    2. Karen Chezum
    3. In going through a box of old pictures given to me by an aunt in Macon, MO I found the following obituary. I have no idea of the name of the paper it was taken from or the date it appeared! "Mrs. Robertson, 89, Dies at Home Near Huntsville Mrs. J. B. Robertson, 89, died at 7 o'clock this morning at her home south of Huntsville. Mrs. Robertson, the former Miss Marian Walker, was born in Randolph County on Jan. 21, 1860, and was married about 67 years ago. She spent her entire life in this county. She was a member of Eads Chapel Methodist Church. She is survived by four children, W.M. Robertson, Cairo, Mrs. G.E.Brown, Springfield, IL; Mrs. George Allen, Huntsville, and Willard Robertson of the home; ten grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren. Mr. Robertson died July 10, 1940. The body will be at the home in Huntsville until the funeral hour. Funeral service s will be held at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at Eads Chapel. Burial will be at Eads Chapel Cemetery. In Larry Sumpter's Database of Death's in Randolph Co. I found the following: Marian Robertson 1861-1949, Eads Chapel Cem. James B. Robertson 1856-1942, Eads Chapel Cem. Willard S. Robertson d. Jul 1963, Eads Chapel Cem. Also in Eads Chapel Cemetery William and Caroline Caldwell Robertson are buried, are they connected in any way to the proceeding Robertsons? I assume the James B. was Marian's husband and that Willard was her son that was named in her obit. I believe that G. E. Brown is George E. Brown the s/o John Thomas and Mary Summers Brown. George E. died in Springfield, IL. Is the W.M. listed in the obit the Willie Robertson who married Susie Brown d/o John Thomas and Mary Summers Brown? In the box of old pictures I found pictures identified on the back as Mrs. Mary & Willard Robertson, another that has compliments of Willie Robertson written on the back and another picture that my aunt identified as Willie Robertson, Susie Brown's husband. If you connect with any of the individuals listed here please help me. I would be glad to share what I have, I would really like to be able to know how these individuals connect to my family. Karen
