Former Rensselaer Resident Died Wednesday Night.

A message came last night informing Warren Robinson of the death at 10 o’clock that evening of his brother, Frank, of lola, Kas. Warren was not aware of his brother’s serious condition until Tuesday, when he got a card from his sister, Mrs. Ida Ponsler, stating that Frank was very low. Frank had not been in the best of health for three or four years and somewhat over a year ago he suffered an attack of typhoid fever, from the effects of which he had never com-' pletely recovered. It was reported last fall that he had cancer of the bladder, but he would never submit to an .operation. It is presumed that that sickness, combined with his general weakened condition, was the immediate cause of his death. Frank Robinson was well known over Jasper county and up until 16 years ago, when he moved to Kansas, was a resident of Barkley township. He has been very prosperous in his adopted state and Though not in active business at the time of his death, he spent most of his time looking after business Interests. He was largely interested in the lola Tile and Brick company, of which his brother-in-law, Luther Ponsler, was president Frank .was 48 years of ag4 and the sixth child of Thos. Robinson. He is survived by a wife and three sons, Floyd, who is of age; Kenneth and Max. Also four brothers and one sisterr Harve, of Sentinel Butte, N. Dak.; Addison, of* Bloomfield, Mo.; Warren, of Rensselaer, and’ Mrs. Luther McKeever Ponsler, of lola, Kas., and a host of friends at his home and in Jasper county. Burial will take place at lola. It is not probable that Warren will attend.
