At his home in Sinking Valley, about 5 miles from Tyrone, Andrew D. Robeson, after a lingering  and painful illness, passed away at 7:20 oclock last night. He was afflicted with internal cancer and was a severe sufferer for the past year ofso.

His birthplace was at the Cillage of Foot - of Ten, at the foot of thesouth incline of the old Portage railway, in Allegheny township, near Hollidaysburg. Previous to becoming a farmer in Sinking Valley he had resided for seven years inthe well known  stone house .at Shoenberger station.  40 years ago he moved upon the farm where he continued to reside uninterupitedly until his death.

                  Altoona, PA.
                  

                   Cemetery records put death in 1861.
                  

                   I also have a birthdate of 23 Dec. 1840. I took the one from " 20th Century History of Altoona and Blair County, PA. and Representative Citizens", by Jesse C. Sell. 1911.  It states that he was a well known dairyman residing on his farm of 22 acres in Allegheny Township, near Robeson's Corners, Blair County, PA. He accompanied his parents in his boyhood, to Woodbury Township, and from there, in 1852, to Allegheny Township. There he grew to manhood, attending the township schools, and then devoting himself to mainly dairying, his land being particularly well adalpted to this industry. For 12 years he was foreman for his brother John C. Robeson, who operated a saw mill. He was a Republican. He was well known all over Blair County and was equally familiar with its people and localities. "Anyone who has spent as many years as he did hauling logs over the mountains in the early days, is entitled to speak authoritatively of the wonderful changes which have taken place in Blair County in an ordinary lifetime. He was the first partyto haul a monument into the cemetery at Altoona". Horace had his Residence: Dell Delight, Hollidaysburg, PA.
Cemetery records have a birthdate of 1841.
