GEN. robson IS
DEAD, AGED. SO
Served Through Civil War;
Wounded Twice; Well
Known Here

General John r. Robson. veteran
of the Civil War. state factory in
spector for many years and a widely
known visitor to the city, died at his
home in Mifflintown, Wednesday eve
min. Had he lived until July II. he
would have been IS years old.
Born on his fatherS farm in Milford
township, Juniata coGnty. he followed
farming until the Civil War. when he
was commissioned first lieutenant
of the Juniata cavalry. commanded by
Captain John ]. Patterson. better
known later as the Senator from
South Carolina.
The company's first trip was to this
city. where it acted as bodyguard TO
Abraham Lincoln at the reception
given by the State during his stay
here on the way TO Washington.
When Fort Sumter was fired on
Captain Patterson. who was then a
member of the Legislature, went to
the office of Ely Setter, secretary of
the Commonwealth. and rendered the
services of his company for the dura-
tion of the war.
Takes Company Out
The proffer was refused at that
time as General Scott did not think
he needed any more cavalry. When
the reserves were formed brief time
afterward, Captain Patterson's COM
pany was designated Company a. First
Pennsylvania cavalry. AS Captain
Patterson was then an aid to General
REIN, Lieutenant Robson took the
company out and later was named its
captain.
In the year that he served in the
First regiment. he was schooled in
military affairs by General Bayard
and Major McEwen, who came from
Mifflin county and was a regular army
officer.
Later Captain Robson resigned and
went back to his home.
Serves Through War
He was there but short time when
President Lincoln issued his memora-
bile call for ,O0O volunteers. Cap
tain Robson at once raised another
company, which afterward became
Company f, sixteenth Pennsylvania
cavalry. His discipline speedily
brought Captain Robson to the at
tention of Colonel John /. Gregg. who
when he was promoted to Brigade
commander made him lieutenant colo
mel and placed him in command of the
sixteenth.
Wounded Twice
Colonel Robson commanded this
regiment through many severe en-
gagements He was wounded twice.
The first time was during the fighting
in Virginia. and again during Mead 5
retreat to Centerville. in 1863. The
company was mustered out at Lynch
burg. Va, August IS, 1855.
Colonel Robson then returned 10
the farm and was appointed factory
inspector by Governor Hastings. He
served more than twenty. years in this
position and was retired recently.
He was married twice. the last time
to Rebecca Crawford. daughter of the
late DR.. d. NJ. Crawford. OF Mifflin-
town. a former state senator. Cen
eral Robson was also elected state
senator and took a prominent part in
the contest in which the late Senator
Wallace was implicated with the ''cof-
! fee pot naturalization papers" He
was staunch Republican and was a
delegate to the convention which
nominated General Hastings.
