A Prominent Figure Passes from Our Midst
Universal sorrow is expressed over the death of Col. James R. Robinson, who passed away at 6:15 o’clock last evening at his residence, 314 Poplar street, after several weeks illness of pneumonia. Mr. Robinson was born in Philadelphia, and would have been sixty-eight years of age next month. He leaves a widow, Mary L. Robinson, whose maiden name was Meeds. He also leaves one son, Daniel R. Robinson, manager of the Robinson Amusement Company, who arrived in the city last night, an hour after his father’s death bringing with him Dr. Hanley, a noted physician and specialist of Cincinnati. An only brother, Charles W. Robinson, a capitalist of New Orleans, is now on his way to be present at the funeral services, which will take place at the residence at one o’clock Saturday afternoon. Miss Alice Meeds sister of Mrs. Robinson, is also expected from Pittsburg. The remains will be taken on the 2:15 train tomorrow afternoon to North Vernon, where the interment will take place. The deceased operated a stone quarry prior to leaving Philadelphia, and was engaged in the milliners business here and at North Vernon. He was a member of the 56th Indiana regiment and served in various capacities of usefulness during the Civil War, earning the title of Captain. The honorary title of Colonel came through his connection with the Grand Army of the Republic. He was an enthusiastic member of Alois O. Bachman Post of this city, and was on the staff of the State Commander as Inspector General. He was a member of the Order of Knights of Honor and the Knights and Ladies of Honor. He was a broad minded, whole-souled, honorable gentleman, and a patriotic, public-spirited citizen. He was a charitable man, peculiar in his views and outspoken on all the questions and topics of the times, politically was an ardent Republican. Genial in disposition, charitable in benevolence, upright in that which goes to make up a noble manhood, energetic in his business relations, his life in our midst has been one of usefulness. Taken all in all, we shall not soon look upon his like again. Peace to his ashes and rest to his soul. – Madison Courier
