Obituary:

Margaret Funston Robinson was born in County Donegal, Ireland, May 1st, 1830. She came to this country in 1842 and lived with her parents in Galena, Illinois until 1850 when she married Mr. George Robinson, and with him went to live on the old homestead a couple of miles west of Hanover. Twelve children came to brighten this home, five of whom are already in that better land beyond with father and mother.
Having been reared by parents who sprang from stock of which Covenanters were made, and who trained her in the Christian faith, she early gave her heart to the Lord, and was, with her husgand, for years a consistent member of the Hanover M.E.Church, and a faithful follower of the Master.
After the death of Mr. Robinson in 1883, she moved to Hanover, where she has since resided. For some years she has been in poor health and for the last few months has suffered the most acute pain, yet she was ever thoughtful of others, even concealing from her own family the full extent of her suffering. Through all her sickness she was an example of the most patient resignation to the Lord's will, calmly waiting for the summons that would set her free and allow her to enter into the joys of a Christian reward. That summons came March 15, 1896, and peacefully she put off her poor pain-stricken body, and sweetly fell asleep in Jesus.
Seven children, with a large circle of friends mourn her loss. The family is situated as follows: James E. in Mountain Grove, Me., W.F., Lincoln, Neb., Etta E., is the wife of Rev. E.A. Coffin of the Detroit conference, Trenton, Mich., Orpha R., is the wife of J.D. Nesbitt, Mission Creek, Neb., G.L. Robinson, Hanover, J.A. Robinson, at home and Bertha M., also at home, and who scarcely left her mother's side during her sickness, and upon whom the blow falls most severly because of this loving care.
The funeral occurred March 18, and was attended by a very large company of friends, who lovingly laid, all that was mortal of her, to rest in "the old church cemetery" by the side of her husband. But for her to live was Christ to die again.
