ROBINSON, WILLIAM S. B./Source: Alton Telegraph, April 30, 1885
From Bethalto – Another old landmark gone. Passed away from this life on the morning of April 26, William S. B. Robinson of Liberty Prairie; aged 75 years. Mr. Robinson was born in North Carolina, and came to this county with his father's family about the year 1815, and settled in Edwardsville Township near the north line. When beginning life for himself, he came to Fort Russell Township and improved the farm on which he resided (excepting two years) to the time of his death. Early in life he united with the Presbyterian Church, in which he remained a consistent member and a true Christian. He was at the head and beginning of Sunday Schools at home, and continued his work as long as he felt himself to be useful. Many of the younger citizens will remember his earnest, and continued work during their lives. As a neighbor, and in all business transactions, no one was ever more kind and honorable. He leaves three sons, and they can claim no higher merit than that they are the sons of the community's friend, William S. B. Robinson. The funeral took place Tuesday morning from the family residence, and was very largely attended. The remains were taken to the Upper Alton Cemetery for burial.
NOTES:
William S. B. Robinson was born August 10, 1810, in Lincoln County, North Carolina. He was the son of Joseph Robinson (1775-1841) and Jane White Robinson (1778-1834. William married in 1830 to Letitia White (1810-1879). They bought 160 acres on the Alton-Greenville Road, now Route 140, six miles north of Edwardsville. The sons of William and Lettitia were: Lewis (born about 1832); Joseph A. (born about 1834); William and Sidney, twins (born in 1836); and John (born 1838).

ROBINSON, JOHN S. (LIEUTENANT)/Source: Alton Telegraph, January 13, 1865
Civil War Soldier; Adjutant of the Brigade
We regret to announce the death of this gallant and able young man. He was raised in this city [Alton], and was among the first who responded to the call of the country when the war broke out, and has been active in the service ever since. At the terrible battle which took place at Allatoona [Georgia] some months since, where our troops displayed such unprecedented bravery and skill, and a mere handful of them foiled [Confederate Lt. General John Bell] Hood's entire army, he fell wounded through the lungs. It was hoped for some time that he would recover, but we were informed this morning that contrary to these hopeful expectations, he had died, and that his corpse is hourly expected to arrive in our city. We have been requested to say that on the arrival of his remains in the city, suitable funeral services will take place. His aged parents have the heartfelt sympathy in their sad bereavement of our entire community, and it is hoped they may receive abundantly of that support and strength which the Christian religion alone can impart.
Funeral of Lieutenant John S. Robinson
Source: Alton Telegraph, January 20, 1865
There was a very large concourse of citizens and soldiers attending the funeral services of this young and lamented officer, yesterday morning at the Baptist Church. The house was filled to its utmost capacity, and many were unable to find admittance. Colonel Richard Rowett of the Seventh Regiment was present on the occasion, having come from his home in Carlinville, where he is slowly recovering from a wound received in the Allatoona fight. The Rev. Mr. Jameson, the pastor of the church, conducted the services on the occasion in a very fitting and appropriate manner. After the services were concluded, the many friends of the deceased were permitted to take a last look upon his remains. His features were remarkably well preserved considering the number of days that had elapsed since his death. The military then took possession of his corpse. A suitable number of Lieutenants being detailed to act as pallbearers, the procession moving toward the cemetery, headed by a band of music. Lieutenant Robinson volunteered in the 7th Illinois Regiment while it was employed in Alton as a guard for the military prison in 1861, and again re-enlisted as a veteran. He early rose to the rank of Lieutenant, and was soon made the Adjutants of the Regiment, which position he filled with credit to himself and to the great satisfaction of the regiment. But for some time previous to his receiving his fatal wound, he had been acting Adjutant of the Brigade, of which Colonel Rowett was in command. To give some idea of the terrible fighting which the 7th Regiment was engaged when he fell, it is only necessary for us to state that one man out of every two of that regiment was either killed or taken prisoner at Allatoona. The remainder of the men are now with Sherman at Savannah. We are requested, in behalf of the family and friends, to return thanks to Lieutenant Colonel Kuhn for the military escort and band furnished on the occasion. [Note: Lieutenant Robinson is buried in the Alton City Cemetery.
