BIBLE: ROBERTSON FAMILY BIBLE; submitted by Betty Adwell SMITH, Rt 3 Box 127, Rockwood, TN, 37854; The Bible now in her possession, came to her from her grandmother, Emma Wassom McCUISTION, after having been passed down through the family of Harvey and Mahalia PEARSON ROBERTSON.
MARRIAGE#2: MARRIAGE OF PROMINENT YOUNG PEOPLE: Mr. Thos H. ROBERTSON and Miss Hannah HOLLAND were united in the bonds of holy wedlock at the home of his bride, two and one-half miles SE of town, at 4:00 this afternoon, Squire M. S. HOLLOWAY officiating. A number of relatives and friends of the contracting parties were present to witness the ceremony joining these to young people together for life. The groom is only 63 years of age, while his bride has gathered the fragrant flowers of 50-odd summers. Mrs. ROBERTSON is a sister to Mrs. T.B. HOLLAWAY, of this city. We hasten to extend congratulations.
OBIT: T. H. ROBINSON; T. H. ROBINSON died at his home, four miles from Spring City Tennesse, 4 Dec 1914,aged 72 years. Mr. ROBINSON has been afflicted for some time with that dreadful malady, dropsy. He had twice been married; his first wife was Sarah BURNETT, formerly Sarah BRYSON. who preceded him to the grave by several years. He then married Miss HOLLAND, who survives him. In the eaarly sixties Comrade ROBINSON cast his lot with the Confederacy, and became a member of Captain Burton Leuty’s company in the First Tennessee Calvary snd served four years. He was a splendid soldier, always ready for the call of duty, and it can be truly said of him, that he never missed an opportunity to do effective service for the Southland when presented. He was always present and ready for duty when called, and was true to principle as the needle to the pole, and perhaps no man in the Confederate service undertook more difficult tasks or was more willing to brave danger than he. In fact, he did not seem to realize what the word fear meant. I could mention many instances of his daring rides and heroic escapades of which he, in his life time was too modest to speak, but it is suffcient to say that he was a fine soldier, a splendid citizen, a good neighbor, a loving husband, and we all shall miss him. A Comrade
