Corson had inherited the paper from his brother-in-law, David Reesor. In 1915, Robert Corson bought out the Markham Sun, a "Tory" paper, and continued to publish the Markham Economist and Sun until his death in 1930.

Robert (Grandaddy) Corson was Henry R. Corson's father. Grandaddy Corson lived on the west side of the 4th Line (Lot 2 or 3). He was an early saddlebag preacher in the Township.
