ROBINSON, W. L.

The announcement of the death of W. L. Robinson of Armstrong will be a profound surprise to his many Estherville friends. He was the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Robinson of Armstrong and was twenty-five years of age. He was educated at the Ames Agricultural College and started in business in 1896 in the general merchandise business in Wilbert, Minn., later moving his stock to Clayton where his trade was materially increased. In his hometown he was known as an honest and energetic young man, well liked by his townsmen and his death will be felt in no small degree to his many friends and admirers.

The funeral services were held at the Robinson home, Rev. James Wilson of Springville delivering the funeral sermon. The remains were interred in the Armstrong cemetery.
