At the residence Of Mrs. Henry
Robinson, mother of the deceased, the
cortege halted and the remains were
carried to her bedside. She had not
seen her son since an early stage of
his illness. Confined to bed by sick
ness herself she was unable otherwise
to look for the last time upon her be-
loved son. This touching scene over,
the procession moved to the cemetery
near Knapp's meadow in the order fol-
lowing:
Homecoming Fire Company.
Royal Arcanum.
knights Of Labor delegation.
Minister.
Hearse.
Carriages.
Friends.
The latter, numbering at least .
thousand persons, moved in two col
umns-along the county road and rail
road.
The cemetery reached, David Wat
son, chaplain, and James Nichols, re-
gent, Of the Royal Arcanum, read the
burial ritual of the order, and Rev.
Mr.. Still closed the services.
Mr.. Joseph Robinson, brother of the
deceased, was the nearest relative pres
ent at the burial. Mr.. Henry Robin
son, father, is in New Mexico, and was
unable to return in time. Mrs. Rob-
inson, mother of the deceased, rs we
have seen, was too i'll, as also the wife.
The last named had not seen her hus-
band for about week before his
death. Succumbing to the care and
anxiety of two weeks watching, she
gave way under the strain and had to
be removed to the residence of her
| mother. A number of distant rela-
tives and connections were present.
Mr.. Robinson was q native of this
place. He began learning the print
ing business in Kansas, and subse-
quently worked in Homecoming and
Washington, D. C. In October, 1881,
he started the ReUieso, achieving signal
success from the beginning. He was
a young man of tireless energy and
possessed other qualities of supreme
value to his chosen profession. He
lacked physical ability to stand the
strain which journalistic work i'm
poses upon every aspiring and Jealous
adherent. Overwork before the holi-
days and other stresses incident to an
active business season, debilitated his
system and made him an easy prey to
the "chill' which eliminated in ty-
phoid fever.
At q meeting Of the Local Assembly,
Knights of Labor, held Monday, the
following paper was adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t has been the will Of the Al
mighty disposer Of events to take from among
us our late and beloved brother H. H. Ros1N-
SON, and

by the deceased with the members Of this as

| widow and relatives our sincere coincidence
| ana heartfelt sympathy in their bereavement
| at the loss of him who was loving husband

bly,.
