Ex-Service Man Dies at Home of Parents

William T. Robertson, 32, son of Mr. and Mrs. R.C. Robertson, 297 Lake
drive, who serviced in the United States navy, during the world war, passed
away early this morning at the home of his parents, from kidney trouble.

According to members of his family, the young man had not been in perfect
health since his service during the war.  He enlisted in the navy at the
start of the war and was given his release because of his health before the
end of the conflict.

He entered a Chicago hospital in January of this year, where he underwent
an operation and had been confined until several weeks ago.  Since then he
had been visiting his parents in this city.

The deceased was born May 15, 1898, at Winneconne and came to Oshkosh when
a child.  He lived here until he joined the navy, but since his release had
resided in various parts of the country.

His survivors are his parents; four brothers, Clarence, of Maywood, Ill.,
Carl and Richard, of Oshkosh, and George, of Sioux Falls, SD., and two
sisters, Miss Elsa Robertson, of this city and Mrs. Mildred Whitney, of
Chicago.

Arrangements for the funeral have not been completed but will be announced
later.
