Family story: "NOTE - Moses Robinett - His Last Day - October 23, 1878
As told many years later to Lora Robinett (his grand daughter in law) by Adeline Todd Robinett (his daughter in law) and retold on Monday, April 17, 1972 to Dorothy Jeanne Robinett Topolosky.

Moses was ill, and as was his custom he came to his son Elihu and daughter in law Adeline for care and home remedy. They cared for him for some time and his recovery was nearly complete. He began to get restless, Adeline noticed him staring out the windows. These actions and habits were known to her as his desire to return home. Adeline suggested to Elihu that he make arrangements for his father's trip home. It was not far but required a train trip home. Elihu drove him to the train station and saw him safely aboard the train.
Long about evening, Adeline related that "they came and told us, Daddy had been killed by a train"
(facts learned later)
*Moses was not fully recovered from his illness
*He had been drinking on the train
*He fought with another person on the train
*He was forcibly ejected from the train
*He was struck by another train and fatally injured (either the B & O Train or the D.T. & Train)"
