project may be successfully COM

built the house in which he spent the
remainder of his nearly lightweight
years, and founded another family

men, and Mrs. Annie Wentworth, all

died some twenty years ago; later,
the son Weston. The children and
grandchildren have always been de-
voted to him and his interests.
Mr.. Robertson married several
years ago Mrs. Mary Boynton Libby,
who has made him a happy home
and cared for him in his last illness.
He had been very successful with his
farm and timber interests, seen the
little hamlet change from an outpost
of East Sullivan to a thrifty settle
ment, with railroad station, rural de-
livery, sporting camps. telephone and
radio connections; automobiles over

highway on the coast instead of the
one proposed by Mr.. Cobb. coming
through from Franklin, now only
known as the "Old Cobb Road"
