Robert WILKINSON died in Lincoln, November 18, 1887, of heart disease, in
the 78th year of his age. For two weeks preceding his death Mr. WILKINSON
was an intense sufferer, and during that time his patience, courage,
resignation and faith was truly remarkable, casting the sunshine of Hope
over his departure. His dying counsels as a husband and father were full of
wisdom and affection.

Mr. WILKINSON was born in Durham, England. He has resided in this country
for the last twenty years. He leaves a widow and three children--Mrs.
Millard HOSKINS, a daughter by his first wife, and two sons by his widow,
who, with them remains upon the homestead. Other relatives reside in the
vicinity, except one sister in Durham, England.

The funeral was on Sunday, the 29th, the attendance being such as to
manifest sympathy with the bereaved and respect for the dead.
