Obituary: MRS. BERTHA ROBERTSON PASSED AWAY Mrs. Bertha
ROBERTSON of near Staunton on Friday morning at 1 o'clock passed
away at the St. Francis Hospital at Litchfield. Mrs. ROBERTSON since
about a year ago has been suffering from throat trouble, following an attack 
of quinsy, and paralysis developed. She was taken to the St. Francis hospital
for treatment about two weeks before her death. On Wednesday of the past
week she returned home and on Thursday night was again taken to the
hospital, where she died early Friday morning. Pneumonia is given as the cause
of death. Mrs. ROBERTSON was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arnold FREY
and was born in Kentucky on January 9, 1909, hence attaining an age of 22
years, 1 month and 4 days. Several years ago she was untied in marriage with
Samuel ROBERTSON and of their union a son, now four years old, was born.
The funeral was held on Sunday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock from the home of her
parents, three miles north of Staunton, followed by services at the Presbyterian
Church in our city, Rev. J. A. OESCH officiating. Interment was at Memorial
Park. Hymns in connection with the service were sung by the three MAIN
brothers of Gillespie and the pallbearers were Russell STEWART,
Steve KUPISCH, John MONSCHEIN, Russell BROWN, George MITCHELL
and Gilbert WHITLOW. In addition to her parents, Mrs. ROBERTOSN is
survived by her husband; one son, George Herbert; three brothers, Marshal,
William (note: this is incorrect; should be Will Henry), and Carl, all of this
vicinity; a grandmother, Mrs. Mary GLUR of Girard; a grandfather, Fred 
FREY of Pittsburg, Ky.; a great grandmother, Mrs. Jane JUSTIZ (JUSTICE)
of Louisville, Ky., as well as a large circle of friends and acquaintances. The
high esteem in which Mrs. ROBERTSON was held was plainly attested by
the large concourse of friends who gathered to pay her the final tribute of respect.
