MRS. J. C. (LAURA) ROBISON DIES UNEXPECTEDLY AS RESULT OF SEVERE HEART ATTACK
The death of Mrs. J. C. Robison Wednesday evening, May 20, following an active day about her home attending to the usual household duties and supervising work in her garden, came as a shock to Spearfish and community. While Mrs. Robison's health has not been the best for some time past, she had been cheerful, active, and able to efficiently keep house at the Robison farm near Spearfish, and take part in certain social activities, and no idea was had by her family or friends that the end was so near.
After the day was done, and the son Roger and daughter Helen had gone to the high school to take part in activities there, Mr. and Mrs. Robison spent the evening reading and talking, and retired at about 9 o'clock. After apparently dropping off to sleep Mrs. Robison was seized with a heart attack, which was, is said, to have been caused by a slight attack of indigestion, and before medical aid could arrive, passed from this world.
Coming from old Virginia and southern Missouri stock, Mrs. Robison possessed a strong sense of kinship, was devoted to her family, deeming her home life of first importance, always working and planning for the comfort and advancement of her husband and children in a truly southern fashion. While the urge to return to the scenes of her childhood was strong within her, it was with great difficulty that she was persuaded several years ago, to leave her family for a short trip back to Missouri and Virginia. Mrs. Robison took great pleasure on that occasion to call upon her old friends, and especially did she enjoy visits with the colored people who were in the service of her parents in slavery days, often telling the story of meeting with the old negro Mammy who cared for her during the tender years of her life.
Mrs. Robison was a close companion to her husband, being ever mindful of his comfort, often accompanying him about his work. She was likewise devoted to her friends, who feel that in passing, they have suffered a distinct loss.
Laura C. Bear was born March 4, 1870 in Nodaway County, Missouri. They moved to the Black Hills country in February, 1898, and have made their home in and near Spearfish since. Besides her husband, there are four children left to mourn her loss. Henry W. Robison, Carbondale, Colorado; Mrs. H. E. Kruck, Sioux City, Iowa; Roger R. and Helen D. in high school at Spearfish.
At the age of 13 years she united with the Baptist Church. She has been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Spearfish for twenty-five years. Following services at the Methodist church Sunday, with Rev. C. L. Glenn officiating, the remains were laid at rest in Spearfish cemetery. Taken from the "Queen City Mail," dated Wednesday, May 27, 1931.
Rev. E. S. Robison, brother to J. C. Robison, came to Spearfish from his St. Joe, Missouri home, to attend the funeral services of Mrs. J. C. Robison, leaving on the return trip Tuesday. He is a minister in the Methodist Episcopal service at St. Joe. Taken from the "Queen City Mail," dated Wednesday, May 27, 1931.

Mr. Robison is a graduate of the Spearfish normal school. After graduating with the class of 1906, he returned for post graduate courses, completing that instruction in 1909.
