Funeral services for Clayburn Andy Robinson, 89 years of age, were held Sunday, Dec. 26 from the Campbellsville Methodist Church with the Rev. R. L. Sleamaker in charge. Burial was in Brookside. Mr. Robinson died Christmas Eve at his home near here. He was a native of the county, the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Beverly Robinson. He professed faith in Christ early in life and was a devoted member of the Campbellsville Methodist Church. Mr. Robinson was married to Miss Matilda Bowles in 1886 and to this union one daughter and one son, the latter dying in infancy. Surviving is Mrs. J. W. Richerson, his wife and two grandchildren. Pallbearers were: William Crabtree, H. C. Crabtree, Isaac Newcomb, Ray Rice, Charlie Richerson, and C. H. Williams. Honorary were: C. M. Richerson, J. W. Ramsey, H. S. Robinson and Esco Stapp. ~The News-Journal, Thursday, January 6, 1944

A Serious Accident
On Thursday last, two horses attached to a wagon belonging to and driven by Mr. Claiborne A. Robinson, became frightened on the Greensburg Pike, within the corporate limits of Campbellsville, and dashed off at a furious rate. Mr. Robinson was not at all enabled to control them, as they were going down a rather steep grade. The horses left the road and plunged down the rocky bed of the creek. Here, Mr. Robinson became entangled in the lines, and fell from the wagon into the stream, down which he was dragged, feet foremost, for a considerable distance. Finally becoming disengaged, he was picked up in an insensible condition, and removed to the house of Dr. Waddle, where his wounds were dressed by Drs. S. R. Bass and Waddle. His body and limbs were badly bruised, his head dreadfully crushed and gashed, and covered with blood. Fortunately, no bones were found broken. It is believed he will soon recover, although his wounds are of a very painful nature. After a little while, he recovered sufficiently, and was able to give an account how the accident occurred. Having been dragged some distance through the water his clothes were thoroughly saturated. It is probable if he had not been partially protected from the rocks by the water he would have been killed. As it was, it seems almost a miracle that his life was saved. ~Lebanon Standard & Times, Wednesday, May 9, 1883, p. 4
