From Robison Families in Ohio:
Franklin Pierce Robison, the fourth child and youngest son of Edward and Arminda was born March 30, 1855 in Palmyra on the farm on the south side of the cemetery. After his father's death he as the chief prop of the farm and the contracting firm. After Jim died, John moved to Milton, and Jennie had married only to get divorced, Frank married Nora Estelle McGranahan on December 24, 1888. In 1892, largely at the urging of his mother, Arminda, then aged 75, he took a family group to homestead in North Dakota. The group included:
Frank Robison
Nora Robison, his wife
Earl Robison, son of Frank born 1900
Arminda Robison, aged 75
Jennie Robison Earl, sister of Frank
George Earl, Jennie's husband
Guy Robison, Jim's son
a hired man, name forgotten
They did not sell their Ohio farms, but rented them out. The trip was made by train - cows, horses, machinery, etc. The settlement was made near Valley City, Cass County, North Dakota. Frank built houses, fences and brok sode. Elva was born there. Nora hated it. She was seasick most of the time from the blowing wheat and grass. At the end of five years they claimed their deeds, sold the farms and returned to Ohio. George Earl ran off. Guy Robison declined to return. The hired man went elsewhere. Thus, the return group was Frank and Nora and their two children, plus Arminda and Jennie.
Upon being back in Ohio Arminda and Jennie went back to the old home where Edward had died. Frank built a new home - four bedrooms - two kitchens - dining room - parlor - porches. He also bought the old farm across the road where Jacob Cole ahd lived. In this new home Inez and Ruth were born. The old barn burned - Frank built a large, new one.
Frank worked away some at this time, but mostly farmed. He was farming over 240 acres using horses. Unlike most of his neighbors he harvested with slings. He bought a Reo Car from Ward Craig, but he could not master it. After a few wrecks he quit. Ruth, aged 12 had to drive - right hand drive, carbide lights, crank, etc.
When he was 65 he decided to retire to a small place. He sold his farms to his daughter and her husband, Elva and Don Bebb and bought a small 15 acres up the road. The buildings were put in first class shape. Here Frank and Nora lived until Nora's death in January of 1937. Nora went upstairs to put her hat away; opened the drawer and died of a heart attack.
After Nora's death Frank gave his home to Earl and moved to Elva's home. He died on July 29, 1939. He and Nora are buried in the Palmyra - West Cemetery.
There were four children, Earl, Eva Pauline, Inez Eloise and Ruth. Notes for each child transcribed into each individual's record. David Warren Robison, May, 2002.
