General Notes: Husband - Rev. George B. Robinson


He attended the Academy in Allegheny, and graduated from that institution in the class of '62; in 1866 he graduated from Jefferson College, Washington County. Subsequently he took a course in theology at the Theological Seminary of the U. P. Church at Allegheny, and was graduated in 1869. He first preached in the Eleventh Church at Pittsburgh. Following this he was the pastor of a Church at Oxford, Chester County, where he remained four years. His reputation as a preacher and pastor led to his receiving a call from Brookville, Jefferson County, and he was pastor in the U. P. Church at that place from 1878 to 1890. He then entered the Presbyterian Church, and was located at Emsworth, below Pittsburgh, where he was pastor four years. In March, 1897, he became pastor of the First Presbyterian Church at Clarion. He was popular both in and out of the Church, being affable and genial, and a man of culture and refinement.
In politics he was a Republican. He was one of the board of directors of Allegheny Seminary, and attended a number of the general assemblies of the United Presbyterian Church. For ten years he was clerk of the Brookville Presbytery. He was very actively identified with temperance matters, and with the Christian Endeavor movement.
