New York, 1895
The hearing of the contest in the case of the will of David Robinson of Centre Moriches, took place before Surrogate Nathan D. Petty at Riverhead on Friday. By his will he left his entire estate to a nephew, Erving D. Robinson, age 14, son of Webster Robinson, entirely ignoring Harriet A. Robinson, his widow, Rowell Robinson, a son, Webster Robinson and Irene D. Taylor, a daughter, residing at Newtown. The latter is the contestant. He was separated from his wife at the time of his death and lived the life of a hermit. He was a giant in stature, weighing about 450 pounds.
—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, May 24, 1895, p. 1.
