  • Notes 
    • The Late Mrs. Robertson

      The many friends of Mrs. Robert Robertson, Cedar St., (nee Miss Tena Turnbull) were very much surprised on Saturday, to hear of her sudden death. Coming so shortly after the birth of a son, it is a Sore trial to Mr. Robertson. Mrs. Robertson was doing very well up to Thursday morning, when she took a bad turn and although all was done that kind attendance and medical skill could do, it proved of no avail and she passed away at 8 a. m., surrounded by her sorrowful friends. The deceased was in her 29th year and had been married for about four years. The funeral took place on Monday, to Mount View Cemetery and was attended by a very large number of friends and relatives. Mr. Robertson and the brothers and sisters of the deceased, will have the sympathy of all their friends, in their sore trial.
