L. R. ROBINSON.
Veteran Editor of the Stanstead Journal Dead.
ONE OF THE OLDEST NEWSPAPER MEN IN CANADA-FOUNDED JOURNAL IN 1845.
Rock Island, February 14 [1901]--(Special)--
• Leroy R. Robinson, founder and for over half a century editor and publisher of the Stanstead Journal, died last night, at his residence in this place. He was about 80 years of age. Mr. Robinson has been in feeble health recently, incident to old age, but seriously ill but a short time. L.R. Robinson was one of the oldest newspapermen in the Dominion of Canada and probably an editor and publisher for the greatest number of years than any man now living in the Province of Quebec.
• Mr. Robinson, at the age of fifteen, entered the printing office at Windsor, VT. The office changing hands a year or so later he was released from his apprenticeship and a few months later entered the office of the Rutland Herald, where he remained three years and six months. He then revived a dead paper at Castleton, in the same county, and after a year or so was joined by Sylvester Southmaid, of Sherbrooke, whose mother and sisters were residents of Castleton. After some three years Mr. Robinson removed to Whitehall, NY, and ran a campaign paper during the presidential campaign of 1844. At the end of the campaign his health failed and he sold out and came to Stanstead in the spring of 1845. In the same year he started the Stanstead Journal, published at Rock Island. The enterprise proved a success and thus for fifty-six years has lived at Rock Island and devoted his time to his paper.
• Mr. Robinson held many offices of trust at various times. He was a member of the Stanstead Council for many years and mayor for several years. He was, also, a member of the first council of the village of Rock Island.
• Mr. Robinson was a Congregationalist and descended from old Puritan stock. Rev. John Robinson, one of the founders of the Puritans, as they were called in England, being ill-treated together with others of his sect in England, removed to Holland and later planned to come to America. He was one of the organizers of the first shipload of immigrants to Massachusetts, which landed at Plymouth. Rev. John Robinson, however, died before he could settle his affairs in Holland. His family, however, became residents in the new world, settling in Massachusetts and Connecticut before the Revolutionary War. L. R. Robinson was a descendant of the Connecticut branch of the John Robinson family.
• Of late years Mr. Robinson has had associated with him in the publication of the Journal, Mr. J.C. Holland as partner. Mr. Holland has introduced many modern methods and now as sole manager will doubtless continue the paper in its present position in the front rank of enterprising weeklies.
The weekly English language "Stanstead Journal" is still in operation.
The children of LeRoy Robinson by first wife Philura Waterman, all born in Rock Island (and with two exceptions all interred in Derby Line cemetery in Derby, VT) are:
• i. Ella Hubbell Robinson, b. Aug. 4, 1849, d. Mar. 20, 1941 in Randolph, VT, Æ 93 (g.s.); m. Timothy Hinman Apr. 25, 1873 in Stanstead, Canada. Three children of the family.
• ii. George Frederick Robinson, b. Apr. 6, 1851, d. in infancy Apr. 2, 1855 (g.s.)
• iii. Eva Waterman Robinson, b. Aug. 16, 1853, d. unmarried in Rock Island July 22, 1911, Æ 58 (g.s.) In her youth she lived for a time in the household of her father's oldest brother, Dea. Henry Wright Robinson, at 23 Grape Street, in Syracuse, NY. There she is shown as "Miss Eva W. Robinson", member of the Plymouth Congregational Church of Syracuse since 1874, and a member of her uncle's in-home church sabbath school class. She is also shown as "absent" from that church in the 1878 directory of church members residing then in "Derby Line, VT."
• iv. Florence Stoddard Robinson, b. Feb. 11, 1856, d. in Rock Island June 10, 1873, Æ 18 (g.s.)
• v. Edward Noble Robinson, b. Oct. 25, 1858. In his father's will of 1892 Edward is stated to have been missing from the family for more than 20 years. His father left a legacy for him, but Edward never appeared to claim it.
