    Death Of John H. Robertson

    A well-known Ayr resident, John Herbert Robertson died suddenly at his home on Northumberland St. on Friday as the result of a heart attack. The late Mr. Robertson was 52 years of age. He was born in Woodstock, a son of the late Dr. A. R. Robertson and Mrs. Robertson, and came to Ayr as a child, where his father carried on a dental practice for many years. In his early years, Jack, as he was known to many friends, was an outstanding hockey player. From Ayr Continuation School teams, he graduated to the Ayr Victorias of the early '30's where he performed brilliantly as a forward. His skill caught the attention of the Detroit Red Wings system and he received a tryout with that team. The late Mr. Robertson lived nearly all his life in this vicinity with the exception of a few years spent in Brantford district. He was a member of Alexandria Presbyterian Church, Brantford. Surviving, besides his wife, the former Elsie Bell, are a son, Robert of Hamilton; a daughter, Mrs. David Wray (Betty) of Kitchener, and a brother, Robert of Utica, Mich.
