New York. He was a great reader and
thinker and during the last ten years
when his eye sight nearly failed him,
kept up his interest In the affairs of the
nations by having information of the
current events and national issues read
to him.
He was one of family of Il children,
seven sons and five daughters, only one,
Ruel Robinson of Arson, surviving him.
He had four children, three daughters,

Sharing the splendor of this SUI kissed world,
Our lows and sorrows by His love impaired,
Our life like some bright spring time day,
Holding rare germs, that blossom for away
Life's sweetest gifts are ours
The fragrance and the beauty OF His flowers,
Children and grandchildren, hearts near and
dear
That oft our hearthstone bless and cheer
AS the new days come and the old days CO.
While buds the rose and falls the snow.
Dear, lay thy hand in mine;
The sun for us now in the west doth shine.
The world looks on and says that were old.
But Time shows not that hearts are cold,
For each no that comes, cherish you,
AS did of old. when this ring was new,

And soon, for us, shall dawn Heavens golden
