Lydia Robinson (69960444)
Lydia J. Robinson was born on November 3rd, 1848, at the old log house pioneer home of her pioneer father and mother, John Huntington and Mary Hatfield Huntington, at the early Wisconsin settlement, then known as Block house, in the town of Platteville, Grant County, Wisconsin, and departed this life at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Turi E. Goodell on the morning of January 12th, 1923, making the days of her early pilgrimage, seventy-four years, two months, and nine days.
Her father, John Huntington, and her mother, Mary Hatfield Huntington, both born in Yorkshire, England, were married in 1831 and their bridal tour was to their future home in America. Up to 1837, their home was at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In the spring of 1837, they came to Platteville and to the block House settlement where Mr. Huntington purchased one hundred sixty acres of land of which a seventeen acre tract was under plow and on which was a log cabin. This log cabin replaced in 1859 by the substantial brick building home still standing, was the birth place and early girlhood home of her five sisters (except of Anne who died in Pennsylvania) and of her four brothers, all of whom are now deceased, except one, sister, Maria Fitch, of Pomona, California, and one brother, John P. Huntington, of Platteville.
Lydia J. Huntington was united in marriage to Joseph Robinson, the son of Block House pioneer parents, Joseph Robinson and Hannah Bratton Robinson, and a soldier of the Civil War, on March 12th 1867, and they went to housekeeping in a cabin home on her father+s home premises and later moved to Ipswich on what is now part of the Liddle premises and afterwards moved to their own home where they lived with their children until the death of Mr. Robinson on January 16th, 1892, and where Mrs. Robinson thereafter lived with her daughter Gladys A. Benedict, until a few days preceding her death.
The deceased leaves surviving her two sons and two daughters, Mrs. Frank O. Robinson and Mrs. Gladys A. Benedict of Ipswich and Mrs. Turi E. Goodell and Mr. Edwin T. Robinson of Platteville; two children, a little son, Clarence, and a little daughter, Mary, having died in infancy.
She also leaves surviving her one sister, Mrs. Maria Fitch, of Pomona, California, and one brother, Mr. John P. Huntington of Platteville, together with ten grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.
Mrs. Robinson was a member of the congregational Church and an active member for many years as long as services were held there, and an active and devout member of the old Congregational Church as Bashford, Lafayette County, Wisconsin.
Mrs. Robinson was a woman of quiet, retiring temperament, still this natural trait did not prevent her from being a force affecting the lives of others.
She was the soul of industry, following closely the pioneer generation; she followed in their train. Even in old age she did not lose ambition and love for work, though methods changed. She was never so content as when producing something useful or beautiful. Devoted to her children, loyal in friendship, faithful in her vows to the Kingdom of Christ, she rests in peace.
The funeral services were held Sunday at 2 p.m. at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Turi E. Goodell, Rev. George Merrifield officiating; taking his text from Proverbs 31, 28, and 30, -A woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. Her children arise up and call her blessed. Interment was in the family lot at Hillside Cemetery.
