Robbins of Hatboro, Pa, and R. Sherman Robbins of Hartsville, Pa, and one sister, Mrs. A. V. Vanderveer, of North Branch, N. J.

In the College Hill Presbyterian Church he will be greatly missed, for he was a sincere and devout worker, a man of excellent judgement and one who could be depended upon to carry out any task imposed on him. He had a wide acquaintance throughout this section and in New Jersey communities and all who knew him will regret to learn of his death.
