Henry Clark Robinson was born May 13, 1848, in Lee County, Illinois, and died on his farm in Wheeler township, Sac county, Iowa, February 18, 1912. He was the son of William Clark and Harriet Mathilda (Helmershausen) Robinson, natives of Pennsylvania and Maine, respectively. William C Robinson and wife were the parents of the following children: George W and Georgiana, twins, deceased; Mrs. Sophia Lehman, of Villisca, Iowa; and Henry Clark, whose history forms the theme of this narrative. Henry C Robinson married New Year's Day, 1874, when he was united to Janette Spiller, the daughter of Truman and Laura (Peaslee) Spiller, who were natives of New Hampshire, and came to Lee county, Illinois, in about 1864. The mother died in New Hampshire, and the father in Lee county, Illinois. Mr. and Mrs. Spiller were the parents of six children: Charles, deceased; Willis of Belvidere, Ogle county, Illinois; Arthur, deceased; Mrs. Mary Robinson of Belmont, Iowa; Janette, wife of Henry C Robinson; and Nathan, of Odebolt, Iowa. In 1878 Henry C Robinson and family came to Sac county, and in March of that year bought eighty acres of prairie land in Clinton township. While building their house, which was to be sixteen by fourteen feet, they lived in a hastily constructed shack which was only eight by sixteen feet. Six years later they were able to build a larger house with much better conveniences. When they came to this township, in 1878, Mr. Robinson bought one hundred and sixty acres of land in Wheeler township, at a cost of forty dollars an acre. His land had no improvements upon it at that time, but they built a house and constructed barns and other outbuildings and lived here for the next eighteen years. In 1909 Mr. Robinson sold eighty acres and in the same year bought one hundred and sixty acres in Richland township, on which Olden C one of his sons, is now living. Mr. and Mrs. Henry C Robinson were the parents of five children: Mrs. Harriet Mathilda Perry, of Wheeler township, this county, who has three children, Henry George, Eldon Wilber, and Evelyn Hope; Olden C, a farmer of Richland township, now living on the old homestead farm; Roscoe, a successful farmer of Spencer, Iowa, who is married and has four children, Roscoe Wayne, Esther Florence, Mary Helen, and Henry Clark; Elmer, a garage man at Spencer, Iowa; and Mary Ellen, the wife of James Preston Blount, of Wheeler township, this county, has one child, Bessie Jeanette.
