Obituary: Mrs. Evaline Robertson, 15 May 1897 - Smith County, TX Contributed by Vicki Betts 12 January 2003 Copyright.

She came to Texas in 1850, and in 1851-2 she was married to George McRight, who lived but a short time. In 1853 she married William Robertson, who died in 1857. Two children were born to her, a son who died in 1879, and a daughter who still lives. The greater part of her life was spent within the bounds of old Larissa Circuit. She did not know the date of her conversion, nor how long she had been a member of the Church. The closing years of her life were attended with much affliction. Her last sickness began in March, but she lingered till the 15th of May. Loving hands ministered unto her, and would have retained her, but she was anxious to go. She loved her Church and pastors, and the Advocate especially. Hers was a long and blameless life. F. A. DOWNS
