Biography
Letter from Torre Bissell to Margaret Robe Summitt gives name as Marilla Hunter and also birth and death dates.
Mrs. Robe is described as "A short pudgy little lady with snow white hair, always neatly but conservatively dressed. She was an expert horsewoman (always riding sidesaddle) and could handle a team of horses like a man." Her granddaughter appraised her to be an excellent cook and needlewoman "par excellent."
William Bay Robe died in January of 1911 in Muskogee, followed by Sarah Hunter Robe in October of 1917, leaving a rich heritage of service to mankind. [photos of William Robe and Sarah Robe]
