In the early hours Of Thursday of

Beyond the soul of one of the ge1tlest
OF Gods creations, Evelyn Linderman

married TO Mr.. Edward Moore Robin
son, May 9TH, 1917. at Bethlehem, Pa,
and died at her home in Oakland July
3lst, 1919. She was born in Bethle-
hem and was the granddaughter of
the late Asa Packer, the founder of
Lehigh University, one of the leading
institutions of learning in the coun-
try. Her father, Mr.. Robert Under
man, was the president of the Beth
lehem Steel Company, preceding Mr..
Charles NJ. Schwab as the head of the
great industry, and was a man very
prominent in both the civic and social
life of the community in which he
lived and wherever the influence of his
personal and business interests ex-
tended. Mrs. Robinsons mother, who
still survives, was a Miss Sayre, a sis
ter-in-law of the former Miss Jessie
Woodrow Wilson, the daughter of
President Wilson. Mrs Robinson's
father, a man prominent in both New
York and Philadelphia, was of the

and mother, was brought up by his
uncle, Mr.. John Markle, of New York.

Evelyn Robinson was educated in
France and Italy, and while her hus-
band was serving with the First
American Army in France as an of
| ficer in the Gas Service, she was with
Motor Transport Corps in New York
City.
Mrs. Robinson came to Oakland
with her husband in April last and
took up their residence here, Mr.. Rob-
lnson being engaged as one Of the
assistant engineers of the Dodson BIZ
luminous Coal Corporation in the de-
velopment of the latter's coal property
near Wilson in this county.
Almost Immediately upon coming
into this community, Mrs. Robinson
became a great favorite with our peo-
| pie, and all who had the privilege of
meeting her were ct once impressed
with the loneliness of her disposition
and the beauty of her character which
radiated sunshine all around her and
filled her friends and associates with
feelings an sentiments like unto
| those which were a part of her nature
and life. She was always happy, and
1t was her nature to impart this hap
| piness to others. To this quality, more
| than TO any other perhaps, can be
ascribed her ability, and yet entirely
without effort on her part, to infuse
into the hearts and lives of those who
knew her the same geniality of dis
| position, temperament and character
that she possessed. To know her was
| to appreciate her for her lovely and
| lovable character. Mrs. Robinson's
death, so unlocked for, and in a sense
| so sudden, cast a distinct gloom over
| Oakland. as we'll as the section where
her husband was engaged and where
he had made so many friends. She
| had looked forward to a permanent
| residence among the people. of Oak
| land with many anticipations OF the
| happiness that was 10 be hers. But it
has been decreed otherwise and ties so
recently formed have blen broken and
severed forever. 1t was the sad fate
Of this young couple, though married
two years, to have lived together only
ten months. The deep and heartfelt
sympathy of the entire community
goes out to Mr.. Robinson and to his
wife's family, some of whom had also
become acquainted with few of the
Oakland people
The body of Mrs. Robinson was
taken to Bethlehem, the place of her
birth. and with loving hands and sor-
rowing hearts tenderly inferred on
last Saturday by the side of her father
and others of the family who had pre-
coded her.
