Surnames: Robinson Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/nk.2ADI/808 Message Board Post: Mills County Tribune, Glenwood, Iowa May 24, 1900 Mr. J. Emerson Robinson died at his home in Glenwood Tuesday morning. Mr. Robinson for the past ten years had been troubled with a tumor on the left side of his face and tho small at first it gradually grew larger and more virulent until about six months ago when he was unable to leave his home. From that time on he grew steadily weaker until the end came Tuesday. The deceased was widely known in Mills county, having been clerk of the district court from 1878 to 1888, a period of ten years. Since retiring from public office he has been in the abstract business. He was a man much liked and esteemed and his loss will be felt by not a few who have known him so long and intimately. The funeral services were held at the residence yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, Rev. M. D. Reed of the Congregational church officiating.
