• Notes

  (Reference: The Western Spirit, Paola, Miami Co., Kansas, Friday,October 31, 1890, page 3) "The death of Dr. G. W. Robinson at his home in Fontana on the 9th inst. takes from Miami county one of its best citizens. He had suffered for years with lung trouble and last month went to Colorado in the hope that he would be benefitted but no relief came and a brief period elapsed after his return when death relieved him. Dr. Robinson was born in Chester county, Penn., February 26, 1828, and married Miss Hannah M. Riggs in 1853. Later on he graduated in the Medical College in Keokuk, Iowa, and from there he moved with his family to Fontana where he practiced medicine. Four children were born to them, Lemuel H., who died many years ago, Vernon W., Sarah and Ella with their mother survive the good man now gone to the world of promise. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity and an exemplary pillar in the Baptist church. A few years ago he was appointed Health Officer of Miami county, a position he held at the time of his death. The whole community mourns with the family over the departure of a useful and respected citizen."
