In December, 1872, Jessie Robb was born in the little new town of Muskogee, Indian Territory. From the fact that the baby girl and the town came into existence at about the same time, she was always known as "The First White Child Born in Muskogee." Her parents Mr. and Mrs. Andrew W. Robb, were among the foremost pioneers in the upbuilding of Muskogee. J. S. Atkinson and Mr. Robb started the first store in the town opening their place of business in April, 1872. In 1876 Mr. Robb became associated with James A. Patterson in a mercantile establishment which led all others for many years. Later in life he became president of the Territorial Bank and Trust Company of Muskogee. In 1902 Miss Robb was married to D. H. Hobart who died four years ago. Mrs. Hobart died in California February 11, 1933. She is survived by her daughter Mrs. Clarence W. Swanson of Oklahoma City, and her sister, Mrs. A. Grant Evans of Santa Barbara, California.
