Description
“Aunt Dinah Robinson Dead.” Aunt Dinah Robinson, colored, died at Kansas City, Kansas, on February 22, 1895, of pneumonia, and was buried at Weston Sunday afternoon. Aunt Dinah was for a long time a resident of our city, and was much respected for her industry and general good character. During old slavery times she belonged to the late Major J. B. Wright (James B. Wright). She paid a large sum for her own freedom – mostly in laundry work. She also purchased the freedom of late husband, “Uncle Tom.” She was for a number of years a member of the First Baptist church of this city, and when the colored people organized own church, she became a member of that. She lived and died an earnest, consistent Christian. Services were held at the colored Baptist church on Sunday, after which her remains were followed to the cemetery by a large concourse of her own people and a number of whites. “She rests from her labors, and her works follow her.”Date(s) of Creation
