ACCIDENTAL DEATH - About five years ago Jay ROBBINS, a son of Mr. Cyrus H. ROBBINS, moved to Miami county and has since resided there. He lived about three miles north of Peru, and last Friday he and a neighbor were engaged in cutting timber in the woods, and late in the afternoon they were chopping a tree down, when the ax, used by Jay's assistant, flew off the handle and striking him (Robbins) on the thigh, lacerated the muscles and arteries so badly that he died five hours afterward from loss of blood.
The remains were brought here Saturday evening and taken to the residence of Sylvester McKEE on north Main street, from where the funeral took place Sunday morning interment being made in Odd Fellows cemetery.
Deceased was about thirty-three years old and leaves a wife and four small children to mourn the loss of a kind husband and father. May He who tempers the winds to the shorn lambs comfort the widow and fatherless children in these their hours of awful grief.
