their sincere thanks to those who assisted
in the sickness, death and burial of their
dear one; to those who furnished music
and flowers, and those who lined the grave
SO beautifully; also for the kind remem-

MR.. AND MRS. P. s. HITCHCOCK,
MRS. S. ID. MORRILL,.
The Boston Journal has the following
in its issue of May 9.
Jacksonville, Fla, May s. ''In the ruins
Of her home the body of Mrs. Scion Ro bin
son was found to- day, where she had been
buried in the fire of last Friday. She was
the widow of Scion Robinson, for many
years agricultural editor of the New York
Tribune.
Mrs. Robinson was we'll known
here having spent many summers with her
mother, the late Mrs. Mary johnson, who
lived on Church street good number of
years. She came here in the sixties, with
her two daughters, Julia and Louise, Mary
being at that time the private secretary of
Scion Robinson of the New York Tribune,
whom she later married. Julia died a few
years ago, and Louise has been an invalid
for several years. In October 1899 Mrs.
Johnson, her daughter Louise and Mrs.
Robinson returned to Florida after spend
ing the summer here. Since that time
Mrs. Johnson has died, and at the time
notice appeared in the MONITOR stating
the facts in the matter. Now Mrs. Robin
son has met tragic death perishing in the
flames of her house, while it is learned
that Louise is safe. A telegram was receiv
ed last week by Gilbert Gross, a relative
of the Johnson family who lives in Brown
ington, stating the fact that Louise was
alive and she desired him to come to Jack
sonviIle and bring her back to Vermont.
Mrs. Robinson was a most noble and ac-
compIished lady, deeply pious and bene-
VIOLENT. She was a member of Baptist
church in her city and one of its strongest
supporters. She will be greatly missed by
her friends in Jacksonville and by those
who knew her here.
