Lewis C. Robbins, general farmer and well known citizen of Knox township,
resides on his finely cultivated and well improved farm of fifty-four acres,
which is situated two miles southwest of Olanta, Pa. His parents were George W. and Margaret E. (Bloom) Robbins. He was born October 16, 1848, in Clearfield county, Pa.

George W. Robbins was born in Dauphin county, Pa., in 1815, and went to school at Milton, Pa., and from there came to Pike township, Clearfield county, in 1840. There he married Margaret E. Bloom, a daughter of John and Susanna Bloom, and they lived on a small farm in Pike township until after the birth of all
their children, eight in number, namely: Zephaniah, Mary Jane, Lewis C., Annie, Eretta, Sarah, B. F., and James H. George W. Robbins owned two acres of land in Pike township, on which Mrs. Isaac Caldwell now resides. In 1869 he moved on the farm which is now owned by his son, Lewis C., about twenty acres of which was cleared, and his subsequent life was devoted to farming. He was a member of the Presbyterian church at Curwensville. In politics he was a stanch Democrat all his life. His death occurred at the age of sixty-seven years and his burial was in the McClure cemetery, near Curwensville.

Lewis C. Robbins attended the Robbins school in Pike township and also the
public schools of Curwensville, after which he assisted on the home farm and
about 1874 became the owner of his present property. He has his land all under cultivation with the exception of ten acres and has erected adequate and
substantial buildings.

On May 11, 1876, Mr. Robbins was married to Mrs. Jennie A. (Wolfe) Frye, widow of William Frye and daughter of Charles and Margaret (Ambrose) Wolfe. Mrs. Robbins' father was born in Dauphin county, Pa., and lost his life through
accident, at Glen Hope, Clearfield county, at the age of fifty-six years. His
wife was born in Center county and died aged thirty-five years. Mr. and Mrs.
Wolfe had four children: Isaac A., William A., Franklin P. and Jennie A. They
were members of the Presbyterian church. By her first marriage, Mrs. Robbins
had one daughter, Emma F., who is the wife of Thomas Williams of Wilkensburg.

Mr. and Mrs. Williams have children, Mary Margaret, Ethel G., Mabel, Eugene,
Dorothy, William P. and Ruth. To Mr. and Mrs. Robbins two children have been
born, George W. and James W. The former married Minta Lord, and they have six children: Lewis, Morris, Emma T., Eve Marie, Leata Margaret and Hazel Irene.

George W. Robbins and family reside on the home farm. James W. Robbins married May Cathcart, a daughter of Wesley and Nora Cathcart, of Knox township, and they have had five children: Verda, Howard Leroy, Andrew, Arthur D., and Wesley W., Verda and Wesley W. being the only survivors. William W. Robbins and family live in the state of Washington.

In politics Mr. Robbins is a Democrat and he has frequently been elected to
township offices by his fellow citizens and has served discreetly and honestly
and with so much efficiency that on several occasions, against his will, he has
been elected township collector, declining to serve. He has resided on his
present farm ever since his marriage. He has never sold possible coal deposits.

Mr. Robbins takes an interest in the Grange and attends its sessions at Olanta,
having been a member for some years. With his family he belongs to the
Methodist Episcopal church.5470
