Robinson Home
Landmark Of
Old Detroit
BY VERA BROWN

SiXty-four years ago when
Charles Robinson built the great
red brick home with the picket
fence about II in the, midst Of
five acres at 5lT5 Grand River
avenue. he did n because he
wanted a place in the country
for his family.
Today the big mid-Nictorian
house still stands sedately IN the
midst of It's neat acres, still the
home of Anna Elizabeth Robinson
who moved there as a little girl
in 1876.
DOESN'T MIND TRAFFIC
b Said the white-haired woman
today as she sat beside the coal
burning CRATE:
II do not mind the sound Of
traffic. ! think of IL as being
friendly. You see this Is home
TO me, and home IL will be TO
the end. My one regret Is that
the trees are suffering from the
widening of the avenue, the
grape vines are gone"
This week for the siXty-fourth
time a Christmas tree stands IN
the back parlor of house which
might have housed Mrs. Alcott's
Little Women
The great high walnut furni-
ture almost touches the high
ceiling and Miss Robinson likes
10 play Christmas carols on her
great square piano. There is
nothing else left in Detroit quite
like the old Robinson home. The
carriage house is as neat as when
her father kept his high-spirited
bays in il.
Said Miss Robinson:
PICNIC GROUNDS
my first recollection of this
place II when father used to
drive us out from our home In
Sixth street for Sunday pic
mic. We had to get an early
start because 1t was quite a
distance and we wanted TO be
home by dark"
One of those children was the
late Washington 1. Robinson. we'll
known Detroit attorney who died
10 years ago. q.
The Robinson children went 10
the old high school in Capitol
PaFk, and to the grade school at
Seventh and Spruce along with
the children of the Gastons and
the McGregors and the Haleys.
Miss Robinson studied music in
Cincinnati and later in Boston,
taught little. and sang much.
She used TO ride horseback in
those early days when there were
nice woods just beyond their
Grand River home.
Said Miss Robinson:
81 try TO keep up with the
world but get depressed with
all the war news"
Y. w. c. A. FOR MEMORIAL
She belongs to the Farm and
Garden Club, likes to read listen
TO the radio, spends much time
with an invalid niece who lives
with her. They are cared for in
the big house by a houseman and
a maid. The maid, who was with
them 30 years, died shortly after
Miss Robinson's mother died in
1928.
The grounds and acreage will
go TO the Y. w. c. A. for
memorial for Miss Robinson's at
torney brother when she no
longer wants the house for a
home.
This new year Miss Robinson
has one desire. TO put a neat
iron fence around the home. The
picket fence is wearing out.

Wrangell Man
 Dies Of Heart
 Attack On Boat

George Weikko Arola, a resident of Wrangell since 1920, died of a heart attack aboard his boat, the Elna A. last Saturday. The attack came, evidently, just after Arola had built fire in the stove and sat be- side it to get warm. Bob Walberg, whose boat was tied alongside the Elna A, was attracted by smoke pouring out of the Arola boat. Going aboard he found the dead man had fallen against the stove, one hand almost completely burned and his coat sleeve smouldering. He remov- ed him to bunk and called the doc tor and fire department.
 George Arola was born at Astor- ia, Oregon, December IS, 1891. He came to Alaska in 1912, going to Chilkoot and was later at Sitka. He came to Wrangell in 1920 and was engaged in fishing here since. He was a World War veteran, serving during the time at Fort Lewis, Washington.
 The deceased had suffered heart attacks in the past, it was said. Last week he went hunting and carried heavy deer out of the woods and complained of a pain in his chest. His death followed a day or two la ter.
 Funeral services were held Mon- day afternoon from St. Philips church, the Rev. Arnold Krone of- ficiating Pail bearers were old time friends, Andrew Prussi, Zinc Jussila, Charles Williamson, Bob Walberg, Charles Roos and John V. Mattila. and interment took place at Rad MeA'R cemetaRy-
