EVERETT ROBINSON
January 22, 1816 - August 5, 1897
€
EVERETT ROBINSON.
Born January 22nd, 1816. Died August 5th, 1897.
Everett Robinson was the son of Josiah and Caroline (Eaton) Robinson and was the oldest of a family of four children.
On the maternal side he was a direct descendant of Francis Eaton, the Pilgrim.
He was born at the family homestead in the northern village and his whole life was spent in Middleboro. His boyhood was like that of the average New England youth of the period, his training in habits of right living, industry, and frugality being of a thorough and enduring character.
His early education was largely obtained in primitive schools held in the homes of the neighborhood, there being no regular school-house in his district at that period.
School teaching in various parts of the town occupied many years of his young manhood, and all the while he was studying law during his leisure hours.
He was a member of the bar for more than half a century. He read Blackstone in the office of Zachariah Eddy, and was admitted in April 1846. He began active practice immediately and was associated at first with Mr. Eddy, their office being located in a building which stood near the residence of the late Hon. James H. Harlow.
Squire Robinson was always regarded by the bench and bar as an emminently safe attorney, conscientious in the preparation of his cases and fair in the presentation of them in court.
He was a lawyer of the old school and in court. practice was unconventional in action and utterance, yet remarkably success- ful withal. He was especially effective as a jury lawyer, and won marked successes also in the Supreme courts.
In the probate courts he was a frequent visitor and but few lawyers in this section were entrusted with the settlements of so many estates.
8
Mr. Robinson's record in public office is one of high honor and credit both to himself and the town which he served. He was elected for four terms as Representative to the General Court, in 1849, 1850, 1852 and 1862, and served as State Senator in 1866, 1867 and 1876.
In the town government of fifty years ago he was a leader, serving as Town Clerk and Treasurer in 1849 and 1850, Select- man in 1852 and 1853, and upon the School Board in 1846. For a period of thirty years he dominated the Town meetings, always advocating a conservative policy in Town affairs, and his ideas were endorsed by a large number of influential tax-payers.
He was prominently identified with the establishment of the Middleboro Savings Bank in 1873, and was its first president, and was continued at the head of its management up to the year of his death.
The personality of Squire Robinson was a striking and orig- inal one in many respects. Independence in thought and action were prerogatives which he insisted upon for himself, and which he readily conceded to be the right of others.
He despised all forms of false pretense and hypocrisy and his course in life was directed along high lines of personal purity and rugged honesty of purpose and straight forwardness of con- duct. He worked quietly, seldom having a confident, and never allowing himself to enter upon any course of businese or public procedure without careful study of the situation.
A certain brusqueness of manner was in his case the veneering of a heart full of kindness, he was good to the poor, giving judiciously, but quietly.
Mr. Robinson married Sarah Elizabeth Taylor of Dartmouth.
