OBITUARY: Willie T. Robbins, 23 Dec 1889 - Smith County, TX Submitted by Vicki Betts 7 December 2002 Copyright. All rights reserved. http://usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ***************************************************************** TEXAS CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE, January 23, 1890, p. 7, c. 3 ROBBINS.—Willie T. Robbins, son of J. W. and Mrs. J. W. Robbins, was burn July 14, 1884 and died at Tyler, Texas, December 23, 1889. Willie was a bright, dutiful and affectionate child. He had been taught to love the Savior of all mankind; to hate sin and love righteousness. He was the joy of the home, but alas, he is gone. His sickness was severe, but of short duration. It is well with the child. God has taken him to a more blessed and beautiful home, where sorrow, pain and death can never enter. Live on, dear father and mother, in the Christian faith, and after awhile you will find your darling boy again. Weep not, fond friends, another beautiful treasure awaits you beyond the valley and shadow of death. I trust the next meeting with Willie will be in the city of peace, where no rude alarms of war will ever be heard, and where there shall be no more sorrow and death. T. P. SMITH.
