Name of Deceased: ROBISON, Elizabeth REDMAN
Name of Newspaper: Carlinville Democrat
Date of Obituary: 12 Aug 1897 
Obituary: Washington--ELIZABETH REDMAN was born in Frankford Co.,
Indiana September 6, 1822. At the age of 8 she came with her parents to this
county. She was united in marriage to PRESLEY ROBISON on March 23,
1849.  Their children were: William H.; Isaac N.; George C.; James A.;
Marshal; Lona A. and M. Belle. The husband and two of the children – James
and Marshall preceded her to the world beyond. In February 1869 she united
with the Baptist Church at Bethel and since has been a faithful member of that
church. "Aunt Betty" as she was familiarly called, has lived in this community
a great number of years and has enjoyed good health until about 6 years ago
when she was stricken with paralysis from which she never fully recovered.
About 5 weeks ago she was taken seriously ill. Everything was done for her
relief and comfort by loving hands. She bore her suffering patiently until
Wednesday at 7:45p.m. when she quietly fell asleep to awake in heaven.
She was a true devoted wife, a kind and loving mother and a good neighbor, 
always ready to lend a helping hand in time of need. With her kindness to
everyone she endeared herself to all who knew her. The remains were
followed to the Asbury Church on Thursday morning August 5 by a
large concourse of sorrowing fiends. Funeral services at 10:00a.m. 
conducted by Rev. Fitzgerald, of Greenfield. The burial was
immediately after in the cemetery nearby. The family has the sympathy
of all in their bereavement.
