Mary Olmstead Robison Died Of Old
After a long and lingering illness, Mary Olmstead Robison passed peacefully away in her Richfield home on Tuesday afternoon at the age of 75 years, sadly mourned by her children and friends. Funeral services will be held at the home Thursday and the body will be taken to Fillmore to be laid at final rest. Bishop J. H. Hansen will officiate at the services.
Mary Olmstead Robison, a pioneer of Millard and Wayne counties and well known in Richfield where she resided last, was born August 7, 1848, in Brunson, Michigan. In 1874, after embracing the gospel, she came to Utah and resided in the state ever since. She was the mother of six children, a daughter, Mrs. Stella Robison Sandall of Richfield, and five sons, Frank of Richfield, John of Green River, Henry and Irwin of Loa and Ellis of Torrey. All the children were at her bedside when the beloved pioneer passed away.
The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the bereaved family.
