LATE MRS. (DR.) ROBB
WILL BE BURIED AT FONTHILL
[Welland Telegraph 22 April 1910]
The public funeral service for the late Mrs. Isabel Hampton Robb was held at Cleveland on Monday last week.
The body was then placed temporarily in the Wade Memorial Chapel in Lake View cemetery pending arrangements for interment.
On Sunday, Dr. Robb and Mrs. George Hindson (his sister-in-law) came by train to Fenwick where they were met by Mr. James Hindson. They then proceeded to inspect Fonthill cemetery, after which it was decided to inter the body of the late Mrs. Robb in it. The burial will take place next week.
The public funeral of Mrs. Robb was held at Cleveland on the 18th at Trinity Cathedral. The big church was crowded with relatives and friends of the deceased and with nurses and physicians and other persons both from in and out of the city.
The funeral procession started from the residence of Dr. Robb, No. 1960 E. 97th street, and proceeded to the cathedral. At the door of the church the body was met by Bishop William Andrew Leonard and Dean Frank DuMoulin of the cathedral and borne to the chancel where the impressive ritualistic service of the Episcopal Church was read. The full cathedral choir, with Edwin Arthur Kraft at the organ sang the requiem anthems and hymns. The spacious chancel of the church was filled with hundreds of floral offerings sent by friends and the various organizations with which Mrs. Robb had been affiliated.
The pallbearers were Percival Merritt of Boston and Dr. John H. Lowman, Dr. F.T. Cushing, Dr. William T. Howard, Dr. William R. Lincoln, Dr. C.F. Hoover, Malcolm McBride and Richard Sheridan of this city. Among those who came from other cities to attend the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Percival Merritt of Boston; Professor L.F. Barker of the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore; Walter Robb; Elizabeth Robb and William D’Lier of Philadelphia.
In the body of the church were the members of the Trained Nurses Association who attended in a body and in uniform; representatives from the District Nurses Association in uniform and nearly all of Cleveland’s representative physicians and surgeons.
