From Geneva Gazette 3 May 1895Death in Seneca - Mr. Wm. N. Robson, one of the oldest residents of Hall's Corners, died on the 25th ult. aged about 75 years. He was an industrious, intelligent and highly successful farmer and stock raiser, his exhibits of stock at fairs always attracting marked attention. A goodly portion of his income was placed where it would do the most good - in giving his sonssound classical education. For forty years and upwards the deceased was numbered among our respected, steadfast patrons; his death reminds us but too sadly that the list of "old originals" is becoming smaller and smaller with advancing years and will soon become wholly extinct. _______________________________________________ No banners.

From Geneva Gazette 3 August 1894Suicide at Gorham - Last Sunday Miss Hattie, daughter of James Robson of Gorham, aged 25 years, committed suicide by hanging. A correspondent of the Roch. Dem. & Chron. gives the following particulars:She arose and dressed herself very carefully and as she came into the kitchen spoke to her father as usual. He noticed her go out of the house but did not think strange of it until Emma Robson, an older sister, asked where Hattie was. Search was immediately made and in a few minutes she was found hanging in the wagon house. She had fastened a rope around a large beam by standing on the seat of a top buggy and then standing on the cross bar she had let herself down. She was dead when found.

From Geneva Daily Times 17 November 1905Andrew C. Robson, a carpenter, fifty years of age, who resided in the first house north of the Number Nine Presbyterian church, Seneca, died at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon as a result of injuries he received while working on a barn which is being erected on the farm of Clarence Dean at Billsboro. The accident occurred at 8:30 o'clock yesterday morning and as the barn is a considerable distance from the house it was decided to move him at once to his home at Number Nine. At the time the accident occurred Mr. Robson had just commenced shingling the barn. He stepped on one of the roof boards and being a heavy man, the board gave way. In falling he was unable to save himself and after dropping a distance of twenty of twenty feet he struck on the joist of the ground floor of the barn. The force of the fall was sufficient to break both of his legs, dislocate one of his hips, and cause a fracture of the skull. As soon as the accident occurred, Dr. W. C. Grove of this city was called, but before the doctor reached Billsboro, Mr. Robson had been removed to his home. At Number Nine, Dr. D. S. Allen was called and was attending the man when Dr. Grove reached him. The man died from the fracture of the skull and shock at 1 o'clock.Mr. Robson was born a short distance southeast of Number Nine, October 10, 1855, and has lived in the vicinity throughout his life. He was a farmer until twelve years ago, when he gave up farming to devote his entire time to carpenter work. Since that time he has been in constant demand in the farming community south and west of the city, owing to his skill as a mechanic. He was not only an excellent carpenter, but also was an all around mechanic and could take the entire charge of the erection of a building. Although he was not a contractor, he was assisted in building by a gang of from four to six men, whom he kept in constant employment. Besides being the principal carpenter of th! e Number Nine community, Mr. Robson was an action member of Number Nine Presbyterian church, of which he had been sexton for a number of years. He is survived by his aged mother, widow, and one son, Grove W. Robson, all of whom reside at Number Nine. The funeral will take place Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the Number Nine church, Rev. A. B. Temple, pastor of the church officiating. Burial will be at Number Nine. _______________________________________________ No banners. No pop-ups. No kidding. Make My Way your home on the Web - http://www.myway.com

From Geneva Gazette 15 April 1881Samuel Robinson - We had barely time to announce in our last the death of this venerable citizen. The event occurred a few minutes before 3 o'clock p.m. of Friday the 8th inst. The deceased was known to nearly every man, woman and child in Geneva, so long had he gone to and fro among us. He was a native of Tewksbury, Hunterdon county, N. J., born March 29th, 1797 - making his age a few days over 84 years. He emigrated to this state in 1826, and early in the following year settled in Geneva. His first labor was performed in Teall's mill at the outlet. In the few years following he was employed as a teamster by the Messrs. Rumney, merchants and owners of the steamboat on Seneca Lake. Still later and for many years he labored for the Messrs. Hastings, merchants and extensive grain buyers and shippers in their day. Successive merchants like Mr. Hughes, Mr. Cobb, and Messrs. J. W. Smith & Co. found in him reliable and faithful help in packing wool, fruit &c. Without a trade, he was always willing and cheerful to perform any labor that his hands found to do, was never idle if employment could be had. In 1836 Mr. Robinson united by profession of faith with the First Presbyterian Church of this village, and there is good evidence for the belief that he lived ever afterwards the life of a God-fearing and God-serving Christian. Three children were born to him - one son and two daughters - all of whom survive. The son, Joseph, and one daughter, Mrs. Van Tuyl, reside here, and were most affectionate and assiduous in their attention to the aged and loved parent in his last illness, which providentially was of but short duration. In his case the machinery had fairly worn out by age. He fell at last like a shock of corn fully ripe. The funeral of deceased took place last Monday, Rev. Dr. Nelson officiating. Amongst the attendants were all the shopmates of Mr. Van Tuyl from T. Smith & Co.'s steam bending works, the proprietors kindly closing the factory for such purpose. _______________________________________________ No banners. No pop-ups. No kidding.
