Lucy was the baby in the large Robinson family, born when her father was 64 years of age. He loved her dearly and often gave her special attention in his letters. As a pioneer girl in the new valley, she helped to grub sagebrush, card wool, milk cows, make butter in the old dash churn and pick wild berries to add to their meager store of dried fruits. Lucy's schooling was meager after she came to Idaho at the age of ten. One of the schools she attended here was in the Knowlin's kitchen.This went on while the meals were being prepared.Perhaps because of her lack of education she had a strong desire that her two children should have this advantage and she struggled hard to see that they both completed the Ricks Academy courses.Lucy's marriage to Arthur Wayman was an unhappy one and after the birth of her second child she left him. To support her children she bought a weaving loom and worked many, many hours at this. In later years she cooked for the large dry farming crews on the Rexburg Bench. All of this was hard work and under mined her health. She was president of the Mutual Improvement Association in Ucon for seventeen years. The young people loved her and many called her Aunt Lucy. She was often called in when there was illness and seemed to have a special knowledge in the care of the sick. She died in 1918 during the Flu epidemic.
