Landmark July 26, 1887
An Old Citizen Gone
 
The funeral of Mr. Duncan Robertson, who died at his residence, No. 127 York 
Street, on Saturday, took place on Sunday afternoon. The services, both at the 
house and grave in Elmwood Cemetery, were conducted by the Rev. B.D. Tucker, 
rector of St. Paul’s P.E. Church. The following gentleman acted as pall 
bearers: Col. Walter H. Taylor, Captain C. W. Wilson, Thomas R. Borland, C.A. 
Santos, Wm. R. Galt, James Y. Leigh, Col. A.W. Starke and John E. Doyle.
 
Mr. Robertson was originally from Philadelphia, but for the greater portion of 
his life has resident in Norfolk, where both in business and private life his 
actions were marked by the strictest integrity. He was for many years the head 
of the house of Robertson & Branda, and was until the time of his death Consul 
for Spain, Portugal and Italy, though for a number of years, on account of 
infirmities, which confined him to his bed, his duties as Consul have been 
performed for him by proxy. At the time of his death Mr. Robertson was eighty-
seven years old and therefore justly ranked as one of our oldest citizens.
