General Notes: Husband - Dr. John Q. Robinson
He spent his boyhood and to near his majority at home on the farm. He was educated at the common school, Greensburg Academy, and at Washington College, studied Latin under ex-United States Senator Edgar Cowan, then a teacher at West Newton. In the spring of 1840 taught the district school at Pleasant Hill, Elizabeth township, and continued teaching off and on for about four years. During this period, however, he continued his studies with special reference to his chosen profession. September 4, 1844, he commenced the study of medicine with Dr. Biddle at Monongahela City, and remained with him about one year. He then entered the office of Dr. Hasson, at West Newton, and studied with him until the spring of 1848. He then went to Philadelphia, where he took a spring course of lectures, and continued a course of reading and clinical instruction at the Pennsylvania Hospital, remaining altogether eight months. His second course of lectures was taken at the University of New York, from which institution he received his medical diploma in 1849. The same year he commenced the practice of his profession at West Newton, the first two years occupying an office with his old preceptor, Dr. John Hasson, and sharing his large and widely extended practice. After 1851 he was not associated with any other physician. He was in the continuous practice of his profession at West Newton for over thirty-three years. He was a member of the Westmoreland County Medical Society. Though the doctor was almost exclusively devoted to his profession, he always took interest in the local affairs of the borough. He was a member of the School Board of West Newton for eighteen years, was on its building committee in the erection of its school building, and its secretary for a number of years. He was president of the Farmers' Bank of West Newton from its organization to the winding up of its business. He was a member of the Town Council three years and also its secretary. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church at West Newton beginning in 1872, and was on the building committee in the construction of their edifice for worship. [HWC 1882, 366]
