John Dale Robinson was born on July 27, 1821. 

He was a citizen of Franklin Parish for more than fifty years. 

He died very suddenly on February 12, 1898, about 12 o'clock 

at his son's, W.E.  Robinson. 

During the  summer and fall of 1897, he  had had two pretty hard spells 

and it was thought by his family and physicians that he could not survive. 

He had recovered and was in his apparent good health on the morning of his death. 

He ate 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.
