Source From the article Where Easley Grew A Lost Landscape written by Alonzo Trezevant Folger in 1946 published in Pickensville Easley History Forest Acres McKissick Quest Program, Anne Sheriff, Teacher, pub. 1987 1988Pickensville Easley History Forest Acres McKissick Quest Program, Anne Sheriff, Teacher, pub. 1987 1988 In1887, W.W. Robinson and his then partner, R.T. Thornton, operated a mercantile establishment offering an assortment of goods ranging from household items to groceries to buggies and wagons. Housed in one room upstairs was the casket department , where, when there was a death, the bereaved came to select a casket. There was no funeral home in Easley. A hundred years ago the funerals were held in a church, or in the family home. It was not until 1950 that Robinson s built a separate funeral home and the caskets were moved out of the department store. The actual date of the organization of the Robinson Company is lost in antiquity, but it is known to have existed as early as 1884. An old issue of The Keowee Courier of that year carried an advertisement for the Hagood Company of Easley, the parent company of Robinson s. The company was originally established by W.M. Hagood, an entrepreneur responsible for much of the early growth of Pickens County. W.W. Robinson was his associate in the business. Within a few years Hagood responded to the lure of the textile industry and sold his interest in he store to Robinson and his friend, Thornton.
