Went to Oak Grove to my appointment, had no service, only 5 or 6 there and I don't suppose they went out for church service. Took dinner at Mrs. Mary A. Brannon's, a resident of the Little Brake settlement since 1842. It is interesting to hear her talk of persons and neighbors occurrences in the early settlement of this part of the country. She is the only one except her son, Richard Wiggins, and her brother-in-law, Johnson Wiggins, now living, that were here in 1845. Mr. John D. Robinson, who came to same section of country in 1847, is here, but the past two weeks has been quite sick, not expected to recover but is reported better. He is at his son's Phillip Robinson. 12th February, 1898, Saturday Mr. John D. Robinson, a citizen of this parish for more than fifty years, died very suddenly today about 12 o'clock at his son's, W.E. Robinson. During the past summer and fall, the old gentleman had had two pretty hard spells and it was thought by his family and physicians that he could not survive. But had recovered and was in his apparent good health this morning. Eat his breakfast as usual, walked out in the garden, came back to the house, sat down and was taken ill; by the assistance of his daughter-in-law, W.E.'s wife, he got to bed and died. He was between 76 and 80 years old and had lived near where he died since 1851. He was a good neighbor, a good citizen, addicted to no bad habits, strictly honest but very ever seen at church. What his religious opinion was I never knew. 13th February, 1898, Sunday Mr. Jno. D. Robinson was buried today at his old homestead beside his wife who was buried in 1876. I did not attend the funeral, though my inclination and desire was to do so and I suppose that it was the wish of the family that I should do so. But I have long since made up my mind not to officiate at funerals unless invited to do so. I had an appointment at Oak Grove today and I fully expected a message there to attend funeral, as it was not to take place until eve, and it's only 3 miles. But to my surprise, there was not a person at church. About 12 o'clock I was sent for but the messenger did not find me. I regret the thought of not getting the word.
