General Notes: Husband - Jacob Edmund Robertson

---

He was raised on the home­stead farm of his grandfather, which he and his brother James William later owned. They attended the common schools of their native township, received a good education and then engaged in farming and stock-raising. Their farm was in the western part of the township, contained one hundred and fifty acres of land and was very pro­ductive. He was a republican in politics and a ruling elder of the Sewickley Presbyterian church, of which his wife was a member. He was a member of Mendon Grange, No. 855, Patrons of Hus­bandry and always took an active part in whatever was calculated for the promotion of agricultural interests.
