MAXWELL.

On Saturday morning 15 inst., Robert Earl, aged 3 yrs., 9 mo., 27 days son of Roland and Mattie Robison, died at the home of his parents, four miles north west of here. He had been sick since last fall. During April and May ho was much better, but took worse and continued to fail until death came. A post mortem examination revealed the fact that he had dropsy of the brain. At least a teacupful of water has accumulated thereon. The funeral was held in Iowa Center on Sunday at two p. m. and was conducted by R. A. Ferguson, who had united the parents in marriage April 4, 1888. The music was furnished by the Elwell choir of the Evangelist church. The attendance was very large. Mr. Robison is a son of Alexander Robison, of Nevada, and Mrs. R. is the daughter of Samuel Whitaker, near Iowa Center.
