Death came to the home of Clay and Dewey Robinson and called to heaven a beloved father, N. E. Robinson. The death angel came only 25 days ago and took from them a sweet loving mother, Mrs. Mary Robinson. 

Nathan Elijah Robinson was born June 22, 1846 and passed to his reward May 1, 1932 at his home here. Funeral services were conducted at the M. E. Church Monday, May 2, 1932. Bro. Luton officiated.
Interment was at the Nocona Cemetery, arranged by J. H. Cone Funeral Home. 

Mr. Robinson was born in North Carolina and at the age of 9 years, moved with his
parents to Missouri, living there until the war broke out and he was called and
served 20 months for his country. After the war he moved to Texas and united
with the Methodist Church at age 21. At the age of 28, he met and married Miss
Mary Northcutt. To this union, seven children were born, three dying in infancy.
One daughter MRS. J. D. Gray preceded him seven years ago. His dear companion
preceded him April 6, 1932. Mr. Robinson had been a cripple since February 1929
when he broke his hip. He never complained, always smiling. Mr. Robinson leaves three children to mourn him, Clay, Dewey and Mrs. A. L. Cardwell, 14
grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren.
