General Notes: Husband - William Edward Robinson

---

He attended school in the Robinson District, No. 1, and worked on the farm of 230 acres until he attained his majority. Following this he was engaged in teaming and lumbering for a few years, and worked at the carpenter's trade for one year, and then began clerking for Mr. Benter, in his general store at Edri, in Conemaugh township, Indiana County, thus continuing a year, during which time he learned the details of the business, so that when he went back to Nowrytown he was able to embark in the same line himself, and operate his store successfully and intelligently. This was in 1887. He conducted his general store for more than two decades thereafter, and it was known as W. E. Robinson's Nowrytown Store. He carries a full stock of goods necessary for use on the farm and in the home, as well as a complete line of wearing apparel, and for more than twenty-three years also filled the office of postmaster at Nowrytown. In addition to the interests centered in his store, Mr. Robinson was extensively engaged in the poultry business, and was a recognized authority in that line. In 1909 he became owner of an automobile, the first to be owned and operated in his locality, and made use of it to attend the Presbyterian Church at Saltsburg. In politics he was always a Republican, and he served as school director for three years. The Presbyterian Church held his membership.
