General Notes: Husband - Eli D. Robinson


He was eight years of age when his parents located at Butler, Pennsylvania. He was educated in the common schools and at Witherspoon Institute, where he spent five years. Shortly before attaining his majority he began the study of law under his father's direction. His tastes inclining to journalism, he gave up the law, and in 1879 purchased the Butler Eagle from his father, and was associated with that paper as editor and publisher until 1903. An ardent Republican by conviction, he ably supported the cause of his party, and often proved an able champion of needed reforms, possessing the pen of a ready writer, with the power of original and forceful expression. His appointment as postmaster met with the hearty approbation of his fellow citizens and he assumed the duties of the office on January 1, 1905.
