    From newspaper obituary - 1943:

    Died in Vancouver.  Robert Herbert Robison, Formerly of Harvey Station, Had Lived in Vancouver 40 Years.

    Harvey Station, NB, Dec 30 -- Word has been received here of the death on Dec 8th of Robert Herbert Robison at his home, 1133 Hornby Street, Vancouver, BC.

    Mr Robison was born at Harvey Station on Nov 30th, 1861, a son of pioneer residents of Harvey, Marshall and Mary (Herbert) Robison.

    About forty years ago he took up residence in Vancouver, where he made many friends who learned of his death with genuine regret.  He had been in failing health for about a month but his death came as a shock.  He is survived by his wife, formerly Miss Emily Little, of Coburn, two sons, Jeffrey and Roy Robison, Vancouver; five daughters, Mrs Harry Homewood of Duncan, BC, Mrs James McCrae of Port Alice, BC, Mrs John McCallum of Nanaimo, BC, Mrs John Walker and Mrs C. W. Oliver of Vancouver; several grandchildren including three grandsons in the R.C.A.F., Robert Homewood, Jeffrey McCrae and Jack Walker; and one brother, Kenneth J. Robison, Vancouver.

    The funeral was held on Saturday in Vancouver West, with Dr. McCall of St. Andrew's Wesley United Church officiating, Mr Robison having been a faithful member of that church for many years.  Dr. McCall referred to the many good qualities of the deceased and a good life fittingly ended.  The pallbearers were Kenneth, Jeffrey and Roy Robison, John McCallum, John Walker and A. McMillan.  The floral tributes were many and beautiful.  Burial was made in the family plot in Mountain View Cemetery beside a little daughter Clara, who died several years ago.

 

   They had the following children:

229 i. Levina Jane "Vina" Robison

230 ii. Jeffrey Garnet Robison

231 iii. Nellie Mae Robison

232 iv. Alice Minetta Robison

233 v. Celia Mary Robison
