         ROBSON, M. D., JAMES N. During his practice at Sanford Doctor Robson's 
career has been more than an ordinary routine of responsibility and duty well 
performed. His youthful years were spent in Charleston, where he learned and 
followed the drug business for some years before taking up medicine.

	He was born at Charleston, South Carolina, June 24, 1871, son of JAMES 
N. ROBSON, Sr., a native of South Carolina, and son of an Englishman who 
settled in that state. JAMES N. ROBSON, Sr., married ELIZA WIGHTMAN, of an old 
South Carolina family. The father, who died in 1901, was for many years a 
member of J. N. Robson & Son, commission merchants at Charleston.

	Youngest in a family of four sons and four daughters. Dr. JAMES N. 
ROBSON was reared and educated in Charleston. His oldest brother lost his life 
in the great Charleston earthquake in 1885. Doctor Robson graduated in 1897 
from the South Carolina College of Pharmacy, and he was a pharmacist and 
druggist until he took up the study of medicine. He spent one year in the 
Medical College of Charleston, two years in the Atlanta Medical College and in 
1907 graduated M. D. from the University of the South at Sewanee, Tennessee. 
For about two years he was engaged in practice at Union, South Carolina, and 
since 1908 has given his valued professional services to Sanford. While engaged 
in general practice he conducted a private sanitarium, and is a specialist in 
women's and children's diseases. He did post-graduate work in Tulane University 
at New Orleans in 1918, and is a member of the Orange County and State Medical 
societies.

	Doctor Robson married OLIVE HUDGINS, of Orangeburg, South Carolina, who 
died soon after their marriage. In 1900 Miss PEARL BREEDIN, of Manning, South 
Carolina, became his wife. They have a family of six sons and two daughters. 
Doctor Robson is a Presbyterian, while Mrs. Robson belongs to the Episcopal 
Church. He is affiliated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Woodmen
