Photo of George Robinson and Boulder Daily Camera article from May 20, 1914 on the Hecla Mine. By all accounts, George Robinson was well -loved and respected in the Louisville community. He was a member of the Knights of Pythias, the Methodist Church, and the Boulder Elks Lodge. He died in 1927 from Bright's Disease — an affliction of the kidneys. His funeral was described in the Boulder Daily Camera as "one of the largest ever held in that town." Margaret Ferguson was also actively engaged in the social life of the town with an interest in domestic life and charity. Throughout the 1920s, she led sewing projects, made hats, and dress forms to aid rural communities. She continued to live at 720 Grant after George's death until 1943 when she moved to Denver to live with her daughter Georgina and be closer to the rest of her children who had also moved to Denver. Margaret passed away in 1948. Most of the Robinson children lived in Louisville until the 1940s. The daughters, Eliza, Georgina, Jane, and Margaret Ann took part in women's clubs, the Methodist Church, and aid projects during WWII. Georgina and Margaret became teachers. Georgina taught various grades at the Louisville Grade School from 1933-1943. Margaret taught at Mandalay in Broomfield and in Erie schools. She died at age 31 in 1944. Benjamin Robinson worked for the railroads in Denver and served in north Africa during WWII. He was tragically injured during the war and lost his eyesight. After the deaths of George and Margaret Robinson, their children sold 720 Grant to Thomas Davies and Rachel Ann Penry Davies in 1950.
