Historical Sketches of Iowa Baptists, Burdette Company, Burlington, Iowa, 1886.

Our obituary record begins with 1846. Rev. Peter Robinson died at Marion, September, 1846. Rev. Dexter P. Smith says of him, "I was associated with Brother Robinson as a student at Madison University, and in 1846 hailed him as a fellow laborer in Iowa. But while admiring his work of faith and brightening prospects at Marion, the summons came. It only remained to comply with his request, go to Marion and preach his funeral sermon, comfort the bereaved church, accept the situation, be faithful unto death and meet him in glory."
