Raymond Robinson

ADDPMP698

Raymond Robinson was eight years old when he was injured by an electrical line as he climbed a pole and reached for a bird’s nest on the Morado Bridge outside of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, US. The bridge carried a trolley and had electrical lines of both 1,200 and 22,000V, which had been responsible for the death of another boy less than a year earlier. Robinson survived but he was severely disfigured, losing his eyes, nose and right arm.
As an adult, because of his appearance, he rarely ventured out during the day. However, at night, he went for long walks on a quiet stretch of State Route 351, feeling his way along with a walking stick. Groups of locals regularly gathered to search for him walking along the road. Robinson stopped his walks during the last years of his life and retired to the Beaver County Geriatric Center where he died in 1985 at the age of 74.
