Funeral Of J. Emmet Robison

in our last issue we announced the sad news of the death of Emmet Robison, in Detroit, on Wednesday morning. Death resulted from the use of chloroform taken to alleviate insomnia, with which he was troubled. The amount used was not sufficient in itself to produce death, but it is thought the effect of the anresthetic upon the heart caused the fatal result, as his heart was known to have jeen effected somewhat. The remains were brought to this city on Thursday p. m., and on Friday at 11 o'clock a. m., funeral rites were held at the residence of the father of the deceased, Hon. John J. Robison, on N. Division st. The services were conducted by Rev. S. Clemena, an old friend of the family, assisted by Rev. W. W. Ramsay. The pall bearers were personal friends rrom the Detroit press, and the honorary bearers former classmates and friends in this city. The floral tributes were beautiful indeed, and reflected the sweetness and loveable qualities of the life of the one who was sleeping so peacefully the long gleep in the easket they surrounded. A floral desk and scroll with a broken pencil, Trom the press of Detroit; a broken triangle with the inscription " We Three," from his college chums Harry E. Palmer and Morse Robnert; a floral knapsack from Co. A (one of the liuest pieces) ; a pillow of carnations from members of his class of '84 ; a cross of calla lillies resting on a background of green ivy made u pleasing contrast, and was from the Washtenaw county oftkials ; a erown of roses, hyucinths, and carnations, surmounted by a cross of purple imniortelles, was the tribute of the members of the Ann Arbor press. Tin-re were otlivr tributes representing other friendl, but those euumcratcd givo an idea of the magnitude and beauty of these offerings of God's sweet messimgers of love, to the memory ot the deputed son, brother and 'riecid. The fact that thU is the tirst break in the family circle lends an additional sadness to this death. All of the children were present at the funeral services, consisting of Qco. F.
