Prof. J. Monroe Robins, school commissioner of Bollinger County, is a native of that county, born in 1858, and is a son of George W. and Susan (Rhodes) Robins. The father was of French-English descent, and was born in Weakley County, Tenn., in 1832. When a small boy he came to Missouri with his father, John D. Robins, a Baptist minister, who preached throughout Southeast Missouri. He died in Johnson County, Ill., where he spent the last years of his life. George W. was married in 1857. His wife was born in North Carolina in 1832, and came when small to Missouri. During the Civil War Mr. Robins was a member of the Missouri State Militia. He and wife have four children: J. Monroe, Nancy C., Martha S. (Mrs. M. E. Cobb) and Rachel J. Prof. J. Monroe received his early education in the common schools, and at the age of eighteen began teaching, which he continued for three years. In 1880 he entered the State Normal School, at Cape Girardeau, and graduated in a classic course in June, 1885, receiving a Normal certificate and a special State certificate. In 1885 he was elected principal of the public schools at Marble Hill, and in 1886 was reelected to the same position. In 1887 he was elected school commissioner of Bollinger County, which position he has since filled in a very satisfactory manner. Politically he is a Republican, and although in a Democratic county, he was elected over three opponents, with a majority of more than half of all the votes cast. He is an energetic young man with a bright future before him, and is a member of the Masonic order.
