The Evening Star, January 31, 1876
Death of an Old Citizen
Mr. John G. Robinson, one of the oldest residents of the District, died this morning at the residence of his son-in-law, Joseph S. Stettinius, on I street, near 6th. He was 79 years of age.
Capt. R. was a soldier of the war of 1812, and was a sergeant at the battle of Bladensburg. He resided for many years on 7th street, between G and H, but for the last few years lived in the eastern part of the city.
For many years he was one of the lumber inspectors of the city, and under the old corporation was a commissioner, fulfilling in every position his duties to the letter.
He was one of the oldest Odd Fellows in the District--a member of Central Lodge, No. 1, and the Grand Lodge--and for a number of years was the janitor of the hall on 7th street. Both of these bodies make arrangements this evening for his funeral.
