Today a small party of relatives brought from Omaha the body of Grandmother Elizabeth S. Robinson and buried her in this Ft. Calhoun, Nebraska cemetery beside her son. She was sixty-six years old, at one time a resident here where her son Hosea now in Dakota tried to keep a store. The mother was a very kind gentle, Christian lady and active in building of the Ft. Calhoun Congregational Church. Rev. Jackson of the Pilgrim Congregational Church of Omaha officiated at the cemetery, her pastor, of the Westminster Presbyterian Church, being away from Omaha. Among others were her daughter Mrs. W. H. Allen and husband, the later one of the Missouri State Commissioners at the Omaha Exposition. Mr. Doane, a son by her first marriage and his family, a Mrs. Porter and others. As the time for the funeral was not fixed the writer was the only Calhounite to accompany them to the cemetery.
