• Notes

  Robert worked for most of his life at the trade of shipbuilding and farmed the family homestead farm, raising chickens and cantaloupes across the Nanticoke from Seaford. He was one of the solid substantial citizens of Sussex County. His wife Julia held him all night to keep him warm, and he died there in their house in her arms.
