Giant Robinson's Will Probated.

New York, 1895

Surrogate Petty of Suffolk County on Wednesday admitted the will of David Robinson to probate. Robinson was a giant who lived a hermit's life at Center Moriches. He left considerable property, all of which he willed to his grandson Erving D. Robinson, age 14, son of Webster Robinson, entirely ignoring his wife and family. Irene D. Taylor, a daughter, residing at Newtown, contested the will.
