[the following short biogarphy was written by Anna Elizabeth Lynch (Robinson)]
Ruth Lawrence Robinson (nee Wiswall) - born July 19, 1890 in Marlborough. Graduated Marlborough High School. Attended Normal School (College) (1909?) when it was only a two year college - taught school in many area schools. Lived in Marlborough all her life.
She was taken ill in about 1932 - and spent months in Keene Hospital (septic poisoning in hip). She was never completely well after this, and the family had a housekeeper for a number of years. Mother died in 1946 (Jan 24). An autopsy revealed she died of Addison's Disease, about which they knew very little of at the time.
