General Notes:
After the death of her first husband, Elam Robinson, Almyra traveled back to West Virginia from Illinois with a four year old daughter (Rose Ella ), a two year old son (Omar). At the time she was eight months pregnant with her third child, Electa, who was born just five weeks after her father's death. Almyra and her three children lived with her parents in West Virginia until she remarried in 1873. She left her children with her parents and went to live with her new husband, Eli Rinehart. The three children remained in the home of their grandparents where they showed up in the census records for Warren Township, Upshur County, West Virginia.
Even though she was only married to Elam for approximately five years, and her marriage to Eli Rinehart lasted almost 15 years, she was buried next to her parents with the surname ROBINSON. Her 2nd husband, Eli Rinehart, is buried next to his 1st wife and their children.
