Underhill and Westford, Vt., Robinson family photograph album, ca. 1906-1912.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/767968363

Photograph album comprised pimarily of family pictures of members of both the Robinson family and the related Fiske and Shiland families. This album documents the family of Asher Corse Robinson (1839-1911), particularly his granchildren, in the period, ca. 1906-1912. Numerous photographs of his young grandchildren, Charlene Shiland (b. 1905), Donald Shiland (1908-1972), Mortimer C. Robison, Jr., (1900-1980), Robert F. Robinson (b. ca. 1906), Clifton Robison (1901-1976) and Winfield Robinson (b. 1902) dominate the album. Charlene's mother, Bertha Robinson Shiland (b. 1869) or "Aunt Bertha" also appears in several group photographs as do Asher Robinson's other children, including, Fannie Robinson Fiske (b. ca. 1875), Adelle Robinson Fiske (b. 1863) and her husband, Burton Colburn Fiske (1863-1942), and Mortimer C. Robinson, Jr. ("Uncle Mort") and his wife ("Aunt Nell"). However, the emphasis of almost all the pictures is on Asher Robinson's young grandchildren. There is one portrait of Asher Robinson in 1907 included. Other photographs include landscapes and buildings, particularly of Asher Robinson's farm in Westford, Vermont, and the nearby Cloverdale Creamery. Several photographs of Marble Island in Alaska were taken by Asher Robinson's eldest son, George C. Robinson (1860-1925), in 1909 and are included in the back of the album with a possible image of the Vermont Marble Company provided for comparion. Several of the photographs may also have been taken in Michigan or in Worcester, Mass., where some of Asher Robinson's children settled. However, most of the images appear to have been taken on visits to the Robinson farm in Westford, Vermont.
