People's Pilot, Volume 5, Number 27-25, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 January 1896 — JOSEPH A. ROBINSON. [ARTICLE+ILLUSTRATION]

JOSEPH A. ROBINSON.

This thoroughly live farmer has just sold a part of the fine farm upon which the above substantial dwelling is located, the same being three miles north-east of Rensselaer. He still retains one hundred and sixty acres, selling two hundred and forty acres. It is regretted he contemplates removing to Kansas for he has no peer as a progressive agriculturist and general business man, and his will

be keenly felt by his host of friends. Mr. Robinson was ''raised” in Jasper county, being born of fanner parents about forty-five years ago. His wife was Miss Lettie Burroughs of this county, and the happy event occured about the year 1878. Their family consists of three children. Mr. Robinson is of republican extraction politically but has thrown his fortunes with the people’s party and became one of its leading spirits in Jasper county.
