ROBINSON, JOSEPH A.
(The Olustee Democrat, Olustee, Jackson Co, Ok, 25 Apr 1918)
DIED;  JOSEPH A. ROBINSON was born in Bosque Co., Texas, Aug 16, 1872.  He
was united in marriage to Miss Ada Armstrong June 15, 1896.  To this union
were born four children, two boys dying while young, Lottie and Ruby are
now living.  He was one of the first of the Childress Creek community in
Bosque Co. to move to Oklahoma; later, a number of families came from
there and the most of them were represented at the funeral services.  He
lived in and near Olustee the last 18 years, farming, carpentering and
managing gins until his health began to fail about a year ago.  He took a
two months vacation in Colorado last summer but it did him no good.  He
died of acute nephritis on April 22, at 6:15 A.M.  Rev. S. N. West
preached the funeral in the Baptist church to one of the largest
congregations ever seen in Olustee on a week day, thus testifying to his
popularity.  Besides his wife and two daughters, three brothers and three
sisters survive him:  W. R. Robinson, Hillsboro, Texas; R. A. Robinson,
Ada Okla; W. A. Hunt, Marysville, Tex; Mrs. A. V. Lee, Hillsboro, Tex;
Mrs. W. M. Townsley, Meridian, Tex.; Mrs. Ella Fountain, Rochester,
