Clara Robinson's Life As Others Saw ItClara Pruitt Robinson was born at Hastings, Oklahoma on March 15, 1905. She was married to Elton Robinson in 1920. To this union two girls and three boys were born.
She moved with her husband and family to Texas in 1926 where she lived until her death at the age of 31.
Clara could be called a model mother and wife. She was never too busy to answer her childrens childish questions or give them a kind word when they were in trouble. She planned outings and often played with her children and on Sunday monrings Clara was always found at her church with them.
One of her greatest characteristics was her patience. She made me think of Job of long ago. With all the trouble, hardships, and ill health there was never a murmur.
There was always time for her to speak a kind word to those in trouble. She never spoke an unkind word of a person. One of her greatest and most accomplished aims was to be a real helpmate and companion to her husband....... A friend

from the records of Lillian Grace NayThis poem was on the end of the "Clara Robinson's Life as Others Saw It"
From a Friend Dear Clara has gone, We are sad and so alone. O how we miss her sweet smiles; We have met with defeat. We have lost our complete It seems to us now We Cannot see how In the journey of life's rugged miles. She was a wife in time of need, A helpmate indeed. A mother tried and true. Without this dear one we can do. In the darkest of nights There is always some light It may be just before day. Then let us cheer up And drink of life's cup, And pray all of our troubles away There's a higher power than man Who will and who can Our greatest afflictions help share Let's brighten our face And Ask of Gods grace, To help us our heavy burdens to bear.
