Summer Thair Robinson was born September 5, 1845 near Blackstone, Mass. On September 7, 1870 at Marion, Ill, he was married to Miss Sarah Jane Tatman. To them we're born seven children , two sons dying in infancy. Mr Robinson was a soldier in the War of the Rebellion, Enlisting in the Union army at Valparaiso, Ind. when but seventeen years of age and serving two years and three months. After his discharge from the army he made his home at Valparaiso until the spring of 1876, when he moved to Dewitt county, Ill. From that locality he came in 1876 with his family to Sac county, residing on a farm until removal to Sac City about thirty-seven years ago. Mr. Robinson became a Christian when yet a young man, being converted in a tent while in the army. After he came home he united the Methodist Episcopal church and later was a local preacher. Old residents will remember his zeal in such capacity, when he conducted revival meetings in schoolhouses and churches. Later he united with the Free Methodist church and joined the Platte River conference in Nebraska, still keeping his home in Sac City. For a number of years he labored as an evangelist until the condition of his health forbade further activities. Owing to his advancing years, his health had been failing For about a year but he was confined to his home for only about two weeks. He is survived by his wife and five children - Edmond F. Of Milford, Iowa; Harry C. Of Sac City; George of Nemaha; Ella wife of A.C. McIntyre of Verndale, Minn.; and Laura, wife of Guy Baichtal of Arnolds Park, Iowa. He also leaves seven grandchildren and one great grandchild, one brother and one sister. His children were all present at his funeral with the exception of Mrs. McIntyre, who had been at his bedside but was compelled to go home shortly before his death. Of his sincerity and devotion to the cause he served there will be none among those who knew him to testify adversely and those who under his teachings were led to a Christian experience will rise up to call him blessed.
