Death From Typhoid Fever.

The entire community was saddened Tuesday morning by the intelligence that French Robinson had passed away. He had been sick about two weeks with typhoid fever and his death was not unexpected during the last few days. He was the youngest son of Harry and Bertha Robinson and about six years old. The bereaved parents and brother have the sympathy of all in their sad affliction.

The remains were taken to Fort Madison Tuesday evening where the funeral was held from the home of Mrs. Robinson's parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Gaston, Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock. The interment was in the Elmwood cemetery where a little more than a year ago these sorrowing parents buried their infant daughter.
