Robert Neubert was the first of the name of Neubert to settle in Hardin County. Robert was born on February 22, 1827, in Dresden, Saxony. Dresden is now in East Germany. His father played the organ in one of Dresden's Cathedrals, which explains Robert's musical talent. He was also President of the University of Dresden.

Saxony was a very aggressive country and everyone had to train for war. From his father's office window, Robert would watch the young boys marching and training. Robert did not want to go to war. In 1854, he and his friend, Bosse, were to be drafted. A Doctor friend gave both of them a report of a fake hernia at their physical, to get them out of the draft. They immediately boarded a ship for America. Between Neubert and Bosse they had only enough money for the passage and a crate. Robert started out in the crate then, when out to sea, Bosse let him out of the crate.
Arriving in America, Robert settled in New Stark, Washington Township, Hardin County. In 1878 Robert bought a farm east of Alger and Bosse bought a farm near Ada. Both have descendants living in those areas today.
