After her mar- riage and removal to Brockville, Mre. Robinson identified herself with the Methodist church, and was one of the charter members of the Woman's Missionary Society or- ganized there over forty years ago. A few years ago she was honored with a life membership in that auxiliary.: One of her treasures Is an "autograph album" containing greeting and messages penned by cherished friends from sixty to seventy years ago.
