Julius E. Day Obit

I don't recall ever seeing this obituary.  That can't be true. 

Julius is the father of Stella Burrill (Day) Robbins.  Stella is the mother of my grandmother, Mildred (Robbins) Day.  Me, dad, Mildred (Robbins) Arnold, Stella (Burrill) Day, Julius E. Day and Mary (Burrill) Day. 

Julius Day died February 17, 1923, in Harvey, Illinois. 

Quoting from paper below:

"The body was brought to Buckley on Monday morning and interment took place at the family lot in the home cemetery."  

What is this saying?  I never could find a burial site in Find A Grave for Julius or his wife, Mary (Burrill) Day.  None in Thawville nor Woodland Cemetery in Buckley.  I transcribed all the stones in Woodland Cemetery several years ago.  Julius has family buried there . . . his father, mother, aunts and uncles and his son. 

Are they buried at their home site? I doubt it . . . 1923 is pretty late for a burial on the farm.  He is probably buried at Woodland in Buckley "at the family lot in the home cemetery" as his father, mother, and son, Ralph, are all buried there. There is no stone for Julius and Mary Day located in that family lot though.

--Woodland Cemetery, Buckley, Iroquois County, Illinois.  

I don't recall the name on the small stone.  I'll have to look that up from my notes.  I am thinking it was Sprague.  More research.  

Unknown. Can you identify?

On the back of the post card, From Dorothy Gates 08/17/1968.  So this would probably be the Burrill/Day line.  Stella (Day) Robbins is in the photo (somewhere), and Grandma Arnold's grandparents according to Dorothy's note.  Can you identify anyone?  Let me know.

Mildred, you'll know who these relative are!  I know your mother is here.  So you'll recognize all the rest, lots more than I do! I'm sure who your grandfather and grandmother are, but not the others.

           

Perkinson Family Hold Reunion

 A yellowed clipping from Grandma Arnold's collection, dated 1963.

Children of Cynthia (Robbins) Yaw - Emma Josephine Jane

Emma Josephine Jane Yaw, oldest daughter and second child of Henry Yaw and Cynthia Robbins Yaw, and Robert Sterling Perkinson. I colorized the photo on Ancestry. Grandma Arnold has quite a few photos and newspaper clippings for the Perkinson family . . . a lot of information that I will probably update and post on the Perkinson line.  So keep checking back if you are researching this line.  Robbins/Yaw/Perkinson.   

Emma Robbins

b 9 Dec 1858

m Robert Sterling Perkinson 29 Dec 1880 at the home of the bride's parents in rural Thawville, Illinois. 

d 11 Aug 1929 buried Onarga Cemetery, Onarga, Iroquois County, Illinois.

Robert and Emma had 8 children:
Henry Paige "Paige" Perkinson

Milton Sterling Perkinson

Percy Allan Perkinson

Ermin Agnes Perkinson

Harriet Edith Perkinson

Anna Estella "Stella" Perkinson

William Rober Perkinson

Bessie Evangelina Perkinson

Emma died in 1929.  After her death, Robert S. Perkinson married Lillian (Robbins) Pacey, daughter of Edwin G. S. Robbins and Alice Ann VanDuzer Robbins.  

Robert's first wife, Emma (above) was the daughter of Henry Yaw and Cynthia Robbins Yaw.  Both granddaughters of Edwin Dwight Robbins and Louisa Bishop . . . making them first cousins.  Lillian's father (Edwin G. S.) and Emma's mother (Cynthia Robbins Yaw) were siblings.  Do I have that right?  I think so.  

Lillian Robbins was married first to Frank Pacey.  She had no children with either spouse. Frank died in 1929 and Emma died in 1929.  Robert Perkinson married Lillian Robbins 20 June 1931 in Livingston County, Illinois.
