March 25th, at her residence near Irish
Corners, will be severely felt in this
community. She was the widow of DR..
Robinson who died in 1875, at the ad
vsnced age of SO, he at the time being
80 years older than she. They came
from Berlin in the State of New York
before the year 1912, as their names APP
pear upon the records of the old Baptist
Church of SALISBURY, as uniting with
it at that date. Her maiden name was
Amanda Buddington, and her brother
Pearl lived and worked upon the farm
of Mr.. Robinson for quite a number of
years, accommodating enough to buy a
large farm when be left to work for
himself. She had a sister, the wife OF
Hudson Smith, who, as well as Mrs.
Smith, died in Bennington many years
ago. She was an exemplary member of
the Baptist Church here from its organ
ization, and was n years old at her de-
cease, She left no descendants, and we
think never had any children. Her
funeral was attended on Tuesday at her
late residence, the Rev. A. S. Gilbert
officiating. A large number were pres
ent, and the interment was at Benning-

buried. The bearers were her four

since. While standing near a fly wheel
running about fifteen hundred turns a
minute team suddenly backed upon
him crowding his breast and abdomen
upon it, and but for his brother pulling
him away as the wagon rebounded lit
tie, he must have been torn to pieces.
AS it was his clothing was ruined and
the nervous shock was considerable.
