Death was pronounced due to a blood clot on the lungs caused indirectly by a fracture of the leg suffered in a fall about four weeks ago. She had practically recovered from the fracture of the leg, received when she slipped and fell on the ice near her home almost a month ago. The blood clot was pronounced to be due to the same fall by the family physician, who arrived shortly after she had expired. Mrs. Robison was born at Frankstown, June 30, 1865, being Mary E. Cruse, daughter of Michael and Anna Cruse. She was married to Samuel Robison thirty-four years ago and is survived by her husband and seven children: Clyde, Earl, Chester, Raymond, Esther, Paul and Alma, all of this city. She is also survived by one brother, Calvin Cruse, of Frankstown, and two sisters, Mrs. Jennie Rayburg, of Los Angeles, Cal., and Mrs. Blanche Walker, of Altoona, as well as five grandchildren.
