JEHU F. ROBINSON, M. D. Although but a recent addition to the medical fraternity, Dr. Robinson is winning an enviable reputation as a practitioner of the healing art and is building up a lucrative practice. He is at present living on section 24, township 47, range 24, in Johnson County, on the old homestead, where his birth occurred July 31, 1869.

Our subject is the eldest in the family of John E. and Maggie (Hocker) Robinson, of whom a sketch will appear elsewhere in this volume. Their son was given a good education in the public schools of his native county, and later, when desirous of following an advanced course, he became a student in the State University, located at Columbia, this state.

Reared to farm life, our subject worked at this occupation when not in college until attaining his majority when, in order to fit himself for the medical profession, which he was ambitious of following, he entered the office of Dr. Decker, a prominent doctor of this section, studying under his guidance for one year. Later he entered the Barnes Medical College of St. Louis, from which he was graduated with honors in 1893, after taking the prescribed course.

When looking around him for a suitable location in which to commence practice. Dr. Robinson settled on the old home place, and is kept very busy in making calls throughout the township. With his professional skill he combines the tact which makes fast friends of the patients who come to him for treatment, and his close attention to business is bound to bring him in a good income.

Dr. Robinson and Miss Minnie H., daughter of John G. and Josephine (Honey) Senior, were married, April 18, 1893. Mrs. Robinson’s parents were natives of Johnson County, this state, and Kentucky, respectively. They are now living on a good estate in Pettis County, Mo. In politics the Doctor is a Democrat, and is regarded as one of the influential members of his party.
