General Notes: Husband - Irwin Robinson


He was born in what is now West Wheatfield township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania.

After his marriage he settled in Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, where he resided forty-three years, serving as county auditor, county commissioner and as justice of the peace. He enlisted in Company F, 105th Regiment Pennsylvania Infantry, served two years, re-enlisted, and at the battle of Petersburg was severely wounded. After convalescing he was honorably discharged and returned to his home in Jefferson County. He never had a great deal of this world's goods, but stood high in the esteem of his neighbors, who honored him by continued re-election to office.
In 1874, he removed to North Mahoning Township, Indiana County.
