Dear Norma,
1895 State Census for Lakin Twp., Barton Co., Kansas, p. 11:
J. A. Robe, age 42, Male, b. W. V., came here from Iowa--Farmer
Louise Robe, age 36, Female, b. Iowa, came here from Iowa
Volia Robe, age 7, b. Kansas, came here from Kansas.
I believe Joseph A. Robe died between 1895 and 1900.In the 1900 Census for Lakin Township, Barton Co., KS, Enumeration Dist. #26, is John J. Closen or Closon, b. Dec 1870, married in May 1900, born in Germany as were his parents.His wife is Louisa Closen, b. Apr 1861 in Iowa, mother of 3 children, 2 living; her father was b. in MD and her mother in OH.Children are Liole M. Robe, female, b. Jan 1888, age 12, and Claven M. (not sure if M is the proper reading of the initial)Robe b. Jan 1896 age 4.Both these children were born in Iowa, father in W. Va., and mother in Iowa.These are children of Louisa by her first marriage.
In the 1910 Census I find Louisa with other Closen children but it does not look as if Viole/Liole and Claven are with her:
1910 Census, Canton Township, Kingman Co., Kansas, Series T624, Roll 443, page 65, SD 7, ED 79, sheet 7b, line 78, dwelling 91, family 91
Closen, Louisa M. Head F W 49 married 10 years mother of 7, 6 now living.b. Iowa, father b. Maryland, Mother b. Ohio Farmer farming
Closen, Charles C. Son M W 14 single b. Kansas, father b. Ohio, mother b. Iowa Farm Laborer Home Farm
Closen, John Son M W 9 single b. Kansas father b. Ohio, mother b. Iowa Farm Laborer Home Farm
Closen, William Son M W 7 single b. Kansas father b. Ohio mother b. Iowa
Closen, Leo Son M W 7 single b. Kansas father b. Ohio mother b. Iowa
Closen, Cathleen F W 6 single b. Kansas father b. Ohio mother b. Iowa
I do not what happened to Liole/Viole and Claven between 1900 and 1910.
Joseph A. Robe was a great-great grandson of William Robe of Monongalia County, Va.
