ROBBINS - On November 14, 1886, Miss OLIVE D. ROBBINS, a venerable lady of 81 years who resided at No. 47 Liberty St. in Rome, New York, fell on the ice and broke the bone of her right leg at the hip. The fracture was reduced and all seemed doing well for about two months, when she had a stroke of paralysis involving the entire left side, after which she continued to grow weaker day by day till her death, which occurred last Friday afternoon. (February 4, 1887) A post mortem examination made by Drs. N.C. Scudder and A.B. Southwick showed that the broken limb was quite well healed, and that her death was owing to other causes, though it is not improbable that the shock at the time of her accident may have been a factor. Deceased was born in Floyd near the line between that town and Rome, NY, but moved into the village and established herself as a dressmaker in the house where she died 57 years ago. She was first cousin to the late Israel Denio, and a grand-daughter of John Robbins, who came to this town from Bennington, Vermont, 95 years ago. Two sisters survive her -- Mrs. Margaret Comstock of New York city and Mrs. Mary Fuller of Central Square, Oswego County, NY; also an adoped daughter, Mrs. G. A. Sherman of Rome, NY. She was buried from her late residence Monday afternoon. The services were conducted by Rev. Dr. Taylor of the Presbyterian Church. A. Ethridge, L. E. Elmer, Rufus Keeney and David Ross acted as bearers. The interment took place in the Wright Settlement cemetery. (RCFeb11/1887)
