Ray Robinson, a son of James Robinson of Wren, died suddenly last week of a disease contracted at the O. A. C. He was about 20 years of age and respected by all.
Editor’s note: Ray Robinson appears as W.R. Robinson in the 1880 census, and family records available online give his full name as Wesley Ray Robinson. He was the son of James and Sarah (Knotts) Robinson, who were married in Corvallis in 1865, according to genealogical records. A family history published online says he was born Feb. 12, 1876, in Corvallis. In 1880, the family lived in Kings Valley. Mount Union Cemetery records list his date of death as Jan. 2, 1894, and his age as 17 years, 10 months, 20 days.
