Robert and his parents arrived in Ashland, Kansas, on 24 December 1884. There his father became the town's postmaster. Robert attended public schools in Ashland and later attended a business college in Kansas City, Missouri. During World War I, Robert served as an assessor and commander of the home guard during the war and also sold government bonds.
After college, Robert started farming and ranching in the Ashland area, but a horse fell with him resulting in permanent injuries. These injuries forced a change of occupation. Although he kept the farms, in 1905 he erected a business building in Ashland and there he opened a men's clothing store. For the next 16 years, it was a very successful business for Robert. At that time, he retired and spent the rest of his life looking after his farms.
