carbonate of lime, 1.213; carbonate of magnesia
.045; carbonate of sodium .280; total 4.384.  Mr. Korb was married in 1858
to Miss Louisa Snyder, of Ripley County, Ind.  They have five children:
