The Obituary of Purl Robinson

17 August 1895 - 7 September 1917

From the Cohocton Index, 17 September 1917

Springwater - The community was greatly shocked Friday morning on learning of the death of Purl Robinson at the Homeopathic hospital at Rochester, where he had been taken for an operation following an automobile accident last Tuesday afternoon. His remains were brought to his home Friday afternoon, where the funeral was held Monday at 2 p.m. Rev. W. W. Brown of Avoca, a former pastor of the M. E. Church, conducted the services, assisted by Rev. W. H. Rothrock, who spoke words of comfort to the bereaved ones.

The deceased was the youngest son of Sheldon and Belle Robinson, a former wife, who died several years ago. He was twenty-two years of age the 17th of August.

Purl was of a happy, sunny disposition and will be greatly missed by a host of young friends and associates.

A year ago last January he was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Snyder, and during their short married life have lived very happily, and this is indeed a sad blow to the young wife.

He leaves to mourn his loss his wife, father, mother, three brothers George, Claude and Donald; three uncles, Alonzo of Scranton, Pa., Clinton of Kansas City, and Mr. and Mrs. Ebenezer Robinson of this place, besides several cousins and other relatives and a large circle of friends.

The Odd Fellows and Rebekahs attended the funeral in a body. The floral pieces were numerous and beautiful and were silent witnesses of the esteem in which the young man was held. It seems sad indeed that one so young should be taken from our midst, and the sympathy of the community is extended to the family in their hour of affliction.

The bearers were Hubert Mack, Charles Brewer, George Price, Frank Jones, David White and Carl Frarey.
