Robertson Mystery Obituaries

I'm still filing, but I'm in the R's so there is light at the end of the tunnel.  Another large file because the Robertson family is prolific.  I've come across two obituaries that were probably kept by my grandmother Grace (Butler) Robertson. They have no newspaper title or date.  

Obituary 1:

The Rev. A.A. Robertson Dies

Retired Congregational Minister of Chicago Former St. Louisan.

The Rev. Albert A. Robertson, retired Congregational minister, and a former St. Louisan, died Wednesday of a heart attack at his home in Chicago. He was 60 years old.

Ambrose Maulding: Ancestors, Descendants & Kinsfolk, ver. 2

In 1981 Paul Kornmeyer, Denzil Mauldin, Ruth Adams and Flossie Anderson published the book Ambrose Maulding: Ancestors, Descendants & Kinsfolk.  I have been annotating my copy and have several Maulding family clippings.  The following are updates done in the same manner as the original book and appear in italics here.
