General Notes: Husband - Elisha Robinson
Reared on the farm, he continued to reside there. He received his early education in the common schools and later attended the academy at Kittanning, Pennsylvania. In 1861 he engaged in the general merchandise business at the mouth of the Thorn's run, and for about five years carried on a store, which was located between his residence and Parker City. In 1866 he settled on a home where he resided until his death. In 1871 he took charge of his father's oil business and continued to have in-terests in that line, succeeding his father upon the latter's death. He operated but little him-self, however, leasing his land on royalty. He owned about seven hundred acres of valuable land in Armstrong and Butler counties, all improved, and with up-to-date buildings, and he was always considered one of the most progressive agriculturists in Armstrong county, advocating modern ideas and putting the most approved modern meth-ods into practice on his estate, which was highly improved. He was also a successful stock breeder, making a specialty of blooded stock, and purchasing in Kentucky and Ohio. When the Petroleum Agricultural Association was organized, in 1881, he became one of the first directors, and was considered one of the most valuable members of that organization.
Mr. Robinson was one of the oldest mem-bers of the Parker City Methodist Episcopal Church, with which he united in 1857, and which he served as steward and class leader. In 1902 he erected the Robinson Memorial Chapel on his farm as a family memorial, and in 1902 built the parsonage. His wife also belonged to the same church, though she was originally a Presbyterian. In politics he was originally a Democrat, but later a stanch Pro-hibitionist. He held the township offices of overseer of the poor, school director and justice of the peace, having been elected to the latter in 1868 and served three years, resign-ing when he took charge of his father's oil business.
