The summons of the Angel of Death has again come in our midst. It was not the kindly invitation to come Home that death gives to the very old that brings for them rest from their weary labors and freedom from the frailties of old age. It was not the welcome consent that gives release from the unbearable pain to those that suffer from incurable disease. It was not with tender caress that wafts the babe in arms, too beautiful and fragile for this world, to God's heavenly nursery. It has come with swift certainty and struck down with unerring aim a maiden, pure in character, promising in talents and precious in love to her kin and friends. We are poignantly reminded that our days are in His hands.
Hazel Berniece Robbins, younger daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O.A. Robbins, was born June 6, 1913, at the family home three miles west of Fairmont, Nebraska. Her entire girlhood and young womanhood has been spent in this community, except for three brief summers she spent in Lincoln, Nebraska, attending the State University. She was a graduate of the Fairmont High School in the spring of 1930, and since then has been teaching in rural schools in Fillmore county. Hazel had marked ability as a teacher, as is evidenced by the fact that the school she has been teaching enjoyed the highest ranking that is given to rural schools. Recognition of her abilities was also given in her election by her colleagues in the teaching profession as president of the Fillmore County Teacher's Association.
Miss Robbins was a member of the Fairmont Methodist Episcopal church and active in its service. She was the assistant secretary in the Sunday school and an active worker in the Epworth League. Her pastors ever found her a willing and dependable helper in any church work for which she was asked.
The death of Miss Robbins strikes very close to the hearts of many. They knew her as an attractive personality that was loyal to her friends and the best in life. Her high ideals, her cheerful disposition and her personal initiative made her a real source of satisfaction to both relatives and friends. The announcement of her death Tuesday morning, January 21, 1936, brought a pall of gloom over the entire community.
Miss Robbins is survived by her parents aforementioned, her sister, Mrs. Everett Nichols, and nephew, Gene Earl Nichols, besides the uncles, aunts, and cousins. All these as well as numerous friends mourn her untimely death and look forward to that better day when "God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away."
Brief services were held at the Fairmont cemetery, Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, in charge of Rev. Robert E. Embree. A quartet composed of Misses Lorienne Brown and Ruth Hurst, Francis Moul and Robert McFadden, with Mrs. Mable Quinlan, accompanist, sang. Pallbearers were Elvin, Jesse and Howard Nichols, sons of E.W. Nichols, and Gordon, Wilbur and Donald Nichols, sons of C.B. Nichols.
