Mrs. John Q. Robinson
Moved to Ottumwa a few years ago - was nearly seventy years of age - leaves a husband and three children to mourn loss.

The news of the death of Mrs. J. Q. Robinson at her home in Ottumwa will come as a shock to her many friends in this city. Her death occurred Thursday morning at 3:00 o'clock after an illness of just a few hours. On Wednesday abut eleven o-clock in the forenoon while assisting her daughter, Mae, she was taken suddenly ill and passed away at three o'clock the next morning.

Mr. and Mrs. Robinson were former residents of this city being among the old settlers of this community in which they had lived so long and for several years resided on Piety Hill and on Adams street. A few years ago they removed to Ottumwa which has been their home since. For many years Mrs. Robinson has been afflicted with blindness but was ever a patient sufferer. She has been in ailing health for some months but her death comes as a great shock. She was nearing seventy years of age.

She leaves of her immediate family her husband, one daughter, Mae, who has been her mother's faithful attendant, and two sons, Charles of Onawa, Ia., and Edgar of La Grange, IL. Funeral services will be held in Ottumwa Saturday and interment will take place at that place.
