I apologize if this email is a duplicate. I tried to send an email to the list yesterday and so far it hasn't arrived. I learned yesterday of the death of Donald C Roblee, of Freedom NY. Don, my father's first cousin, is a fellow Roblee genealogist who never got online. Don was the son of Daniel Roblee, the son of Charles Roblee, the son of Orlando Roblee, the son of Calvin Roblee. It's my understanding that "C" actually was Don's middle name. Don's death leaves my father, Anson Roblee, as the oldest living descendant of Charles Roblee (maybe even Orlando or Calvin). Below are two 2/22 obits for Don. The first if from the Buffalo News, the second from the Arcade Herald: Donald C. Roblee Age 86, of Freedom, NY, February 20, 2005, beloved husband of the late June (nee Wolfer); father of Fran (Larry) Smith, Donald (Rhonda) Kurdziel, Daniel (Sharon) Roblee, Faye (Kenneth) Spencer, Nancy (Raymond) Wangelin and Dale (Kim) Roblee; brother of Thelma Smart, Phyllis Brueser and the late Nelson, Wayne, Leonard, Bernard, Robert and Ester Roblee, and Ida June Bleistien; also survived by 21 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren, three great-great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Friends may call Wednesday from 2-4 and 7-9 PM at the W.S. DAVIS FUNERAL HOME, INC., 358 W. Main St., Arcade, where funeral services will be in Freedom Cemetery. Memorials may be made to VFW Post #374, Arcade or to the Farmersville Fire Department. Published in the Buffalo News on 2/22/2005. Donald C.
