ROBBINS, 88, a pioneer resident of this county, died Thursday afternoon at three o'clock at his home on West 11th St., as the result of a stroke of paralysis which he suffered two weeks ago. Prior to that time, he had been in good health. Becoming a resident of this county in 1836, Mr. Robbins for years actively assisted in the early development of the city and county. He occupied several positions of trust and honor in the community, being elected trustee and county commissioner on the democratic ticket. He was a promoter of the present agricultural society and served four years as its first president. While in business here, he served one term as postmaster, receiving his commission from President Franklin Pierce. Cyrus H. Robbins was born in Adams County, Ohio, June 29th, 1828. He was brought by his parents to Indiana when he was but one year old. His father, Joseph ROBBINS, settled on a farm in Henry county, Indiana where they resided for seven years, and from there came to Fulton county. Joseph Robbins settled on what is known as the MANNING farm one mile East of Rochester. This farm the elder Robbins secured from the government in 1836, one year before Fulton county was organized. Joseph Robbins was a native of Ohio, born in 1794. He was of Scotch English descent, his parents being natives of Connecticut. Mary ROBBINS, his wife, was a native of Ohio of German Irish descent, born in 1799. Cyrus Robbins was the fifth of eight children. He spent his younger years on the farm. In 1849 he engaged in the general mercantile business with his brother at Rochester, and successfully carried on the business for a period of ten years. Mr. Robbins was married to Miss Sarah C. SMALL, who is living, January 4th, 1857. To this union nine children were born, Alfred D. [ROBBINS] and Charles E. [ROBBINS] of this city, William B. [ROBBINS] and Alvin LeRoy [ROBBINS] of Mishawaka, Indiana, Mrs. Marion MOORE of near Akron, Mrs. Albert MARTINDALE of Peru, and Mrs. Stephen PYLE and Mrs. Bert COLE who both reside near this city. The other daughter, Mrs. Marion FULTZ died one year ago. After selling out the mercantile business he moved on a farm 2-1/2 miles southwest of this city where he lived for 45 years. Retiring from the farm, he moved to this city a little over 10 years ago to spend the rest of his life. He was a member of the Methodist church. Funeral at the home, Sunday afternoon at two o'clock, Rev. A. S. WARRINER in charge. SOURCE: Fulton County Indiana Obituaries - 1917 by Jean C. and Wendell C. Tombaugh
