Edith Bernice Robinson, twelve year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Robinson of Jackson township, died Wednesday evening, August 18, after a short illness. Edith had complained of trouble with a tooth and about August 11 she had it lanced and all thought she was recovering. But the tooth became infected and blood poisoning set in. At noon on Wednesday she complained of being weak, and from then on she became gradually worse, until she died between seven and eight o'clock that evening.

Funeral services were conducted at the Maple Grove Church by the Reverend Ira Hawk of Keota, and burial was made in the Winterset cemetery.
