Corbett Cline Gore lived in this home with his wife, Susan, and son Cline. Corbett was a district manager for a grocery store, and later an insurance agent. He passed away in 1980 at the age of 55. Weird thing to have in a newspaper, but the Sanford Herald asked readers how they liked their yams, and Corbett responded, “Candied.”
