     While living in Missouri, Josephus answered the call of his country during the Civil War. At the beginning of the war, he joined the militia, serving for six months. He was mustered into the regular army by 31 August 1862 when he was on the rolls of Company G, 2nd Missouri Cavalry, holding the rank of captain of his company. He was later promoted to the rank of major, in which he served until he resigned on 24 December 1864. On or about 20 January 1863, in the line of duty, Josephus broke his left leg while crossing the Missouir River at Herman, Missouri. His leg was imporperly set leaving his leg crooked at the joint. His leg remained week and being in this condition, he was not able to mount his horse or walk without great bodily pain.¹²

     Josephus Robbins was a farmer.¹⁴
     According to his obituary, Josephus was "a professed christian for twenty-five years and a member of the M.E. church, Everest, Kansas, for fifteen years, having acted as stewart for a number of years. He will be greatly missed as a loyal member of the church, a patriotic citizen, a kind neighbor, a loving father and a devoted companion."¹⁵
     According to his pension application, Josephus was 6 feet tall, about 160 pounds, dark complexion, black eyes and black hair.¹²
     The physician attending him at his death had this to say about his physical condition: [He] showed first symptoms of acute desqamative nephritis about July 10th 1905, subcutaneous aedema, febrile movement preceded by chils, anorexia, pain in loins, dry skin, palled countenance, dropsiral effusions into peritoneal and pleural cavities, scanty urine, speoif [sic] gravity about 1020, albumen in great abundance, impaired vision, coma preceeding and death following on September 10th at 2 o'clock A.M. 1905. Pericarditis was the complication in the case, and although there was no obvious causation, exposure to cold seems to have been the only causative factor." Another deposition gives the cause of his death as "kidney disease due to old age."¹²
     While his war injury left him permanently disabled and at times unable to work his farm, it apparently did not dim his spirit. According to Josephus' obituary, "Major Robbins was very patriotic and a great lover of his country.... In municipal affairs he always took an active and leading part, always working for the best interests of the town [of Everest]. Three times he was the choice of the people for Mayor of Everest, his last term not having expired at the time of his demise."¹⁵
