DEATH CLAIMS ANOTHER CITIZEN
Mr. John Walker Robertson Died At Pine Grove Last Thursday, Was a Good Citizen.
  Mr. John Walker Robertson, aged sixty-three years, and one of the best known
and most popular citizens of the county, died at his home at Pine Grove, in the
eastern part of the county last Thursday after an illness of two weeks. Up to
the time when he was taken with his last illness he had been in the best of
health. He was in this city a short time since and was attending to his regular
duties.
  He had been a resident of this county practically all his life and possibly
had more friends than any other citizen. He had always led an upright and 
honorable life and will be sorely missed by hundreds of friends. When his 
country called for men in 1861 he was among the first to answer her summons and
served thoughout the war under the command of Colonel Nix and Lewis. He was
one of the most valiant men of his regiment and was a member of the Jefferson
Lamar Camp Confederate Veterans of this county. He was in attendance at their
regular monthly meeting on the first Tuesday in February and his comrades will
miss his kind and thoughtful words at the meetings held by them in the future.
  Mr. Robertson is survived by several sons, daughters and other relatives and
has a host of friends to mourn his end. The funeral services took place at
Carmel church Friday morning at eleven o'clock, and was one of the most
largely attended of any held there in recent years.
  To the bereaved family THE NEWS extends its sympathy.
