PROMINENT CITIZEN CALLED

WARREN ROBINSON, A WELL KNOWN AND INFLUENTIAL CITIZEN, DIED THIS A. M. % „ Warren Robinson, one of the best known and respected citizens of this city, and a lifelong resident of Jesper county, passed away at his home on W. Washington street- at five o'clock this Tuesday morning; after an illness of many months, death resulting from aenemia. Mr. Robinson's illness took a serious turn early in the spring, but later in the summer _he showed some improvement and was apparently on the road to recovery when he had relapse. His decline since that time had been . rapid, and, although he was able to be up and around the house part of the time and to take short walks, no hope was entertained for. his recovery. ' Mr. Robinson was born in Gillam township on April 8, 1858, the son of Thomas and Margaret Rohinson and was one of a family of eleven children. His early youth and manhood was spent upon the farm where he was born.' 1 Following his marriage he continued to follow farming as an occupation for a number of years, later moving to this city, where he resided until his death occurred. The greater part of his residence in this city was spent at the home he owned at the edge of the city on Melville avenue. Upon disposing of this home he and his family moved nito his down town property, formerly known as the Nowels house block, their present residence.

The deceased was a man greatly respected and ..admired by all knew him, a kind and generous husband and father, and of a quiet, unobtrusive nature and an ideal citizen in every respect, and the community in general will feel the loss of a man of Mr. Robinson's type and character. . . Mr. Robinson is .survived by his wife and four children, Edwin,-Ed-na, Luella and Ada, all at home. Two brothers, Harve J. Robinson, of Dickinson, N. D., and A. J. Robinson, of Essex, Mo., also survive him. A twin brother, Wallace, died a number of years ago. Mrs. T. r S. Ponsler, of- lola, Kans., is the surviving sister. Funeral services will be conducted at the late residence at three o’clock Wednesday afternoon, and interment will be made in Weston cemetery. _
