Death of J. U. Robinson.


 J. U. Robinson, better known among railroad men and his many other friends as ''Uncle Jimmy" Robinson, died at his home in Green Forest, Sun day morning, December "A, I916a
 ''Uncle Jimmy" was born in Mont genrery county, West Virginia, in 1846. married in 1871, and commenced his railroad career in 1873, in the capacity of lomotive fireman, and was promoted to an engineer five years later, in 1878. He was charter member of the Fireman's Union, which was one of the first organizations of it's kind in this country. After he became an engineer he was soon identified with the Broth erhood of Locomotive Engineers, and of which order he was a loyal supporter for 38 years. The little pin he wore, which was emblematical of the order, was worn with dignity to himself and honor to the fraternity.
 In 1878. Uncle Jimmy quit rail road service and went into the milling business at Rogers, Ark. In 1888, af- ter two years of milling, the call of the rail was so strong he decided to again return to his first love and was at the throttle for three years when he once more entered the milling business, this time at Verona, Mo. The milling company at Verona was practically a reorganization of the Rogers company. Six years later the mill at Verona was destroyed by fire and thru the careless ness of the bookkeeper the insurance thereon was allowed to lapse and there- fore the mill was total loss.
 After this, Mir. Robinson was again lured to his beloved profession, that of engineer, and continued at the throttle until he came to the M. & N. A, which road gave him employment in the con- struction of the tunnel and as an eX- tra engineer, in 1900. Owing to hls de- clining years he did not do much engine work, but was employed as q machinist for sometime in the shops at Eureka Springs, and was afterwards made water service man winch position he held uutil his failing health forced him to give it up-only few weeks ago..
 He was a member of the M. E. Church and always gave the one- tenth of his earnings to the support of the church.
 Uncle Jimmy is survived by his wife and two sons, Frank, of Carrollton, Mo-, and Charles, of Billings, Mont.
