WESLEY ROBBINS, who is residing on section 8, Lincoln Township, is engaged in carrying on his farm of three hundred and sixty acres, partly lying in that section, and partly on section 17, and has succeeded in accumulating fl fair share of this world's goods. He is a native of Sullivan County, Pennsylvania, and was born September 16, 1854. In April 1859, he was brought by his parents, John D. and Hannah Robbins, to Iowa, and with them settled in Bremer County. He received a common-school education in the latter place, and there grew to manhood, remaining beneath his father's roof. In 1865, again with his parents, he removed to Monona County, and settled at what was known as Tieville, but two years later moved upon the farm which he now owns, on section 17. There his parents died. Upon the old homestead our subject made his home until the spring of 1888, when he purchased the place upon section 8, where he now lives, retaining at the same time the farm, to which he fell heir.
Wishing to establish a home of his own, and to surround himself with the pleasant influences of domestic life, April 16, 1876, he was united in marriage with Miss Laura J. Ingham, the daughter of F. E. and Mary J. Ingham. By their union they are the parents of five children, who bear the following names: Anson C., Willard, Hugh, Eddie, and Theodore. Mr. Robbins has passed a quiet and happy life since coming here, and has taken great interest in the upbuilding of the township, particularly in the cause of education and morality, and merits and receives the respect and esteem of a large circle of acquaintances.
