Read More	He was the eldest child of Ebenezer and Hannah Ackley Robinson. He was raised on the farm cleared by his father, being employed nine months in the year in tilling the land, and attending school for three months in the winter. To these advantages for an education were added one term at the old Academy at Duttonsville, and another at a High School in Granville, N. Y. The sons and daughters of the early settlers of Vermont were content to build their homes around their ancestral hearth stones, and the subject of our sketch with his five brothers and sisters, all settled in or near the village of South Reading, Vt., lived and died there, and were buried in the old village graveyard on the hill. Lewis Robinson proved himself a man of marked ability and energy. Soon after he came of age he engaged in the business of book publishing, establishing a printing office at Greenbush. He published a number of works there, and soon after went into the copper plate printing and the publication of maps and Scripture paintings at South Reading. In the map manufacture he found a large field. He was one of the most extensive copper plate map publishers. In 1836 with two of his brothers-in-law, he established a large map publishing house in Akron, Ohio. In 1839, he opened a store, and soon after built a starch mill and carried on starch manufacturing. In 1844, he established a branch of his map business at Stanstead, Lower Canada, and published there Canadian maps. In truth Lewis Robinson showed a business capacity of an uncommon order. In politics he was a staunch Whig until the organization of the Republican party, when he found himself in sympathy with this new movement and voted with the party. For himself he would never seek nor accept any political office. He was not a man of many words, but took a serious view of life, and went about everything with the air of one who feels he has a mission to perform on earth, and an account to render for his stewardship here. For many years he was a faithful member of the Methodist Episconal Church. He lived to the age of seventy-eight years and died at his residence in South Reading, Nov. 16th, 1871.
