Soldier Priests Bound by War and Faith Meet Final Rest
In New York the Rev. Father Thomas Verney Robinson was laid to rest in the Paulist crypt. He and fellow priest Rev. Elliott, lifelong friends from Civil War days, shared battles and later the religious calling. Born 1840 in Richmond, Robinson studied at William and Mary and VMI before serving as a cavalryman under J.E.B. Stuart. Elliott, from Detroit, also left law for army duty and later the priesthood.
