with the Bethany Presbyterian church, and with the Alexander Hamilton Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, Franklin, Indiana. In ad- dition to social duties, she also took an intelligent and sympathetic interest in the several phases of her husband's work, as a citizen, as a practitioner of medicine, as a public health official and as a hardworking and faithful leader of the civic and municipal development of his home community. But these many activities are but incidental to her environment. By nature she is thoroughly domestic in her inclinations and is, first of all and above all, a cheerful and lovable home maker and a devoted, affectionate wife and mother. To these priceless moral traits have been added a personality of rare beauty and charm. She has brought happiness into her husband's home and they live an idyllic life of perfect congeniality. They are the parents of two chil- dren : Helen Irene, born September 7, 1910, and Webster Lucian, born Janu- ary 1, 1912.
In the paternal line Mrs. Terhune can trace her lineage no farther than her grandfather, William Robinson, who was born near New Romney, Kent. England, August 29, 1809. His father was a land owner and magistrate in his own community, but William, not being the first-born, did not inherit the land, so upon the death of his father he left his native land and sought a new home in the great western world. He crossed the ocean and came to Port Sarnia, Ontario, where he was married to Anne Matthews, January 15, 1838. Miss Matthews was also a native of England, having been born at Salisbury, Wiltshire, on the 19th of January, 1822, and had come to America in 1833. The young couple lived in Port Sarnia until 1847, when they came to the States and located in Waukesha county, Wisconsin. Previous to the out- break of the Civil war they moved to Leon. Wisconsin, where they lived until 1871 ; thence to Lemond, Minnesota, where Mr. Robinson owned a farm and lived until 1887. In that year they went to Owatonna. for one year and thence to Bowdle, South Dakota. where Mr. Robinson succumbed to pneu- monia, May 14, 1889. After her husband's death, Mrs. Robinson lived for ten years with her daughter, Mrs. Kayser, at Marshall, Minnesota, and then with another daughter, Mrs. David Gamble, at Milbank, South Dakota, until Mrs. Gamble's death, and then with her son, William, at Milbank. where she peacefully fell asleep, October 8, 1913. They were the parents of twelve children, as follows:

Henry J. Robinson was born at Port Sarnia, Ontario, January 9, 1844. He accompanied his parents in their removal to the States and in their few changes of residence until their location at Leon, Wisconsin. Upon the out- break of the Civil war Mr. Robinson was anxious to become a soldier, but as his parents would not give their consent, he deferred to their wishes and refrained from enlisting until after his twenty-first birthday. Then he and his brother William enlisted at LaCrosse on the 28th day of March, 1865, and were assigned to Company K, Fifty-eighth Regiment of Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, under Col. J. H. Lewis. But the war was practically over and the boys were sent to the woods and swamps of Missouri to guard the Missouri Pacific railroad, then in process of construction, from the vandalism of guerillas. More monotonous service than that could not be imagined and the boys were delighted when honorably discharged July 28, 1865, after only four months service. Mr. Robinson returned to Leon, Wisconsin, where he was united in marriage with Cynthia Ellen Burr, the bright, attractive teacher of the village school, on the 8th of April, 1868. In April, 1869, the young

couple went to Lemond, Minnesota, for residence. Here Mr. Robinson pur- chased a farm of one hundred and sixty acres and engaged in farming and stock raising, in both of which he was eminently successful. Failing health induced him to take up the business of dealing in agricultural implements, for which there was an immense demand due to the rapid development of the vast farming regions of the Northwest. His death occurred in Owatonna, Minne- sota, January 4, 1885, leaving a wife and three children, namely, Harry Leigh, Ernest Lynn and Evabel.
In the maternal line Evabel ( Robinson) Terhune has descended from a long line of New England ancestry that can be traced back to
(I) Benjamin Burr, who came from England in the Winthrop fleet which landed at Salem, June 22, 1630. Of all the people who came from England to find homes in the New World there were none of a higher type than the nine hundred that composed that notable migration. "Not adven- turous, not vagabonds were these brave. people, but virtuous, well educated, courageous men and women, who for conscience' sake left comfortable homes with no expectation of returning."
"A part of the new immigrants settled at Salem, others at Cambridge and Watertown." In all probability Benjamin Burr went to Cambridge and re- mained there until 1635 or 1636 when the immigration from that place led to the founding of Hartford, Connecticut, for on a memorial tablet in the Central Congregational church at Hartford may be found the name of Benja- min Burr as one of the original founders of that city. In May, 1637, he was one of the sixty volunteers who marched under Captain John Mason to take part in the Pequot War. He died in Hartford on the 31st of March, 1681.
(II) Thomas Burr, a son of Benjamin and Anne Burr, was born at Hartford, Connecticut, January 26, 1645. He married Sarah Speck, a daugh- ter of Gerard Speck, of Hartford. He was a member of the First church of Hartford and died in that city in 1733.
(III) Rev. Isaac Burr, son of Thomas and Sarah (Speck) Burr, was born in Hartford in 1697. He graduated at Yale College in 1717, and was ordained pastor of the Presbyterian church at Worcester, Massachusetts, and in 1744 he was called to Windsor, Connecticut, where he remained in charge of a Presbyterian church until his death in 1752. He married a daughter of Judge John Eliot, grandson of John Eliot, the famous apostle to the Indians.
(IV) Dr. Isaac Burr, Jr., son of Rev. Isaac Burr, was born in Hart- ford, Connecticut, in 1724, and was a reputable physician in that city all his life.

(V) Isaac Burr, Jr., a son of Dr. Isaac Burr, Sr., was born in 1759 in Windsor, Connecticut. He married Irene Orcott, of that place. He was a soldier of the Revolution and fought in the battle of Bennington, August 17, 1777. In the year 1804 he removed to Ellisburg, New York, where he died April 27, 1827.
(VI) Harry Burr, son of Isaac Burr, Jr., and Irene (Orcott) Burr, was born in Dorset, Vermont, October 20, 1803, and was taken by his parents to Ellisburg, New York, in the year 1804. He was married to Alvira Adeline Thompson, of Ellisburg, February 28, 1833. He moved the same year to Copley, Ohio, where he lived twelve years; thence to Florence, Erie county, Ohio. for eight years, and thence to Fulton county. Ohio, for three years. In 1866 he moved to Leon, Wisconsin, where he died January 15. 1876.
Alvira Adeline (Thompson) Burr was born at Ellisburg, New York, January 17, 1813, and died in Fulton county, Ohio, July 21. 1854. She had descended in the paternal line from Jasper Thompson, of Ballston Spa, New York. He was a soldier of the Revolution and was severely wounded in the leg. He married Hannah Needham, of Ballston Spa, and they were the parents of seven children, as follows: Jasper, Robert, Crowell, Eleanor, Harmer, Needham and Mary Ann.
Needham Thompson was born in Ball Town Springs, New York, in 1790 and served as a drum major in the war of 1812. He was married to Sally Holley, of Westmoreland, New York, January 30, 1812. Sally Holley, daughter of Nathan and Cynthia (Tillison) Holley, was born at Westmore- land, New York, June 1, 1797, and died at Leon, Wisconsin, April 5, 1881. Other children of Nathan and Cynthia Holley were Alonzo, Morgan, Alzina and Nathan. David Holley, brother of Nathan, Sr., had a son. David, whose daughter, Marietta Holley, became famous as the author of "Josiah Allen's Wife," "Samantha Allen at Saratoga" and other productions similar in kind.
Needham and Sally (Holley) Thompson were the parents of Owen. Ora, William, Alvira Adeline, Cynthia, Alzina Emmeline and Sally Anne.

Cynthia Ellen ( Burr) Robinson was born at Copley. Ohio, March 8, 1845, the daughter of Harry and Alvira Adeline ( Thompson) Burr. She secured a good education and began teaching school at the age of nineteen years, which vocation she followed for four years. She accompanied her father to Leon, Wisconsin, in 1866, and there met Henry J. Robinson, to whom she was married April 8, 1868. After the death of Mr. Robinson, at Owatonna, Minnesota, January 4, 1885, she remained in Owatonna until both her sons had completed their high school course. In October, 1892, she removed with her son, Ernest, and daughter, Evabel, to Minneapolis, where she has since made her home, that she might be near her two sons, Harry and Ernest, Harry having already established a business in the city before her arrival.
Harry Leigh Robinson, elder son of Henry and Cynthia Ellen (Burr) Robinson, was born at Leon, Wisconsin, February 22, 1869. He was taken by his parents when but nine weeks of age to Lemond, Minnesota, where the family lived for thirteen years. Then they went to Owatonna, where the boy entered the city schools, from which he graduated June 1, 1887. A col- lege education had been his ambition, but the death of his father before he was sixteen years old caused him to decide to begin at once a business career. He secured a position in a mercantile establishment in his home city, at which he worked for four years. Then feeling capable of greater things, he went to Minneapolis, where on the 2d of March, 1892, he formed a partner-

ship with Messrs. Ross A. and David F. Gamble for the purpose of establish- ing a wholesale fruit and produce commission business under the firm name of the Gamble-Robinson Company. In April. 1903, this business was incor- porated under the original name with the following officers: President, Ross A. Gamble; vice president, David F. Gamble; secretary and treasurer, Harry L. Robinson. The business has grown with marvelous rapidity from one room and a few hundred dollars of capital in 1892 to a corporation with fourteen branch houses and $1,000,000.00 capital in 1913. This vast business operates over a territory extending seventeen hundred miles from Big Timber, Montana, to Sudbury, Ontario. Its organization and promotion has been the purpose nearest Mr. Robinson's heart for more than twenty years. Be- sides the original house in Minneapolis, from which the business took its name, there are now thirteen branch houses. Of these different enterprises Mr. Robinson is prominent of five and secretary and treasurer of eight. He is skillfully and masterfully promoting and developing this business to a point compared with which its present volume will seem small indeed.
On the 26th day of January. 1897, Mr. Robinson was united in marriage with Irene Allen, a descendant of prominent Vermont families, but a resident of Minneapolis. She was born January 27, 1875, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the daughter of Charles and Caroline (Eaton) Allen. She is a most estimable and charming young lady and is a musician of much talent and culture. Their home life is ideal, and they are the parents of three children. as follows: Harold Allen Robinson, born October 9, 1900; Harry Leigh Robinson, Jr., born June 9, 1908; Douglas Burr Robinson, born December 15, 1912.
Politically, Mr. Robinson is a Republican and religiously, a Congrega- tionalist. He is a member of the Minneapolis Commercial Club and of the Automobile Club. By way of recreation from his strenuous business labors Mr. Robinson travels. In person he is slender, with a refined face, and a manner so quiet and unobtrusive that one would almost think of him as some scholarly gentleman of retiring habits rather than a hustling, successful busi- ness man of great constructive and executive ability.
Ernest Lynn Robinson, second son of Henry J. and Cynthia Ellen (Burr) Robinson, was born at Lemond, Minnesota, March 16, 1871. The first twelve years of his life were spent on a farm. During the cold winters of that latitude, he and his brother, Harry, walked across the prairies a mile and a half to the little country school house. Then, on account of his father's failing health, the family went to town to live in the autumn of 1883. When Ernest was but fourteen years of age he suffered the irreparable loss of his father by death. Many days of sadness followed for the tender-hearted little lad,

but his mother was brave and far seeing and held steadfast to the purpose of securing for her chilren the advantages of an education. So Ernest continued his studies until he graduated from the Owatonna schools in June, 1892. In October, 1892, he went to Minneapolis and began work for the Gamble-Robin- son Commission Company, and has been connected with the firm ever since. In 1903, when the business was incorporated he became a stockholder, and in 1899 he went to the Pacific coast in the interest of the company and remained for nearly three years. While in California he met Lulu Maude Blaney, a daughter of the Rev. Linus and Mrs. Gertrude (Demmon) Blaney. of Ken- dallville, Indiana, and they were united in marriage at Los Angeles, April 2. 1902. Mrs. Robinson was born July 17, 1876. Their union has been blessed with three beautiful little girls, as follows: Eleanor Lucille, born June 16. 1903 : Dorothy June, born June 2, 1909, and Virginia Roselda, born November 13, 1911. Mr. and Mrs. Robinson have lived in Minneapolis since 1903, but he has continued to travel for the firm and has been in every state in the union, as well as in Canada and Maxico. He is a faithful member of the Park Ave- nue Congregational church. Politically, he is a Republican. It has been Mr. Robinson's good fortune and to be endowed with a refinement of manner, an integrity of character, a kindliness of nature and a charm of personality, that win for him the love of all whom he meets.
VORIES LINEAGE.
Caroline Vories was descended in the paternal line from Steven Coerte or Steven Koers, the common ancestor of the Voorhees and Van Voorhees families of America, who with his wife and daughter, Merghein, emigrated in April. 1660, in the ship Bontekoe (Spotted Cow). In the old world Steven Coerte had no family name, but when he began life anew in the great new world, he adopted as his surname the name of the village or community in Holland from which he came. This happened to be a small neighborhood of nine houses and fifty people, near Ruinen, Drenthe, Holland, known locally as "Hess" or "Hies." The father of Steven Coerte was Coerte Alberts who lived in front of Hees (Hies) or before Hees (Hies). The word "Voor" signifies "before," so the two words were combined into the name "Voorhees." The prefix "Van" meaning "from" was often used and these three words "Van-Voor-Hees" thus combined formed the full family name of the descend- ants of Steven Coerte in America. Steven Coerte was born in 1600. He married Willempie Roelofse, who was born in 1619 and died in 1690. On November 29, 1660, he purchased a farm of Cornelius Dirckson Hoogland. in Flatlands, on which he settled and where he died February 16, 1684. His

descendants located in different places on Long Island, in New Jersey and at Caughhaughwago, Pennsylvania. At the latter place Francis Voorhees was born in 1763. During the winter of 1779-80 he and his widowed mother, in company with a family of Bantas, came to Kentucky and located near Harrod's Station. Francis Voorhees married Charity Montfort, about the year 1786, and moved to the "Low Dutch Tract," situated in Shelby and Henry counties. He was a soldier in the expeditions of Harmer and St. Clair against the Indians. When the Indian wars were brought to a close he re- turned to his farm, on which he remained until his death in 1848. . Francis and Charity (Montfort) Voorhees were the parents of the following children : Peter, Francis, William, James, John, Eliza (Thomas), Polly ( Mary Town- send) ). Catherine (Yarber). Charity (Crawford), Henry, Preston, and one other.
John Vories, son of Francis and Charity (Montfort) Voorhees, was born in Shelby county, Kentucky, May 3, 1797. He was married in the year 1819 to Mrs. Sarah (Cully) Garrett, of Louisville, Kentucky, a daughter of James and Sarah Cully, of Greenbrier county, Virginia, where she was born on the 3d day of February, 1782. She had been married to William Garrett.
After her marriage to John Vories, Mrs. Sarah (Cully Garrett) Vories was the mother of two children, as follows: Hervey, born near Campbells- burg, Henry county. Kentucky, January 28, 1821 ; Catherine, born in 1825 and married to John A. Coons, January 2, 1843. Hervey Vories was married on February 17, 1842, to Alazannah Carter. She was a daughter of John and Margaret (McClure) Carter, and was born near Christiansburg, Montgomery county, Virginia, April 1, 1815, and came to Johnson county, Indiana, with an uncle, John Dusing, and family in the year 1838. After a long life of use- fulness and devotion to her family, Mrs. Vories passed away, January 17, 1898, and Mr. Vories followed her to their long home January 11, 1903. They were the parents of eight children as follows: John Rufus, Caroline (mother of Rufus W. Terhune), William Allen, Emmeline. James Mont- gomery, Angeline, Catherine and Hervey Daniel.

in May, 1880, after which his widow returned to the home of her father, with whom she lived in Hodgenville, in Wichita and in Sedalia, Missouri. She soon returned, however, to her beloved Kentucky, where she was married to Dr. Terhune in Louisville, June 21, 1892. After her marriage she lived at Whiteland, Indiana, until her death, October 15, 1898. In early life she be- came a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, in which she continued until the year 1895, when she identified herself with the Bethany Presby- terian church of Whiteland. She was a daughter of Bryant R. Nall and Catilena (Creal) Nall, of Larne county, Kentucky. Mr. Nall was born near Elizabethtown, Kentucky, October 16, 1831. He was a son of James and Amanda (Boone) Nall. James Nall was born in Scott county, Kentucky, in 1787, and was one of the first settlers in Hardin county. He was a pioneer Baptist minister and was assessor in Hardin county for many years. He was killed by a fall from his horse in 1842. His father was a soldier of the Revolution and also one of the first settlers in Kentucky.
Amanda Boone, mother of Bryant R. Nall, was born in Meade county, Kentucky, in 1902. She was a daughter of Enoch and Lucy (Goldman) Boone. Enoch Boone, son of Squire Boone and nephew of the famous Daniel Boone, was born near Boonesborough, on the Kentucky river, October 16, 1777, and had the distinction of being the first white male child born in the state of Kentucky. He was one of the first settlers of Meade county. where he died in 1862, aged eighty-five years.
Bryant R. Nall was a carpenter, a millwright and a contractor and builder. He built the Larne county court house in Hodgenville and also several large mills and bridges in Larne and adjoining counties. He came to Hodgenville in 1858 and lived there for twenty-nine years. In 1877 he was appointed government storekeeper and gauger, from which position he resigned in 1880 to be the Republican candidate for representative from Larne county. The county was normally Democratic by eight hundred votes, but Mr. Nall made such a vigorous campaign that he lacked but one hundred and six votes of being elected. This was the best race ever made by a Republican in Larne county. He was again appointed storekeeper and gauger the same year and held this position until 1885. In 1887 Mr. Nall went to Wichita, Kansas, near which place he bought a large farm. But three years later he moved to Sedalia, Missouri. He died June 15, 1901. He was twice mar- ried, first to Catilena Creal, of Meade county, November 6, 1857. She was born June 15, 1833, the daughter of Armstead and Margaret (Stark) Creal. After the death of his first wife Mr. Nall was married March 22, 1864, to Virginia Young Thomas.

GEORGE W. SIMON.
Self-assertion is believed by many people to be absolutely necessary to success in life, and there are good reasons for the entertainment of such belief. The modest man very rarely gets what is due him. The selfish, aggressive man elbows his way to the front, takes all that is in sight and it sometimes seems that modesty is a sin, with self-denial the penalty. There are, however, ex- ceptions to all rules and it is a matter greatly to be regretted that the ex- ceptions to the conditions are not more numerous. One notable exception is the case of the honorable gentleman whose life history we here present, who possesses just a sufficient amount of modesty to be a gentleman at all times and yet sufficient persistency to win in the business world and at the same time not appear over bold. As a result of these well and happily blended qualities Mr. Simon has won a host of friends in Franklin township, Johnson county, where he is well known to all classes as a man of influence, integrity and busi- ness ability.
