The numerous and costly floral offerings were born by the following flower bearers, Miss Nellie Coutant, Mrs. S. D. Helm, of Crawfordsville, and Mrs. Harry Hubbard, of Kokomo. The pall bearers were Messrs. D. H. Martin, John Rice, W. K. Wallace, W. E. Nicholson, Warren Ashley and Robert Ross. Mrs. Robinson was a consistent member of the First M. E. Church. Having lived in Crawfordsville all her life she possessed a large and extended circle of friends and acquaintances who will mourn her untimely taking off, in what should have been the prime of life. In the home circle her sweetness of character, influence and loving devotion was most felt, and during the long months of her illness it was the little family circle whose kind and constant administrations alleviated and smoothed the sufferings of this patient and loving mother. -s
