He grew up in Marengo, IA, where he became an Eagle Scout. He studied engineering at Iowa State in Ames, completed their ROTC program, and graduated in 1940.

Returning to his job at GE, Dick worked tirelessly until his retirement in 1983. Dick was active in Boy Scout Troop 11, and was an Elder and a Deacon at his church for many years.

756	Robert Robison, son of Matilda Amelia and Howard Sheridan Robison, was born April 24, 1898, on the family farm north of Scandia and died November 2, 1982, at the Belleview Manor, Belleville, Kansas at the age of 84 years, 6 months and 9 days. Bob received his education at Pleasant Valley, District 24. As a young man he was engaged in farming with his father and later worked for himself. During the early Forties he worked for the Missouri Pacific Railroad. He later joined a road construction crew and worked for Reece Construction Company from 1947 until his retirement in 1961. After retirement, he made his home in Scandia. Bob was a member of Masonic Lodge No. 221 and received his 35-year membership pin in April 1975.

758	Robert was the brother of our great-grandfather, John Calvin Strahorn. He was born east of Bellefonte in Haines Twp. Centre Co., Pennsylvania. He wrote later how as a boy, he was impressed by Abraham Lincoln at the Lincoln-Douglas debates in 1858. He was typesetter and then a newspaper correspondent for the Denver News and New York Times during the Sioux campaigns of 1876-77, and fought alongside General Crook as an embedded reporter while covering the Battle of Rosebud. He was hired by Jay Gould as the first head of the Publicity Department of the Union Pacific Railroad from 1877-1783, and wrote a number of books about the resources and attractions of the western states, which helped generate waves of migration into those territories, greatly benefiting the U.P. He was instrumental in building the Oregon Short Line Railroad from Granger, Wyoming to Huntington, Oregon and through his Idaho & Oregon Land Improvement Co. founded or substantially developed the towns of Shoshone, Hailey, Mountain Home, Caldwell, Ontario, Payette, and Weiser along the route of the O.S.L. He was a founder and trustee of the College of Idaho in Caldwell. He went broke in the panic of 1893, then spent six years trading municipal bonds in Boston. He went on to build the North Coast Railroad under a secret financial arrangement with E.H. Harriman, and built Union Station in Spokane (which was demolished in 1974 for the Spokane World's Fair) and almost 750 miles of track in Washington State. This clandestine arrangement earned Robert the moniker "The Sphinx" because he would never publicly acknowledge his funding source. The North Coast Railroad was consolidated into the Oregon Washington Railroad & Navigation Co. with Robert as Vice President and General Manager. He went on to develop several railroad expansion projects into eastern Oregon through his Oregon, California & Eastern Railroad. In the period leading up the 1929 stock market crash, Robert acquired a number of commercial properties in downtown San Francisco, but was forced to deed them back to his lenders to avoid to foreclosure and bankruptcy in the years that followed. He died in 1944 in San Francisco (not in Spokane as is claimed elsewhere) and his remains are interred in a granite and marble mausoleum in Spokane along with both of his wives. There were no children from either marriage. Upon his death in San Francisco in 1944, Robert's remains were taken by his friend Thurlow Bryant (who was mentioned on page 572 of Ninety Years of Boyhood, Strahorn's autobiography) to Spokane, and Robert's personal effects, including his steamer trunk, his personalized binoculars, numerous photos and papers, and the publishing rights to his autobiography, were taken by Thurlow to his home in Caldwell, Idaho. Thurlow's wife Nellie gave these items to us in 1995 because we were the only relatives who had ever inquired after him. Thurlow died in Caldwell in 1992, and Nellie in 2001. - Gary Zentmyer	STRAHORN, Robert Edmund (I85878)

Early in her life she worked in the accounting department of West Virginia Pulp & Paper Co. She was a volunteer for the Head Start program and a member of Hempfield United Methodist Church. An avid bridge player, she enjoyed knitting and gourmet cooking. A valedictorian of Tyrone High School, Class of 1921, she attended Ohio Wesleyan College. Born in Tyrone, she was the daughter of the late Robert and Edna Taylor Zentmyer. Her husband, W. Arthur Welch, died in 1992.

763	Rusty Brutsche and two friends formed the famous pro audio rental company Showco with the simple mission to produce good sounding concerts. The goal required the building and maintenance of cutting edge and often innovative gear such as boards, pre-amps and lights. Their Varilight system became a very successful product as it revolutionized concert lighting with motors that moved the lights and changed colors instantaneously. In addition to the gear, Rusty and his staff went on the road to mix front of house for bands all across the country. For example, Rusty mixed Led Zeppelin for years using the board and equipment he and his crew, such as Jim Bornhorst, designed and developed.	BRUTSCHÉ, Harry Russell III (I35)
764	Ruth 'Chita' O'Connor wrote in June 1976 in the Orange County Genealogical Society Quarterly that her father was "Charles Elmore Cosby (changed to Charles E.

765	Ruth, writing in 1983, told the story of Susannah North, an ancestor she traces through Keziah Chase, wife of Amos Hobart b.1774. According to Ruth, Susannah was found guilty of being a witch in Salem Village on 2 May 1692, and hanged on 19 July 1692 on Gallows Hill. She was buried on said Hill, because witches could not be buried in the church cemetery.	DE CILLO, Ruth Wandyne (I86112)

768	Samuel apparently spent his life in the United States in Philadelphia, moving there after 1824. In various Philadelphia city directories, he was listed as a stone cutter from 1829 to 1833. Between 1835 and 1847, Samuel was listed variously as a blacksmith, innkeeper, gunsmith, and locksmith, although there were also other persons named Samuel Lehman in those years. In the 1850 US Census he listed his occupation as 'None.' Then from 1854 to 1863 he was listed as a bricklayer, with the exception of 1862 when he was listed as a moulder, a person who carved stone. (Samuel's son George had been listed as a moulder in the 1850 Census) In 1867, the year of his death, Samuel was listed as a water color manufacturer, certainly working for his son-in-law Joseph Brutsche because his listed address, 250 S. 10th, was also Joseph's address, and Joseph was in fact a water color manufacturer.

799	Sidney Smith Legate was born on May 5, 1830 in Leominster, MA. He was the son of Capt. William Morris Legate and Nancy Hadley Legate. Around 1850 Sidney moved to New Hampshire to teach school. There he met Hannah Wiggin Smith (b. 1830) and they were married 4/8/1852. They went on to have four children, Walter Scott (b. 5/9/1853), Russell Smith (b. 9/9/1855), May Augusta (b. 9/9/1956), and Anna Louise (b. 5/28, 1862). Hannah died a few months after the birth of Anna on 8/7/1862. After his wife's death, Sidney disappeared from his children's lives for a while and they were brought up by various relatives. In 1873 we find Sidney working as a contractor and builder in Denison & Sherman, Texas. His son, Russell, joined him there as did his daughter, May in around 1876. He briefly lived in Fort Worth, TX in 1877. On May 10, 1882 he married Catherine V. Turner in Chicago, IL. He returned to Texas to work as a builder because we find him back in Denison in 1887. He and Catherine eventually settled in Pinconning, MI where they bought a farm. They lived the remaining years of their life there. Sidney died on May 29, 1913.
