Robert Homer, the youngest child of George and Angeline Todd GRIFFIN, was born near Ash Grove MO on Sept 9, 1893, and departed this life on April 24, 1958 while at his job with JD Adams Company in Indianapolis. He spent all his adult life in central Indiana. For the past 17 yeares he lived in Hendricks and Marion Counties. He was a member of the Ben Davis Christian Church and Russellville Pythia Lodge. On Dec 8, 1912 he was united in marriage with Bertha BLanche Johnson and enjoyed their home together these past 45 years. To their union only an infant daughter was given. His parents, two small sisters and one brother and several uncles and aunts have preceded him in death. To mourn and miss him, Homer leaves his beloeve wife, two brothers-in-laws, Clateon and Cyril Johnson, one sister-in-law, Mary Jo and several very close friends. The host of folks and cousins who knew and liked "Griff" will remember him.
