 Presbyterian banner. (Pittsburgh, Pa.): April 13, 1864
Died at Harvey Hospital, in Madison, Wisconsin, on the morning of January 16th,
1864, of lung fever, in the 63d year of her age, Mrs. Jane, wife of Joel Robb, of
Seneca, Wis. Mrs. Robb was born in Nury, County Down, Ireland. In her infancy she
came to this country with her parents, Joseph and Letitia Patton, and settled in St.
Clairsville, Ohio, where she grew to womanhood under the ministry of Rev. Joseph
Anderson. She was married in May, 1831, and in the following November settled in
McConnellsville, Ohio, where, in November, 1832, she was admitted to the communion
of the Presbyterian church, under the ministry of Rev. J. B. Plumstead, on
profession of her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. In the Spring of 1859, with her
family, she removed to the vicinity of Seneca, Wisconsin. Here, in September last,
there being no Old School Presbyterian church near her home, she, with her husband,
daughter and others, united in the organization of a church, New-School. When the
war burst upon our beloved country, her, noble son stepped into the ranks of the
army. He was stricken with disease and confined at Harvey Hospital, Wis., whither
his mother went on the 23d of December, 1863, to nurse and care for him. On the 7th
of January she was attacked with lung fever, but was not considered dangerously ill
until the 15th. Her husband was telegraphed, but did not arrive until after God had
called her spirit to enter into rest. Her remains were taken home and consigned to
their narrow resting place, to await the resurrection of the just… While a devoted
husband, affectionate children, a large circle of friends, and the church, mourn her
death, it is not without hope...
