Biography reproduced from page 276 of the History of Kossuth and Humboldt Counties, Iowa published in 1884:

The first to enter the county and make a business of practicing law was Marcus Robbins, Jr. This gentleman came to Algona during the year 1865, and opened an office. He had been admitted to the bar in Minnesota and had been engaged in practice there. He had a fair library and was a well read lawyer; and excellent office worker and a good debator. He worked up considerable practice and in 1868 was nominated for the office of judge of this circuit, which had just been created. He is now a resident of Washington Territory, where he is engaged in the practice of his profession.
