Frank Stewart9 Arnold acquired his educa- tion in the Brooklyn public schools, the Mont- clair (N.J.) High School, and the Adelphi Academy, Brooklyn. His business training was begun in the largest wholesale tinware house in New York City, where he remained for three years, or until 1880, and continued in the employ of the Rice-Kendall Company, of Boston, the most extensive paper warehouse in the United States. Having become their leading salesman in the short space of five years, he was subsequently admitted a di- rector and finally chosen managing director of the company. The death of ex-Governor Alex- ander H. Rice, one of the largest shareholders, making it advisable for the Rice-Kendall Com- pany to withdraw from business, Mr. Arnold resigned his directorship in November, 1898,

OSWELL RAYMOND ROBINSON, of Malden, traces his ancestry back to early Colonial times, and counts among his forefathers a soldier of the Revolution. His immigrant ancestor, George' Robinson, who was a native of England, is supposed to have been sixteen years old when he came to America. In 1643 this progenitor settled in Rehoboth, on land purchased from the Indian chief, Massasoit. Subsequently he became one of the original proprietors of the site of Attleboro, Mass., which was purchased from Wamsutta, a son of Massasoit, in 1661. He took an active part in King Philip's War. His wife, Joanna Ingraham, whom he m. in Re- hoboth, June 18, 1651, d. on July 20, 1699. His death followed on November 9 of the same year.

George2 Robinson, Jr., b. in Rehoboth, February 21, 1656, son of George' and Joanna Robinson, d. at Attleboro, September 30, 1724. On November 17, 1680, he m. Eliza- beth Guild, who was b. in Dedham, February 18, 1660, daughter of John and Elizabeth (Crooke) Guild. His son Noah, 3 a native of Rehoboth (b. October 9, 1702, d. in Attle- boro, December 7, 1788), m. Patience Dag- gett in Attleboro, October 4, 1722. Born in Martha's Vineyard in 1705, daughter of Dea- con John Daggett, she d. in Attleboro, Sep- tember 27, 1793.

Captain Enoch+ Robinson, son of Noah and his wife Patience, was b. in Attleboro, Novem- ber 4, 1736. One of his earlier occupations was that of school teacher. In 1791 be was chosen Deacon of the Congregational Church in Attleboro. Fully sympathizing with the patriotic aspirations of the period, he in 1774 served on a town committee deputed to ascer- tain and give notice of what persons "shall presume to make use of any India tea." .At the outbreak of the War of Independence, he had a contract for the manufacture of a num- ber of gun-locks needed by the Continental army. As Lieutenant of a company of sixty minute-men, he responded to the Lexington alarm, April 19, 1775, by marching to Rox- bury. He subsequently served in the war to its close, holding the rank of Captain from September 12, 1778. He d. in his native town, November 6, 1798. The maiden name of his wife, whom he m. in Attleboro, Decem- ber 17, 1761, was Mindwell Shepard.

Their son, George W. Robinson, who was a noted inventor, obtained a number of patents that were signed by George Washington, and are now kept among other treasures of the past in the Boston Public Library. Together with his brothers, Enoch and Ezra, he was engaged for many years in the manufacture of locks and house and ship trimmings, their shop being located in Fulton Street, Boston. The store sign subsequently used by Enoch may still be seen on the front of an establishment on Corn- hill, Boston, where his son conducts a large business in fine locks, antique brass goods, and other articles.

He was educated in the public schools and at Bristol Academy, all of Taun- ton, his native town. His business career began at an early age in a large store of Taun- ton. Starting here in a very subordinate posi- tion, his promotion to the head of a department was rapid. In 1861 he and his brother, Ros- well R., joined in the soap manufacturing business that Frederick Richards Robinson had established in 1852.

Mr. Robinson was married May 8, 1858, to Sina Strobridge Smith, who was born in Middleboro, Mass., April 19, 1837, daughter of Elbridge W. and Mary (Gammons) Smith, of Middleboro.
