BENJAMIN W. ROBBINS
Benjamin AU. Robbins
Benjamin W. Robbins, a son of Chandler and Sarah (Burgess) Robbins, was born at North Carver, August 12, 1835.
He attended school in his native village, and when about eighteen years old went to work for William S. Eddy of Middle- boro and later for Colonel Peter Peirce.
His knowledge of oxen and good farming were appreciated by Colonel Peirce who entrusted him with many responsibilities.
On April 9, 1862, Mr. Robbins married Lydia M. Hammond, a daughter of Deacon Thomas Hammond of Carver, and with his bride, settled in May of the same year, on the farm vacated by his brother John, which has continued to be their home ever since.
Mr. Robbins was an exceptionally honest and industrious man, one whom every one trusted and respected. He was never so happy as when busy on the farm or cranberry bogs. He was one of the pioneers in the cranberry industry and previous to 1870 had shipped 200 barrels of berries in a single year from his bogs at Swan Holt and Mahutchette.
In 1882 he was the choice of Carver as the Republican candi- date for Representative. He was elected and served his district well.
Perhaps the public enterprise for which Mr. Robbins worked the hardest was the building of the Plymouth and Middleboro railroad, serving later as one of the directors.
He was a firm supporter of the temperance movement, was a member of the committee who built the old town hall, built the first half mile of macadam road in Carver, was a member of the Congregational Church for many years, and aided in having it incorporated as "The First Congregational Church of Carver," thus separating it from the old parish system. He was a trustee at the time of his death, March 25, 1912.
Mr. Robbins is missed, but he will be remembered by those who knew him as a prompt, decisive man, fearless and brave, a friend of the needy and thoughtful of the sick.
