From Geneva Daily Times 17 November 1905Andrew C. Robson, a carpenter, fifty years of age, who resided in the first house north of the Number Nine Presbyterian church, Seneca, died at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon as a result of injuries he received while working on a barn which is being erected on the farm of Clarence Dean at Billsboro. The accident occurred at 8:30 o'clock yesterday morning and as the barn is a considerable distance from the house it was decided to move him at once to his home at Number Nine. At the time the accident occurred Mr. Robson had just commenced shingling the barn. He stepped on one of the roof boards and being a heavy man, the board gave way. In falling he was unable to save himself and after dropping a distance of twenty of twenty feet he struck on the joist of the ground floor of the barn. The force of the fall was sufficient to break both of his legs, dislocate one of his hips, and cause a fracture of the skull. As soon as the accident occurred, Dr. W. C. Grove of this city was called, but before the doctor reached Billsboro, Mr. Robson had been removed to his home. At Number Nine, Dr. D. S. Allen was called and was attending the man when Dr. Grove reached him. The man died from the fracture of the skull and shock at 1 o'clock.Mr. Robson was born a short distance southeast of Number Nine, October 10, 1855, and has lived in the vicinity throughout his life. He was a farmer until twelve years ago, when he gave up farming to devote his entire time to carpenter work. Since that time he has been in constant demand in the farming community south and west of the city, owing to his skill as a mechanic. He was not only an excellent carpenter, but also was an all around mechanic and could take the entire charge of the erection of a building. Although he was not a contractor, he was assisted in building by a gang of from four to six men, whom he kept in constant employment. Besides being the principal carpenter of th! e Number Nine community, Mr. Robson was an action member of Number Nine Presbyterian church, of which he had been sexton for a number of years. He is survived by his aged mother, widow, and one son, Grove W. Robson, all of whom reside at Number Nine. The funeral will take place Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the Number Nine church, Rev. A. B. Temple, pastor of the church officiating. Burial will be at Number Nine. _______________________________________________ No banners. No pop-ups. No kidding. Make My Way your home on the Web - http://www.myway.com
