History - Robert Sweeten, the fifth and last child born to Margaret Sweeten and Abraham Hunsaker, was born on 12 October 1862 at
Brigham City, in the Big House. A few hours after his birth, Robert's mother died from complications resulting from childbirth.

Robert was raised by Harriet Beckstead Hunsaker, the second wife of Abraham. She was very good to him, sometimes even better to him than to her own children. Robert loved her very much and always appreciated what she had done for him.

At the age of 14, Robert spent one winter in the hills of Montana getting out lumber. At the age of 15 he was sent by his father to work on the Logan Temple and worked there for two years. He donated his time and labor to the Church.

Robert married Minnie May Wheatley on 9 April 1885 in the Temple he had helped build. They lived in Honeyville until 1909 when they moved to Malad, Idaho, where Robert was field man for the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company, as he had been while living in Honeyville.

He was very active in the Church and served as president of the Elders Quorum in Malad Stake. He also served the Church in other capacities, such as ward teacher, in all the wards in which he lived. In 1925, Robert moved to Logan, Utah, in order to be able to do Temple work, which he did nearly every day for the rest of his life.
