William Robbins, aged ten{?} years, the son of Moses Robbins, a prominent farmer residing near Gilman, was instantly killed by falling from a wagon, which ran over him. He and a little companion tried to climb upon the wagon, and in doing so, young Robbins fell, and the rear wheel passed over his body, breaking his back. He lived only a few minutes.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows he is buried in Prairie View Cemetery in Gilman and that he was born October 15, 1902{?} and died January 30, 1908. However, the gravestone appears to show 6 years, 3 months and 15 days old.
