Burial is possibly in a unmarked grave at the Robinson family plot at Naramata cemetery. Unfortunately I have been unable to confirm the burial at this time because the records at the cemetery were not organized or properly maintained over the years. Many of the current records only have partial names or no burial and death dates.

Obituary

DR. WILLIAM L. ROBINSON, provincial pathologist in Ontario for 40 years, died at Toronto General Hospital on March 26. Born in Portage La Prairie, Man., in 1885, he attended McMaster University and later the University of Toronto where he received his degree in medicine in 1913. For a short time he served as medical officer for construction crews building the railway through the Kettle Valley in the Rocky Mountains. In 1914 he joined the pathology department of the University of Toronto and, apart from service as medical officer at No. 4 Canadian General Hospital in England during World War I, he remained with the department until his death. In addition to his work as professor of pathology at the University of Toronto, associate director of the pathology department and a lecturer in medical jurisprudence, Dr. Robinson was also consulting pathologist to the chief coroner's office, the Toronto General and Sunnybrook Military Hospitals. In the Noronic disaster of September, 1949, he played a key role in the work of identifying the victims. He is survived by one son and one daughter.
