ROBBINS, GEORGE E.(SRGP 6764)
George E. Robbins, son of the late Dexter and Mary Robbins, was
born January 7, 1856, and died January 4, 1923. The direct cause
of his death was a fall on the ice, February 3, of last year and other
diseases developed, and in spite of all medical care he grew gradually
worse, when heart failure came at last, swift and sure. He was the
last of his family, his brothers and sisters having all passed on before,
and lived and died on the farm, where he was born and on which his grandfather,
coming from Massachusetts, settled over a hundred years ago. Surrounded
by the paternal acres and the many improvements and buildings, which he
had made to his inheritance which he loved and held as a trust to be passed
on. He attended school near home, known as the “Robbins Hill School”,
later attending the Mansfield Normal and fitting himself for a teacher.
He taught school for several years in the district schools of Sullivan
township and many still remember him as a teacher, conscientious and fair
to all. He was married to Charlotte J. Hulslander, of Sullivan, June
25, 1879, to which union was born one child, Mabel Robbins, now Mrs. John
Jaquish, of Tunkhannock, Pa., who live to mourn the loss of a devoted husband
and a unselfish father. He was a successful farmer, a man of much
political influence, having held many township offices, all with efficiency
and honesty. He was town clerk and secretary for many years.
He was a good man, and his word could always be depended upon. Mr.
Robbins was a member of Sullivan Grange, the Masonic Lodge and was to be
taken into the P.O.S. of A. As an honorary member at the time of his fall.
He was closely affiliated with the social life of his community, and will
be best remembered by his gift of song. George had a marvelous voice
of wide compass, clear, full and melodious. Technique and training
had achieved its highest results for he sang naturally with expression
and as plain to understand as a spoken word, his voice blending perfectly
with that of his wife, who was herself an accomplished musician, made a
rare combination of musical ability, no less marvelous than the melody
of his voice was their willingness to give their time and strength for
two score of years for the benefit of the people of their community.
Even within a few months of his death, the last time he ever sang in public
being at the church funeral of Mr. Ed Maine, his clear message of melody
accompanied by his wife made many a heart mourning the loss of loved ones
less desolate, and made our secular gatherings more joyful and more worthwhile,
giving new hope and love to all. The funeral was largely attended
from his late home, Sunday, January 7, the anniversary of his birth.
Rev. Hall, of the M.E. Church, officiating assisted by Rev. James, a close
friend for more than thirty years. The Masonic Quartet, of Elmira,
sang sympathetically three beautiful songs. The Masonic ritual was
used at the grave. Burial in Mainesburg Cemetery. The
pall bearers were: T.H. Chamberlain, T.F. Hotchkiss, W.W. Allen,
L.M. Palmer, W.J. Squires, and J.N. Strange.

California where he engaged in the merchandising field. About four years
ago they returned to Colo., purchased and lived again on a ranch near his
brother Russell. He is survived by his wife Margarite; brothers, Charles

SMITH - Death of Roy B. Smith - To John J. and Elvira Smith,
pioneers on Elk Run, Gaines township, were born nine children, seven sons
and two daughters. It has for several years been a subject of remark by
those familiar with the facts that so large a family circle remained unbroken
for so many years, the youngest now being in his fortieth year. The death
of Roy b. Smith on March 5 (1919) marked the first break in this large
family. Roy B. Smith was born November 4, 1866 at Marshlands, Gaines Township,
was educated in the common schools and at the Mansfield Normal School.
He taught school one term, was employed as traveling salesman for some
time. During the past fifteen or more years he had carried on quite extensive
lumbering
operations for the Goodyear Company in Potter county. He was twice married.
On May 31, 1890, he married, at Dresden, Yates county, NY, Miss Edith Brewster.
To this union were born two sons, 2nd Lieut. Paul R. Smith, a former Wellsboro
High School teacher, at present retained by the government in the chemical
department at Washington, D. C. and Harold who was recently discharged
from Camp Meade and permitted to be with his father a few days before his
death. His first wife died Jan. 19, 1908. On June 23, 1910, he married
Miss Adda McClain, of New Brighton, Pa. a woman of rare ability as a teacher
and singer, who has endeared herself to all the family as well as to the
whole community. To this union were born two children, who survive, Dale,
ages seven, and Jean, in her fifth year. These, with six brothers and two
sisters, are left to mourn the untimely death of this husband, father and
brother. Long will the remembrance of his smiling countenance and kindly
words be held sacred by all who came in contact with him. Mr. Smith was
a great reader and was a careful student of current events, with whom it
was a pleasure to converse. Strong in argument yet always considerate of
the opinion of those with whom he might not agree. He was for many years
a member of the Baptist church of Marshlands and for several years was
teacher of a Men’s class in Sunday School. The funeral was held at the
home, The remains were taken to their last resting-place by the sons, Paul
and Harold, and four brothers, Dewitt, Eugene, Charles and Dayton. The
service was conducted by a former pastor, Rev. J. Irving Reese of Northumberland,
Pa; interment in the Elk Run Cemetery.
“The circle is broken - one seat is forsaken -
One bud from the tree of our friendship is shaken,
One heart from among us no longer shall thrill
With joy in our gladness, or grief in our ill.”
