"Clark Robiinson was the first to settle Oelrichs, South Dakota, followed by an older brother, Tom, who wrote to the third brother, Grant, to 'pack up, come to Oelrichs, as it is a very promising country of farm land.'"
"While Tom was looking over the land and choosing some to rent with a house and proper buildings, his wife, Ida, and youngest son, Leslie, were traveling by wagon with their possessions and furniture from Belgrade, Nebraska to Oelrichs."
"In one year they were settled in their new home, so sent for their daughter, Elsie, sho was attending school in Tennesee, living with her aunt and uncle, Guy Robinson, their third son, was still living in Belgrade, Nebraska with his wife, Pearl, and two little daughters, Eleanor and Irene."
"In the meantime, after Elsie arrived to be with her parents, they traveled to Hot Springs by horse and buggy to the 'Adoption Welfare Department', and brought home thier choice of a younger sister for Elsie, a three and a half-year-old girl, named Rebecca Marie."
"Before long, World War I hit the States and we were involved in war. Leslie was drafted into the Army and had to leave the United States in June, 1918 to go to Paris, France to do duty on a big ammunitions train. He was gone until May 19, 1919, returning home to Oelrichs safely."
"During the horrors of World War I, a terrible influenza epidemic hit and many people died. Guy's wife, Pearl, was one of these. leaving him alone to care for and raise their two little daughters. Guy brought his daughters to Grandpa and Grandma Robinson's home from Belgrade for care, love and to live on the Robinson farm while helping his 'paw' do the work."
"After harvest time in 1920, Leslie left Oelrichs and went to California to follow his trained professional trade of house plastering. This left Tom and Guy to carry on the farm chores alone."
"The local school board needed a school teaher for the Homestead School, which was in district number 4. The district advertised and Miss Madge Cooper from Sturgis responded."
"The Tom Robinson home was selected for boarding and rooming Miss Cooper for two school year terms, 1918 and 1919."
"During 1920, Guy and Miss Cooper were married. What a happy wedding day, and what a chairvari celebration was given them."
"Uncle Clark felt sorry for them and turned one of his bedrooms over to them for privacy on their wedding night."
"Many neighbors, friends and relatives presented them with gifts."
"Soon the patter of baby feet echoed through the Robinson home and farm. Their first son, James C. Robinson, was born in August of 1921."
"Times became hard on the farm, so an auction was planned before the arrival of their second son, Tom K., expected in April, 1923. The Tom Robinson family had received glowing letters from Leslie and other relatives to come to California to live. Plenty of work and jobs to be had and no freezing weather."
"Clark Robinson had two sons, Vincent and Dale, who are still in Oelrichs.
Tom and Ida Robinson had six children. The surviving two are their daughters, Elsie and Rebecca Marie."
"They had eighteen grandchildren before Ida's death in 1936. Tom saw sixteen great-grandchildren before his death in 1956."
NOTES on back of family photo: The father was a plasterer and farmer by trade, was a 7th Day Adventist and vegetarian after 21 years old, was deeply religious and a good man. He lived to be in his late 80's (really 90's) and made his home with Guy and family 25 or 30 years.
OCCUPATION: Seventh Day Adventist Evangelist; Plasterer (source daughter-in-law, Helen Whitcomb Robinson) .

OBITUARY: Elgin Review, 1 Sep 1905, compliments of Brett Robinson;
John Samuel Robinson
Sunday morning brought to the people of this vicinity the sad news of the sudden death during the night of J.S. Robinson, at his home four and a quarter miles north of Elgin, from stomach trouble and heart failure. Mrs. Robinson was absent at the time and had been for a couple of weeks, visiting in Tennessee, and she was at once telegraphed for, arriving on Tuesday. Mr. Robinson had not been in very rugged health for several years past, having had two or three rather severe sick spells. Of late, however, he had seemed as well as usual, being able to be up and around and come to town occasionally. His death, therefor, which came so suddenly and practically without warning, was a distinct surprise and shock to the community.
John Samuel Robinson was born in the state of Indiana, about sixty-eight years ago. At the age of sixteen he moved with his father's family to the then new state of Wisconsisn. In Richland county, Wisconsin, he was married about forty-eight years ago to Mary Ann Leslie. To this union nine children were born. Of these, four were girls and five boys. Two girls and four boys still survive, as follows: Mrs. Lena Gollman, of Tennessee: Mrs. Lucia Patchen, of Fullerton, Nebraska: Thos. S. Robinson, of California; and Grant, Clark, and Roy Robinson of Elgin. Deceased came to Boone County, Nebraska, in 1871, settling near Cedar Rapids. His good wife died in 1896. He was married to Mrs. Clark Finch, of Tennessee, in 1900, and shortly afterward moved to the vicinity of Elgin, Nebraska, where he has resided on his farm. He was a man of mild and gentle disposition, and exemplary habits, upright and honorable in all his dealings with his fellow men. For about twenty years past he has been a member of the Seventh Day Advent Church, and Rev. Beems, of Wayne, a minister of that denomination officiated at his funeral which was held from the West Cedar Valley Congregational church on Wednesday. The interment took place in Elgin Cemetery.

OBITUARY; 18 Sep 1896, Boone County Outlook; compliments of Brett Robinson;
Died - At Fremont, Nebraska, of malarial fever, Monday morning, September 14, 1896, Mrs. Mary Ann Robinson, aged about fifty six years.
Mary Ann Robinson was born in Monroe county, Ohio, in the year 1840. Her mother died when she was about ten years of age. When twelve years of age she moved with her father to Wisconsin. Soon after this her older sister left home and upon her was placed the burden and responsibility of caring for her father's house. She was married to her now bereaved husband in 1858, when about 18 years of age. Nine children were born to her. Seven are living and two are dead. Filena Eulain, the eldest, is the wife of C.P. Bollman, and lives in Tennessee; Thomas lives in Cedar Rapids and Grant in Kansas; Jennia died when fourteen years of age; Clark B. is still at home; Lucy is married to Wm. Patchen: Roscoe died in infancy; Lillie Grace is now a missionary in Jamacia; Roy, the youngest, is with us. In 1871, about twenty-five years ago, Mrs. Robinson came with her husband and family to Nebraska and became one of the first settlers in the Cedar Valley. From childhood she had been accustomed to pioneer life. It was so even in Ohio, her native state. It was so in Wisconsin, and much of the time during her stay in Nebraska. She inherited a strong religious nature, and her inclination to peity was encouraged by her christian father. Early in life she followed the example of her parents and became a student of the Bible, and through all her life this book was her companion and guide. She was converted when but a girl, and joined the United Brethren church. Soon after her marriage she united with the New School Presbyterian church. After this when there was no society of that denomination convenient, she with her husband joined the Methodist church, and remained a member of that denomination until about sixteen years ago. She has become a zealous member of the Seventh day Adventist church, and died an ardent believer in the faith of that denomination. She was noted for her conscientious devotion to duty, whether to her home or to her church. She had her full share of the sorrows and sufferings of this life, but her christian faith never failed her and her patience was allowed to have its perfect work.
On the 30th of August they started from their home to attend the annual camp meeting of their church at Fremont, Nebraska. Soon after arriving at Fremont she was seized with the sickness which after ten days in spite of all that medical aid and expert nursing could do, terminated in her death. The body was brought home on the evening train last Monday. The funeral services were conducted at the house by the writer on the Tenth day afternoon, and the remains were laid to rest at six o'clock in the North cemetery.

Silas and Amanda Ellen (Richards) Robinson:
"Silas Robinson was the son of Andrew Robinson and Rebecca Robinson. Andrew was the youngest of ten children born to William Robinson and Nancy Miller Robinson.
"William was born in Ireland in 1782 and came to America as a young man. He settled in Pennsylvania and married Nancy in 1800. They then moved to Kentucky where they started their family of ten children. He was a farmer and raised cattle. Because of slavery found there he moved his family to Tippecanoe County in Indiana in 1820. In 1837, he sold his farm there and moved onto a farm in Kosciusko County in Seward Township. He lived in 160 acres until his death."
William and Nancy (Miller) Robinson, by Lee Etta Ellen Ogorek, Santa Ana, Calif.
"Carrie and I often talked of the old unpainted house on the rise at the end of the lane that was called "home", where we both were born.
"Carrie Robinson was born September 5, 1902 on the old Robinson homeplace on Section 9 of Seward Township, on which four generations of Robinsons had lived. She prized a parchment deed, signed by President Van Buren, attesting to the fact that 160 acres was purchased from the Government in 1837 by her great-grandfather, William Robinson (1778-1847), whose sons purchased adjoining land.
"William, born in Virginia, and Nancy Miller (1781-1857), born in North Carolina, were married in Franklin County, Kentucky in 1804. William was a breeder of horses. Their sons, Henry, William, Robert, John, James, George, and daughters, Ann and Sarah, were born there. Opposing slavery, William and Nancy left for Indiana in 1820 where Samuel and Andrew were born in Tippecanoe County.
When Kosciusko County opened, William and his sons were early landowners in 1837. The whole Robinson clan traveled the Wabash River to Akron and cut through the woods, braving wild animals, to their land in the old Franklin (Seward) Township and built log cabins. The first orchard, bankbarn, school, and church in the township was on their land. After William's death, Nancy continued to live on the homeplace with her youngest son, Andrew (1829-1883).
"...All of the Robinsons were buried in the old Franklin Cemetery on Road 14, near where Carrie had gone to school."

Alvin Robinson:
"...The grandparents of our subject, William and Nancy (Miller) Robinson, were born, reared and married in the State of Kentucky, and were the parents of eleven children, nine being natives of the same State -- Henry, William, Ann, Sarah, Robert, John, James, Samuel, George and Andrew. The grandparents came from near Frankfort, Franklin County, Kentucky, in 1829 to Indiana, when they located in Tippecanoe County, and in 1837 removed to Seward Township, Kosciusko County, and settled on the farm which is now owned and occupied by the widow and children of his youngest son, Andrew...".

A pioneer family to Nebraska. "He lived at the time of his first marriage in what is now Wyoming County, PA. The nearest grist mill was 60 miles away. At Wilkes-Barre, he went to mill by river in a skiff, and at one time because of a fresket? had to wait six weeks for his grist, then poled his skiff up river to his home. His family subsisted all the time on shad and parsley. He was abnormally muscular and his nerves were under such perfect control that he was able to climb great heights and maintain his balance. At 'raisings' he 'walked the rafters' from eaves to ridge pole, up one side and down the other, and would then stand on the peak of the front gable and drink from a bottle."

CLARK AND VIRGINIA ROBINSON
from the book In the Shadow of the Butte, A History of Oelrichs and Surrounding Area, copyright 1984, Oelrichs Historical Society, Oelrichs, South Dakota, printed by State Publishing Company Peirre, S.D., page 575
"Clark Benion Robinson was born in Booz, Wisconsin January 1, 1869, the son of J. S. (Samuel) and Mary Ann Robinson. Other children in the family were Thomas, Grant, Roy and Lucy. While still a small child, his parents moved to Nebraska. There were still some Indians in the area at that time, and they lived in a sod house."
"Clark was the first of three brothers to come to the Oelrichs area. In the year 1907 or 1908, he moved to a homestead seven miles southwest of the town. Later his brothers, Tom and Grant, came to the area."
"Clark married Virginia Ward, who had one son, Vincent, by another marriage. She was born May 5, 1877 near Charlotte, North Carolina. Their son, Dale was born June 20, 1917. They farmed and ranched in the area until Clark passed away April 6, 1952 at the age of 83."
"Virginia lived with her son Vincent, who never married, until her death December 21, 1965 at the age of 88."
"Both Dale and Vince still live in the Oelrichs area."
