John T. Robertson
John Thomas Robertson, formerly of Arnprior, died on Wednesday evening at his home, 417 Bay street. Although in failing health for some time, his death will come as a shock to many friends in Ottawa and district. Born in Lanark township on November 28, 1867, he was the son of the late Thomas Robertson and his wife, the former Mary Creighton. Mr Robertson lived in Arnprior for some time before coming to Ottawa in 1918. His wife, the former Elizabeth Ann McKay, predeceased him three years ago. He is survived by one daughter, Miss Meda M. Robertson, of the Department of National Revenue, Ottawa, and one son, Earl G. Robertson, of Simcoe, Ont. Three brothers, James William and Robert, predeceased him some time ago. The funeral will be held on Saturday at two p.m., from the home of his sister-in-law, Mrs Margaret Schoular, Farm street, Almonte. Interment will be at Auld Kirk cemetery, Almonte.
