MRS. HANNAH ROBINSON
Hannah Zink, daughter of Samuel and Catherine Hanawalt Zink was born near Stonerstown, Bedford County, Pennsylvania, March 5, 1828, and died at her home in Buda, Illinois, Jan. 13, 1923, aged 97 years, 16 mo and 8 days.
At the age of seventeen, she came with her patents to Illinois and they located on what is now known as the Delta Lay farm, adjoining Buda to the west, and here April 15, 1847 united in marriage with John H. Robinson.
They began housekeeping on the farm two miles northeast of Buda, now occupied by Herman Madsen. Eleven children came to bless this home and while having the care of a large family, Mrs. Robinson was never too busy to help others. Her thought was ever of some one else before herself.
It was in these early days that farm products were hauled to Chicago for marketing and during their residence on this farm, the C. R. & Q. R. R. was built through this section of the country. In 1875, the family moved to a farm near Tiskilwa where they lived for about thirty years.
Her husband and six children have preceded Mrs. Robinson to the Better Land. After over fifty years of wedded life, the husband died Oct. 9, 1898. A few years later, when all the children except one had left the parental home to make homes of their own, "Aunt Hannah" as she was so generally known in recent years, and daughter Emma, moved to Buda, Feb. 19, 1906, where she spent the remaining years of her life. Through these years of ill health and gradual decline in her advanced age she has been tenderly and lovingly cared for by the daughter, who, with two sister, and two brothers are now left to cherish the memory of a devoted mother.
The five chidren living are Mrs. Christina Howland, of Buda, Ill.; Mrs. Lucy Horney of Fredonia, Kan; Samuel M., of Dallas Texas; Abram S. of Rapid Citiy, Mich., and Miss Emma at home. There are also nine grandchildren and one great grandchild, and a host of other relatives and friends to honor the memory of this aged woman. She was the last of her father's family of eleven children, of whom John and George Zink and Mrs. Allen Horton are well remembered in this community.
All the children were present at the funeral services held at the home January 16, and she was laid to rest in Mount Bloom cemetery at Tiskilwa.
Those attending the services from a distance were John Howland, of Galesburg, Mrs. Christina Foster of Jacksonville, Ill. , Mrs. Ella Robertson and Harrison Robinson of Prentice, Ill., Mr. and Mrs. Bert Dunlap, Mr. an Mrs. George Dunlap and Mrs. Viola Showers of Kewanee; Mr. and Mrs. Joe Albrecht and Mr. and Mrs. Ira Bealor, of Tishkilwa, Mrs. Guy Philhower and Mrs. Mary Haynes of Bradford.
