Death of Il Good Norman.

Probably no sadder announcement
ever fell upon the ears of the citi-
zens OF Jerome than that which con-
veyed the news of the death of Mrs.
w. c. Robinson, which occurred at
her late home in this place at 1000
O'Clock on Sunday evening last. after
a very brief illness OF only a few
hours. Mrs. Robinson had been en-
joying the best of health up to last
Friday morning when she was found
unconscious in her bed by her hus-
band, having suffered from a para
lytic stroke. A physician was sum
moned and although everything that
human hands and brain could do was
done for her, she remained in an un-
conscious state until Sunday even
ing when she quietly passed away.
Words fail to convey the grief
manifested on the part of those who
knew this estimable lady over her
sudden demise. Though far from
being a worshiper at the shrine of
society's idol, her companionship
was. eagerly sought by many who
found in her a most staunch and true
friend, ever ready to cheer the
heart of those in sorrow or trouble.
Sarah Jane Dexter was born at
Milbrook, Canada, May 3rd, 1845.
making her 6S years, 10 months
and 29 days old at the time of her
death. On Christmas day, 1873, she
was united in marriage to Mr.. Will
liam c. Robinson, at Marysville,
Kans.. since which time they have
travelled life's road together, the hus-
band surviving her, together with
six children, viz: Mr.. Ed Robinson,
of this place; Mrs. Fanny Murphy.
Childres, Tex; Mrs. Bertha Winter
mote and Mrs. Hazel Nicholson, of
st. Louis; Mrs. Ethel Fernich, of
San Antonio, Tex, and Mr.. w. ID.
Robinson, of Newton. Kans. Her
grandson, Mr.. Max Murphy also ac-
companied his mother from Childres,
Texas.

which time they have resided here
The deceased was a member of the
Baptist church, having professed
Christianity some So years ago
since which time she has led a most
exemplary life that should be mode
for all TO follow. She was a grea
reader and most intelligent CONVEX
sationalist on public matters and tn,
church in particular AS neighbol
her kindness is vouched for by man,
who have received favors at he
hands. and her indulgence as a moth
er is evidenced from the fact tina
her latter years were spent in still
doing little acts of kindness 70
them, and what makes her untimel
. death more sad is that she was look
ing froward to a happy reunion o
the entire family the coming season
when the children were all expecte
D to be with her.
The funeral occurred from tn
u late home of the deceased on Tues
day afternoon. the services bein
conducted by her late pastor, the Re,
Edgar Thorne of the Baptist church
assisted by Rev. Junkin, who is tn
pastor of the Presbyterian churc,
and was largely attended by neigh
bors and friends of the deceased, tn
casket being almost hidden beneat
profusion of flowers which Dor
,s evidence of the esteem in which tn
al deceased was held. All of the chi
re- dren were present at the funeral e.
,f cept Mrs. Nicholson, who was d.
a tanned at home on account of sicknes
Il in her home. The remains WEI
~ carefully consigned to their last res
IA ing place in the cemetery at tn
70 place. AS this is the first link in I'll
ia family chain to be severed. the hui
~ band and children feel their lo'
Ie very keenly. but in their deep b.
&c reavement they have the most mr.
er found sympathy of wide circle
ht friends and neighbors.
