Augustine Monroe and Douglas Robinson Jr.

 

Augustine Monroe attended St. Paul’s School from 1866 to 1868 and is a member of the Form of 1872.

Douglas Robinson Jr. attended St. Paul’s School from 1866 to 1871 and is a member of the Form of 1872.

Robinson married Corinne (Conie) Roosevelt, the sister of Theodore Roosevelt, and is described in the book The Roosevelts: An American Saga, by Peter Collier (pg. 56) as “a large man with a large voice”, and having “an active wit and quick laughter”. Further, it says:

It was Douglas Robinson who acutely observed what others would feel upon marrying a Roosevelt – that one risked being “hung on the family like a tail to a kite.”
