ROBISON, DELBERT
(23 Jun 1927, Sayre Headlight, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
ROBISON'S INJURIES ARE FATAL
Died Saturday Night and Buried at Delhi on Monday Afternoon.
Last week we mentioned the serious illness of Delbert Robison, better
known among his young companions as "Dutch," at a swimming pool near his
home in the Delhi section, and the fact that he had been taken to the
University Hospital, in Oklahoma City, where hope had been abandoned for
his recovery.
Last week it was hoped that he might be moved to the home of his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Robison, but his condition would not permit this, and
he passed away at the hospital last Saturday night.  The remains were
brought to his home and funeral services held at Delhi on Monday
afternoon, with interment at the same place.
Delbert was a popular young man among his companions and his death casts a
gloom over the entire section, while all Beckham county extends sympathy
to the bereaved parents.
