She was the daughter of Lewis and Martha Walker and was a native of Kentucky and resident of Clark County, Illinois the greater part of her life. She was united in marriage with Richmond Robinson, Oct. 10th, 1850, at Westfield, with whom she lived until the time of his death, Aug. 16th, 1877. To this union was born two children, one of whom, Mrs. Sallie D. McCann, survived her. She was united with the Presbyterian Church soon after the death of her husband and was to the time of her death a consistent and devoted member of that church here in Casey. She was a citizen of the city of Casey since the holidays in 1876. She has been an invalid for many years, and her long years of suffering was borne with the most commendable Christian patience. For ten years past her condition of health was such that her daughter did not deem it safe to leave her at any time. She was a noble character, as any who know her will testify. On the morning of the 17th inst, the writer had a long talk with her on spiritual matters and after Bible quotations and prayer, she expressed great joy in the sacred word and her unwavering faith in the Christ, sating that all was well with her. During the last few days of her life she seemed almost in constant prayer, that she be called from her suffering into the sacred rest with the Savior in whom she so implicitly believed. With her death passes another of Clark County’s pioneers, a noble character and true woman, the friend of humanity, whose broad charity for the mistakes and short comings of others rendered her more liable to apologize for, than to censure them. A friend to the young who looked on the bright hopeful side of life, and courted the sunshine rather than the shadow. The arden friend of young women, who was ever interested in their good nature and being. Beloved by all who kept her, she will not soon be forgotten. From the scrapbook of George W. Orndorff (1854-1934) of Casey & Johnson Twp., Clark County, IL.Transcribed by S.Barhydt, great-granddaughter (folksandmore@yahoo.com). Note: Cannot make out the very end of the obituary. 1994
