H. A. ROBINSON (Howard Andrew Robinson)
H. A. Robinson has been the efficient superintendent of the large manufacturing
plant of the Bardwell-Robinson Company in Minneapolis for the past eight years,
having succeeded his father in that important position. He was born in this
city, on the 14th of March, 1888, his parents being Charles N. and Katherine
(Eveland) Robinson, the former a native of Bridgeton, New Jersey. The first
American ancestor on the paternal side emigrated from Cork, Ireland, while in
the maternal line Mr. Robinson comes of English lineage. His father for a number
of years served as superintendent with the Bardwell-Robinson Company, sash and
door manufacturers of Minneapolis, and here passed away in 1915.
H. A. Robinson obtained his education in the grade schools of Minneapolis, also
pursued a course of study in the North high school, and then entered the plant
of the Bardwell-Robinson Company, in which he has remained continuously. In 1913
he became acting superintendent and two years later, upon the death of his
father, succeeded him in the capacity of superintendent. His important duties in
that connection have been most capably discharged and his efforts have
contributed in no small measure to the successful conduct of this extensive
industrial plant.
On the 4th of November, 1914, Mr. Robinson was united in marriage to Miss
Rachael M. Van Nest, and they have become the parents of a son, John Van Nest.
In politics Mr. Robinson is a republican, while his religious faith is indicated
by his membership in the Hennepin Avenue Methodist Episcopal church. He is a
popular member of the Minneapolis Athletic Club and a worthy exemplar of the
Masonic fraternity, belonging to Plymouth Lodge, No. 160, A. P. & A. M.;
Minneapolis Consistory, S. P. R. S.; and Zuhrah Temple, A. A. O. N. M. S. He has
always lived in Minneapolis and is widely recognized as one of the enterprising
young business men and representative and esteemed residents of the city.
