Daughter of Thomas Monroe Sr and Edna May (Behanna) Alger, who were married 7 Jul 1914 in Donora, Washington County, Pennsylvania. Both were widowed by their previous spouses, each with 4 children when they came together. Throughout their marriage 3 of Thomas' and 2 of Edna's previously born children would die young. However, the couple persevered and had 5 children of their own.

Notes:

1) Robbie's Obituary appeared in The Valley Independent on 2 Dec 2002. It lists her husband as Jonas "Babe" Zimmerman and their children as: Amy (Larry) Boyd, Darrold (Jan) Zimmerman, Jill (William) Leach and Edna Rodabaugh. It also correctly names both her parents, as well as the following siblings: Edna "Dolly" (Bev) Acheson, Tom (Josie) Alger, Ella Wyvratt, Frances Gembrosky, Bart Connelly and Marie Connelly.

2) Both Robbie and her husband, Jonas, are mentioned as parents of Amy J. Boyd (wife of Larry C. Boyd) in Amy's Feb 2014 Obituary in The Valley Independent. This obituary also lists Amy's siblings as Darrold (Jan) Zimmerman and Edna Rodabaugh; Larry and Amy's children as Laurie Jo (David) Cramer and Shannon (Jeff) Skobel, and their grandchildren as Jonas Cramer, Noah Cramer, Boyd Skobel and Rainey Skobel. I can only assume that these are the names of Jonas and Robbie's other children, grand children and great grand children.

Though I can not prove with 100% certainty that this family's composition and relation status is as I display it to be, I can say that the circumstantial evidence weighs very heavily in favor of the accuracy of these stated familial connections.
