LAID AT REST

The Funeral of the Late L. W. Robinson Largely Attended

The remains of the late L. W. Robinson were laid to rest 
at Carson yesterday.  The funeral was unusually largely 
attended, many of the friends of the deceased going to 
Carson on the special train provided.  Large numbers of 
the G. A. R., Knights of Pythias, Battery A, Rathbone 
Sisters, Miners’ Union and Locomotive Firemen all of 
which organizations the deceased was a member, attended 
the services a large delegation of the Locomotive Firemen 
coming from Wadsworth.  The services at the house on Ridge 
street, which were conducted by the Rev. Eddie of Carson, 
were short.  When the train pulled out at 1:45 there was 
not even standing room in the two cars provided.  At Carson 
the cortege which followed the remains to the cemetery was 
an imposing one.

The delegations were augmented by a squad from the Carson 
Guard and the Firemen from Wadsworth.  Besides the Episcopal 
services the G. A. R. funeral services were said at the grave.  
The Battry (sic) Band furnished music and a farewell saute 
(sic) was fired.  The train of two cars was so crowded going 
down that the railroad company donated an extra car for the return.  
The train arrived in Virginia at about 4:30 o’clock.
