Obituary.
MISS JEAN ROBINS.
We have to announce, with much regret, the death of Jean, second eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stan. Robins, of Trafalgar, which occurred at the West Gippsland Hospital, Warragul, on Sunday night last.

Miss Robins would have been 16 years of age in January, 1940. About two and a half years ago, when her brother (Leslie) passed away as a result of pneumonia, she, too, had the same complaint. She had since had indifferent health, although she was for some time employed in a Trafalgar bakery; but when her employers left Trafalgar, she remained at home.

About ten days, prior to her death, this young lady became seriously ill, and it was feared that she was suffering from infantile paralysis. She was admitted to the West Gippsland Hospital. She failed to improve, and succumbed to the effects of meningitis on Sunday night.

Much sympathy for the bereaved parents, sisters (Sheila, Nell and Pat.) and brother (Ray) is expressed. As the funeral left her parent's home, on Tuesday afternoon, the hearse was preceded by members of the Trafalgar Girl Guides and Brownies, in which the late Miss Robins had taken a prominent part. On the edge of the town, they formed a guard of honour, through which the funeral cortege passed on Its way to the Trafalgar Cemetery. The service at the graveside was read by Mr. J. G. Irons (Presbyterian Minister). There were many beautiful floral tributes. Mr: R. S. Robertson had charge of the funeral arrangements. Miss Robins was a grand-daughter of Mrs. Robins, of Erica (formerly of Moe and Willow Grove), who since this bereavement has gone from her son's home in Trafalgar to another son (Roy),at Yarragon. He is seriously ill as a result of war injuries, and quite recently was in the Caulfield Military Hospital.
