Lilly Grace ROBINSON, died at the MOYER fome on Taggart avenue, Tuesday evenng at 6:30 o'clock, age 19 years 9 months. Miss ROBINSON was a faithful christian and lived a selfless life devoting her attention and affection to her younger borthers to whom she was almost a mother. Her own mother having died seven years ago and her father four years ago. She had been ill for nearly three years and the last few months has been confined to her bed. She was brought into town several weeks ago from the family residence east of town, that she might be nearer her family physician, in the hipes that by so doing her life might be prolonged. Four brothers and one sister survive her to mourn her loss. Funeral services were conducted in the Christian church, Thursday morning by her pastor, Rev. J. W. PAINE. THe discourse was appropiate to the occasion. The choir sang "Shall we Meet" and "Over the RIver" two selections of which she was fond. Beautiful flowers were laid on her coffin. Her favorite was the pansy, and a lovely design of pansies was among the offerings.
