Junior Robison offered the closing prayer and the grave was dedicated by Eugene Ashby.
With the exception of Mr. Kimball and Mr. George, all who participated in the service were close family members of Mrs. Robison, and the manner in which they presented the parts assigned to them revealed the great love which every one had for the departed.

She is survived by her husband; five sons: Ashby, Ray and Duane, all of Fillmore; Doyle of Cleveland, Ohio, and Richard, who is with the Army in Germany; two sisters, Mrs. Neva Speakman and Mrs. Alice Robison; one brother, Eugene Ashby, Fillmore; and nine grandchildren.

On Thursday evening of last week the "Atequa Swarm" [of the Bee Hive girls] went on a hike to the "Lone Pine" farm in the mountains east of Fillmore, where they enjoyed a camp fire supper, a shower bath and a sleepless night's rest, followed by a hurried breakfast and a bouncing trip to town.
