FRANK D. ROBINSON

   Commercial activity in Merced finds a worthy representative in Frank D.
Robinson, who has been engaged as a commercial photographer for the past
thirteen years at this place, where he has built up a far-reaching and
satisfactory business, his work extending over the entire county. He is a native
of the county, born near Merced Falls, on March 17, 1875, a son of Dr. William
and Malissa (Yonker) Robinson, whose sketch may also be found in this work.

   Frank D. Robinson received a public school education and while the greater
part of his life has been spent on a farm he has been employed in various lines
of work, broom making, smithing and milling; he learned mineralogy in the old
Mariposa Mine. Since taking up commercial photography he has been content to
make Merced his permanent home.

   Mr. Robinson's marriage united him with Miss Edith Gann, a daughter of Eli
Gann, a California pioneer of Mariposa County. Mr. and Mrs. Robinson were the
parents of one son, Ernest Alton, who was accidentally killed when only eighteen
years of age. Mr. Robinson is independent in his political views, voting for the
man best fitted for office, rather than be confined to strict party lines.
Fraternally he is a member of Willow Lodge No. 121, I. O. O. F., of Snelling, in
which he is a Past Grand; he also belongs to Yosemite Lodge No. 30, K. of P., of
Merced.
