Robert "Bob" Mashburn was born in 1922 and raised in Hawkinsville, GA. He married Mervin Hobbs in 1942, just a few months before he entered the Army. He did his Army and pharmacy training in Texas (El Paso and Brownwood) during 1943 and left for Wales to join the 279th Station Hospital a few days after Christmas that year. He was with the 279th until March 1946 in Berlin, at which time he came home to Hawkinsville and was honorably discharged from the Army.
Bob and Mervin had a daughter, Linda, a year after he returned and several years later they moved to Tallahassee, FL where he continued his practice as a pharmacist. He passed away in Tallahasee in 1972 at the age of 49. Mervin stayed in Tallahassee and passed away in 2009 at the age of 87.
