Manford E. Robinson, 67, son of Dr. and Mrs. M. A. Robinson of Maquoketa and an ex-resident himself, died Wednesday in an Ann Arbor, Mich., hospital following a heart attack on Sunday.

Services and burial will be Saturday in Ann Arbor.

He was born July 11, 1892, in DeWit, Ia. He graduated from Maquoketa high school and attended college in Dubuque. A veteran of World War I, he enlisted at the age of 24 in the U. S. Marines.
