Mr. Robinson was active in church and civil affairs, to the end.
The last 15 years of his life he served the town of Mountain City as alderman and mayor. He was also a member of the Johnson County Industrial Commission at the time of his death. His desire to make a better life for his people made him an ardent proponent of industry for Johnson County.
His progressive leadership as a public servant while mayor was exemplified in the erection of the modern municipal building which he and his board of alderman made possible. It was one of his contributions of which he was proudest.
He is survived by his wife, the former Leona Greer, and a brother, Allen Robinson.

440 "Thomas Rogers was a millright by trade. For some reason, he
decided to leave his young family, and go to Florida, seeking work in
his trade. It is said that he left home one morning to go to Florida.
He was never seen or heard of again. What happened to Thomas Rogers
thereafter, is only speculation and conjecture. What is known is that
there were Indians still in the territory. It is also known that Thomas
Rogers would not have likely left home without sufficient money to
sustain his keep on the journey. Too, it is likely that he rode a
horse. He could have been robbed and killed for any money that he may
have had, or killed for his horse. At any rate, Thomas Roger left a
wife and four young children behind." (pg. 18; Rogers book by Judge
Harry R. DeLoach)

448 (Medical):Lost eyesight in one eye. Always had asthma. Was very petite and sickly all her life.


Mellie V. Gipson on tombstone.

When Mellie's husband, Ed Willis died, her father went to Oklahoma in a wagon to bring her & her children home with him to Willow Springs Community, Athens, Henderson Co., Texas. Fording the Red River in a wagon was a jolting experience for her. Told by grandson Lionel Duncan.

Aunt Mell was a very small lady, who had many health problems such as asthma and severe eye problems. Before her life ended, one eye was removed. She was either allergic to milk problems, or she detested them. She ate peanut butter for butter. Her hair was very thin and she wore a bonnet or baseball cap in the summer and a toboggan in the winter. At the time she lived, hats were the style, so she wore them to town, church etc. Thoughts by LaVerne (Mutt) Williams Rodgers.
