    REV. ANSON HART ROBBINS was born in Bristol Connecticut, on November 23,

1837. When three years of age his parents moved, to Peoria county, Illinois.



    In February, 1860, he went to Oberlin Ohio, to perfect his education for the

ministry, graduating from the college in 1865, and from the theological seminary

in 1870. During that time he served in the army of the Union for two years,

going out as a private with a company of college students and coming home as a

first lieutenant.



   Mr. Robbins served in the pastorate in Ohio twelve years, coming to Dakota

Territory in 1882, where he continued in that work thirteen years. After

twenty-five years in the active work of the ministry, he was conscious that his

physicial condition demanded a change, he then came to Orient and accepted the

position of assistant cashier in the Orient bank, but after one year was

compelled to give up active, steady employment on account of failing health.



   On December 30, 1870 Mr. Robbins was married to Miss Lucy Kinney and to them

have been born five children, four of whom are now living: A son at Bozeman,

Montana; another who is a graduate of Yankton college and two daughters: Mrs.

Edwin Gooder of Orient, and Mrs. Owen Jones, of Sisseton, South Dakota.
