W. J. ROBINSON

     Mr. Robinson came from Minnesota to the Wenatchee country near the
mid-eighties, at which time he was about sixty years of age. His first location
was on what is now South Okanogan Avenue, on a 160-acre tract that he later
disposed of to the brothers, J. H., and J. F. Miller. In 1887, he removed to the
Colockum Valley, and acquired land bordering on the creek of that name. He made
very substantial improvements on the ranch which included the planting of a pear
orchard; but through some misfortune, for which he was not himself responsible,
he lost his place and moved away. His loss was keenly regretted by the entire
community.
