"The Roanoke Leader" -- Roanoke, Randolph Co., Alabama

NEWSPAPER Issue of Wednesday, May 12, 1926

MR. ROBERTSON DIED ON SUNDAY

Wedowee, May 11th

Mr. W.C.S. Robertson, one of our oldest citizens and one who had played a 
prominent part in the development of Wedowee, died at his home here on 
Sunday evening, May 9th. Had the deceased lived until July 7th he would have 
been eighty years of age. He came from Heard County, Georgia to Beat 6 in 
Randolph county when only a very small lad and made this his home since that 
time. He was postmaster at this place from 1876 to 1880 and was United 
States Deputy Marshall from 1896 to 1900. Besides his widow, he leaves seven 
children, all of whom were at his side at the time of his death except one 
son who resides in Arizona. The Masons of Sawyer Lodge of which the deceased 
had been a faithful member since he became 21 years old, assisted by members 
of the Eastern Star, had charge of the funeral exercises, which were held at 
the home at three o'clock Monday afternoon. Burial was in the Masonic 
cemetery.
