Birth & Death dates came from the diary Margaret Teresa Jane "Janie" (Davenport) Hice kept while her children were sick & dying in the summer & fall of 1893.

"Little Robert was 5-years old July 15th 1893 and was taken sick July 3rd and died Aug. 1st While he was sick we would tell him what we would do when he got well and he would say that he was never going to get well, he was going to die and go to heaven. Before he got sick he would tell his brother he was going to die and was going to heaven and wanted to know when he was coming to him, and while dying he said. "I am going home come and go with me." He would call all his brothers and sisters by name and said come and go with me I do not want to go by myself. His little sister who had always nursed him, he called her and me, many times."
