   ROBINSON
   Memorial to Lizzie ROBINSON
   A memorial letter was sent to Muscogee Nation News this issue for
   Lizzie Harjo ROBINSON.  She was born June 15, 1903, west of Okemah.
   She died of cancer May 6, 1989. The wake and funeral services were
   conducted by Rev. Charles Little, pastor of Witt Memorial, Tulsa, and
   Rev. Jess (Buddy) SULLIVAN, District Superintendent of the Western
   District of the Methodist Indian Mission Conference, Anadarko. The
   Rev. Earl DUNSON, retired minister from Glenpool, conducted the
   graveside service at Memorial Park Cemetery in Tulsa. She attended
   school at Nuyaka, near Okemah, and Dwight Mission, Marble City, for
   grade schools; she attended high school at Haskell Institute in
   Lawrence, KS, in the 1920s during the years of the famed undefeated
   football team. Although Springfield Indian Methodist Church at Okemah
   was her home church, she was a member of Witt Memorial Church in Tulsa
   where she once was very active in Methodist Women for many years. For
   the last few years of her life, she was a resident of Homestead
   Nursing Home in Tulsa. She was the daughter of the late Tulsey and
   Molly Yahola HARJO. She was married to Rev. Clem V. ROBISON, who
   preceded her in death in 1978. He had been a supply pastor, mostly
   serving Concharty Indian Methodist Church. She was survived by her
   daughter, Kathleen BUTLER of Tulsa; her step daughter, Dorothy AYRES
   of Reno, NV; and grandchildren Jack BUTLER, Denise FORD, Ralph BUTLER,
   and Terry BUTLER, all of Tulsa, and Kerry BUTLER of Hulbert; one
   brother, Johnson HARJO, a sister, Melissa TIGER, and a sister-in-law,
   Susie Robinson FOSTER, all of Okemah.
