One of the newest residents of Concord is little Miss Frieda Blanks Robinson, born on Friday night to Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Robinson at Forest Hill. Dr. W.D. Pemberton, family physician, was responsible for the name Frieda.
It came about in this way: Dr. Pemberton had gone to the High School to attend the concert which was being given by Miss Frieda Hempel, and after hearing the program about half through, he was called to the telephone and asked to come to the home of Mr. Robinson. After the birth of the baby, the doctor, still thinking about Frieda’s dulcet tones, asked permission to name the new arrival, which was granted. He thereupon conferred the name Frieda upon the child and the parents gave it its other name—Blanks.
