3229. Sophronia Doty Jackson-1560
From OBR, P 171,"Sophronia Doty(Jackson) Robbins was left a widow after the death of her Doctor Crihfield, with four small children to support, a home with some indebtedness and no income. At once she found it necessary to permit her three elder children to go elsewhere. Her son Oscar was take to her father's farm, near by, by her brother Harris, who was operating the farm; her daughter Cora was permitted a home with the Dan Stiles family on their farm near Laud, while Norman went home with his aunt Armenia Bradrick to her farm home near West Unity, Ohio. None of the children were adopted. She kept her baby, Nora, less than a year old, and for two year did housework for various persons, worked in the harvest field and such other work offered her to support herself and baby. Then her father secured for her a loom, she soon learned to weave rag carpert and with her son Oscar re-established her home. In 1882 her daughter died of diphtheria at the home of Dan Stiles then living in Columbia City, Ind., and about 1890 her son Norman came back home, making a family of four until she married to Mr. Marsh and went to live with him in Ohio, taking with her Norman and Nora as arranged but neither found it convenient to adopt the new home and very soon returned to Indiana on their own, sought and found employment."
Ernest Omar Mowrer, grandson of Jamima Jackson and Samuel Craig McCartney, was administrator of Sophronia's estate in 1933.
From OBR, p 171: "Doctor Crihfield Robbins, seventh generation from William and Priscilla (Gowing) Robbins, (See History of the Robbins Family of Walpole Massachussetts, by Dana W. Robbins 1949, page 136n) was born on his father Stillman's farm ner Claypool, Indiana. He was a Carpenter and not a Physician, the name Doctor given him, he being the 7th son in his father's family. Dr. Crihfield of Warsaw, Indiana, the attending Physician at his birth suggested Crihfield" be added. After marriage he first lived in a plank house on the farm of his wife's father, Daniel Jackson, where they were married. Later removed to a frame house on Main Street, in Laud, Indiana. About 1876 he erected a six room house a block farther south and adjoining the Jacob Ihrig home on the north, and where he resided until death. This was a two story frame house, all the outside lumber being milled, by Mills near by, from one yellow poplar tree; enough lumber from that tree being left over to build another house like it. His was a fine Christian Character, he along with his wife Sophronia Doty were prominent members of the United Bretheren Church about 3/4 of a mile south of Laud. At the birth of his first child, a son, he gave up the use of tobacco because he believed it to be a bad habit to set before his son. (That son never used tobacco, while his own five sons did)
OBR, p 171, "Simon Peter Marsh, widower with three sons, Ellery, Gilbert and Harry and a daughter Etta, was a Teacher in the Ohio Schools many years was well educated and highly respected, and along with his wife Sophronia were devoted members of Hope Evangelical Church near Lakewood Cemetery which is one mile west of the Marsh home and on the edge of Barberton, Ohio. In this cemetery are both sleeping."

6132. Otto Lieu Foster-2070
Otto and Pearl had no children.
From OBR: James F. Snyder moved from Indiana to Summer County, Kansas in the spring of 1885. Moved from there to Frontier County, Nebraska in March, 1888; moved to Furnas County, Nebraska in the spring of 1897 where he lived until his death. Retiring from the farm, he moved to Holbrook [Furnas Co.] in 1917.
OBR: "He came with his parents to Oregon by ox team in 1845. He lost his left arm while feeding a "hand fed" threshing-machine when he was 18 years of age. He became a Minister and preached in the Walla Walla Valley, first in 1866. After his first wife died he had trouble caring for his four children. Bishop Castle suggested that he should marry again, mentioning El Nora Jackson as a possible bride. Father replied, "I suppose she is some old maid that no one else wants" but never-the-less, he wrote her a letter, then later went to Indiana to see her, and in due time returned to Washington with her as his bride. Written by El Nora's daughter, Florence."
3238. Roland Peerman Jackson-2029
OBR: "Well do I remember this fine gentleman, as well as his loving efficient wife Martha Rebecca in whose home I lived while working for Roland the summers of 1886 and 1888 and during my 14th and 15th years, for $5.00 and $12.00 per month, board and lodging.
"Roland operated a tile-mill (manufacturer of drain-tile), located on his father David Jackson's farm, two miles south of Laud, Indiana. (I never did know whether the farm belonged to Roland or his father David, but the Mill belonged to Roland and he operated the farm.)
"The residence then was a very good square two-story frame house with a glassed-in cupola on top. The cupola has been removed but the house still stands 1950 and is a good residence on a good productive farm.
"David and wife Rebecca lived there with Roland or vice-versa and David worked in the Mill on Mondays and Tuesdays of each week, helping to empty and fill the Kiln. David and I worked together on the yard. Other days we made tile and did the farming. Roland was not able to do much work of any kind. Three other men were employed; all were lodged and boarded and each morning before breaakfast all participated in Family Worship.
"Father David usually read from his Bible a verse or chapter or more of Scripture, then all knelt at his chair and one or more of our number offered prayer."
Inscription on tombstone: "I shall be satisfied when with Thy likeness I awake. Psalm 17:15. He died aged 39 years 5 months and 27 days.

Birth date calculated from age at death.
From Oscar Burton Robbins' book, pg 255, a portion of the bio:
Francis M. Kaufman was born about two miles southwest of Laud, Indiana, to Henry and Samantha (Bell) Kaufman.
Most of his school days were spent at the Maring school, one mile south of Laud. . .
The buying and selling of livestock dominated the life of "F.M." from the time he was eighteen years of age to the day of his death. On that day December 30, 1938, one of the last things he did was listen to the markets on the radio, and this was something akin to miraculous. For quite a number of months, he had been unable to hear conversation over the radio unless he sat right next to it. On this day, however, he was sitting across the room when my brother asked him, "Do you want me to relay the markets to you Dad?" To our astonishment Dad replied, "No, you needn't bother, I can hear them fine today." One of the last things he said was that he would like to live to see the return of Christ.

6154. Maria Electa Cochran-24230
Quote from pg 261 OBR: "Marie Electa Cochran came with her parents to Norton, Kansas Oct. 14, 1887. She united with the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1894. She graduated from the Norton County schools with high honors in 1899. Altho of an ambitious and earnest character, she laid aside her studies to take up the home duties on account of her invalid mother. . . . Funeral services at the home of her parents Thursday Dec. 4, 1902. Burial in Norton Cemetery."
Altho page 261 says she died 3 Dec 1905, the obituary says she was buried 4 Dec 1902 on a Thursday. Since 4 Dec 1905 is on a Monday, it is assumed that 1905 is a typo and d/o/d should be 3 Dec 1902 which is a Thursday. She died of typhoid fever.
