I found an obituary in the Evansville Courier & Press for Robert Jackson Sellars.
I thought it was interesting they said of him, "he was one of the most prominent farmers in the community and his death is a great loss."
A great loss it was.
He was the son of Isham Sellars and Lucy Ann Hughes.
Robert married Malinda Belle Gibson on November 28th, 1888, in Henderson Co, KY.
They reared just two children: Pearl and Fidelia, and unfortunately, Pearl died at just four years old. Possibly of typhoid fever herself - but I've found no death ledger.
Malinda remarried to George Hickman Cates. The daughter, Fidelia, married Rufus Cates.
Robert and Malinda are buried in Gibson Cemetery #2 with their daughter, Pearl Sellars.
