ROBERT P. NEVIN, on the Porch at "Vineacre," Edgeworth.
[Photographed by Miss M. Irwin.]
On Tuesday last, July SI, the
most esteemed octogenarian of this
valley, Robert P. Nevin, completed
the 86th year of his life, and the
occasion was observed by the
gathering of a number of his relatives and friends at the Nevin residence, "Vineacre," Edgeworth.
Mr. Nevin was born July 31,
1820, in Cumberland county, Pa.,
at Shippensburg, He graduated
from Jefferson Gollege in 1842,
and shortly afterward entered into
the drug and white iead business"
with his brother, the late Theodore
H. Nevin, in Allegheny, His literary tasks developed, and he wrote
in prose and verse, at intervals —
perhaps to the neglect of his other
business, for which he had no
special liking—, for the Pittsburg
papers, especially the Gazette, then
owned by the late D. N. White, of
Sewickley; and for the Commercial,
edited by the late Robert M. Riddle. Later, he contributed for the
"Atlantic," Lippincott," "Knickerbocker," and other magazines.    In
1879 he had published his "Black
Robes, or Sketches of Missions and
Ministers in the Wilderness and on
the Border." In 1888 appeared
his work entitled "Les TroiaRois,"
(the Three Kings); and in 1900
his "The Beautiful River," and
other poems. He is also author of
"Tracks of a Traveler," a series of
letters written for the Pittsburg
Leader, during his twelve months'
journeying through Europe,
In 1870, Mr, Nevin purchased
an interest in the Pittsburg Sunday
Leader; starting, a year or so thereafter, the daily Leader, with which
he was connected until lately,   In
1880 he started the Pittsburg
Times, remaining with it for four
years, then disposing of it to the
late G. L. Magee, and retiring to
private life.
This venerable writer bids fair to
enjoy many birthdays, and such is
the hope of his host of friends in
the Valley.
