Death of Mack Robinson

Mack Robinson, who had been a resident of this county for over 60 years, died at the Iowa Sanitarium at Nevada, Sunday, March 29th, at 2 o'clock. Mr. Robinson had only been ill for a short time and his death came as a shock to his friends. He was 64 years of age and neuralgia of the heart caused his death.

Mr. Robinson was born in Washington county, Virginia, March 24, 1866, and he came to this county with his parents when he was but one year of age. He was married to Alice Foster, May 5, 1893, and they made their home for a number of years on a farm south of Winterset. They were the parents of seven children, one of whom preceded the father in death, Harry, in 1914.

The Robinsons moved to Winterset nine years ago, and for five years owned and operated the Winterset hospital, in the big brick house on South First street.

Mr. and Mrs. Robinson both became ill about a week ago and they were taken in the ambulance to the Nevada hospital last Friday. Mrs. Robinson's condition still remains very critical, and she is not aware of her husband's death.

Mr. Robinson is survived by his wife and six children: Mrs. Eva Giddings, of Glendale, California; Everett Robinson, in the home; Mrs. Gladys Simmons of Peru; Mrs. Grace Smith of Truro, and Mrs. Kathryn Hiatt and Mrs. Edith Jamison of Winterset. He also leaves two brothers, D. R. Robinson of Osceola and Charles Robinson of Winterset.

The funeral services of Mr. Robinson will be conducted at Tidrick's funeral home this afternoon (Thursday) at 2 o'clock by Elder R. S. Breese of Ottumwa. Burial will be in the Peru cemetery.
