He died of cholera on 30 May 1894 at his home in Frontenac, Crawford County, Kansas. Robert was the son of William Mawson (1817-1880) and Elizabeth "Bessie" (Stephenson) Mawson (1819-1900).They both died in Lanaconing, Allegany, Maryland and are buried in Old Coney Cemetery. Robert came from a family of coal miners. He is listed on the 1861 census of Durham, England but is living in Pittston, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania on the 1870 census. He married about 1865 in England, as his children Elizabeth and William were both born in England in 1866 and 1869. He then had son Thomas born in Pennsylvania in 1871, and daughter Mary H. born 1876 in Lanaconing, Allegany County, Maryland. The family was still living at this location on the 1880 census, although Robert was widowed by this time. Being a coal miner, he was probably following the coal mines and relocating as new areas became available to mine. Crawford County, Kansas was rich with coal camps and this is where we find Robert at the time of his death in 1894. Robert was married April 1861 in Auckland St. Andrew, Durham, England to Jane Dobbin, who was deceased by the 1880 census and not listed for 1870. He later married in Weir City, Cherokee County, Kansas on 22 May 1886. The name given on the marriage record was Sarah Keppel. An article announcing their marriage in the Trades-Union newspaper on 5 June 1886 lists her as Mrs. Nancy Kapple. It reads: "Married. - In Weir City, May 22, by G.D. Samms, Esq., Mr. Robt. Mawson and Mrs. Nancy Kapple. May the union be a happy one." The Girard Press, 7 Jun 1894, Thu, Page 3 has the following: Died. Mawson - At Frontenac, May 30th, 1894, of cholera morbus, Robert Mawson, aged 52 years. The Pittsburg Daily Headlight, 31 May 1894, Thu, Page 4: Robert Mawson, of Frontenac, died yesterday afternoon about half-past four o'clock from an attack of cholera morbus. He was only ill a few hours and during that time everything possible was done to save his life. The deceased is a brother of Thos. Mawson of this city and was about 52 years of age. The funeral took place this afternoon and the remains were interred in Mt. Olive cemetery.
