E Doyle Robison

1927 ~ 2020

Our wonderful father returned home to join his wife and family Wednesday afternoon, July 8th, 2020. He was 93.

E Doyle Robison was born in Fillmore, Utah, May 31, 1927, the fourth son of Aaron Wayne and Fern Ashby Robison.

He attended Fillmore schools and served in leadership of the class of '45. He also ran the mile for the Millard High Eagles, anchoring the medley relay team.

Just 28 days after his graduation from Millard High School he enlisted in the Navy, serving 13 months, learning to be a radar technician.

Four months after his discharge, Dad began a three-year mission to Sweden. During his mission, he served as President of the Härnösand Branch and of the Sundsvall District.
Upon his return to Fillmore, he met Beth Spencer. After a two-year courtship, they were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple, on August 30, 1951. Together, they enjoyed 64 grand years full of family, service and adventures. She preceded him in death on November 27, 2015.

Applying the study habits he had developed in the Navy, Dad graduated with honors from BYU June 2, 1952 and with a Masters of Science in Retailing, from NYU on June 11, 1952.

Dad went into retailing and marketing, taking him on trips around the world, and establishing relationships with leaders in the industry. The capstone of his career was launching Skagg's Institute of Retail Management at BYU in 1976. During his career he moved his growing family to Ohio, New Jersey, Minnesota, Maryland, New York and Utah.

Dad was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served in many positions and was called to serve as President of the England London Mission from 1991 – 1994. He and mom served other missions together, including one to the Stockholm Temple and another to the Family History Library in Salt Lake. He also enjoyed the opportunity to serve as a sealer and as a stake patriarch.

Dad is survived by his five children – Catherine (Dale) Johnson, Linda (Jeff) Woodworth, Kevin (Kaye Cronquist), Stephen (Darby Howse), and Jeffrey (Kimberly Tucker); his brother, Richard (Mary Meitl) Robison; and his sisters-in-law, Joan (Clair) McKee; and Audrey Spencer; 23 grandchildren, 53 great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.

Dad was also preceded in death by his parents, and his brothers, Ashby, Ray and Duane.

Due to restrictions because of Covid-19, a private graveside service will be held. In lieu of flowers, Dad would like donations be made to the General Mission Fund of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Our family would like to thank Trina and the entire staff at the Memory Care Facility at the Sheridan in South Jordan for their consistent, tender care and service for our father which surpassed all our expectations.

Obituary:

Arnold Leroy Howse, loving son, brother, husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, completed his mortal probation Saturday, June 18, 2016 at his home in Orem, Utah surrounded by half of his twelve children. He won the battle against a fast-growing glioblastoma, surpassing the doctor's expectations by five months.

Arnold was born Friday, December 5, 1941 at his parent's house on Third street in Harbor Springs, Michigan, the youngest of three children and only son of Clifford Leroy Howse and Gertrude Caroline Catob.

As a youth, Dad quickly showed his musical aptitude, taking up the trumpet at the suggestion of the band director, Joseph Jezisek. He played in a dance band and marched in parades as a band member for most of his life. In high school he also played football and was active in other school activities.

It was at High School in band class that he met his future wife, Joanne Marie Heinz. They were married in the Presbyterian Church at Harbor Springs on Friday, September 18, 1959. Together they shared their love of music with their children and community.

Arnold became a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1963 shortly before his graduation from college. He became a biology teacher at Carrollton High School in Saginaw and later taught at  East Jordan High School. He and mom nurtured the gospel in Northern Michigan, where he eventually became Branch President and then the first Bishop of the Petoskey ward.

During the summer, Arnold worked as a fudge maker at Crump's Candies in Harbor Springs. In 1974 Arnold became the owner of the candy store and changed the name to Howse's Candy Haus. He retired from teaching and introduced Northern Michigan style fudge around the country, eventually opening shops in Provo, Utah, DelRay Beach, Florida and finally in Park City, Utah. His son Christopher, now runs the candy store in Harbor.

Joanne passed away in 2006.

Arnold married Janis Heiner on February 6, 2009 in Orem, Utah. Together they adopted Janis' grandson, Taygan.

Obituary

Otsego County Herald Times, Wednesday, November 28, 1928, p. 1:

Another Pioneer
Of County Is Dead;
Lived at Vanderbilt

Albert House died at his home in Vanderbilt, Thursday Night, November 22, at about ten o'clock following an illness, which covered a period of about two years.

Nearly two years ago it was discovered that a cancer was working in his left lower jaw. While every effort was made thru medical care and operations at different times to destroy the dreadful disease, it was of no avail. At times he suffered untold agonies, but thru it all he was ever most kind and patient to those who had the care of him, and made little or no complaint of the ravishing pains and onslaught of the diesaes, until a few weeks ago when he became so much worse that he was kept to his bed most of the time until the end came to his blessed relief.

Mr. House was born July 9th, 1865, at a little place then known as Elk Creek near Brown City in Sanilac County. He was the 4th youngest of the eight children of Daniel and Kathern Snell House, who were formerly of Canada.

He grew to manhood in and around Sanilac County and on October 28, 1888 was united in marriage to Miss Joanna Barrett of Detroit. To this union there were born four children, three girls and one son, all of whom survive.

His wife Joanna died November 2, 1908.

In the fall of 1892, he and his family came to Vanderbilt. He has since resided in or on a farm a few miles from the village, with the exception of about eighteen months spent near New Berry.

Children:	Annie Overholt Eisey May Howse Melvin Earl Howse Myrtle Sena House Charles Adelbert Howse Sylvia Pauline Howse Clifford Leroy Howse

James Milton House was the second husband of Sarah but her true love, so she said. They had several children together, lost their first daughter, Eisey, when she was 11. They also raised his son, by his first wife, Raymond. Sarah and Raymond were very close. James worked in the lumber camps in Pellston for several years where Sarah often worked as a cook. Their oldest children were born there. When Myrtle was ten years old, which would be in the year of 1914, her family moved to an old farm which stood at the top of the east hill in Harbor Springs, where the stadium parking lot once stood, followed by the city skating rink and currently is the site of the care facility, Bay Bluffs. Myrtle has told her family that she was glad to be back at the spot where she spent much of her childhood, before the end of her life. From this location, they moved to a 2 story frame house on Lake Road. Sarah told Joanne Heinz that the house was yellow when SHE bought it. She said that their bluff house was really a shack with space between the wood (logs?) and didn't keep out much weather. The only work I remember her saying was to do laundry for the resorters. Perhaps she had earlier income? Sarah mentioned that the Lake St. home had no bathroom, running water or electricity when they moved into it. Her children were enthralled with turning on the lights when they finally had electricity put in. She still had the little hand pump over her sink and the outhouse in the backyard when the Heinz family moved in next door to her. Her entire family stored potatoes for the winter in her Michigan basement.

Myrtle told of her father, James, singing them to sleep often, and telling them stories. She fondly recalled going to the lumber yard at the foot of the East Hill, in Harbor Springs, to walk home with their father. One day, he led them to the edge of the lake, near the Wequetonsing entrance, and dived in. He proceeded to swim to Harbor Point and back. This to the delight of the children!
   
James' death record, in the Emmet County Courthouse, says that he was a machine operator, probably in Lansing, but he was a lumberjack for most of the years he was with Sarah. It also states that he died of aterioschlerosis and that he was 85 at his death.

FRANKLIN ALONZO ROBISON

AND
ISABELLA ELEANOR MARDEN PRATT ROBISON

Franklin Alonzo Robison was born at Crete, Will County, Illinois on July 29, 1851, son of Joseph and Lucretia Hancock Robison. In March or April 1854, when Lonny, as he was called, was two years old, the family was finally ready to cross the plains to come to Utah. The whole family had worked long and hard to prepare for the long trek. The family consisted of the father and mother and ten children. An older brother was married and was against the move to Utah, so he stayed behind, and never did come to Utah. The second son, Benjamin, was 23 and was also married and had a son. The others were Joseph V., 21, Alvin, 20, Henry, 17, Lucretia, 13, Proctor, 11, Almon, 9, Albert, 7, Adelia, 5, and Lonnie, 2. They had seven wagons, four with horse teams and three with oxen. Among their loose cattle they had some milk cows, yet some of the cows they milked they worked under the yoke as oxen. Theirs was one of the best equipped Mormon Companies that crossed the plains and they traveled in unusual comfort for that time. They arrived in Utah in the late summer, 1854.
 
When they reached Salt Lake, Brigham Young asked them to go down and settle in Fillmore, Millard County, Utah. The people had to live in a fort to protect themselves from the Indians. Joseph and the boys helped build the fort. They lived in the fort eight or ten years.
 
Joseph acquired property in the town. He divided it and gave each of his sons a lot so they could build homes. Lonnie, being younger, didn't get a lot, so he proceeded to take up a lot of his own. When his father found out what he was doing he gave him a lot. Lonnie was engaged to marry a young lady by the name of Sarah Prisby. she died. Later he started to keep company with a girl by the name of Isabella Eleanor Pratt, who came to Fillmore to teach school. They were married April 10, 1872 in Salt Lake in the Endowment House.
 
Isabella Eleanor Marden Pratt Robison was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, September 1, 1854 to Parley P. and Belinda Marden Pratt. Her father was killed when she was 2 or 3 years old. She grew up and attended schools in Salt Lake City. Her home was on what is now Richards Street across the road from the south gate of Temple Square. She started to teach primary age children when she was only 12 years old, thus earning her first wages. At the age of 15 she taught the Primary School at the University of Deseret. Her tuition was paid by her teaching; she also got her teacher's training at the same time.

HELEN VENERA McBRIDE BROWN COLGROVE

by Fern Robison, granddaughter

Helen Venera McBride was born February 22, 1833 at Villenova, New York, the oldest child of Reuben and Mary Ann McBride. When she was a year old her parents moved to Kirtland, Ohio, where her father spent much of his time doing church work, as he had been called for a minute man. When Helen was seventeen her father went in company with President Young to Utah. Two years later he returned to Kirtland to bring his family to the Great Salt Lake Valley. When they arrived they lived in Farmington and Springville. Sometime later they moved to Fillmore as her father was called to settle there by Brigham Young.

Helen married Samuel Brown July 6, 1854. To this union two children were born: Florence Melissa, and Samuel. She was very happy with her family, though they were quite poor and she was obliged to go without many necessities.

In October, 1856, the sad news came to her that her husband and Josiah Call had been killed by Indians. They were returning from the north when they were attacked by Indians on Chicken Creek Hill. They were shot, scalped and hung by their feet in a cedar tree. After this the Indians cut their throats and tied a red handkerchief around Samuel's neck.

When her husband was killed Helen did not have flour in her bin, wood to burn, or money to buy the things needed for her little family. During the lonely years that followed she spend most of her time at the ranch, later known as Almon Robison's ranch, milking cows and making butter and cheese to sell. Most of the time she walked to town carrying her produce so she could sell it.

After she had lived as a widow for thirteen years, she was married to Harley I. Colgrove on December 12, 1860 in Salt Lake City by Joseph F. Smith. To this union three children were born: Lester, Minnie and Eugene. Harley Colgrove served in the Civil War in "Company A" in the 20th Illinois Infantry.

Elizabeth Ann Ashby was born Tuesday, September 26, 1876, at the St. George, Washington County home of Nathaniel and Martha Ann Truman Ashby. She was the third child and oldest daughter in the family. She was named for her Grandmother, Elizabeth Boyes Truman.

Elizabeth was six years old when her father, Nathaniel, died. She was eight when her mother married John Powell in 1885. She always went by the name Libby as a child. In 1888 the Powell/Ashby family moved up to Fillmore, Millard County, Utah. It was there that Libby finished her schooling and attended the Millard Academy.

Because of John Powell's marriage to Libby's mother, John was convicted of co-habitation in 1889 and spent several months in the state penitentiary. On Christmas Day, 1889, Libby wrote to her step-father:

Richard T. Ashby

Laid at Rest

A depressing gloom was cast over the whole community last Saturday when the sorrowful news was passed from one to another that the esteemed citizen, Richard T. Ashby, had died unexpectedly and apparently very suddenly of heart failure at his farm. Saturday morning he was found by two neighbors in his farm house in a sitting position where he had apparently died a sudden and painless death. The fact that he still wore his boots and his hat indicated that he must have come in from the days work, sat upon the couch and passed away without a struggle. It is thought probable that he died on the evening of October 14th.

The funeral services were held last Monday and the Ward Chapel was filled beyond capacity, not only with townspeople but many form all parts of the county and other parts of the state. It was one of the largest funerals ever held in Millard County.

The speakers were all eloquent and feelingly earnest in extolling the many virtues of that good man. They were Bishop Rufus Day, John Cooper, Attorney James Alex Melville and Judge D. H. Morris. Resolutions of respect and condolence from County Officials at the Court House were read by County Attorney Grover A. Giles. The group of lawyers and court officials now holding court here also presented resolutions of respect. Court was adjourned for the day in recognition of Mr. Ashby's faithful services as County and District Court Clerk for three successive terms.

Old Soldier Tells Touching

Story of Civil War Events

_____________

Fred W. Main, 87, Resident of Harbor Springs 54 years,

Enlisted as Youth of 17, Lost Leg in Fort Wagner

Assault Tells of Early Days In Emmet County

_____________

By C. W. Lucas

“War is hell.”

These terse words are Fred W. Main’s bitter denunciation of war. War that took him as a carefree youth of 17 and made him a professional killer. War that cost him his right leg at 19, and left him maimed and nearly a hopeless cripple for life. War that he helped to fight 70 years ago that has brought him physical anguish every day since, and now as a man of 87, war that brings sleepless nights suffering from a wound that never healed.

Letter to a Granddaughter

July 1992
Dear Annette,

I'm sorry I didn't respond to your questionaire you sent me quite some time ago. I just ran onto it while looking through some papers. I will list things as you have.

One time Aunt Helene took both her and mine dolls that our father brought us from Germany in 1923. The buggy tipped over and of course both were smashed all to pieces. They were Dresden dolls.

Another time when I was around seven or eight and I took a pretty green velvet purse that my girl friend received for her birthday. The girls father asked our teacher to watch for it. The teacher came to our house or to my Aunt Frieda's who helped take care of us after our mother died and I think she told my father and I got a whipping with my father's razor strap.

I never dated with anyone but Grandpa Howse. He always came down to the Court House yard to play with eight or ten other kids. Then we started meeting at the library. We decided to go to the Prom up at the high school, so I had to teach him how to dance. We practiced up at his house with the record, "It's Three O'Clock in the Morning."

I went with Grandpa all through High School. Grandpa of course had to quit school in the 11th grade as they couldn't afford to buy his clothes and books. I graduated in June and we were married the following December twenty-first.
