ROBINSON.—In this city, Nov. 20, of typho-malarial fever, after an illness of three weeks. Mrs. Arlina M. Robinson, wife of Capt. R. R. Robinson, in the 40th year of her age.
Mrs. Robinson was born in Dryden, Tompkins County, New York, December 31, 1838. Her parents removed to Michigan when she was six months old, settling in the village of Albion.
She availed herself of the advantages of that educational centre, and graduated from Albion College In the class of ‘60. One year after her graduation, she was married to Robert R. Robinson. After Capt. Robinson returned from the army at the close of the war, he came with his young wife to make a home in Greenville where they have since resided. Mrs. Robinson leaves a family of three little girls with the bereaved and stricken father. Few families could so ill spare such a mother. They have the deep sympathy of many warm friends.
Mrs. Robinson lived a quiet life among us, but she made a place for herself among good people. In many of the best activities of the community, social, literary, reformatory, religious, her loss will be severely felt. She had a fine and well cultivated mind. Amid the cares of her family, she maintained her knowledge of French, music, and painting. — With her, these were not mere accomplishments. She gave to others an impulse to their study and has left fruits of her labor and taste and enthusiasm behind her. She was full of music, and had a rare touch of her own for the keys. Her pencil and brush, too, were kept busy unto the last. With the history and literature and criticism of art she kept pace, and she left specimens of her own taste and skill that her friends will not soon let perish. The culture she embodied can be ill spared from the society of which she was a quiet, unostentatious member. She was most endeared to her friends by her kindly spirit and generous heart. Her last illness was acute and painful beyond expression. But amid it all her unselfish regard for the comfort of those about her was constant and most touching.
To the natural qualities of her mind and heart, were also added the requirements of grace. She was a Christian, uniting herself with the Congregational Church of Greenville June 4, 1869. And the discipline of life, of which she had her full share, but seemed to perfect her character for the divine companionship of God and heaven. Her mantle may well fall upon many.

Robert Robinson, now of Luther, last week gave Greenville a day's visit. Old citizens remember "Cap." well. He had a meat market a long time and lived next south of the Wm. Deary home.
In a 1923 article about her husband, it stated, "She was a woman of rare talent, a painter of considerable ability and famous as an author. She contributed to some of the largest magazines of that day and was widely read." She graduated from Albion College, Class of 1860. Her daughters were Nellie Peabody and Floy Gale.
