Edward Robinson

Edward Robinson was born in South Carolina,  according to the 1930 census of Coatesville, Pennsylvania, that lists him as eight years old and living with his parents and siblings at 830 Coates Street. He married Helen Johnson of Philadelphia  and there was a reception at the Elks Home of Coatesville. Aunt Helen said that at the reception, her mother inquired about Eddie’s living arrangements. When it was discovered that Eddie had not prepared a place, Helen’s mom announced that Helen would be returning to Philly with her that night and that the last train left Coatesville at 0105 ! Thus, a very amused wedding party walked the new bride, a cousin and the mother to catch the train. As she recalled, Uncle Walter cried because he was too young to attend the function in the Elks Home. A week later, Eddie claimed his bride and in 1957 they moved to Carver Court. Aunt Helen turned 85 years old on May 17th (1923)
