OBITUARY.

Frank Robinson, the oldest resident
Of this vicinity, and one of it's most
sturdy, honest and thoroughly good
men, died at his home in this village
on Friday morning, January 7th of
old age and general debility.
Mr.. Robinson was born in Yamaska,
Quebec, of Scotch and French paretns,
on Dec. II, 1924, making him 81 years
of age. He is survived by his wife,
aged 81, and three daughters, Mrs
Horace Barrette, of Grand Rapids,
Wis, Mrs. Lillian Bone of st. Paul,
and Mrs. Norman Stanley, of Hum
bird, also Is grand children and 8
great-grandchildren. Four other child
rem, three sons and one daughter, died
several years ago.
In 1912 he came to Boston, where he
remained for several years, employed
at brick making. He returned to his
Canadian home and was married to
Miss Elizabeth Proulx, coming back to
Boston, where they remained a year
and a half. They then moved to st.
Paul, Mimi, where Mr.. Robinson con-
tinued in his vocation of brick making
and brick laying, as one of it's earliest
Pioneers, helping make the brick of
some of the first substantial buildings
of st. Paul, some of which are still
standing. He also helped make, by
hand, the first brick building in Still
water. He also helped make, by hand
the shingles of the old Cathedral in st.
Paul, which has recently been taken
down. For a time he drove a stage
coach from Hudson to St. Croix: this
was before there were any railroads
in that vicinity.
In 1862 the family moved back to
Fairbault, thence back to Canada, then
to Iowa, finally landing near the pres
ent village of Alma Center about AZ
years ago. For the past II years Mr..
Robinson and his wife have been resi-
dents of the village, their children all
living at their respective homes, and
visiting the old couple occasionally.
Mr. Robinson was a most industri-
Gus man, always busy at something,
