FAMILY HISTORY:
WRITTEN BY SANDY (PETERS) Relph AS TOLD TO HER BY HER GRANDMOTHER AMY (NASH) DAVIS 1954--Near my great grandma's farm the robber Diamond Dick was killed. One of the robbers was a young man. He called on Great Grandma Nash's sister. She said he was very handsome and he was really a gentleman. When her mother found out she asked him to never see her again & he just left. The above was written by my sister in 1954, when she was 13 years old and in the 7th grade. Since then I have heard my mother, Norma (Davis) Peters talk about her great aunt Minerva seeing one of the Dalton boys. The Daltons tried to rob a bank in Coffeeville, Kansas.
Written by Amy Nash Davis in the 1950's-When they opened the Strip in Oklahoma, Samuel Robinson's son Will Robinson made the run. The farm was occupied by Sam & Nancy Robinson and family. Mary Robinson married Brazelton and lived on the farm. Their son Everett still lives on the farm in Blackwell, OK.

In Oklahoma, the Posts held annual three-day encampments at various locations around the state. Their purpose was to promote patriotism in the observances of Memorial Day (formerly called Decoration Day) and Flag Day. The GAR members formed brass bands and performed marching skills in various public parades and events. Three Objectives of GAR Objectives of the GAR were therefold: Fraternity among Union veterans; Charity for needy veterans, widows, and orphans of veterans; and Loyalty to the United States and its Constitution.

DEPT. OF VETERANS' AFFAIRS SPRINGFIELD, ILL ADJUTANT GENERAL'S REPORT HISTORY OF ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTH INFANTRY--The rivalry created under the call for soldiers in July, 1862, influenced the people of Logan county to endeavor to make up a complete Regiment from the county, notwithstanding four full companies had before been enlisted in the county and that their depleted ranks had been filled by recruits from the same. Within thirty days from July 15th., eight companies were enlisted from the county when Company A, from Sangamon county and Company K, from Menard county made the Regiment complete. The regiment went into camp at Lincoln, August 15, and was mustered into the United States service September 18th. It was drilled for a time by Lieutenant Colonel Adams. Formerly of the Regular Army. Moved from camp November 7th. via St. Louis, to Columbus, Ky., arriving November 10th. and moved thence to Jackson, Tenn. The Regiment was broken into detachments and detailed as provost guards in Jackson and also as a guard up and down the track of the M. & O. R. R. for some twenty or thirty miles on either side of Jackson. Lieutenant colonel Campbell was detailed as provost marshal of Jackson. On Dec. 6th., occurred the first death in the Regiment, E. Rankin of Company C, died on that day. While at Jackson, Captain P. W. Harts was placed under arrest for refusing to guard rebel prisoners at the residence of their rebel friends instead of at the guard house. His company was soon afterward relieved from provost duty and with Company I, sent to O'Bion river bridge on the M. & O. R. R. Company G and part of Company C were sent eight miles north of Jackson to Carroll station. On December 17th. Jackson was attacked by General Forrest, and Companies C and G surrendered without resistance on the morning of December 20th. The prisoners paroled by General Forrest were sent to Benton Barracks, and were exchanged late in the summer of 1863. The balance of the Regiment was ordered to Bolivar in March and about May 31st. it moved to Vicksburg.

CIVIL WAR PENSION RECORDS CO. "C", 106 ILLINOIS INFANTRY--Samuel M. Robinson has a little white stone next to his tombstone which states he was in Co. "K", 55th. Illinois Infantry but all his Civil War records and sworn statements show he was in Co. "C", 106 Illinois Infantry. The following is an abstract of that information. Samuel M. Robinson (Robertson) was a private in Co. "C", 106th. Regiment Illinois Infantry. He was mustered in at Lincoln, Logan Co., Illinois on August 2, 1862 at the age of 18 yrs. bSamuel was taken prisoner at Carrol Station on the Mobile & Ohio R.R. on December 19, 1862. He was paroled at Spring Creek, Tenn on Dec. 19, 1862 and reported at Benton Barracks in Missouri. Other papers say he was paroled prisoner at Benton Barracks, Missouri dated Aug, 31, 1863. Samuel states he was taken prisoner in 1863 by General Forest Command at Jackson, Tenn. He states that he was paroled at Benton Barracks in St. Louis, Missouri in the spring of 1863. Samuel also states that he acquired chronic diarrhea in the spring of 1864 at Pine Bluff, Arkansas. This is another statement from Samuel (he was trying to get a pension). Samuel was 58 years old and living in Blackwell, Kay Co., Oklahoma Territory. "I first discovered the varicose vains in the spring of 1864, had the mumps in January 1862 at Nashville, Tennessee which affected urinary organs. I discovered that I was ruptured on both sides in the spring of 1863, but do not know the cause. I lost sight of my right eye about fifteen years ago, but it has never affected ever since I was discharged from the Army." Statement by Samuel when he was 58 yrs. old. "I suffered by exposure while in the service and was taken prisoner at or near Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Wading water, eating stale bread and sour bread. Statement from Sarah A. Moran, age 46, living in Eureka, Greenwood Co., Kansas. "I knew claimant in Adams County, Illinois from Oct. 1865 to the spring of 1866 and in Linn County, Kansas from the spring of 1867 to about 1884 and in Greenwood County, Kansas from the last named dated until about three years ago at which time he went to Blackwell, Okalahoma Territory where he now resides. Written on the 16 May 1896 and Sarah state she is the sister of Samuel's wife Nancy. I feel Sarah is married to Jesse W. Moran, Nancy's brother which would make Sarah her sister-in-law.
OFFICER'S OR COMRADE'S AFFIDAVIT--Asahel Walker, aged 61 yrs., a resident of Burnifs Corners County of Allegan, and State of Mich. I was a Corporal in Co. "C", 106, Ill Inft Vols., and know that the said soldier while in the line of his duty at, or near Benton Barracks in the State of Missouri did, on or about the spring of 1863, become disabled in the following manner: While held a paroled prisoner at Benton Barracks near St. Louis, Missouri in the spring of 1863, he had a severe spell of sickness of which he never fully recovered from. He always complained of his head and right ear. Complained that he could not hear good out of said ear. We was ordered back to Regt. last of Sept. 1863. The last of July 1864, the Regt. was ordered from Brownsville, Ark. to Pine Bluff it commenced to rain shortly after we went there and for nearly six weeks it rained. Through exposure and poor rations comrade Robinson contracted chronic diarrhea. We had nothing for shelter but pup tents. The Regt. had over 700 men and only had 97 men reported able for duty at that time, and they could only be in camp one night out of four. They would go out on picket one morning at 8 o'clock and come off next morning at 8 and go on at 3 o'clock same day and stay out 48 hours. The record of the Regt. will show this to be fare, and was during this time the comrade Robinson contracted chronic diarrhea.
GENERAL AFFIDAVIT TERRITORY OF OKLAHOMA COUNTY OF KAY 30 NOVEMBER 1904--John S. Allison, aged 60, a resident of Blackwell in the County of Kay and Territory of Oklahoma. He and Samuel M. Robinson grew up boys in the same neighborhood, that he and the said Samuel M. Robinson were both in the same regiment in the War of the Rebellion, that when muster out of the service, they both returned to Springfield, Ill and from there to their homes in Lincoln, Logan Co., Ill., and lived in the same neighborhood for several years. After this time both moved to Kansas and lived about thirty five miles from each other and resided there about twenty five years, then he moved to Oklahoma during the year 1893, and I visited him twice from the year 1893 to 1900 when I moved to Blackwell, Oklahoma, about four miles from his residence and I saw him frequently until his death. During the time as above stated, I visited the said Samuel M. Robinson frequently and during this time I know of him being unable to work to any great extent. He was complaining all the time, looked badly, and from my personal knowledge, I ----- that he was unfit for more and was troubled with different diseases.
PHYSICIAN'S AFFIDAVIT BLACKWELL, KAY CO., OKLAHOMA TERRITORY
DEC. 1897 C. G. ELLIOTT M. D.--That he is a Practicing Physician, and that he has been acquainted with said soldier for about 4 years and that said soldier is badly affected with varicose veins of both legs, heart trouble and rheumatism and diseased condition of the eyes. His heart trouble is the natural effect of inflammatory rheumatism contracted while in the army and recurring frequently every since. His legs are in a very serious condition and would necessarily prevent him from doing very much manual labor. His right eye is entirely blind, caused by cataract and has been in that condition for several years and his left eye is beginning to trouble him and it is only a question of a very short time until it will go the same way. He is troubled with inflammatory rheumatism every few months and has muscular rheumatism all the time, thereby causing him much suffering and confining him to the house most of the time. His condition is very bad. He came here with nothing and took up a claim and has tried very hard in his old age to make him a home but he is unable to work much and the good wife has had to make most of the living and if the government requires him to pay for his home he will either have to mortgage it or sell for what he can get and leave it. In my judgment as a physician I would say that he is fully three fourths disabled from any kind of manual labor.
KAY CO., OKLAHOMA TERRITORY 27 SEPT 1904 HOMAS R. STILLGALL M. D.--He attended Samuel M. Robinson in last illness and he died of congestion of lungs and heart as a result of an old trouble that has existed for sometime. He further states that he treated Samuel M. Robinson two years prior to his death and up to time of his death on or about April 18, his last illness lasted from April 5th. 1904 to time of death April 18 or 19, 1904. Immediate cause of death was consolidation of lungs with effusion & blood, or in other words congestion of the lungs, then being too week to throw off congestion.

FAMILY HISTORY:
WRITTEN BY SANDY (PETERS) Relph AS TOLD TO HER BY HER GRANDMOTHER AMY (NASH) DAVIS 1954--Near my great grandma's farm the robber Diamond Dick was killed. One of the robbers was a young man. He called on Great Grandma Nash's sister. She said he was very handsome and he was really a gentleman. When her mother found out she asked him to never see her again & he just left. The above was written by my sister in 1954, when she was 13 years old and in the 7th grade. Since then I have heard my mother, Norma (Davis) Peters talk about her great aunt Minerva seeing one of the Dalton boys. The Daltons tried to rob a bank in Coffeeville, Kansas.
Written by Amy Nash Davis in the 1950's-When they opened the Strip in Oklahoma, Samuel Robinson's son Will Robinson made the run. The farm was occupied by Sam & Nancy Robinson and family. Mary Robinson married Brazelton and lived on the farm. Their son Everett still lives on the farm in Blackwell, OK.

DEPT. OF VETERANS' AFFAIRS SPRINGFIELD, ILL ADJUTANT GENERAL'S REPORT HISTORY OF ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTH INFANTRY--The rivalry created under the call for soldiers in July, 1862, influenced the people of Logan county to endeavor to make up a complete Regiment from the county, notwithstanding four full companies had before been enlisted in the county and that their depleted ranks had been filled by recruits from the same. Within thirty days from July 15th., eight companies were enlisted from the county when Company A, from Sangamon county and Company K, from Menard county made the Regiment complete. The regiment went into camp at Lincoln, August 15, and was mustered into the United States service September 18th. It was drilled for a time by Lieutenant Colonel Adams. Formerly of the Regular Army. Moved from camp November 7th. via St. Louis, to Columbus, Ky., arriving November 10th. and moved thence to Jackson, Tenn. The Regiment was broken into detachments and detailed as provost guards in Jackson and also as a guard up and down the track of the M. & O. R. R. for some twenty or thirty miles on either side of Jackson. Lieutenant colonel Campbell was detailed as provost marshal of Jackson. On Dec. 6th., occurred the first death in the Regiment, E. Rankin of Company C, died on that day. While at Jackson, Captain P. W. Harts was placed under arrest for refusing to guard rebel prisoners at the residence of their rebel friends instead of at the guard house. His company was soon afterward relieved from provost duty and with Company I, sent to O'Bion river bridge on the M. & O. R. R. Company G and part of Company C were sent eight miles north of Jackson to Carroll station. On December 17th. Jackson was attacked by General Forrest, and Companies C and G surrendered without resistance on the morning of December 20th. The prisoners paroled by General Forrest were sent to Benton Barracks, and were exchanged late in the summer of 1863. The balance of the Regiment was ordered to Bolivar in March and about May 31st. it moved to Vicksburg.

CIVIL WAR PENSION RECORDS CO. "C", 106 ILLINOIS INFANTRY--Samuel M. Robinson has a little white stone next to his tombstone which states he was in Co. "K", 55th. Illinois Infantry but all his Civil War records and sworn statements show he was in Co. "C", 106 Illinois Infantry. The following is an abstract of that information. Samuel M. Robinson (Robertson) was a private in Co. "C", 106th. Regiment Illinois Infantry. He was mustered in at Lincoln, Logan Co., Illinois on August 2, 1862 at the age of 18 yrs. bSamuel was taken prisoner at Carrol Station on the Mobile & Ohio R.R. on December 19, 1862. He was paroled at Spring Creek, Tenn on Dec. 19, 1862 and reported at Benton Barracks in Missouri. Other papers say he was paroled prisoner at Benton Barracks, Missouri dated Aug, 31, 1863. Samuel states he was taken prisoner in 1863 by General Forest Command at Jackson, Tenn. He states that he was paroled at Benton Barracks in St. Louis, Missouri in the spring of 1863. Samuel also states that he acquired chronic diarrhea in the spring of 1864 at Pine Bluff, Arkansas. This is another statement from Samuel (he was trying to get a pension). Samuel was 58 years old and living in Blackwell, Kay Co., Oklahoma Territory. "I first discovered the varicose vains in the spring of 1864, had the mumps in January 1862 at Nashville, Tennessee which affected urinary organs. I discovered that I was ruptured on both sides in the spring of 1863, but do not know the cause. I lost sight of my right eye about fifteen years ago, but it has never affected ever since I was discharged from the Army." Statement by Samuel when he was 58 yrs. old. "I suffered by exposure while in the service and was taken prisoner at or near Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Wading water, eating stale bread and sour bread. Statement from Sarah A. Moran, age 46, living in Eureka, Greenwood Co., Kansas. "I knew claimant in Adams County, Illinois from Oct. 1865 to the spring of 1866 and in Linn County, Kansas from the spring of 1867 to about 1884 and in Greenwood County, Kansas from the last named dated until about three years ago at which time he went to Blackwell, Okalahoma Territory where he now resides. Written on the 16 May 1896 and Sarah state she is the sister of Samuel's wife Nancy. I feel Sarah is married to Jesse W. Moran, Nancy's brother which would make Sarah her sister-in-law.
OFFICER'S OR COMRADE'S AFFIDAVIT--Asahel Walker, aged 61 yrs., a resident of Burnifs Corners County of Allegan, and State of Mich. I was a Corporal in Co. "C", 106, Ill Inft Vols., and know that the said soldier while in the line of his duty at, or near Benton Barracks in the State of Missouri did, on or about the spring of 1863, become disabled in the following manner: While held a paroled prisoner at Benton Barracks near St. Louis, Missouri in the spring of 1863, he had a severe spell of sickness of which he never fully recovered from. He always complained of his head and right ear. Complained that he could not hear good out of said ear. We was ordered back to Regt. last of Sept. 1863. The last of July 1864, the Regt. was ordered from Brownsville, Ark. to Pine Bluff it commenced to rain shortly after we went there and for nearly six weeks it rained. Through exposure and poor rations comrade Robinson contracted chronic diarrhea. We had nothing for shelter but pup tents. The Regt. had over 700 men and only had 97 men reported able for duty at that time, and they could only be in camp one night out of four. They would go out on picket one morning at 8 o'clock and come off next morning at 8 and go on at 3 o'clock same day and stay out 48 hours. The record of the Regt. will show this to be fare, and was during this time the comrade Robinson contracted chronic diarrhea.
GENERAL AFFIDAVIT TERRITORY OF OKLAHOMA COUNTY OF KAY 30 NOVEMBER 1904--John S. Allison, aged 60, a resident of Blackwell in the County of Kay and Territory of Oklahoma. He and Samuel M. Robinson grew up boys in the same neighborhood, that he and the said Samuel M. Robinson were both in the same regiment in the War of the Rebellion, that when muster out of the service, they both returned to Springfield, Ill and from there to their homes in Lincoln, Logan Co., Ill., and lived in the same neighborhood for several years. After this time both moved to Kansas and lived about thirty five miles from each other and resided there about twenty five years, then he moved to Oklahoma during the year 1893, and I visited him twice from the year 1893 to 1900 when I moved to Blackwell, Oklahoma, about four miles from his residence and I saw him frequently until his death. During the time as above stated, I visited the said Samuel M. Robinson frequently and during this time I know of him being unable to work to any great extent. He was complaining all the time, looked badly, and from my personal knowledge, I ----- that he was unfit for more and was troubled with different diseases.
PHYSICIAN'S AFFIDAVIT BLACKWELL, KAY CO., OKLAHOMA TERRITORY
DEC. 1897 C. G. ELLIOTT M. D.--That he is a Practicing Physician, and that he has been acquainted with said soldier for about 4 years and that said soldier is badly affected with varicose veins of both legs, heart trouble and rheumatism and diseased condition of the eyes. His heart trouble is the natural effect of inflammatory rheumatism contracted while in the army and recurring frequently every since. His legs are in a very serious condition and would necessarily prevent him from doing very much manual labor. His right eye is entirely blind, caused by cataract and has been in that condition for several years and his left eye is beginning to trouble him and it is only a question of a very short time until it will go the same way. He is troubled with inflammatory rheumatism every few months and has muscular rheumatism all the time, thereby causing him much suffering and confining him to the house most of the time. His condition is very bad. He came here with nothing and took up a claim and has tried very hard in his old age to make him a home but he is unable to work much and the good wife has had to make most of the living and if the government requires him to pay for his home he will either have to mortgage it or sell for what he can get and leave it. In my judgment as a physician I would say that he is fully three fourths disabled from any kind of manual labor.
KAY CO., OKLAHOMA TERRITORY 27 SEPT 1904 HOMAS R. STILLGALL M. D.--He attended Samuel M. Robinson in last illness and he died of congestion of lungs and heart as a result of an old trouble that has existed for sometime. He further states that he treated Samuel M. Robinson two years prior to his death and up to time of his death on or about April 18, his last illness lasted from April 5th. 1904 to time of death April 18 or 19, 1904. Immediate cause of death was consolidation of lungs with effusion & blood, or in other words congestion of the lungs, then being too week to throw off congestion.

FAMILY HISTORY:
WRITTEN BY SANDY (PETERS) Relph AS TOLD TO HER BY HER GRANDMOTHER AMY (NASH) DAVIS 1954--Near my great grandma's farm the robber Diamond Dick was killed. One of the robbers was a young man. He called on Great Grandma Nash's sister. She said he was very handsome and he was really a gentleman. When her mother found out she asked him to never see her again & he just left. The above was written by my sister in 1954, when she was 13 years old and in the 7th grade. Since then I have heard my mother, Norma (Davis) Peters talk about her great aunt Minerva seeing one of the Dalton boys. The Daltons tried to rob a bank in Coffeeville, Kansas.
Written by Amy Nash Davis in the 1950's-When they opened the Strip in Oklahoma, Samuel Robinson's son Will Robinson made the run. The farm was occupied by Sam & Nancy Robinson and family. Mary Robinson married Brazelton and lived on the farm. Their son Everett still lives on the farm in Blackwell, OK.

DEPT. OF VETERANS' AFFAIRS SPRINGFIELD, ILL ADJUTANT GENERAL'S REPORT HISTORY OF ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTH INFANTRY--The rivalry created under the call for soldiers in July, 1862, influenced the people of Logan county to endeavor to make up a complete Regiment from the county, notwithstanding four full companies had before been enlisted in the county and that their depleted ranks had been filled by recruits from the same. Within thirty days from July 15th., eight companies were enlisted from the county when Company A, from Sangamon county and Company K, from Menard county made the Regiment complete. The regiment went into camp at Lincoln, August 15, and was mustered into the United States service September 18th. It was drilled for a time by Lieutenant Colonel Adams. Formerly of the Regular Army. Moved from camp November 7th. via St. Louis, to Columbus, Ky., arriving November 10th. and moved thence to Jackson, Tenn. The Regiment was broken into detachments and detailed as provost guards in Jackson and also as a guard up and down the track of the M. & O. R. R. for some twenty or thirty miles on either side of Jackson. Lieutenant colonel Campbell was detailed as provost marshal of Jackson. On Dec. 6th., occurred the first death in the Regiment, E. Rankin of Company C, died on that day. While at Jackson, Captain P. W. Harts was placed under arrest for refusing to guard rebel prisoners at the residence of their rebel friends instead of at the guard house. His company was soon afterward relieved from provost duty and with Company I, sent to O'Bion river bridge on the M. & O. R. R. Company G and part of Company C were sent eight miles north of Jackson to Carroll station. On December 17th. Jackson was attacked by General Forrest, and Companies C and G surrendered without resistance on the morning of December 20th. The prisoners paroled by General Forrest were sent to Benton Barracks, and were exchanged late in the summer of 1863. The balance of the Regiment was ordered to Bolivar in March and about May 31st. it moved to Vicksburg.

CIVIL WAR PENSION RECORDS CO. "C", 106 ILLINOIS INFANTRY--Samuel M. Robinson has a little white stone next to his tombstone which states he was in Co. "K", 55th. Illinois Infantry but all his Civil War records and sworn statements show he was in Co. "C", 106 Illinois Infantry. The following is an abstract of that information. Samuel M. Robinson (Robertson) was a private in Co. "C", 106th. Regiment Illinois Infantry. He was mustered in at Lincoln, Logan Co., Illinois on August 2, 1862 at the age of 18 yrs. bSamuel was taken prisoner at Carrol Station on the Mobile & Ohio R.R. on December 19, 1862. He was paroled at Spring Creek, Tenn on Dec. 19, 1862 and reported at Benton Barracks in Missouri. Other papers say he was paroled prisoner at Benton Barracks, Missouri dated Aug, 31, 1863. Samuel states he was taken prisoner in 1863 by General Forest Command at Jackson, Tenn. He states that he was paroled at Benton Barracks in St. Louis, Missouri in the spring of 1863. Samuel also states that he acquired chronic diarrhea in the spring of 1864 at Pine Bluff, Arkansas. This is another statement from Samuel (he was trying to get a pension). Samuel was 58 years old and living in Blackwell, Kay Co., Oklahoma Territory. "I first discovered the varicose vains in the spring of 1864, had the mumps in January 1862 at Nashville, Tennessee which affected urinary organs. I discovered that I was ruptured on both sides in the spring of 1863, but do not know the cause. I lost sight of my right eye about fifteen years ago, but it has never affected ever since I was discharged from the Army." Statement by Samuel when he was 58 yrs. old. "I suffered by exposure while in the service and was taken prisoner at or near Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Wading water, eating stale bread and sour bread. Statement from Sarah A. Moran, age 46, living in Eureka, Greenwood Co., Kansas. "I knew claimant in Adams County, Illinois from Oct. 1865 to the spring of 1866 and in Linn County, Kansas from the spring of 1867 to about 1884 and in Greenwood County, Kansas from the last named dated until about three years ago at which time he went to Blackwell, Okalahoma Territory where he now resides. Written on the 16 May 1896 and Sarah state she is the sister of Samuel's wife Nancy. I feel Sarah is married to Jesse W. Moran, Nancy's brother which would make Sarah her sister-in-law.
OFFICER'S OR COMRADE'S AFFIDAVIT--Asahel Walker, aged 61 yrs., a resident of Burnifs Corners County of Allegan, and State of Mich. I was a Corporal in Co. "C", 106, Ill Inft Vols., and know that the said soldier while in the line of his duty at, or near Benton Barracks in the State of Missouri did, on or about the spring of 1863, become disabled in the following manner: While held a paroled prisoner at Benton Barracks near St. Louis, Missouri in the spring of 1863, he had a severe spell of sickness of which he never fully recovered from. He always complained of his head and right ear. Complained that he could not hear good out of said ear. We was ordered back to Regt. last of Sept. 1863. The last of July 1864, the Regt. was ordered from Brownsville, Ark. to Pine Bluff it commenced to rain shortly after we went there and for nearly six weeks it rained. Through exposure and poor rations comrade Robinson contracted chronic diarrhea. We had nothing for shelter but pup tents. The Regt. had over 700 men and only had 97 men reported able for duty at that time, and they could only be in camp one night out of four. They would go out on picket one morning at 8 o'clock and come off next morning at 8 and go on at 3 o'clock same day and stay out 48 hours. The record of the Regt. will show this to be fare, and was during this time the comrade Robinson contracted chronic diarrhea.
GENERAL AFFIDAVIT TERRITORY OF OKLAHOMA COUNTY OF KAY 30 NOVEMBER 1904--John S. Allison, aged 60, a resident of Blackwell in the County of Kay and Territory of Oklahoma. He and Samuel M. Robinson grew up boys in the same neighborhood, that he and the said Samuel M. Robinson were both in the same regiment in the War of the Rebellion, that when muster out of the service, they both returned to Springfield, Ill and from there to their homes in Lincoln, Logan Co., Ill., and lived in the same neighborhood for several years. After this time both moved to Kansas and lived about thirty five miles from each other and resided there about twenty five years, then he moved to Oklahoma during the year 1893, and I visited him twice from the year 1893 to 1900 when I moved to Blackwell, Oklahoma, about four miles from his residence and I saw him frequently until his death. During the time as above stated, I visited the said Samuel M. Robinson frequently and during this time I know of him being unable to work to any great extent. He was complaining all the time, looked badly, and from my personal knowledge, I ----- that he was unfit for more and was troubled with different diseases.
PHYSICIAN'S AFFIDAVIT BLACKWELL, KAY CO., OKLAHOMA TERRITORY
DEC. 1897 C. G. ELLIOTT M. D.--That he is a Practicing Physician, and that he has been acquainted with said soldier for about 4 years and that said soldier is badly affected with varicose veins of both legs, heart trouble and rheumatism and diseased condition of the eyes. His heart trouble is the natural effect of inflammatory rheumatism contracted while in the army and recurring frequently every since. His legs are in a very serious condition and would necessarily prevent him from doing very much manual labor. His right eye is entirely blind, caused by cataract and has been in that condition for several years and his left eye is beginning to trouble him and it is only a question of a very short time until it will go the same way. He is troubled with inflammatory rheumatism every few months and has muscular rheumatism all the time, thereby causing him much suffering and confining him to the house most of the time. His condition is very bad. He came here with nothing and took up a claim and has tried very hard in his old age to make him a home but he is unable to work much and the good wife has had to make most of the living and if the government requires him to pay for his home he will either have to mortgage it or sell for what he can get and leave it. In my judgment as a physician I would say that he is fully three fourths disabled from any kind of manual labor.
KAY CO., OKLAHOMA TERRITORY 27 SEPT 1904 HOMAS R. STILLGALL M. D.--He attended Samuel M. Robinson in last illness and he died of congestion of lungs and heart as a result of an old trouble that has existed for sometime. He further states that he treated Samuel M. Robinson two years prior to his death and up to time of his death on or about April 18, his last illness lasted from April 5th. 1904 to time of death April 18 or 19, 1904. Immediate cause of death was consolidation of lungs with effusion & blood, or in other words congestion of the lungs, then being too week to throw off congestion.

FAMILY HISTORY:
WRITTEN BY SANDY (PETERS) Relph AS TOLD TO HER BY HER GRANDMOTHER AMY (NASH) DAVIS 1954--Near my great grandma's farm the robber Diamond Dick was killed. One of the robbers was a young man. He called on Great Grandma Nash's sister. She said he was very handsome and he was really a gentleman. When her mother found out she asked him to never see her again & he just left. The above was written by my sister in 1954, when she was 13 years old and in the 7th grade. Since then I have heard my mother, Norma (Davis) Peters talk about her great aunt Minerva seeing one of the Dalton boys. The Daltons tried to rob a bank in Coffeeville, Kansas.
Written by Amy Nash Davis in the 1950's-When they opened the Strip in Oklahoma, Samuel Robinson's son Will Robinson made the run. The farm was occupied by Sam & Nancy Robinson and family. Mary Robinson married Brazelton and lived on the farm. Their son Everett still lives on the farm in Blackwell, OK.
GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC:
The Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) was a social and service organization composed of Union veterans of the Civil War. In Oklahoma, the Posts held annual three-day encampments at various locations around the state. Their purpose was to promote patriotism in the observances of Memorial Day (formerly called Decoration Day) and Flag Day. The GAR members formed brass bands and performed marching skills in various public parades and events. Three Objectives of GAR Objectives of the GAR were therefold: Fraternity among Union veterans; Charity for needy veterans, widows, and orphans of veterans; and Loyalty to the United States and its Constitution. Organization of the GAR was patterned along the lines of their former military services. They had Commanders, Senior and Junior Vice-Commanders, Chaplains, Medical Directors, and Quartermasters.

DEPT. OF VETERANS' AFFAIRS SPRINGFIELD, ILL ADJUTANT GENERAL'S REPORT HISTORY OF ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTH INFANTRY--The rivalry created under the call for soldiers in July, 1862, influenced the people of Logan county to endeavor to make up a complete Regiment from the county, notwithstanding four full companies had before been enlisted in the county and that their depleted ranks had been filled by recruits from the same. Within thirty days from July 15th., eight companies were enlisted from the county when Company A, from Sangamon county and Company K, from Menard county made the Regiment complete. The regiment went into camp at Lincoln, August 15, and was mustered into the United States service September 18th. It was drilled for a time by Lieutenant Colonel Adams. Formerly of the Regular Army. Moved from camp November 7th. via St. Louis, to Columbus, Ky., arriving November 10th. and moved thence to Jackson, Tenn. The Regiment was broken into detachments and detailed as provost guards in Jackson and also as a guard up and down the track of the M. & O. R. R. for some twenty or thirty miles on either side of Jackson. Lieutenant colonel Campbell was detailed as provost marshal of Jackson. On Dec. 6th., occurred the first death in the Regiment, E. Rankin of Company C, died on that day. While at Jackson, Captain P. W. Harts was placed under arrest for refusing to guard rebel prisoners at the residence of their rebel friends instead of at the guard house. His company was soon afterward relieved from provost duty and with Company I, sent to O'Bion river bridge on the M. & O. R. R. Company G and part of Company C were sent eight miles north of Jackson to Carroll station. On December 17th. Jackson was attacked by General Forrest, and Companies C and G surrendered without resistance on the morning of December 20th. The prisoners paroled by General Forrest were sent to Benton Barracks, and were exchanged late in the summer of 1863. The balance of the Regiment was ordered to Bolivar in March and about May 31st. it moved to Vicksburg.

CIVIL WAR PENSION RECORDS CO. "C", 106 ILLINOIS INFANTRY--Samuel M. Robinson has a little white stone next to his tombstone which states he was in Co. "K", 55th. Illinois Infantry but all his Civil War records and sworn statements show he was in Co. "C", 106 Illinois Infantry. The following is an abstract of that information. Samuel M. Robinson (Robertson) was a private in Co. "C", 106th. Regiment Illinois Infantry. He was mustered in at Lincoln, Logan Co., Illinois on August 2, 1862 at the age of 18 yrs. bSamuel was taken prisoner at Carrol Station on the Mobile & Ohio R.R. on December 19, 1862. He was paroled at Spring Creek, Tenn on Dec. 19, 1862 and reported at Benton Barracks in Missouri. Other papers say he was paroled prisoner at Benton Barracks, Missouri dated Aug, 31, 1863. Samuel states he was taken prisoner in 1863 by General Forest Command at Jackson, Tenn. He states that he was paroled at Benton Barracks in St. Louis, Missouri in the spring of 1863. Samuel also states that he acquired chronic diarrhea in the spring of 1864 at Pine Bluff, Arkansas. This is another statement from Samuel (he was trying to get a pension). Samuel was 58 years old and living in Blackwell, Kay Co., Oklahoma Territory. "I first discovered the varicose vains in the spring of 1864, had the mumps in January 1862 at Nashville, Tennessee which affected urinary organs. I discovered that I was ruptured on both sides in the spring of 1863, but do not know the cause. I lost sight of my right eye about fifteen years ago, but it has never affected ever since I was discharged from the Army." Statement by Samuel when he was 58 yrs. old. "I suffered by exposure while in the service and was taken prisoner at or near Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Wading water, eating stale bread and sour bread. Statement from Sarah A. Moran, age 46, living in Eureka, Greenwood Co., Kansas. "I knew claimant in Adams County, Illinois from Oct. 1865 to the spring of 1866 and in Linn County, Kansas from the spring of 1867 to about 1884 and in Greenwood County, Kansas from the last named dated until about three years ago at which time he went to Blackwell, Okalahoma Territory where he now resides. Written on the 16 May 1896 and Sarah state she is the sister of Samuel's wife Nancy. I feel Sarah is married to Jesse W. Moran, Nancy's brother which would make Sarah her sister-in-law.
OFFICER'S OR COMRADE'S AFFIDAVIT--Asahel Walker, aged 61 yrs., a resident of Burnifs Corners County of Allegan, and State of Mich. I was a Corporal in Co. "C", 106, Ill Inft Vols., and know that the said soldier while in the line of his duty at, or near Benton Barracks in the State of Missouri did, on or about the spring of 1863, become disabled in the following manner: While held a paroled prisoner at Benton Barracks near St. Louis, Missouri in the spring of 1863, he had a severe spell of sickness of which he never fully recovered from. He always complained of his head and right ear. Complained that he could not hear good out of said ear. We was ordered back to Regt. last of Sept. 1863. The last of July 1864, the Regt. was ordered from Brownsville, Ark. to Pine Bluff it commenced to rain shortly after we went there and for nearly six weeks it rained. Through exposure and poor rations comrade Robinson contracted chronic diarrhea. We had nothing for shelter but pup tents. The Regt. had over 700 men and only had 97 men reported able for duty at that time, and they could only be in camp one night out of four. They would go out on picket one morning at 8 o'clock and come off next morning at 8 and go on at 3 o'clock same day and stay out 48 hours. The record of the Regt. will show this to be fare, and was during this time the comrade Robinson contracted chronic diarrhea.
GENERAL AFFIDAVIT TERRITORY OF OKLAHOMA COUNTY OF KAY 30 NOVEMBER 1904--John S. Allison, aged 60, a resident of Blackwell in the County of Kay and Territory of Oklahoma. He and Samuel M. Robinson grew up boys in the same neighborhood, that he and the said Samuel M. Robinson were both in the same regiment in the War of the Rebellion, that when muster out of the service, they both returned to Springfield, Ill and from there to their homes in Lincoln, Logan Co., Ill., and lived in the same neighborhood for several years. After this time both moved to Kansas and lived about thirty five miles from each other and resided there about twenty five years, then he moved to Oklahoma during the year 1893, and I visited him twice from the year 1893 to 1900 when I moved to Blackwell, Oklahoma, about four miles from his residence and I saw him frequently until his death. During the time as above stated, I visited the said Samuel M. Robinson frequently and during this time I know of him being unable to work to any great extent. He was complaining all the time, looked badly, and from my personal knowledge, I ----- that he was unfit for more and was troubled with different diseases.
PHYSICIAN'S AFFIDAVIT BLACKWELL, KAY CO., OKLAHOMA TERRITORY
DEC. 1897 C. G. ELLIOTT M. D.--That he is a Practicing Physician, and that he has been acquainted with said soldier for about 4 years and that said soldier is badly affected with varicose veins of both legs, heart trouble and rheumatism and diseased condition of the eyes. His heart trouble is the natural effect of inflammatory rheumatism contracted while in the army and recurring frequently every since. His legs are in a very serious condition and would necessarily prevent him from doing very much manual labor. His right eye is entirely blind, caused by cataract and has been in that condition for several years and his left eye is beginning to trouble him and it is only a question of a very short time until it will go the same way. He is troubled with inflammatory rheumatism every few months and has muscular rheumatism all the time, thereby causing him much suffering and confining him to the house most of the time. His condition is very bad. He came here with nothing and took up a claim and has tried very hard in his old age to make him a home but he is unable to work much and the good wife has had to make most of the living and if the government requires him to pay for his home he will either have to mortgage it or sell for what he can get and leave it. In my judgment as a physician I would say that he is fully three fourths disabled from any kind of manual labor.
KAY CO., OKLAHOMA TERRITORY 27 SEPT 1904 HOMAS R. STILLGALL M. D.--He attended Samuel M. Robinson in last illness and he died of congestion of lungs and heart as a result of an old trouble that has existed for sometime. He further states that he treated Samuel M. Robinson two years prior to his death and up to time of his death on or about April 18, his last illness lasted from April 5th. 1904 to time of death April 18 or 19, 1904. Immediate cause of death was consolidation of lungs with effusion & blood, or in other words congestion of the lungs, then being too week to throw off congestion.

Possibly Joseph and Angeline (Robinson sister of Samuel) and Susannah Craven moved to Hancock Co (the one above Adams Co, IL) during the civil war and Susannah was able to visit with her relatives in the area as well and the Morans and Walkers and that is somehow how Samuel got acquainted with Nancy.
