Fatal Fall Down Stairs

Mrs. John A. Robinson, whose husband has for a number of years been a justice of 
the peace and a grocer in North York, was fatally injured Monday morning in a 
plunge down the cellar steps at her home.  A lighted lamp which she carried was 
broken and set fire to the building, but the blaze was extinguished by the 
squire, who made timely discovery of his wife’s plight.  The accident occurred 
at about 6 o’clock and Mrs. Robinson died at noon.  She was aged about 52 years.
