Former Resident Passes in the West Word has just reached us concern- ing the passing of a former resident ,of the Wingham district, Mr. John Robertson, whose father, Mr. Alex Robertson, lived between Wingham And Bluevale. Mr. John Robertson grew, up in this district and at the age of 14 joined the Baptist church in Wingham. He left for Western Canada in 1892, where he settled in the Glen- dale district, near Neepawa,' Manitoba, In 1899 he married Miss Janet Bax- ter, who also was a resident of Wing- ham. Both families were well known in this district. Mr. Robertson farmed in the Glen- dale district until 1945, when failing health and increasing age made it im- possible for him to continue his work. With Mrs. Robertson he then moved to the town of Neepawa where he con- tinued to reside until his passing. Mr. Robertson actively supported the work and services of the Baptist church until failing vision and physical in- firmity made it increasingly difficult for him to do so. After a comparative- ly brief illness he passed away in the Brandon General Hospital on April 20th, 1953, the funeral service being conducted in the Baptist church, Nee- pawa, by the Rev. W. G. Loader. The quiet faith and consistent Chris- tian life of the deceased marked him as a Christian gentleman and earned him the respect and esteem of all who knew him, He leaves to mourn their loss his widow and one brother, Peter Robertson, of Portland, Mich., U.
