C. A. Robins

Charles Armington Robins (December 8, 1884 – September 20, 1970) was an American physician and the 22nd governor of Idaho.

[1] Given free transportation by the Great Northern Railway to look at two towns that needed physicians, he left Chicago the following week.

He arrived in St. Maries, Idaho, on Christmas Eve and chose it over Three Forks, Montana, and stayed for 28 years, until elected governor.

Not allowed to compete for a second term in 1950, he ran for the U.S. Senate, but was defeated in the August primary by Herman Welker.

[2] Robins married Marguerite Sherman Granberry (1892–1938) on July 8, 1919, in Hazlehurst, Mississippi; she died at age 46 in May 1938 and they had no children.
