[S30] [S31] - Originally 183 acres (43 acres sold to Milton) - 63 acres in Delaware County) - (79 acres in Blackford County) - - |
| 1950s | There were 5 farms in
Delaware/ Blackford Counties tied to the Robbins Family: - Google Custom Map | Robbins Family Farms Map | - CR1270N_Farm of Oscar & Grace Robbins - 110 Acre Farm of Walter & Norma Robbins - Cole_Farm of Oscar & Grace Robbins - Milton_Farm belonging to Milton & Ellen Robbins - Paul & Mary Farm belonging to Paul & Mary Robbins Jarrell These farms all touched one another. From the East to the West were the 110-acre Farm of Walter and Norma Robbins family. Next was the CR1270N Farm of Oscar and Grace Robbins which was mostly in Delaware County, but a part of it was across the line in Blackford County. Both these properties were on CR1270N. To the South of the CR1270N farm was the Milton Farm. To the south of the 110-acre farm was the Cole Farm. The Paul & Mary Farm was located to the north west of the CR1270N farm and was entirely in Blackford County, just across the line. |
| [002] CR1270N Farm - |
|
Location: - Union Township, Delaware County, Indiana and Licking Township, Blackford County, Indiana - North side of CR1270N, east of CR225W - Coordinates: 40°22'31.21”N 85°25'43.08”W (Google Map Coordinates: 40.37547393600116, -85.42865765201508 ) - Google Custom Map | Robbins Family Farms Map | - Property Layout and House Floor Plan: Doc0611.pdf - 1952 Plat Book, page 43 - Delaware County Plat Book, 1957 |
| This farm was about
180 acres in size and had originally been on both sides of CR
1270N. Shortly after moving to this farm Oscar and Grace sold
about 40 acres on the south side of the road to son Milton. He
built a house, barn and other structures and raised his family there
(See Milton Farm). The portion of the
farm on the north side of the road extended north beyond the
boundary between Delaware and Blackford County and the north side of
the land faced W. Mohee Rd. in Blackford County. I remember there was an old steel windmill sitting on top of a hill near Mohee Rd. which supplied water for the cattle which grazed there. These windmills had a pump attached which pumped water from the well underneath into the water tank. There was a mechanism that would allow the tank to get full and would stop the pump action once it was full. The kids would walk through the woods and go fishing in the creek on the east side of the property. Later they created Lake Mohee which was fed by Fiddler Ditch. I remember going to this farm often and playing in the big barn in the hay mow There were always lots of pigeons around the barns. I would help with the hay baling and my cousin Art and I would get the job of being up in the hay mow as the men fed the bales of hay up the elevator from the wagons. Our job was to move the bales to the back of the mow and stack them. This job was done in July and August when it was the hottest and when the temperature was 85 or so outside it would be over 100 in the the hay mow. What a miserable, hot and dirty job. The men were able to feed more bales of hay up the elevator than Art and I could handle and we soon would be overwhelmed and have to tell them to stop for a while so we could catch up. So they took a break while we worked to clean up the accumulated bales of hay. I4, I also remember there was a horse trough just behind the house near the smaller barn which had these huge goldfish which kept the tank clean. It was a round wooden tank with a faucet that would automatically fill the tank when the water level would lower as the cattle drank the water. The amazing thing about these fish was that the tank would freeze in the winter with the fish encased in the ice but next spring when the ice melted the fish would come back to life. The grandkids would come to visit Grandma and Grandpa and would want to play with the piano. Grandpa got fed up with it and nailed the lid shut with a big nail I7, |

| Description of Farm:
(Feb 1921) Consisting of good productive corn land; largely black soil and improved with a good 9 room frame house, with slate roof; good cellar; good driven well, with water pumped to house and barn; fine cistern; good hip roof barn, 36x40; double crib, 16x28; a new blue grass and three acres in timber; well drained and fairly well fenced. [S32] |
| Dad stated that they lived at
this farm for a long time and that Myron had graduated from Cadiz
High School. Grandpa owned this farm, he had a mortgage on it. The
farm consisted of 80 acres. They had 15 or 20 head of milk cows, had
horses and Poland China Hogs - these were his dad's pride and joy.
He kept 5 or 6 Poland China sows all the time and only raised this
breed of hogs. His mother always kept 500 hens and traded the eggs
she got to the grocery store for groceries for the family and then
the store would sell the eggs. They also sold the cream from the
milk cows and fed the milk, other than what they used themselves, to
the hogs. After the house burned his dad built a new house on this farm. They were living at the Scott farm while he was building this new house. The new house consisted of an old house that he had bought, cut in two and hauled to the Cadiz farm. Once there he put it back together and did the refinishing, and adding porches, etc. Later, after they had left this farm this house that he had built burned and it was said that the next one on the farm after that burned as well. Dad does not think they ever moved back to this farm after leaving when the house burned. He did state the farm was located on a corner. [Page 9] Dad thinks his dad lost this farm in 1929 or so. They couldn't afford to even pay the interest on the mortgage because it was during the depression. Source: Interview with Walter C. Robbins, Sr., ID0005, 22 Sept 2005] Doc0551.pdf |
| - Dad – Attended 2nd, 3rd,
maybe 4th grade - Myron graduated 1930 - Stayed with a friend after the family moved to Cicero so he could graduate from Cadiz - House burned about March 1920 - Grandpa owned this farm but let it go back after the house burned because he couldn’t afford the payments because of the depression Source: Interview With Walter C. Robbins, Sr., ID0005, 20 Sept 2005 Doc0879.pdf |

- Dad stated that he went to Cadiz School 3 or 4 years - probably the 2nd through 4th grade. [Probably more like 2nd through 6th grades.] School Year was from Sept after Labor Day to the last of April. If they happened to start before Labor Day they could be excused to go to the State Fair.

| Chicken Coop: - Abt 1 March 1923 - This farm had a 32-volt DC electricity. When the house burned they let us live in the chicken house which was about a mile from Scott's farm - Not bad after it was remodeled. Source: Interview with Walter C. Robbins, Sr., ID0005, 29 Sept 2005 Doc0740.pdf |
| Scott's Farm was about ½
mile west of Cadiz farm in Henry County - the house had a porch
built out front - it was a 2-story house Source: Interview with Walter C. Robbins, Sr., ID0005, 29 Sept 2005 Doc0740.pdf |
| - They moved to this farm after
the house at the Cadiz Farm burned. Mrs. Scott had been married to a
man that was a house mover but he had died and she needed someone to
run her farm. The Oscar Robbins family moved in with her and Oscar
ran the farm. This caused some problems because Grace, Oscar's wife,
was jealous and afraid that Oscar would have an affair with Mrs.
Scott. They only lived at this farm for about a year and probably
moved to the Shirley farm from here. This was an 80 acre farm.
[Interview 22 Sept 2005 Source: Interview with Walter C. Robbins, Sr., ID0005, 22 Sept 2005 Doc0551.pdf |
| Oscar was also busy building a
new house to replace the burned one on the Cadiz farm. This is the
farm where the eagle landed on the fence and stayed a long time.

| Oscar and Grace rented this
farm from a banker. They moved here dad thinks when he was about 9
[had to be earlier if he started the first grade here]. The banker
paid the bills for Oscar to build the silo on the farm They had
hired someone to do the concrete work. Walter filled the holed with
concrete and Myron helped in some way as well. The silo was about 20
or 30 feet in diameter and about 20 or 30 feet tall. This farm was located about 2 or 3 miles from Shirley back east from Shirley and there was a railroad - the farm was next to the railroad. The farm was off of highway 234 about 2 miles south. Highway 234 goes north of Shirley to Kennard then north then east to New Castle. Paul Jarrell ID0053 told dad that if you take the Mechanicsburg Road south you would run into this farm. - Dad stated he started school - the 1st grade at Shirley School and that Myron and Ina went to Kennard H. S. because Shirley only had 6 grades. [Interview with Walter C. Robbins, Sr., 20 Sept 2005] Dad thinks he was 7 when he started school - This was a one room school, with one teacher and a pot-bellied stove in the center of the room - the water and outhouse was behind the school. They took a bus to Shirley and then Ina and Myron took another bus to Kennard. From what I can piece together now it appears that Dad was 6 when he started to school. Source: Interview with Walter C.

Page 3, 5, 6, -. Dad stated that the house burned in probably 1922 or 23 and that Esther wasn't even a year old yet [She was born 7 1920]. The fire started in the smoke house. A ham probably fell in the coals which spread the fire. The house was a total loss, they lost everything. Some men came from Cadiz but couldn't do anything. There was water but not enough to fight the fire - They didn't have any fire engines. Grandpa and Myron had gone to the elevator at Shirley to get seed oats - This was in March. Dad, Ina and Mary were playing in the front yard and smoke go so bad they moved to the side of the house. When it got bad there they went inside the house and told their mother. She opened the door to the smokehouse shed and there was the fire. Nobody was hurt. The newspaper stated that dad had died but what they were supposed to say was that his clothes burned up. Dad thinks this was either in the Cadiz or Noblesville newspaper [Probably New Castle Paper] |

Page 6. They moved to this farm after the house at the Cadiz Farm burned. Mrs Scott had been married to a man that was a house mover but he had died and she needed someone to run her farm. The Oscar Robbins family moved in with her and Oscar ran the farm. This caused some problems because Grace, Oscar's wife was jealous and aftaid that Oscar would have an affair with Mrs Scott. They only lived at this farm for about a year and probably moved to the Shirley farm from here. This was an 80 acre farm. Oscar was also busy building a new house to replaced the burned one on the Cadiz farm |

page 5, 8, 9 Oscar and Grace rented this farm from a banker. They moved here dad thinks when he was about 9 [had to be earlier if he started the first grade here]. The banker paid the bills for Oscar to build the silo on the farm They had hired someone to do the concrete work. Walter filled the holed with concrete and Myron helped in some way as well. The silo was aobut 20 or 30 feet in diameter and about 20 or 30 feet tall. This farm was located about 2 or 3 miles from Shirley back east from Shirley and there was a railroad - the farm was next to the railroad. The farm was off of highway 234 about 2 miles south. Highway 234 goes north of Shirley to Kennard then north then east to New Castle. Paul Jarrell ID0053 told dad that if you take the Mechanicsburg Road south you would run into this farm |

Dad stated that he attended the 2nd through 4th grades at Cadiz - She said he went ot Cadiz for 3 or 4 years then we moved. - I am only guessing that the Oscar Robbins family moved back to the Cadiz farm once Oscar was finished building the new house on the farm. I know the family was back in the Cadiz area because the kids went to school in Cadiz and Myron graduated from Cadiz in 1930 and dad claims he went to Cadiz schools starting in the 2nd grade and through at least the 4th or 5th grades |

Doc0880.pdf, Pages 1, 2,. "Oscar Robbins had wanted to farm the Foulke farm for Mary Underwood Foulke ID0078 but she felt that he was not good enough, because he came from the poor class. Instead, she allowed Rob Ross ID0085 to run the farm. Rob Ross was a big-time auctioneer in Hamilton County so Mary felt he was upper-class and thus worthy of running the farm. Rob Ross ran the farm into the ground and forced (according to Mary) Mary to sign several notes against the farm. After signing several of these notes Mary was in trouble. Her son Arthur ID0086 stepped in and took the farm from Rob Ross but it was almost too late. This was during the depression and things were bad for everyone. Arthur forced Rob to move off the farm and he got Oscar Robbins to move there to run the farm. This move took place in about March of 1930 when the Robbins family moved from their Cadiz farm which they had lost because they could not make the payments or even the interest on the mortgage on the farm. Oscar and family moved here and the children began to attend Cicero School. The Foulke family farm was located west of Cicero [see the map in multimedia] and consisted of about 102 acres in 1930. They farmed the farm until about March of 1934 when things got really bad and Arthur could do nothing further to help his mother and she lost the farm. Arthur committed suicide over this and probably other things as well, but mostly the farm. While the Oscar Robbins family was running the farm they lived in the big house which was a 2-story house with about 8 rooms or so and she moved down to the smaller 4-room tenant house which was about 1/8 of a mile from the main house." |

"This is the first farm that the Oscar Robbins family bought after losing the Cadiz farm in 1930. This farm consisted of many acres. Walter was unsure about the exact amount but estimated anywhere from 105 to 202 acres. They farmed this until just after Walter left for the army. Oscar probably moved from this farm in the summer of 1943 because he could no longer take care of the farm since Walter was not there to help him. Oscar traded this farm for the Cole farm so he ended up getting the Cole farm free and clear. Esther ID 0198 and Milton ID0043 both attended Green Twp school while they were living here.
