The obituary of Wilma Louise Robinson is located on this DeKalb
Co., TNGenWeb site in the obituaries section and is the main source of
information. Wilma was born in DeKalb Co., TN, the daughter of William
H. and Macon (Yeargin) Robinson. She died at Quality Care Health Center
in Lebanon, Wilson Co., TN. She had married Thurman Robinson on
December 24, 1959 in DeKalb Co., TN. The obituary mentions no children
born to Wilma.
Thurman Robinson (b. 1903) was the son of
Baxter Overall and Martha Virginia (Roberts) Robinson, both of his
parents buried here. Thurman is also buried in the next grave in this
cemetery with his first wife, Fannie Hayes, who died before he married
Wilma. See their page.
Macon Martin Yeargin was the daughter of
John M. and Lucy "Lou" (Corder) Yeargin. She married William H.
Robinson on July 21, 1917 in DeKalb Co., TN. Do not confuse this family
with another couple, William Floyd Robinson who married Clara Macon
Bluhm (b. 1901/2) in 1919 in DeKalb Co., TN. No TN death certificate
found for Macon. William H. Robinson was missing from Macon's household
by the time of the 1920 census, and Macon and Wilma were living
with Macon's sister, Oma, who had married Walter Johnson. She continued
to live with them through the 1940 census. In that 1940 census Macon
finally lists herself as divorced and has taken her maiden name
"Yeargin".
Wilma Louise was the only child of Macon and William H. Robinson.
