            Solomon Robert is the son of late Mr.S.Yesudian and Mrs.Annapooranam Yesudian, the grand daughter of Rev.J.Joshua.  He was born on 11th July, 1911.  He started his school education at the Primary and Secondary schools run by the Mission.  After completing the Intermediate Course from the Scott Christian College, NAGERCOIL, he took his B.A.Degree from the Science College, Trivandrum.

 

            He was appointed by  the Travancore Government after successfully competing in the competitive examination conducted by them.  However he was later absorbed in the Central Government  as an Auditor in the Income Tax  Department.    While in this service,  he started a Tea business to supplement his income and when it flourished he resigned the Government job and concentrated fully in the business.

 

Mr.Solomon Robert married Mercy Juliet daughter of Mr.& Mrs.N.D.Sahayam on 7th October, 1943 at NAGERCOIL.  She also had her early education in the Mission Schools at NAGERCOIL.

 

Mr.& Mrs.Robert are regular in attending Church Services at the Home Church, NAGERCOIL.  They also take part in all activities connected with the Church.

 

Mr.Robert served as the Secretary of Mault Missionary Society for twenty years.  During this period the Churches at Ramanputhoor, Pallivilai and Vadalivilai were rebuilt.  The whole family is very much interested in music and singing and they organised the NAGERCOIL Musical Association and on all Sundays after the Service the association members gather together in his house and have a singing session for about two hours.  They are continuing this for the past fifty years.

 

            They are blessed with three sons - Yesudian Devasahayam, David Sundersingh and Joshua Manoharan and four daughters Edith Sugirtha Pooranam, Elizabeth Chandramathy, Gracelin Padmavathy and Angelin Prabavathy.  However tragedy struck the family and Manoharan their son died after a brief illness at the age of 48 years on 15th July, 1997 and Dennison Duraisingh their son-in-law  passed away at a very young age of 37 years on 23rd November, 1985.

 

            The Roberts are living in their own family house at Joshua Street, NAGERCOIL.
