Robert Henry Poyner (b. March 25, 1892, d. date unknown)
Robert Henry Poyner (son of Sylvester Poyner and Martha Odom) was born March 25, 1892 in Cortez, Montezuma County, Colorado, and died date unknown in Nebraska ?.
Notes for Robert Henry Poyner: Robert (Bob) Henry Poyner was born in Cortez Colorado in 1892.
By 1910, He appears to have traveled south into Hardin County Texas, perhaps by railway, he was working in a Lumber Mill. He was 18 yrs old.
Taken from : "A Hanbook of Texas Online: Hardin County "The lumber business provided the incentive needed to bring railroad transportation to Hardin County. The Sabine and East Texas Railroad arrived in 1881. It entered the county at its southeastern corner, then extended through the north central section before crossing the county line. The Gulf, Beaumont and Kansas City came in 1894. This road, part of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe system, runs through the eastern part of the county. The Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe, also a component of the AT&SF, crossed northern Hardin County from west to east in 1901-02. The Beaumont, Sour Lake and Western, the last railroad to arrive, built east-to-west through southern Hardin County between 1904 and 1908. The arrival of the railroads stimulated the lumber industry to further growth. Although the original boom slowed after 1887, the lumber business remained the only important industry in Hardin County until after 1900. In 1925, five large processing plants produced a total of 840,000,000 board feet of lumber."
In 1920 He was working in a Lumber Mill in Oklahoma, and by 1930 He ,again, was working in a Lumber Mill in Northern Nebraska.
I believe he was married once, but I can find no record of who he was married to or when. All the available Census data lists him as single (1910-1930).
