Death of E.B. Robinson
The following clipping from Hastings daily papers give the particulars in regard to the illness and subsequent death of E.B. Robinson, father of our deputy treasurer C.D. Robinson:
“E.B. Robinson yet holds to that thread of life which keeps the soul from flying to its rest and peace beyond the river. Sixteen days have passed since he has taken a morsel of food or stimulants, and noting has passed his lips but ice water. We were allowed to look at him this morning and he said perfectly plain and distinct that he should not want anything till Monday morning. He is a sight to behold being reduced to a mere skeleton.”
“Edward Benjamin Robinson, after a lingering illness, died at the family home, at 8:30 Sunday morning, aged 63 years. Mr. Robinson has been in poor health for several years. A complicated liver and kidney trouble laid hold of him last fall. He took to his bed last April and steadily grew worse. The funeral took place from the residence at three o’clock this afternoon. Deceased leaves a wife and three children, two sons and one daughter. The daughter, Mrs. Gage, lives in Chicago. One son, Noble, resides in this city. The other son is a resident of Red Cloud.”
