A Story of the Revolution - Sarah Lucille Keith Allen (1975) (Introduction)

The previous two posts are the essay "A Story of the Revolution" written by Sarah Lucille Keith Allen in 1975. This story ties into the Stutz line as follows:
  • Mildred Robison Stutz (Grandma) is the daughter of Ward Albert and Sepha Abbott Robison
  • Ward Albert Robison was the son of Willis E. and Sarah Ann Ellett Robison
  • Willis E. Robison was the son of Benjamin Hancock and Lillis Andree Robison
  • Benjamin Hancock Robison was the son of Joseph and Lucretia Hancock Robison
  • Joseph Robison was the son of Joseph and Cornelia Guinal Robison of whom this story tells
The author, Sarah Lucille Keith Allen, is a relative of Grandma's, although I am not sure what the exact relationship is.

The story is written in these posts exactly as it was sent to me by Craig. I broke it into parts -- one part per post -- because it is rather long to put in one post. I believe it was Craig who provided the explanation of the family relationship; it was not part of the original story and I thought it provided a good context for the story, so I put it in this introduction.

Thank you Craig for sending this story to me! It was especially helpful that it was already transcribed into an electronic format, making it easy to post and share with the family. If anyone else has stories transcribed or electronic versions of Grandma's books or other family documents, please send them along!
