Illinois, expecting to join the Saints in Nauvoo, but the Prophet Joseph
being martyred at that time, the family settled in Will County, just
south of Chicago, where they remained until 1854. Having embraced the
gospel, the family were never satisfied with their Illinois home,
although fortune smiled on them financially; their hearts were with their
co-religionists in the Rocky Mountains. Consequently they sold their home
and started for Utah in April.

Biography: from a Biographical Encyclodedia that belonged to Willis E.
Robison, vol 1, #34, Aug 24, 1901, p. 529:
A High Councilor in the Millard Stake of Zion from 1869 to 1882, was born
11-9-1831, son of Jos. & Lucretia. When but a small boy he emigrated
with his parents to Illinois, expecting to join the Saints in Nauvoo, but
the Prophet Joseph Smith being Matyred at that time, the family settled
in Will Co., about 30 miles so. of Chicago, where they remained till
1854. Benj. married Lillis A. Andree, 5-12-1853, having embraced the
gospel, the family were never satisfied with their Illinois home,
although fortune smiled on them financially; their hearts were with
their co-religionists in the Rocky Mountains. Consequently they sold
their home and started for Utah in April 1854; they arrived in SLC in
Aug. same yr. After paying their tithing they continued the journey
south to Fillmore, Millard County. Here brother Robison worked with his
family, to reclaim the desert, by breaking the soil, digging ditches,
building forts, standing guard to protect the community against indians,
& in fact anything common to the lot of a frontiersman. In 1861 he went
back to Illinois, where he spent the following winter and summer (getting
horses & seeds). He was called to Deseret, Millard County, in the fall
of 1863, to preside over the Saints there, who were struggling to put in,
& keep a dam in the Sevier river; he spent his time & means working to
make the undertaking a success until the spring of 1868, when he was
honorably released to return to his home in Fillmore. In 1863 he married
Susannah Turner, thus obeying the principle of plural marriage. At the
organization of the Millard Stake on Zion he was chosen as one of the
High Council, & was set apart to the position 3-9-1869, which office he
held until the time of his death, in Fillmore Dec. 24, 1882. Elder
Robison was a public-spirited man, & filled many positions of trust in
the community. His natural ability always kept him in the
front ranks. In law matters he was regarded as good authority, & was
repeatedly elected Justice of the Peace for the city of Fillmore. At the
time of his demise he was Mayor of the city, & so deeply was his loss
felt, that the Court House bell was muffled & kept tolling all day long.
By his first wife, Lillis, he raised 4 sons & 2 daughters, (see Willis
E.) and by his 2nd wife, 5 sons and 3 daughters; all of whom, together
with their mothers, followed in the path he marked out for them, being
faithful members of the LDS Church.
From a picture group sheet:
Benjamin Hancock Robison was the 2nd son born to Joseph Robison and
Lucretia Hancock. His parents heard of the Prophet Joseph Smith from
Mormon Missionaries laboring New York State where the Robison family
lived. Lucretia wanted to be baptized at once but her husband ask her to
wait for one year. One year later they were baptized the same day Feb.
1841.
Three years later the family started west to join the saints in Nauvoo,
when they reached Chicago they were told to go no farther the Prophet and
his brother had been killed by a mob. The Robison family settled in Crete
Will Co Ill. This is where Benjamin met and married Lillas Alvira Andree,
to them was born a son Willis Eugene. When he was six months old the
Robison's again started west, they had lived in Crete ten years.
They were well equipped for the journey and made it in 4 months, they had
no sickness or deaths for which they were thankful. They only stopped in
Salt Lake long enough to get orders from Brigham Young. They
were sent to Fillmore Millard Co.
Lillas was a devoted mother, Benjamin lived a very busy life, at the time
of his death he was a High Councilman in Millard Stake, mayor and had
been justice of the peace, the day of his funeral the bells on the court
house were muffled and only tolled at intervals. The whole town mourned
the loss. These two people were real Pioneers and were well respected by
all who knew them. They both left worthy records that any descendant can
be proud. They are both buried in the Fillmore City Cemetary.

FUNERAL RITES
FOR FILLMORE
PIONEER HELD
ALMON ROBISON.
[Portrait included]
Funeral services for Almon Robison, verteran agriculturalist of
southwestern Utah and pioneer of 1856, who died at his home in Fillmore
Tuesday, were held at Fillmore yesterday, with interment in Fillmore
cemetery.
Mr. Robison was born in Crete, Ill., May 15, 1845, and , with his
parents, came to Utah in July, 1856, settling in Fillmore a month later.
He turned to farming while a young man, and initiated methods of
agriculture that were adopted generally in southwestern Utah and that
brought unfailing returns each year. In addition to his farming and stock
interests he was engages in banking and commercial pursuits in the
western part of the state.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Josephine Robison, two brothers: Alvin
Robison of Richfield and Franklin A. Robison of Fillmore and one sister,
Mrs. Lucretia P. Owens of Woodruff, Ariz.

The Millard County Progress, Friday, 21 Feb 1919:
MANY FRIENDS ATTEND FUNERAL
Funeral services were held here on Saturday last for Almon Robison in the
L.D.S. Chapel with Bishop Rufus Day in charge. The speakers were
Christian Anderson, James A. Kelly, Joshua Greenwood, James A. Melville
and William P. Payne all of whom spoke of the stalwart character and
business integrity of the deceased. The last 4 speakers whose names are
given above journeyed from afar to attend the last rites over the
remains, the deceased having been numbered among their best friends
during his lifetime.
Appropriate music was furnished by the Ward Choir and vocal solos were
rendered by Mrs. Helen Derrick and Mrs. Katherine Rasmussen. Many
beautiful floral tributes were in evidence and the service was a very
largely attended one.
Mr. Robison, as narrated in our last issue, was the son of Joseph and
Lucretia Hancock Robison, and was born at Crete, Ill., May 5, 1845. He
crossed the plains with his parents in 1854 and came almost direct to
Fillmore. In 1864 Mr. Robison recrossed the plains and returned with a
large body of immigrants. Since that time, by persistent effort and good
business management, he succeeded in building up a very large fortune and
at the time of his death, was accounted one of the richest men in
Southern Utah.
In commenting upon his life the speakers laid great emphasis upon his
faithfulness to his friends, and many a man, who today is independently
well off in this world's goods, has Mr. Robison to thank for the start he
gave
them in life. Many there are, no doubt, who will miss his wise council in
business affiars and farming pursuits, for he was responsible for many
changes being promulgated in this section in an agricultural way.
After more music by the choir, the funeral cortege wended its way to our
cemetery where the remains were interred. May the peace of God that
passeth all understanding -----de his spirit into the care of our
Heavenly Father. Amen.
