His early life was spent on the farm. His education began in a log schoolhouse. At eighteen he was converted in the United Brethren Church and began at once in the active service of the Lord. He came to Mt. Pulaski, Illinois, in 1860 and served congregations thereabout.
Through the loving and faithful ministry of Dr. J. M. Allen, Mr. Robinson united with the Christian Church. Since then, until the heavy hands of the years laid their disabilities upon him, he was an active and faithful preacher in many fields in central Illinois. From his home in Mt. Pulaski he responded to many calls from many people and places. There he is now, a highly respected and revered citizen.
