• Notes

  Death of Mr. Alexander Robb This well-known citizen, for so many years watchman at the Main Street crossing of the G.W. Railway, passed away at this residence, North Water Street, on Monday last in the 58th year of his age. Mr. Robb had been ailing off and on for the last year or two, so that his death was not unexpected. He was an honest, careful and obliging man, and was respected by all who knew him. In earlier life he had been engaged on the G.W., and then lost his arm. He leaves a widow and grown up family to mourn his loss. Galt Reporter Jan 21 1887 pg 1
