Bef 1910 | Oscar played the violin, and his brother Christopher played the guitar at dances on Saturday nights in Westfield before he was married.

Grandma preferred to stick with the horses but Grandpa overruled. Ina didn't know what kind it was or what it looked like since she was very young at the time and this was a story she heard from her father. [Ina wasn't born until 1913] S14, 14 Sept:
Oscar and Grace
Married - Hamilton County, Indiana -
S1, S2, S3,
S4, S5, S23, S38,
S49, Oscar and Grace began their married life on
14 September 1910 in Hamilton County, Indiana. Their wedding was a
double wedding with Grace's sister Sarah and Robert E. Ross getting
married on the same day. Although no records have been found to support
it I would venture a guess and say that the marriages probably took
place in the home of the George Foulke Farm on present day 236th street
about 5 miles west of Cicero. The union of Oscar and Grace lasted until
Feb 1959 at the death of Oscar and Sarah was widowed in Aug 1964. |

Oscar
Occupations - : Woodcutter: His family had been farmers but they also were wood cutters. They would cut trees, Cut up the logs and split it into firewood which they would sell for income. "His family was poor - they cut wood and sold it to make money" S16, Bridge Builder: In his youth Oscar also worked for a man that built
bridges. He was a large man and very strong so he was able to carry the
large timbers used in the construction of the bridges. He also manned

Oscar
Occupation - Farmer:
S5, S7, S9,
S10, S11,
Foremost, Oscar was a farmer. He rented and farmed numerous farms during his lifetime. He was a hard worker and farming in his day was a labor-intensive pursuit. He would work from before daylight until dark on most days. He did not, however, work on Sundays as was the custom at the time Ina said that Grandpa [ID0014] raised Poland China hogs and White Rock chickens that he took to the Indiana State Fair and won several ribbons for them - This was also confirmed by Walter. He kept these ribbons in the family Bible. Ina didn't know what ever happened to the Bible and neither did dad [ID0005]. He won mostly blue ribbons but also had some red ones as well. There is a picture showing Ina and Grandpa in the barn lot with some of the hogs. S14, I5, Pony/ western horses: Grandpa got some "western" horses according to Ina and Walter. They were mainly used for pulling farm machinery and other work around the farm. They were a feisty lot, but one in particular was very mean and was not able to be used as a work horse. It would rear up in its stall and try to smash Grandpa if he went into its stall to attempt to saddle it. They also had a pony for the kids to ride. Mary would try to ride it and it would lay down and not go anywhere. Mary would stand there and cry. Walter said he rode it probably the most. Ina rode it quite a bit as well. Myron did not ride the pony much, preferring another horse. The pony had been loaned to them and the owner took it back after a year to raffle it off. S15, I6, Farming in his time was a dangerous undertaking. He told of being gored in the leg by a boar hog leaving a large gash in his upper leg. It bled a great deal but he merely bandaged the wound instead of having it attended to by a doctor. S16,

|
Oscar, Religion: According to Walter Oscar never attended church - S16, | |
Grace Avocations:
Piano: Grace was a piano player and her piano was moved from farm to
farm as the family moved. Oscar complained that the piano, an upright
unit, was so heavy and hard to handle – he got tired of moving it.
S25, Church: Grace was quite a "church goer" according to Walter. She would go every chance she got but her attendance slacked off after she was married - Oscar did not attend church. S25, N3, After Moving to Mechanicsburg she attended the Middletown Methodist Church S29, Club: She was a member of the Eaton War Mother’s group. There is a plaque to the right side of her headstone showing her membership. S29, I11, |
|
Grace Education: She did some substitute teaching, according to Walter, but did nothing further in that line after getting married in 1910. S25, N2, A school book belonging to Grace - S33, |
|
Grace Life Experience: According to Walter, a great deal of Grace's life was unhappy and she experienced depression. S25, | |
Grace
Occupations: Farm wife: She was involved with the care of the six children and the house as well as being in charge of all the meals. It was reported that she also raised as many as 500 chickens. This supplied the family with meat - The eggs that were produced were taken to town and traded for groceries. The family ate duck eggs because they didn’t sell. S25, Cooking was done with a wood cook stove. The fire box for the wood was small so the firewood had to be specially split and cut to fit the stove. It took a lot of wood to keep the fire hot for the burners and the oven. This chore kept the men busy supplying wood for the meals besides that needed for the heating stoves. S25, I can remember the wood cook stove being in the kitchen of the farmhouse of the County Road 1270N farm. Grandma would always fix a big breakfast that included biscuits and gravy. She would turn the crank on her flour sifter in the Hoosier Cabinet and soon the wonderful smell of breakfast would be going throughout the house |

My Grandfather, Oscar Clifton Robbins was born on the 9th of
February 1876 in Hamilton County, Indiana near the small
town of Westfield. He was the son of farmers and was one of
four children, 3 sons and one daughter. Probably in the
1890's or so he and his older brother Christopher Columbus
played at barn dances in Westfield. Oscar played his violin
and Christopher his guitar.
I can remember as a youth being at my grandparents home on
the weekends. Aunt Esther would come home and stay at the
farm on the weekends and I really enjoyed visiting with her.
Her bedroom was upstairs and there was also an attic type
space off that room. I can remember her getting this case
out of the attic and showing the violin to me. I well
imagine that she told me about the guitar and what
the significance was to Grandpa, but I cannot really
remember anything beyond seeing it.
Later in life I conducted several interviews with my father
about his life experiences. During one of these talks he
spoke about Grandpa and Christopher playing in Westfield.
I asked if Grandpa had played for the family and Dad said
that he had never heard his dad play the violin. He had
only heard the stories from his dad and a little from his
uncle Christopher. There was a piano in the home but music
did not seem to be an important part of the family life
according to my father. Dad
did not know how Grandpa learned to play or if he played at
other events besides the dances. My father ventured the
opinion that Grandpa probably didn't have time to play after
his marriage in 1910 because he was too busy working and
providing for his growing family.
After my Grandfather passed away in Feb 1959, the violin and
the guitar found their way into the possession of Oscar's
son, Myron Foulke Robbins, Sr., and he kept them on display
at his home for many years. After his passing both
instruments were passed down to Myron's daughter where they
remain to this day.
