He was united in marriage with Edna ROTH on January 18, 1925; the ceremony being solemnized at the present residence of the Robbins', 217 West 11th Street. Mr. Robbins was a member of the Rochester Methodist church and served as a trustee of that edifice.
The survivors are his wife; two brothers, Charles E. ROBBINS, of this city; Roy ROBBINS, of Miami, Ind.; three sisters, Mrs. Dora PYLE, Mrs. Bert COLE, both of this city; Mrs. Albert MARTINDALE, of Peru, and a number of nieces and nephews.
