personal friends of Joseph Robidoux, the city’s founder, died at 4 o’clock

Louis and arrived at the Robidoux Landing, the site of St. Joseph, October 1.
Joseph Robidoux conducted an Indian trading post at the mouth of Blacksnake

residents of this county and a highly respected citizen passed to the great
beyond Monday morning, surrounded by all the members of his family. Mr.

father and one of the best neighbors a community can have. His loss will be
sincerely mourned by a wide circle outside of the immediate family.
Funeral
services were held Tuesday afternoon in the Christian church, conducted by Rev.
Roy Snodgrass of Clarinda and the large attendance attested the high esteem in
which he was held by the people of this community. The floral offerings were
many and beautiful. Interment was in the Shearer cemetery near Siam.

Dunlavy in 1883. During these 35 years he has lived a consistent Christian
life, always a hard workingman, devoted to his family, faithful to the church
and contributing his very best to the interests of the kingdom to which he had
pledged his life. He bore life's burdens patiently uncomplainingly even through
the severe suffering of his last days, always looking serenely to the city
which hath foundation whose builder and maker is God.
