WHITELAND – The family of Jacob St. John, of Stott’s Creek, long since dead, consisting of the father; mother; Mrs. Crawford a daughter; Joshua a son; a son-in-law, Wm. Robe, murdered during the war; and others, together with Rev. John Robe, who were [all] buried at Shiloh, near Banta, have all been removed to the Franklin cemetery and permanently interred there.
The Franklin Republican, Friday, November 4, 1887, page 1, column 6
Rev. John Robe died at his residence on the Three Notch Road, in the north part of this county, on last Sabbath, Oct 30th. Two weeks previous, as he was returning from church, he received a fall. Mr. Robe being an aged gentleman, this injury proved fatal. The funeral services were held on Monday at Mount Auburn M.E. church, and the remains were buried in the Shiloh cemetery, near Waverly.
Mr. Robe was born in Ireland, October, 1803. Two years afterward his parents, Andrew and Mary Robe, came to this country and settled in Cumberland county, Pennsylvania. At the age of ten his mother died, and he was apprenticed to a blacksmith and worked at that trade for a time. On account of his father’s failing health the son, John, returned to the farm. In 1834 they came to Indiana and the next year his father died. In 1835 Mr. Robe was married to Miss Catharine Messersmith and settled on the little farm where he resided until his death, Mrs. Robe, his wife, having died in April, 1877.
Mr. Robe was of Presbyterian parentage, of “the straightest sect.” When quite young he became a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and he oftentimes in his life related his peculiar Christian experience. While yet young he was licensed as a local preacher. His labors were attended with marked success and he filled several appointments as supply. He was ordained deacon in 1844 and elder in 1855.
Mr. Robe was a brother to William Robe, of Morgan county, who was assassinated at the time of the late war. He had accumulated some property which he disposed of by will, with Ira T. Gregg and John W. Robe as Executors. One-third he bequeathed to the Ministers Aid Society of the S. E. Indiana M. E. conference; one-third to foreign missions, and one-third to relatives. Thus another pioneer, who was full of energy and integrity has passed away.
The Franklin Democrat, Friday, June 21, 1889, page 3, column 2
The late John Robe, of White River township, by his will left three-fourths of his estate to the East Indiana M.E. conference and in pursuance of the will Clerk Fitzgibbon paid over to the treasurer of that body $2,946.50 on Monday. The money is to be used for the benefit of broken down ministers.
