"l was born in Morrison County,Ohio. April 14, 1836. I moved with my parents
to Athens County, Ohio, in 1838. My father died in 1839, leaving my mother with
seven children. The oldest was 13 years old, and the youngest was 12 months.
I knew the pinch of poverty and what it was to do without many of the necessities
of life, and knew little of the comforts of life. My mother cared for all of
us and instilled into our minds the principles of honesty and Christianity. I
was converted April 10, 1851 and baptized the same month, and united with the
church. I soon felt that God was calling me to the work of the ministry, and
tried to fit myself for that work, but after a time I found it impossible to
continue my studies on account of failing health.
"I engaged in teaching for some time and read as I could. I made my first
attempt in public, May 5, 1855. On October 7, 1858, I was married to Miss Lucy
Ackley, with whom I lived for over 57 years, and much of the success in my life
was due to her helpfulness and consistent Christian life. I was ordained in 1862.
In 1864, I was in the army for a time. In the fall of 1866, we moved to Minnesota,
where I spent 13 and a half years. We did pioneer work and enjoyed many very
precious revivals. In some communities nearly everybody professed Christ. There
we knew the privations of the pioneers and felt the sting of poverty. I have
held pastorates in Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio. It has
been my privilege to enjoy many seasons of grace and witness many conversions.
"My wife passed to her reward, December 28, 1915, and since then I have
passed many lonely days, but I hope soon to meet her in that world of life and
light, where we shall part no more."
Mr. Robinson endeared himself to a large circle of friends. He was not afraid
to stand up for the right at all times, and his courageous disposition had much
to do with his success in the ministry. He was the possessor of a pleasing personality.
He was good conversationalist, being well informed on the subjects of the day.
Hie was a member of the Odd Fellows' lodge.
Mr. Robinson has held pastorates in many churches of this vicinity, and has,
at different times, supplied in, the pulpit of the First Baptist church here.
It was through his labor and efforts that the church at North Bethel was constructed
several years.! ago. Some time after, its. construction the edifice was entirely
blown away by a cyclone. Mr. I Robinson was by profession; Free Will Baptist.
Mr. Robinson is survived by three daughters and two sons. They are: Mrs. W.C.
Bailey, of this city, at whose home he has resided since the death of his wife;
Mrs. Dutton of Robbinsdale, Minn.; Mrs. F.L. Estabrook, of Athens, Pa.; J.P.
