                                OBITUARY
Grace Ann Moon was born to in Liverpool, England, Jan.1,1839 and died at her 
home in Odessa township, Mar. 22, 1906 being a the time of her death aged 67 
years, 2 mos and 21 days.

At the age of 5 years she moved with her parents to Reach, Ont., in which 
vicinity she lived her girlhood days. She was united in marriage to William 
Robinson at Mariposa, Victoria county, Ont., April 12, 1858, and for 48 years 
has shared her joys and sorrows and faithfully discharged the responsible duties 
of wife and mother.

Mr and Mrs Robinson came to Odessa in 1863m settling in the home where they have 
since lived, and from which she went to the father's house above. Eight children 
blessed their home only three of whom are living, a large share of bereavement 
and sorrow surely for one home. The surviving children are David of Spring Lake, 
New Jersey, and John and George of Odessa.

Mrs. Robinson was connected at the age of 16 with the Bible Christian church in 
Canada and on coming to Odessa united with the Berlin Center Methodist Episcopal 
church. She joined the class of the South Berlin M.E. Church when the society 
was formed, and has been a faithful helper through all the years. She was the 
first president of the Ladies Aid Society, which position she held for three 
years and has shown interest in all the work of the church both temporal and 
spiritual.

For the past 7 or 8 moths she has been in intense sufferer, but in it all has 
been patient, seldom uttering a word of complaint. Among her last utterances 
were expressions of praise to God, saying an hour before her death "Isn't it a 
blessed thing to have an assurance of heaven, bless His holy name."

A faithful and affectionate wife, a tender and considerate mother, a kind 
thoughtful neighbor has gone to her eternal home.
