While he had a few enemies, his friends
were legion, and the world will seem
more empty to the many who knew and
understood the rugged, upright charac-
ter and endearing qualities possessed
by their now dead friend The worst
that could be said of Frank Robinson
is that the world would be better if
inhabited by more like him.
The deceased was about 50 years Of
Of age and has two brOthes at Marshall
town, Ia, the home of his parents,
where his remains were probably taken
for interment.
