Robert Earl, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. Roland Robinson, living four miles northwest of town, died last Saturday morning after a long illness, aged nearly four years. The trouble was dropsy of the brain. Different physicians were called, but a cure seemed impossible. The funeral took place on Sabbath afternoon at Iowa Center, and was conducted by Rev. R. A. Ferguson. The music was furnished by the Elwell choir of the Evangelical church. There was a very large attendance. Mr. Robinson is a son of Alex Robinson, of Nevada, and Mrs. R. is a daughter of Samuel Whitaker, near Iowa Center.
