Mrs GriselIe Robertson.

At the home of her son ]. B.
Robertson in Brunswick after
about two weeks confinement
with heart trouble and Brights
disease, Mrs. Joe Kirtley Robert
son released life's hold on her
spirit and joined those among
her loved ones in the great be-
yond Thursday evening, last
week.
Griselle Dameron, daughter of
James and Mary Ann Dameron,.
was born near Forrest Green;
Dec. 10, 1849 and in that neigh
borhood grew to young womani
hood. The family moved to
Salisbury when she was about le
and Oct. 27 1868 she was united
in marriage to Joe Kirtley Ros
bertson who died Nov. Fl 1918
The family lived in Salisbury
until 1880 when they moved tc
their farm south of Marceline
and where they lived until Aug.
1893 when they moved to Key.
tesville. Since the death of her
husband Mrs. Robertson made
her home with her children, but
their devotion. never tagging
all thru life, was yet Insufficient
to remove the grief and discon-
solate feelings Of the widow and
her physical ailments were aug
mented by her mental distress.
Mrs. Robertson united with the
Baptist church in Salisbury when
about 20 years of lge and IN
that faith she died, having been
a consistent and devoted worker
in the vineyard Of her ker
thru all the years.
Surviving are her sons, w. j..
Berry, Joe H. and John F. and a
daughter Mrs. Mamie Blakely,
and brothers B. F. and Jas. b.
and sisters, Mrs. R. H. Ford,
Mrs. Mary Brummall. Mrs. r,
j. Rucker, and several grand
children. All who knew her
were her friends and her ac-
quaintances were extensive.
Mrs. Robertson was one of
those women whose life counts
for more than ever credit is gil
ven. Not by ostentaceous dis
play of virtues womanly in all
respects nor boasting of purpos-
es or accomplishments did this
good woman achieve the place to
which she rose in her home and
church. but by gentle and per.
sistent noiseless effort. Hers
was an example which MANY of
the more pretentious might
adopt to the betterment of home
and community.
Funeral services were held at
the Baptist church in Salisbury
by Rev. B. F. Heaton and the
mortal remains of the good wo-
man were disposited in the Gem.
etery of that city last Saturday
afternoon. a large number of old
friends of the family being pres
ent in addition to a number of
relatives.

Assistants at railroad stations
along the Wabash have been
taken off and the three operating
tricks have some little hustling
to do but still find time in the
l6 hours off duty to rest and
look after private business. 1t is
limited that where there are
three operators one will be taken
off and if that is done at this
station, it WILDE third trick man
and we will have no night SER
vice to speak of. It is bad
enough as it. in respect of train
service at night. but to make
matters worse by having the
station closed at night will raise
a howl which will be heard some
distance.

COru nOOL ROL
Did your corn fall down last
