Robert Woodburn
Robert Woodburn was the first born of Samuel and Sarah Connor Woodburn, 29 September, 1857. He died 28 October 1926, both events occurring in Princeton, Gibson, Indiana.
The following is an article from the Princeton Clarion the day after Robert’s death:
Robert Woodburn, 67, [sic] well known farmer of Gibson county, residing at 319 east State street, this city, died very suddenly shortly before noon Tuesday at his farm five miles east of the city, near the Patoka-Center township line. Robert was actually 69 years old.
Mr. Woodburn and his wife made their usual trip to the farm Tuesday morning and while Mrs. Woodburn was working on some steps at the front of their farm house, which has just been built since the tornado of March 1925, his wife noticed a peculiar look on his face. She immediately made inquiry of the trouble. Mr. Woodburn’s reply being that he felt sick. Mr. Woodburn was assisted into the house immediately by Mrs. Woodburn, and just as they entered Mr. Woodburn died.
An inquest was held by Coroner K..S. Strickland, and death was found to be paralysis of the heart. Mr. Woodburn had been in failing health for some time, but had been in his usual health here lately.
Funeral services will be held Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock at the home, 319east State street, conducted by the Rev. J.P. Nesbit of the United Presbyterian church. Internment in the I.O.O.F. cemetery.
Mr. Woodburn is survived by the widow, Belle Makemson Woodburn and six children, three sons and three daughters. Monroe residing on the traction line south of Mitchell crossing; Alvin at home; Frank of Evansville; Miss Ethel at home; Mrs. Omar Murphy residing southeast of the city, and Mrs. Russel McCafferty, Of Akron, O.; two sisters and two brothers, Miss Mary Woodburn and Mrs. Nellie Terry, in north Main street; William Woodburn, living west of Patoka, and Harry Woodburn living three miles east of Princeton. A number of grandchildren also survive.
The following is a funeral notice printed in the Clarion a few days later:
