All of the above research was contributed by Cemetery Hopper whom I thank for transferring to me so that I might add some additional information. From the Maine Pomological Society: Henry A. Robinson of Foxcroft was one of our earliest life members, and one who in a special sense had the interests of the society at heart. It was a pleasure to have him with us at our annual meeting in Dexter in November, 1901, but it was a cause of no little sorrow to observe his declining health. Several times he called attention to the great pleasure the meeting gave him, and it was the secretary's privilege to induce him to stop over to the evening meeting by sharing his room with him. A few weeks later we were shocked to learn of his death, while of his life there were only the sweetest of thoughts. To his wife and family the members of our society join in extending heartfelt sympathy in their sorrow, while they rejoice in the noble, helpful life he led. Mrs. Robinson has kindly sent the secretary the following sketch of her husband, and it so beautifully tells the story of his noble life that it is a great pleasure to publish it for the perusal of our members: Henry A. Robinson, D.D.S., was born at Foxcroft, Maine, March 6, 1840. He received his education in the common schools, and at Foxcroft Academy; and taught his first term of school at the age of sixteen, continuing to teach in winter for several years, while in summer he assisted his father on the farm. He studied dentistry in the office of Dr. Henry Leavitt at Foxcroft, and afterward graduated from the Philadelphia Dental College in the class of 1867. He then established an office in Foxcroft, where he followed his profession for thirty-five years, taking great pride in doing first-class work. The doctor's chief interest, outside of his office, centered about fruit-growing, and he was a life member of the Maine Pomological Society, whose sessions he greatly enjoyed whenever he was able to attend. It addition to a large apple orchard, he had, besides the more common kinds, a number of varieties of Russian pear-trees, some of which were large enough to produce good preserving pears. He had also several varieties of plum trees, supplying fine large ones for the table and smaller kinds for preserves. For many years he raised strawberries in large quantities; also currants, of which his favorites were Fay's Prolific and the White Grape. Gooseberries, too, claimed his attention, and in recent years he cultivated successfully several new large varieties,—the Columbus, Triumph, etc. Grapevines, blackberries, red, yellow, and black raspberries, and many other fruits, were also to be found in his garden. Each individual tree and bush received his careful attention, and he was never happier than when working among them. As his health failed, his interest in fruits seemed to increase. He was as eager to see and learn about a new variety as an astronomer to see a new star. Flowers, both wild and cultivated, were his friends, and a small knot of them usually adorned his coat through the summer. Frequently when coming in from the field he would bring to the house some especially handsome specimen of clover or goldenrod, or the first wild rosebud of the season. In 1860, Dr. Robinson married Miss Adriana M. Stacy of Foxcroft, who, with a son and a daughter, survives him. For several years he suffered from a severe stomach trouble, which gradually reduced his strength, resulting in his death on January 24, 1902. As pointed out above, Henry A. Robinson studied dentistry (a precetorship?) in the office of Dr. Henry Leavitt (1838-1 Dec 1903). Dr. Leavitt was a mere two years senior to Robinson but Leavitt was known for helping those interested in learning dentistry. Dr. Charles Parker Sawyer (1940-1 Nov 1904) was another of his pupils in his Skowhegan, Maine office. Dr. Sawyer like Dr. Robinson went on to attend a dental school. In the early years of the dental profession some merely served a preceptoship while others felt a formal education in addition was the right course for them.
