GRACE HOYT ROBBINS
Died at her home near this place, April 15, Grace Hoyt Robbins in the 24th year of her age, leaving behind to mourn her untimely death a husband tender and loving, two little children, both boys, and one of them a babe of a few days old, a father and mother, two brothers, one sister and a large circle of relatives and friends. Mrs. Robbins was
much loved by all who knew her. Her graces of mind and heart were such that it was impossible to know her and not to love her. As daughter, wife, mother, friend, there was all in her life and character that blessed all who held either of these relations to her. She sleeps well. The dream of life is o'er. Death came and claimed his victim.
She was ready. Sweetly she resigned herself to the will of God, trusting in her Redeemer. She had no fear. Death to her possessed no terror. It was only going home to her Saviour. Like all young people, life was very sweet to her, and gladly would she have remained to care for her precious babes and to enjoy the loving society of husband and friends. But it was not to be, and the spirit of God gave her the grace which said Thy will be done. Her death has caused great sorrow through all our community. By birth and marriage she was connected with three of our most widely known and highly respected families, the Hoyts, Bacons and Robbins, who are all known and highly respected in this part of the state. In early life, Gracie, as her friends loved to call her, gave her heart to her Saviour, and was baptized and received into the Methodist church by Rev. Curtis Powell a much loved and revered minister. But after her marriage, her husband being a member of the U. B. church, as a loyal and loving wife she went with him into that church, and in its fellowship she died and went home to heaven.
The funeral, which was held at the Pulaski M. E. church, was attended by a very large concourse of people, who came to drop a tear of sorrow over her remains. An able and very eloquent discourse was preached by her old pastor, Bro. Powell, and then loving hands gently laid away her mortal remains to await the resurrection day when body and spirit united together, she will be forever with the Lord.
