BK 426 The year 1919 marks the seventieth anniversary of the residence of the Robinett family in Steuben County. As a family they have been distinctive not only for their long residence but by very unusual ability and other substantial qualities. They have been large land owners, have built up several extensive tracts from wilderness conditions and many of them are still tillers of the soil and recognized as splendid citizens of their community. The first generation to settle here were Samual BK 413 and Julia McDonald BK 414 Robinett. The former was born in 1802 and died May 3, 1893. The latter was born in 1800 and died September 9, 1888. When they came to Richland Township in 1849 they acquired 233 acres of land, and there lived the rest of their lives as farmers. Joseph Robinett was born on the old homestead of his father March 14, 1863, and as a boy attended the local public schools. In 1894 he bought his present farm of 110 acres in Richland Township. He still lives there and has done much to improve it with good buildings. He now rents out his land and is practically retired. In politics Mr. Robinett is a Democrat. January 1, 1887, he married Miss. Etta E. Brunner BK 400 of Troy Township, DeKalb County. She died in1901, the mother of three children.

In 1901, March 21, Etta died of complications from childbirth. Her little son preceded her in death, March 8. Joe was left with two little daughters and Jake.

From page 12 again In 1903 Mr. Robinett married Miss Sarah Somerlot BK 440 . They have a daughter, Sevilla Irene BK 441 , who graduated from the eight grade in 1919. Mr. Robinett has been a member of the Liberal United Brethren Church since he was twenty years of age and has been a trustee of the church for over ten years and was treasurer when the new church was built in Troy Township of DeKalb County. His first wife was a member of the same church and joined it when a little girl. Their daughter Mary was the youngest child ever formally admitted as member of the church, being only nine years old at the time. The present Mrs. Robinett is also a member of this church. From page 9 and 10 of the Gould Book In1925, he and Sarah moved to Edon, Ohio, where he was a custodian at the school for a number of years. He rented the farm out to Aunt Ethel and Uncle Galon, they were there until the late 1920 s. Then he rented the farm to Kenneth Noragon. And shortlyafter he sold the farm to Elson Buell. Kenneth remained on the farm for three to six months, then Elson moved there with part of his family, and left Edgar, Mr. Pop Buell , with his new wife, Mattie Lorene, at the old Buell homestead. When Forrest Buellmarried in the 40 s he told his father, Elson, You moved to let Edgar have the other house, now move and let me have this one! This is how Forrest got Elson s house. Sarah Hattie, died in Edon in 1930. In 1933, Joe married Melissa nee Shaffer Allmong Hissong She is Florence Eyster s mother s sister.
