 Another
Old Veteran Dies Sunday
April 30, 1922
The death of Isaac Robinson, Newcomerstown
veteran of the Civil War, removes the last surviving member of
the 80th O. V. I. living in this vicinity. Capt. O. C. Powelson,
residing in New Philadelphia is the only surviving line officer
of the regiment.
Isaac Robinson was a son of Thos. and Elizabeth Robinson and was
about 85 years of age at the time of his death. He has lived in
this vicinity practically his entire life. During the Civil War,
Isaac and three brothers answered the call to the colors.
He was united in marriage in November 1868 to Hulda Worth, who
bore him six children. The wife and two children preceded him to
the grave. The surviving children are, Mrs. Mittie Ulrich of
Massillon, Mrs. Lilliie Hudson of Dover, Mrs. Trudie Stewart of
New Philadelphia and Alice Robinson at home (My Great
Grandmother). He also leaves one brother Henry Robinson of
Uhrichsville, 7 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. He died
Sunday, April 30, following an extended illness which was
practically painless and appeared to be nothing more than simply
wearing out.
About three years ago, feeling that he hadn't much longer to
live, Mr. Robinson made complete arrangements for his burial. He
first called on Undertaker J. W. Jones, picked out and paid for
a handsome oak casket, later selected six old comrades for pall
bearers requesting that "Marching Through Georgia" be sung at
the funeral and that the late Hon. John T. Duff preach the
discourse.
His requests, so far as possible, will be carried out at the
funeral which will be held today, Wednesday, at 2 p.m. at the
home on Park Hill road. On account of the death of nearly all
the old comrades named, Sons of the Veterans will act as pall
bearers, and the services will be conducted by Rev. M. L.
Oliver.
