ARTHUR ROBERTSON

  Arthur Robertson, a son of Andrew and Margaret Wyland Robertson, died in the 
Johnstown Memorial Hospital, March 12, 1943, at the age of 75 years, 3 months 
and 22 days.  His death was caused by toxemia and aremia.  He was taken from his 
home in Salisbury in a very serious condition, just a week before he died, and 
suffered terribly at intervals during the last seven or eight years from a 
complication of ailments, including asthma, a bad bladder condition, and badly 
impaired eye sight.
  Mr. Robertson came to this vicinity of Salisbury with his parents, about 60 
years ago, and for many years he worked in the coal mines in Elk Lick Township.  
His wife, who preceded him in death April 20, 1937, was Amanda Thomas before 
their marriage, and was a daughter of Abraham Thomas, for many years a well-
known citizen of Elk Lick Township.  Since the death of his wife, Mr. Robertson 
lived alone most of the time.  He is survived by these children: William of Coal 
Run; Clarence, an inmate of the Veterans Hospital at Cotesville, Pa.  He is also 
survived by three brothers and three sisters, namely, James of Cleveland, Ohio; 
Andrew of Buffalo Mills; John of Cresaptown, Md.; Mrs. Sarah Shirey of Bard; 
Mrs. Alice Bowman of Somerset, and Miss Grace Robertson, whose present address 
is unknown.
  The funeral services were held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Robertson, 
at Coal Run, and were conducted by Rev. Ira S. Monn of Salisbury.
  Interment was in the Salisbury I.O.O.F. Cemetery, under the direction of 
Stanley M. Thomas, Salisbury mortician.
