Nola Ann Cusic was born to Andrew Jackson and Mahala Belle (Wilson) Cusic in Dekoven, Union, Kentucky. Nola Ann's daughter Bessie was not sure of the spelling of Dekoven so spelled it Decoven and in many records it has remained that way. Nola Ann Cusic married John Joseph Stephenson (JJ) on 22 Aug 1886 in Ottowa, Franklin, Kansas. They lived a good deal of time between Pittsburg,Crawford, Kansas and Colorado Springs,Pueblo, Colorado. It was there a horrible tragedy happened on January 10, 1909 that would ultimately end their marriage. Two of their sons, Joseph John Stephenson and Edward John Stephenson died on the same day. The pain was too much to bear for Nola Ann. It is only speculation, but she probably could not bear to leave her sons behind and return to Kansas where the headquarters of JJ's Coal Mining business was run. JJ filed for divorce in 1912 in Colorado Springs, Colorado, then married Myrtle Carter in 1913. At some point between 1912 - 1920, Nola Ann remarried to John F. Robinson who resided in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She shows up in the 1920 Census with her new name, but no marriage date has been found. Nola was buried at Fairview Cemetery, the same cemetery in which her sons were buried 17 years earlier.
