HOLLIDAYSBURG HAPPENINGS.
Death of John Robeson.

  On Friday Mr. John Robeson died at the residence of his brother, Hon. 
Joseph Robeson, in the Loop, and was buried in the Presbyterian 
cemetery at this place on Sunday.  Mr. Robeson was 71 years and ? 
months old, and was a man who seldom left the farm, except on election 
day.  He never missed a vote for fifty years.  He never married, and 
has always made his brother's house his home, devoting almost his 
entire time to reading, and although he might be classed a hermit, yet 
he was well posted on all important news of the day.  Only a few days 
before his death he had a paralytic stroke which terminated in his 
death.
