GEORGE D. ROBBINS
On Friday, Feb. 4, 1921, George D. Robbins answered the final call and closed his record of a faithful service to his fellowmen and his God.
Although Mr. Robbins had been declining in health for some months prior to his death and realized that the chances of ultimate recovery were against him, he faced his condition with fortitude and a smile as only a Christian can do.
Mr. Robbins was born Oct. 8, 1867 and was fifty-three years of age and for thirty-seven years, he lived in the same home where he died.
He was married on June 8, 1884, to Miss Charity D. Harrelson who survives him, together with eight children, H.P. Robbins, of Millville, Florida, W.D. Robbins, J.W. Robbins, G.A. Robbins, Edward L. Robbins, all of Andalusia, and one daughter, Mrs. Ollie Davis, having died about two years ago.
He is survived by five brothers and four sisters, E. Robbins, McDavid, Florida, James Robbins, of Dozier,J.A. Robbins, of Florala, W.T. Robbins, of Dozier, S.S. Robbins, of Baker, Florida, Mrs. E.M. Spicer , of Blackman, Florida, Mrs. Martha Hall, of Columbus, Ga., Mrs. Francis Hart, Of Leon, Ala. and Miss Lovie Robbins, of Elba, Ala.
Mr. Robbins joined the Primitive Baptist church at Shiloh in August, 1889 and was ordained as a Deacon in 1909 by Elders K.B. Bracewell,S.B. Wiggins, and H.H. Wyatt and served in this capacity until his death.
An affectionate husband, a tender father, a true friend and an upright citizen and a noble soul passed into the hands of his Maker when George Robbins died. He was simply a true man, with the highest conception of the rights of others, trusting in God and trying to keep his commandments. His faith in his God was better exemplified when on two separate occasions, a few hours before his death, he sang alone and distinct, his favorite hymn "Jesus, and Shall It Ever Be". May we learn a lesson from the life of this good man that will aid us in our struggles to live that it can be said of us in our struggles, to live that it can be said of us as we now truthfully say of him, that in every walk of life, in every position of responsibility and trust, it was his earnest and sincere endeavor to honestly and fearlessly do his his duty as God gave him the right to see his way.
