ROBERT B. HYSON, son of John and Margaret Hyson, natives of York County, was born 
December 28, 1854, in Hopewell Township, this county.  He remained with his 
parents on the homestead until 1870; then spent about five years in Ohio; 
returned to Pennsylvania in 1874, when he engaged in general merchandising 
business at Mount Pleasant, Penn., where he remained three years.  He then came 
to Gatchellville in 1879, and has since remained there.  He was married in 1880.  
Mr. Hyson is at present justice of the peace of Fawn Township.  He is a member of 
the Presbyterian Church at Centre, and it may well be said stands second to none 
in the rank of business men of southern York County.
