  • Notes 
    • According to Robert's niece, Coline Gillis Coburn (dau. of sister Della), Robert never married and was crippled from an accident when he was about 18 years old.  Coline used to talk with him; she remembers that he worked on a farm near Balaton, MN, and he liked to walk into town on Saturday nights.
