Robert B. Wilkins Dies in New Orleans

Robert B. Wilkins, a prominent planter of the Belevue section, died in New 
Orleans Saturday, May 10th. His remains were shipped here and buried in the 
family burial ground.

He married Miss Pointer, who preceded him to the grave some years ago, and 
from this union there were born two children, the late Mrs. Felix Dejauche 
and Perry Wilkins.

He died as he lived, full of honor and of years. With most men, as they 
become aged the sink into obscurity. Their race being run they spend the 
remainder of their existence in peace and quiet, free from the maddening 
crowd.

With the lamented dead it was otherwise. He never grew old. His powers to 
think and work were as masterful at death as at any time during his busy and 
eventful career. He was always eager for the fray.
