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.
