Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Telephone, January 8, 1913, p. 1. NOTE: In 1910, William Robinson, age 60, single and a native of Pennsylvania, was enumerated in the household of James McReady (difficult to read, indexed as Mccreally at Ancestry), age 61, a stone mason and the owner of his rural home in Bloomington Township, Monroe County, Indiana. Robinson was identified as a companion to McReady and an umbrella mender. "UMBRELLA BILLY" GOES TO THE POOR FARM "Umbrella Billy," as he is familiarly known in most every town in this section of the state, has been taken to the county poor asylum after he had struggled for years against poverty. William Robinson is his name, but he has gone by the name of "Umbrella Billy" for years because his only vocation was that of mending umbrellas. "Billy" came to Bloomington many years ago and it is said that at one time he had some money but was too liberal to his friends. He slept anywhere he could find a place to lie down and was never known to harm any person.
