Throughout his life Mr., Robison was a good neighbor and friend.

Although he never affiliated with any church he always was interested in church and Sunday school affairs and was anxious and happy to have his family take an active part. He was a friend of education and worked hard for improvements in the school in the district in which the family lived. During a number of years he served as a member of the, school board in district No. 24. He also served as road overseer and as a Republic County Fair committeeman.
