Al, I have found an obituary for James Johnson Robinett:
The Nevada Daily Mail, Feb. 13, 1894--James Robinett, of near Montevallo, is dangerously sick. One side of his body is paralyzed. He is about 70 years of age.
The Nevada Daily Mail, March 6, 1894--Burglary At Montevallo, Death of James Robinett and Mrs. W. H. Smith--Talk of Business Changes. Correspondence of the Man. Montevallo, March 5, --James Robinett, an aged citizen died at his home about 3 miles west of this place this morning at 5 o'clock.
I have yet to find his grave or that of his daughter Eliza Jane Robinett-Logsdon and her husband Richard Edward Logsdon. I have their obituaries as well.
Nevada Daily Mail Newspaper Index 1885-R. E. LOGSDON of Virgil secured position, supt. of county poor farm.
1887 THE HISTORY OF VERNON COUNTY, MO
RICHARD E. LOGSDON (Farmer and Overseer of Poor Farm, Section 18, Post-office, Walker)-The family of which the subject of this sketch is a representative are of English origin, one of the ancestors having been Joseph Logsdon, and during the administration of Lord Baltimore some of is descendants came to America, and subsequently took part in the early colonial wars and the Revolutionary War. After this the family became scattered, many of its members settling in the Southern States, while one located at an early day in Kentucky. The majority of them adhered to the religious belief of the Calverts. That branch to which Richard E. belongs always resided in Maryland, and for the most part were engaged in agricultural pursuits. His grandfather, Edward Logsdon, a shoemaker and saddler by occupation, was a soldier in the War of 1812. His parents, Joseph and Margaret (White) Logsdon, were both natives of Maryland, where they reared their family of four children, Richard being the youngest. The father is still living in Johnson county, Mo, but the mother died in 1865, the year of the family's arrival in Missouri. Mr. Logsdon during his lifetime has held numerous positions of honor and trust. Richard E., the only son in the family of his parents, was born in what is now Garrett county, Md., December 1, 1849, and very naturally grew up with a knowledge of farm life, his father having always given his attention to that industry. His education was such as the common schools afforded, and when some sixteen years of age, or in 1865, he came with to Missouri, but in 1866, left home and went to Illinois, where he was engaged in working upon a farm for about three years. After returning to Missouri, and farming the home place two years, Mr. Logsdon was married to Miss Eliza J. Robinett, January 12, 1870, her birth having occurred in Allegheny county, Md., July 23, 1849. By this union there have been seven children: Elizabeth O., Joseph A., James E., Amy A., David C., Dora M. and an infant now deceased. The same year of his marriage Mr. L. came to this county, locating in Montevallo township, and since that time, save for a three years residence in Johnson county, he has been located in this county, occupied actively in farming and stock-raising. He owns eighty acres of land in Virgil township. In the spring of 1885, he was appointed overseer of the county poor farm and has acted as such to the material benefit of the county, for during his supervision, the expenses of the farm have been lessened quite considerably, and he is proving himself a worthy and efficient manager. The prospects for the future are brighter than ever before and the institution now bids fair to become self-sustaining, Mr. L. is a Democrat in political belief. He belongs to the I. O. O. F.
The Nevada Noticer 2/12/1891--Deputy Sheriff Logsdon arrested Thos. Hickman at Carbon Center Monday, upon advice from H. P. Goodell sheriff of Laclede county, where he is wanted for robbery committed in 1882. Hickman is also thought to be implicated in a murder in north Missouri, and bears a very bad reputation in general. Hick will probably be sent to Jefferson.
Nevada The Daily Mail, Sat., July 10, 1897-DICK LOGSDON'S DEATH BY DROWNING, The sad event occurred in the Indian territory last night. Chief of Police Lee Carver this morning received a telegram from City Marshall Frank McCartney of Nowata, I. T., announcing the death there last night by drowning of R. E., better known as Dick, Logsdon, well known to all citizens of Vernon county. The telegram gave no particulars of the occurrence, and simply asked the family be informed and that proper disposition of the body be directed. Chief Carver immediately communicated with Al Brockman who is a son-in-law of the deceased, and on Mr. Brockman's orders telegraphed Marshal McCartney to ship the body to Nevada. The remains are expected tonight and will be buried tomorrow beside those of his wife, in the graveyard near Virgil City. Mr. Logsdon is an old resident of Vernon county, having lived here all his life until the past year or two. He was deputy sheriff under Sheriff A. G. White in 1889. He was back on a visit at the time of the last fair. He leaves five children, Mrs. Al Brockman, Miss Amy, living with Mrs. Brockman, and three sons, one each in Kansas City, St. Louis and Springfield. Note: Sons, James and Joseph (twins), David Clinton Logsdon. Daughters, Ora Elizabeth Brockman, Amy Ann Cain, Dorothy M. Logsdon-Harries-Titus.
The Nevada Noticer, Nov. 6, 1890--Mrs. R. E. Logsdon, was suddenly stricken with a stroke of paralysis at 6:30 o'clock Tuesday morning. She was getting breakfast at the time. Her entire right side was affected all the way from her head to her feet, along the line running perpendicularly over the right eye. She has regained the partial use of her right limb, but her arm and the side of her face are still affected.
The Nevada Daily Mail, Dec. 2, 1892--Mrs. Richard Logsdon died at one o'clock Friday after a long and painful illness, aged 43 years. She leaves a husband and six children, one of whom, Joe is now in Texas. The burial will not take place till Sunday in order to have him present. The deceased was stricken with paralysis two years ago, since which time she has been perfectly helpless. The bereaved family have the sympathy of all.
James' other daughter Dorcas (Anna) married William B. Pilcher 11/10/1875 and she is buried in Montevallo Cemetery b.4/7/1847 d. 8/20/1878. No children found.
