Monroe Journal April 21, 1904
A strange coincidence was the killing of Dr. Robson on Tuesday night at 
Wallace as the Louisville and Nashville railroad within fifteen feet of where, 
on the night of March lst, Dr. S.C. Dillburn was killed.  The latter was a 
physician for the convict camp near Wallace and in alighting from a train, he 
fell beneath the wheels and had both legs cut off, his injuries resulting in 
his death.
Dr. Robson succeeded Dr. Dillburn as the camp physician.  Tuesday he went to 
Foshee to see a patient and returned to Wallace on a freight train.  In 
alighting from the train he fell beneath the wheels and one of his legs was 
cut off, the other mangled.  He died Wednesday and his body was brought 
Wednesday night to Furman in Wilcox county where he formerly lived.
