  Washburn became an apprentice in a Leicester, Massachusetts blacksmith shop at the age of sixteen. How well do you know the infamous Ichabod? With it the partners increased their production tenfold and were able to build up a substantial branch business of making wire cards. His financial endowments led to the naming of Washburn College (now Washburn University), in Topeka, Kansas and the foundation of Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, Massachusetts.

  He passed away in 1868.

  

  loc. Ichabod's son-in-law, Philip Moen, was also in the wire manufacturing business with his father-in-law, and his wife's uncle.

  Washburn College in Topeka, Kansas, adopted a variation of the Washbourne Arms, using creative license to alter the tinctures (colors), to its school's colors, and used it as its own logo. Some two years earlier the partners had begun the manufacture of iron wire, of which up to that time little had been made in the United States.

  Since becoming "Washburn University", the school has abandoned the Washburn Arms logo. Practically the whole of his fortune was bequeathed to religious institutions, to Lincoln (now Washburn) College, Kan. , and to the Worcester County Free Institute of Industrial Science (now the Worcester Polytechnic Institute), of which he was an active trustee.
