J.H. Robinson
OBEYS LAST TAP
CAPTAIN J. H. ROBINSON FALLS DEAD WITHOUT WARNING.
ROBINSON
When Mrs. J. H. Robinson returned home Wednesday of
last week just after dark, form a visit with her
daughter, Mrs. R. J. Lucas, she missed her husband,
Captain J. H. Robinson, and upon search of the
premises found him lying dead in the chicken coop near
the house. He had been left alone during the
afternoon, and had been dead a few hours apparently.
The discovery was a severe shock to Mrs. Robinson and
the neighbors, for Mr. Robinson had been in usual
health when she left him. His death is attributed to
heart disease, to which he was subject.
His death removes a familier figure, and one who
will be greatly missed. Always cheerful and of a
genial disposition he cast a ray of sunshine on all
within his circle. He was active in G.A.R. circles and
at soldiers reunions, and with his drum and good
nature added life and enjoyment to these gatherings.
John Henry Robinson was born in Cayuga county, New
York, Feb. 9, 1843, and died at his home in Gladwin,
April 1, 1914. Mr. Robinson lived at home until the
Civil war, when he enlisted with the Third New York
artillery and served his country three years and six
months, receiving an honorable discharge.
Mr. Robinson was married June 13, 1866 to Miss Emma
A. D. Sweet in New York, and lived there until the
fall of '82 when he moved with his family to Caro,
Mich., and in the spring of 1899 moved to Gladwin,
where he has since resided.
Three children Mrs. R. J. Lucas of Gladwin, Mrs.
Charles Sursaw of Rose City and Charles Robinson of
Edenville, with Mrs. Robinson and nine grandchildren,
remain to mourn their loss.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. W.
Hayward at his late home Saturday at 10 a.m. and the
body was laid to rest by G.A.R. comrades in Highland
cemetery.
