Thomas Robinson died Tuesday at the home
of his son, Geo. E. Ronbinson on south Washington Street. About two weeks ago
Mr. Robinson took a severe cold and this developed into the grip, causing
death. The funeral was held at 12:30 o’clock a.m. Thursday at the residence and
the remains were taken to Greencastle for interment. Thomas Robinson was born
in Shelby Co KY Nov 11, 1811. In 1854 he was married to Miss Eliza Ann Talbot
and two years later they came to Indiana, settling at Greencastle. They resided
there until the death of Mrs. Robinson in 1881, when Mr. Robinson came to this
city to live with his son. Mr. Robinson was a member of the first board of
trustees of Asbury (DePauw) University and served as Secretary for a number of
years. While residing in this city he has made many friends who will be
surprised and grieved to learn of his death. - kbz
