Notes for CHARLES ROBERTSON:

Notes from the Oglethorpe Echo, Oct. 15, 1909.

PROMINENT ANTE-BELLUM CITIZENS OF OUR COUNTY

 

Men who gave Oglethorpe fame for its Exceptional High Class of the Most Noble Citizenry.

 

As remembered by Mr. J. S. Baughn

 

Editor Oglethorpe Echo; The map of Thos. B. Moss shows the homes at a more recent date, but during the existence of slavery, plantations were much larger, but I will say many who were the first to enlist and who made the best of soldiers, were not slave owners.

 

To the southeast of the fairground was the home of Charles Robertson, who like his father, was a brick mason, and in 1849, while building the chimneys to Wash. Birdsong's house, where R. L. Callaway now lives, he was badly bruised by a chimney falling on him.  Soon after he moved to Paulding County.  The next house on the road has had so many occupants that I hardly know who to name.  It was known as the Tucker place.  J. D. Tucker lived there quite awhile.  Mrs. Elizabeth Howard, after the death of her husband, Robert Howard, in 1855; moved there and remained till her death, only two years later.  The Colquitt place, afterwards known as the Downer place, was the home of Thomas Downer, after Mrs. Colquitt moved to Louisiana in 1859.  Half a mile southeast was the home and final resting place of Pleasant Robertson, who raised three sons and several daughters.

 

This information was contributed by: Troy Colquitt, telles@elberton

 

The 1860 Census for Paulding County Has a C. Roberson, age 46, male, farmer.  Also listed with are:

Mary Roberson, age 21, female

Sniden Roberson, age 19, Male

Benjamin Roberson, age 16, male

       

Child of CHARLES ROBERTSON and MARY TRAMMEL is:

                   i.    BENJAMIN⁸ ROBERTSON, b. 1844; d. 1862.

 

Notes for BENJAMIN ROBERTSON:

Note from "Georgia Memoirs" found on Ancestry, from note on Snowden Robertson

"Dr. Robertson is the only living child - the other son having died on the Manassas battlefield in the eighteen year of his age."  This would have been Benjamin.

 

       

Child of CHARLES ROBERTSON and SARAH WILKES is:

Notes for SARAH ANN MILNER:

Notes from Shirley Swenson:

During the War of Northern Aggression Sarah was brave and took her children in a wagon to Alabama where Elijah had gone to start a business.  She is said to have thrown all the silverware in the well before leaving everything behind to escape the Yankees.  she bravely got through the war zones and was helpful to the Confederate soldiers who assisted her along the way.

 

Sarah was instrumental in the erecting of a soldier memorial that is at the Seth Salem Cemetery in Boligee, AL where many family members are buried with her and her husband, Elijah.

 

The 1880 US Census shows Sarah, age 67, living in Boligee, Greene Co., Alabama with her son William, age 24.  It shows Sarah's father's birth place as Georgia and her mother's as VA.

Generation No. 4

 

8.  SNOWDEN⁸ ROBERTSON (CHARLES⁷, PLEASANT⁶, FRANCES⁵, NATHANIEL⁴, JOHN³, NICHOLAS², EDWARD¹ ROBINSON) was born December 11, 1840 in LaGrange, GA, and died June 01, 1911.  He married LOUCRETIA C. SUMMERS December 22, 1865 in Coweta, Georgia, daughter of ADAM SUMMERS and MARIA MARTIN.  She died February 28, 1933 in Dallas, Paulding Co., GA.

 

Notes for SNOWDEN ROBERTSON:

These notes on Snowden are from "Memoirs of Georgia Volume 2 1895" "Chapter 6 The Bench and Bar of Georgia", "Ocnee County Page 673".

It states " Snowden Robertson, physician and surgen, Dallas, Paulding Co., Ga., son of Charles and Mary(Wilkes) Robertson, was born in LaGrange, Troup Co., Ga., in 1840. "  I am not in agreement with the name of the mother.  Marriage records indicate that Charles was married twice.  First to Sarah E. Wilkes, Feb. 11, 1840 in Troup Co., Ga.  Second to Mary D. Trammel Dec. 27, 1847 in Oglethorpe Co., Ga.  Since Snowden was born in 1840 Sarah Wilkes would be his mother.   According to the notes Pleasant Robertson was his parental grandfather who migrated from Petersburg, Va. to Oglethorpe Co., Ga. in 1808.  Pleasnt was married to Clasy Perkins in Oglethorpe Co., Ga., in 1808.  

 

The note stated that Snowden's mother was the daughter of Moses Wilkes who migrated to Oglethorpe County about 1810.  She was born in 1820 and married in 1839, but the marriage records show 1840. 

She died in 1842.

The Obituary of Sylvester Robertson

 

Another pioneer of Birmingham, Alabama passed away at 1:40 Am this morning when Sylvester Robertson, one of the oldest and most highly esteemed citizens of Woodlawn, Al and one of the most widely known men in the Birmingham district, builder of many of the large buildings in this city years ago breathed his last.

 

For some time Mr. Robertson had been a sufferer from cancer and of late little hope had been entertained for his recovery.  with the Christian fortitude however, which characterized his long and useful life, he bore his affliction and was cheerful and contented to the last.

 

Mr. Robertson came to Birmingham a quarter of a century ago and in the rapid growth and wonderful development which has taken place here he played an honorable and prominent part.  He came here as a contractor and followed that business for a number of years.  he had charge of the construction of the old First Methodist Episcopal Church South and the Alabama National bank Building and others.  He also did the brick work on Furnace No. 2 of the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Company.  For a number of years he was a brick manufacturer in this district and also in West Point, MS.

 

As an indication of the changes that have taken place in Birmingham during his long residence here when he first came to the city, Mr. Robertson operated a brick yard on the corner of seventh Avenue and Twenty First Street, long since built up with residences.

 

In private life Mr. Robertson was an exemplary citizen, kind-hearted, honest and faithful to every duty before him.  He was a member of the First Methodist Church of this city and had been for years.  he had a large family to which he was devoted and his home life was high.

 

The funeral will be held at the late residence, (?)11.5 South Sixty-third street, Woodlawn, tomorrow morning at 10o'clock.  Interment will follow at Oak Hill.

 

Pallbearers will be: J.R. Copeland, Thomas Simms, Frank P. O'Brien, T.C.  Thompson, C.A. Bain and

?. O. Wright.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF MR. & MRS. J.D. ROBERTSON

BY: J. JAMES

DATED: 4-24-1923

John Dobson Robertson was a son of Eligah Robertson of Georgia, where J.D. was born 1840.  His Mother's people were named Millner.  His parents moved to Florida just prior to the outbreak of the Seminole Indian War in 1856, when the Indians came to their community and killed two children.  J.D. and two brothers started without delay to join Col. Leslie who was trying to capture the Indians.  Mr. Robertson remained with this Company until the last of the Seminole tribe was taken in 1858.  In 1860 his parents moved to Jonesboro, Ark., where on 12/22/1861 he married Miss Eliza C. Dibble. She was born on the shores of Lake Michigan near Milwaukee on 5/3/1839.  In 1867 they came to Johnson County, Texas, settling on the farm of Jose Metze, west of old Pleasant Point.

Mr. Robertson, being a bricklayer by trade, here built and burned a kiln, the first brick that was made in Johnson County, and Mrs. Robertson taught a small school on the Metze farm, the first school in Cahill area.

In 1882 Mr. Robertson came to Alvarado and bought a small farm just west of the College, and continued his trade of making and laying brick, and many walls and chimneys yet stand as evidence of work well done.

In 1888, being advised to take an invalid son to New Mexico; he started in a wagon following the Ft. Worth & Denver RR. which was then under construction.  Passing Amarillo, which at the time consisted of only 2 or 3 shacks and a boxcar for a station.  At  Tascosa they turned into New Mexico, where they entered a valley of wonderful possibilities and grand scenery.  They passed Mesa Rotunda, with its many caves, and found a location in the Charco Valley, where they built a cabin of pine and cedar logs.  This was 140 miles from Amarillo - their nearest railroad point, and there were only two other families in the whole community.   It was a "health country".  But occasionally there was a death; there was no doctor, preacher or priest.  Mrs. Robertson conducted several funerals as best she could, one of them being a neighbor living 40 miles away.  At another time she was called to visit a sick lady 60 miles away, and thus she served her people, far and near as doctor, nurse, minister and midwife, and she was a postmistress.  On one occasion they were returning from Liberty, their post office 23 miles away, and were attacked by a large pack of wolves.  Mrs. Robertson shot into the bunch, which checked them, and by plying whip to their horse managed to escape.

Later he built a large and substantial rock house, hauling the doors, windows, flooring and shingles from Amarillo 140 miles away. 

During the summer months he followed his trade, and worked two seasons for the big syndicate "A.I.T." ranch on the Texas plains, and spent one season building coke ovens at coal mines in New Mexico.

More settlers came into the valley, and the need of a post office was met by the appointment of Mrs. Robertson as Postmistress, and she named the Post Office Dobson, Mr. Robertson's middle name.  (The writer finds the place yet on the map, about 20 miles southward from Tucumcari.)  Mrs. Robertson had to drive 20 miles to the nearest Justice of the Peace to make her bond as Postmistress, and the post office was in her home.

 

 

While Mr. Robertson was away at work, as above stated, Mrs. Robertson and children were alone most of the time, but had good neighbors, even the cowboys proved to be quite gentlemanly and kind to them.  Some of these were graduates from eastern colleges, and one was the son of a well known Texas U.S. Senator.

After the full recovery of the invalid son, Mr. Robertson and family returned to Alvarado, where he lived until 3 or 4 years age, when they went to Chicago for his health, and later went to the Colorado mountains for the same purpose, but returned to Ft. Worth were he died in 1921, and where Mrs. Robertson remained till her death 4/22/23 at the age of 84.

After the full recovery of the invalid son, Mr. Robertson and family returned to Alvarado, where he lived until 3 or 4 years ago, when they went Chicago for his health, and later to the Colorado mountains for the same purpose, but returned to Ft. Worth where he died in 1921, and where Mrs. Robertson remained til her death 4/22/1923 at the age of 84.  Remembered and love by all who knew her, and them, the writer here gives testimony to his high appreciation of these good people, and especially the high literary attainments and culture of the deceased Mrs. Robertson.

Copy of a letter from Mrs J. T. Whitaker to W.G. Robertson, provided by Shirley "Gail" Swenson.

 

                                        Mrs. J.T. Whitaker

                                        1813 11th Street

                                        Meridian, Mississippi

                                        April 4, 1940

Mr. W. G. Robertson

694 North Church Street

Spartanburg, South Carolina

 

Dear Cousin,

 

        I was so very glad to hear from you, and regret very much that you had such a time locating me, also that you have been so long in doing so.  I would like to know more about my ancestors, I have copied all the information I could find in my parents' bible and am enclosing same.  i hope it will help you some in getting a more complete record.

 

        As you will see from the births and marriages, Anna Cora Robertson Moorhead was my mother; and Sarah Ann Milner Robertson was my Grandmother, who was from Oglethorpe County, Georgia.  Grandfather, Elijah D. Robertson, was a fine brick-mason and did brick work on several bridges over rivers, etc., and I notice from a newspaper write up (copy enclosed) that his oldest son followed his footsteps.

 

        Walter Robertson is dead, but the following are his sisters and brothers: Mrs. R. W. Poole, #5 63rd. St., Birmingham, AL., Mrs. Minnie Moore, #5 63rd St., Birmingham, AL., Mrs. G. W. Miles, Atmore, Al., and John Robertson, Senatobia, Miss.

 

        Grandfather Robertson, Grandmother Robertson and Aunt Lou and her baby and two of Aunt Fanny's and Uncle Plato's children are buried in the Beth Salem Cemetery in old Boligee on the same lot my Mother and father are buried on.   There aren't any markers on any of their graves and that is why the preacher couldn't find them.  I want to have stones put on all the graves if I ever am able to do so.

 

        My Mother always kept up with every one of her family, brothers and sisters, as long as she lived.  She died April the 19th 1921 and I have sort of lost tract of most of them since.  I never saw Grandfather Robertson, but after his death Grandmother lived with my Mother, her baby child, till her death in 1936.  I was a thirteen year old girl when she died, but I still remember lots of things she told us kids about her past life before and during the war.  I have some pictures of Grandfather and grandmother that I prize very highly.  They must have been taken in their later years for the one of Grandmother looks exactly like she did when she died.   I still retain a very bright picture in my mind of just how she looked for she and I were wonderful pals for we both loved outdoors and we rambled and rambled, just us two, as long as she was able.   I still go over to the old home about twice a year and have all the graves cleaned off.  It isn't much over fifty miles.  I am going over there this Monday, April 8th, to have the graves cleaned off before Memorial Day, the 26th of April.

 

        I could probably tell you a good bit more if I could see and talk to you face to face.  It seems that several of Grandmother's brothers were Baptist preachers, and that one brother had the first gin in Oglethorpe County, Georgia.  I am today writing the Circuit Clerk of that county for what information he can give me on the Robertson family.  As you have no doubt heard, the government is doing quite a bit of this kind of work now, and I am hoping they have accumulated quite a lot of information.  I will let you have all information I get as soon as possible.

 

        I am sorry I can not give you any more information on our family tree further back than I have.  If you have or get any information I don't have, I will appreciate your sending me a copy of it as one of my daughters wants to try and trace our family tree as far back as possible.  If I get anything else, I will send it to you. 

        Any time you or any of the family are over this way, drop in to see us.  And, should you ever go over to Charleston, S.C. I have a daughter, Mrs L.W. Secrest, at 117 Ashley Avenue.

        Hoping to hear from you again soon, and with best wishes, I am,

 

Sincerely,

Mrs. J.T. Whitaker

(Anna Cora Moorhead Whitaker)

 

 

 

 

P.S.  I found a letter of Mother's from Charlie Robertson's(Aunt Vick's son) and enclosing it for you to read if you wish.  Please take care of it and return to me.

        Aunt Victoria Robertson's children were named Thomas, Edward, Emily and Charles.  They were all living in New York City the last I heard.

        Aunt Ella married a Martin and the only children that I remember were Paul and Lillie.  Aunt Ella's husband was a brother of Uncle Plato's wife.  Uncle Plato's and Aunt Fanny's children were named Cora, Delia and John.  Cora was the one you mentioned in your letter.  They all lived in Howell, Ark. and Little Rock.  Maybe Cora could supply those.

        Uncle John and Lida, his wife, lived in Texas.  They had several children but I only know the names of one, Edward.

 

        Uncle Willie married a Miss Belle Saunders of Sumpter County, Alabama.  They had eight boys but only two lived, namely Henry and Jim Robertson, who lived in Oklahoma.

        Aunt Vick married her cousin, also a Robertson.

Dear Jimmy

 

Glad to meet you and from what source did you come?  Thanks for the invitation but at the present time I don't think we will be there - Jep stays so weak - we'll let you know in due time - however I do hope we can make it. I just can't remember having met you.  Now concerning us - Jep & I both are 91 - have only Max - he is 63 and has a lovely wife - both active in our Presbyterian church, no children.  Max retired from the steel mill in Gary, Ind. and Alice retired from teaching kindergarten.  As you may know most Robertsons are or were brick masons.  We have a nurse living with us- so we are well cared for and Max lives near. 

 

Hope to be seeing but it doesn't look probable now.

Obituary

J.T. Barrett, 96, pioneer loved farm

By Amy Sheehan

News-Press Staff writer

December 1, 1989

 

Longtime Fort Myers resident Jeptha T. "J. T. " Barrett, who at one time owned and cultivated all the land now as Miner's Corner died Tuesday at 96.

"All the land from McGregor Boulevard to Kelly Road - he owned it.  Of course, it was known as Barrett's Corner then," said his son, Max Barrett of Fort Myers.  "He had a little grocery store on it that his nephew Howard Barrett ran before he sold it."

The years Mr. Barrett spent caring for his crops were among the best in his life, his son said.

"If anyone ever did love farming, he did. When he got up in the morning to go into the fields, he was just the happiest thing in the world.  The noise of a potato digger or a potato planter were the most beautiful sounds to him," he said.  "In the middle of the night, if he heard a little rain, he'd get up and put on his slicker so he could go dig ditches or whatever was needed.  He definitely put in 150 percent."

Born in Quitman, Ark., Mr. Barrett worked as a young man making deliveries in a mule-drawn cart. 

In a 1985 News-Press interview Mr. Barrett described meeting his wife at a party.

"I got her to dance a jig with me.  I fell in love that night," he said.

The two were married in 1915 and celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary before her death.

During the early years of their marriage, the couple eked out a living farming corn and cotton in Arkansas, while Mr. Barrett's brother-in-law, a Fort Myers real estate broker, tempted them with tales of Florida's fertile soil and clement climate. 

Unable to resist, the couple loaded up their model-T Ford and moved here in 1925 with their 6-year-old son, Max.  For the first 10 years, Mr. Barrett worked as foreman on Lyman Frank's farm, making around $25 a week.  But after hearing about a government loan program for farmers, he quit his job and with a borrowed $700, bought a cow and a mule and rented 10 acres of land where he grew eggplant, squash and cucumbers.  After some years, he decided to concentrate on potatoes, the thin-skinned, white-fleshed variety known as Red Bliss.

He later bought those acres, the first of many land purchases, including the 7-acre parcel from McGregor Boulevard to Kelly road.  Known for years as Barrett's Corner, it was renamed Miner's Corner after it was sold in 1967.

"I bought that land for $7000 - $200 down and the rest $100 a year without interest.  That's how cheap land was in the late'30's," he recalled in the 1985 interview.

When he was 65, Mr. Barrett retired.  He and his wife moved to a house they designed and built, and he dedicated himself to a variety of quiet pastimes including fishing, tinkering with electronics and listening to music, said his daughter-in-law Alice Barrett of Fort Myers.

 

Church was a big part of his life as well and he was a devoted member of the First Presbyterian Church in Fort Myers, his son said.

"He was a devout Christian person - a very compassionate man. He really worried about others," he said.

His survivors include his son Max of Fort Myers and several nieces and nephews.

Visitation will be between 7 and 9 p. m. Friday at the Harvey-Engelhardt Funeral Home, 1600 Colonial Blvd., Fort Myers.  Mr. Barrett's Funeral will be at 2 p.m. Saturday at the First Presbyterian Church, 2438 Second St., Fort Myers, and memorial contributions in his name may be made to the church at that address.

Dear Jimmy,

Thanks for sending me the further notice about plans for the June 22 Robertson reunion at the Civic Center in Springhill.  Had really hoped I might be able to join you for that but have found that my only daughter, who lost her husband after a lingering illness last August, has rented a beach house for that very week in order to get our immediate family in the area together so of course I will have to to be there for that.  I think grand daddy Robertson must have been officially named Willie as he went by the name of Will but my husband was always called Willie by his family members.  My husband was one of 6 children named Fred, Elizabeth, Marie, Blanch and Acree( now all deceased but my other note to you gave addresses of those I had in next generation).  My husband and I had 3 children, namely W. Glenn,  an automobile salesman in Alexandria, VA., Grace Sibley Veal, school librarian in Athens, GA., and Thomas Adger with an office for physicians' placement at Tysons' Corner in Venice, VA.  Glenn has 2 sons named William, a Sr. at Vanderbilt\T and Benjamin Adger to start college at the Univ. of NC(Chapel Hill) next fall.  Sibley also has 2 sons named James McDonald and Ransom Robertson who attend the University of Georgia.  Tom was my 11 year late blessing before my Willie died in 1956 and he now has 2 daughters named Jessie Lan and Megan.

 

I'd really appreciate some report from you about the reunion and hope it proves so successful that we follow up. I might be able to attend would be forth coming later.

 

Sincere good wishes with your exports and do let me know if you are ever coming into the area so we can meet personally.

 

Signed Grace L. Robertson

Letter from Willie's Wife  Dated February 20, 1985

 

Dear J.R.

 

Sincere thanks for your personal note of Feb. 10 along with the notice of planned Robertson family reunion at Springhill, LA., possibly June 22.  Will you believe that I have a good friend here in Chester, SC who has sisters living in Ruston and Spearsville who have been wanting us to come visit them - so that looms as a real possibility that i may find it possible to join you then?  Of course lots of things hinge on that possibility, but I was so glad to hear of those advance plans and want you to know of my interest and desire to be included as a part of the Robertson clan.  Grand Daddy Will (as we called him after our first two children were born) was one of my favorite people, who I admired a great deal.  Was really sorry to have missed seeing your uncle Samuel when he came by and left a note, then later wrote me that he hoped to get back in this area again in connection with his work.  I am enclosing some information about other Robertson connections in this area with whom I keep in touch.  There will be no need to send notices of the reunion to my three children as I will share what information you send me with them but doubt very seriously there would be any chance of their considering a trip your way at that time - but having names and addresses of relatives is something we all need to keep abreast with, I feel.  My younger son, Tom's wife is expecting a baby within the month, so that is something for us all to look forward to.  I also have 4 grandsons between the ages 18 and 21, two each by the other children, then a dear little grand daughter born Christmas Day in 1977.  Altho in my 70s I continue to play golf and enjoy some traveling, including a short but delightful winter since Christmas. so continue grateful for reasonably good health following my 18 years of work with the Dept. of Social Services after Bill's early death while the children were still of school age.  Will look forward to hearing further from you as later plans develop.

 

Sincerely and appreciatively,

 

Signed Grace L. Robertson

I have had recent phone contact with Aunt Annie in Fort Myers, FL. for encouraging report that both she and Uncle Jep continue in surprisingly good health.  Their son Max and his wife Alice's move back there several years ago has been a real God - send for their retirement years.   I have written her of my letter from J.R. with notice of the planned reunion and urging that Max might be able to plan to attend.   I so enjoyed visiting in the Barrett's home several years ago at the same time Glenn and his wife Lucille were also there as they tried to brief me some on some of the Arkansas and Louisiana connections.  I do have a good bit of  family information compiled by W.G. Sr. during his declining health years, which I am now looking over with added interest as to what he found out of some background and the descendants of the 12 children by Samuel Robertson - and which might prove helpful to others in the future, so would try to bring a resume of that if it looms at all possible for me to attend the reunion.

Notes for WILLIE OWEN ROBERTSON:

Twin City Tribune, Wed., August 29, 1979

This is an article by Rosalie  Warren

 

Robertson:Michelangelo of Brick

        The Italians had their Michelangelo - but Phillips County has its Wille Owen Robertson, an artist when it comes to laying brick.

        When Robertson lays a brick patio, walk or driveway, it surely is a work of art - and just like the creations of artists with easel and brush, many people can recognize his work at a glance.

        He's 70 years young - and has been laying brick for 52 of those 70.  it's a family affair, however, his two brothers - R.D. Robertson and Ray Robertson-- bricklayers, along with his late father Reese Dodson Robertson, his grandfather Samuel Robertson and his great grandfather, T.H.B. McClure.

 

        Not only does Robertson lay brick - he tells good stories.  His grandfather, Samuel Robertson, fought in the Battle of Helena on the side, of course, of the Confederacy, and Wille tells this story:

During the battle, he says, his grandfather men were camped on Crowley's Ridge near Helena.  In addition to having been caught in a downpour, they were also hungry-- and Samuel set about to remedy at least part of their problem.  He spotted a Yankee gunboat docked on the Mississippi.  He slipped through the lines, boarded the gunboat, and stole two sides of meat.  He put them under his slicker and made it safely back to camp.

        After the war, Samuel went back to his home at Heber Springs, made his brick, fired them in his own kiln, and built houses -- many of which are still standing.

        He tells another story of his great grandfather putting up Frank and Jessie James for the night.  According to Willie, the two outlaws came to his great grandfather's home near Heber Springs and wanted a place to stay for the night.  He gave Frank and Jessie supper and breakfast, fed their horses, and never let on that he knew their identity.  His great grandfather said the James boys were just looking for a place to stay and moved on the next morning.

        In 1924 and 1925, Waverly Woods and the Crestwood subdivisions were being developed and Willie and his father came to the area and laid bricks for many of the homes.

        Some contractors with whom he worked included E.T. Walker, Harvey Walters, Val Oldham, and Kesl and Sons.  But wages were only $1.12 per hour so Willie left Philips County and went to Memphis, where he worked on many buildings.  He worked at the Naval Air Station, the power plant, and in residential areas where 20 to 25 homes were being constructed at a time.

        He served two years in the Navy and was discharged a Lieutenant.  He also taught brick masonry to veterans in Memphis.

        He has worked all over the state of Arkansas laying brick on Post Offices, Courthouses, school buildings and laid most of the stone on the fine arts building at Monticello College.  He laid brick on many schools in Russellville and Sherffield, Alabama and also Charleston, Indiana.

        In and around Helena, Willie helped his father build the fine walls in the old Perkins(Chrysler) plant in the 1920s - where Mohawk now stands, the Long Bell Hardwood flooring Mill(where H&M Lumber Company is now), the Greco Service station (1927) which is the Two State Monument Company now, and the old Plaza where the Public library is now located.

        In later years, the 1950s, he laid brick on the J C Penney building,  the Bobbie Brooks Garman factory (where the fair was held for years and also used as a prisoner of war camp in World War II), and the Barger Cafe.

        Some of the homes Willie has laid brick on is the Jessie Peter (brother of Miss Lily Peter) home at Ratio now owned by Brooks Griffin, Earl Wells Jr. on Perry; Harland Ross, Carlos Smith and J.W. Dennison homes on Stonebrook Road,  the Earnest Cunningham and Roy Warren on Valley Drive and John King Jr. on Avalon Place in Helena, just to mention a few.

        Willie has a very good assistant, Mr. Ralph Reddick who is 82 working working with him.  Mr. Reddick has assisted Willie and his father for sixteen years.  He mixes the mortar with the care of a fine gourmet cook, and Willie knows the consistency will be just right.

        The brick Willie donated to the West Helena Museum was retrieved from the old (1800) Jim Bush buildings being torn down behind the First National Bank to make way for a parking lot.  The buildings were later owned and occupied by Helena Electric Company and the James Zambie Cafe, until they were razed several years ago.  The brick was probably made by slave labor and is hand made with the print of the paw of a dog in it.  There was a brick factory at one time in Helena.

        Willie and his wife live on North Sixth Street in West Helena.  He has tried to retire because he loves fishing more than laying brick, but people keep calling him for his artistic work.  He says, I don't hunt work, it finds me.

Notes for JAMES ROLAND ROBERTSON, SR.:

James grew up in Shreveport, Louisiana.  Ceder Grove was the area of Shreveport he lived.  105 east 72 St.

James served in the Navy SeaBees during World War II.  He was a Builder First Class Petty Officer.

 

James was known as "Tubby" by his friends and family.

 

James was a brick mason.  He worked for International Paper Company from 1950 to 1975 when he died.  He was a foreman in the plant, but still worked with his tools. Before working for IP, he worked construction as a brick mason across Louisiana and Arkansas.

James was also a founding member of the Springhill Association for Retarded Citizens.  He served as President and other offices.  He was also a member of Louisiana Association for Retarded Citizens.  He held every office but president.  Along with his wife, Hilda,  started Camp LARCEE, a summer camp for people with mental retardation.  This camp ran from 1959 to 1978.  He spent two weeks of vacation each of those years at camp.  Camp LARCEE provided a place for people with mental retardation to have fun and recreation.  It also provided a training ground for people who wanted to work with the disabled.  Over the years a college course was taught to the counselors.  They could get two hours college credit.  Many of the counselors went on to become teachers or go to work in the disability field.  All of the family worked at camp. 

 

James also helped many people in the community.  He along with his family helped people whose homes had burned down rebuild their homes.

 

James and Hilda were honored by the American Association on Mental Retardation- Louisiana  with a "Significant Contributions of the 20th Century"  recognition award August 5, 1999

The article about them reads

"Hilda and James Robertson(Jimmy) was a young family with a small son, soon to become the parents of a baby girl that happened to have Down's syndrome.  This even changed the lives of this family and the entire community of Springhill, LA.  The efforts of these two people extended to the entire state of Louisiana and other southern states.  As their little girl grew older, the medical community suggested that the family put their child in St. Mary's School.  They packed her suitcases and went to the school.  They returned home with their little girl unable to part from her.  Their world begin a lifetime involvement of providing services for her and others with disabilities.

 

Hilda and Jimmy started the Evergreen Presbyterian program.  The facility was started with a few boys in an abandoned school.  Now, Evergreen Presbyterian Ministries has programs in five states serving over 600 people with disabilities an array of services.

 

Hilda and Jimmy were involved in getting the first public school special education class started in Webster Parish.  Their little girl was enrolled in the class with ten other children.  Now there are several classes in every school.

 

They were both involved in the local and state Associations for Retarded Citizens with each one serving in leadership positions in both organizations.  They both served on the Board of Directors in both organizations.  Three generations of Robertson's have now served on the State ARC Board of Directors.

 

The local ARC with the leadership of the Robertson's opened SPARC Center Workshop in Springhill to provide training for the older person who needed job skills for employment.  They now serve 65 people in a variety of jobs.

 

Their next major project was Camp LARCEE - a two week recreation program for children with mental retardation.  It came into existence in 1959 with twelve campers.  Counselors were college students that received three hours of college credit for working two weeks at the camp.  In 1978, there were 160 campers attending the last camp at Lake Bisteneau.

 

After Jimmy's death, Hilda had a burning desire to provide for their daughter's future.  Typical of Hilda, she went to the local bank and borrowed the money to purchase a house and convert it into a co-ed group home.  This was the first co-ed group home in the state and the only group home in Springhill.  Bell Oaks, Inc. was formed with their daughter as the first occupant.  Now there are three group homes and a large array of services for people with mental retardation in the Springhill area.

 

Hilda and Jimmy worked tirelessly to develop programs.  They enlisted family, friends, coworkers, businessmen, union and management people, politicians, and students to assist in this work.  This remarkable couple met their simple goal.  That goal was to provide a network of excellent services for the person with disabilities to help them gain their independence, enhance their self-esteem and dignity and personal worth as a member of society."

 

 

 

 

This is a letter that James wrote his mom and dad in 1944.  James R. Robertson, Jr. has the original Letter.

 

                                                        Berkley, California

                                                        November 25, 1944

 

Dearest Mom and Dad,

 

        I am sorry I haven't written you before now, but you know me when it comes to writing letters, I just never seem to get around to it. This evening I borrowed one of the boys typewriters and am using the good old hunt and peck system to write.  Maybe I'll get it written this time before I quit, like I usually do when I start a letter to you.

 

        How's Jimmy's foot where he dropped a brick on it? God only knows how much I would love to see the little wart.  You'll never know how lonesome a fellow gets to see his own son.  I have it all figured out.  When I come home, I am going to spend the entire day there just having fun together and maybe I'll buy him a complete outfit of clothes.  That is all I have been able to think of for the past several weeks.  It is kind of hard now to realize I have a son, I've been away from him so long now.  I can't even begin to imagine how he looks.  The most outstanding thing I always remember about him was the cute way he used to tell me, " Me fix it Daddy" and I met Hilda and him in the train station that time, or rather when they met me and he said, "Hi, Tubby", gosh it hurts to remember those little things about him, but if I didn't have those sweet memories, what would I have?  When this old war is over, I'm going to have a whole house full of them, dozens and dozens. Ha!

       

        I'm still stevedoring.  Working days now.  But in another week or so, I'll go nights again.  It surely gets old.  I'll be kind of glad to leave this place. I don't like California anyway.  It is always so cold and damp.  I keep a cold all the time.  I have one right now.  I'm going to the pharmacist here in camp for it every evening.. He is giving me some pills for it, so I guess it won't be long now until I am rid of it.

 

        I told the Chief the other evening that I would be glad to do anything rather than do this stevedoring.  He laughed when I said I rather keep the stoves filled with oil than do what I am doing.  I've loaded enough stuff on ships since I've been here to feed and clothe the whole of Europe and then some.  It isn't that the work is so very hard, it just gets monotonous.

 

        I know you get tired of my belly aching, but if I couldn't grip to you all, who would I gripe to?

 

        Well, folks, I guess I will close for tonight.  Got to go take a shower (cold) and get some shut-eye so I can get up when 5:30 rolls around in the morning.

 

        Give my love to Hilda and kiss Jimmy Boy for me and tell him Daddy is thinking of him and would give anything to be able to see him.

 

 

                                                        All my love, your Son,

                                                        (signed) Jim

A Loss For Springhill

 

Springhill has lost one of those citizens it cannot afford to lose. The sudden death of James (Tubby) R. Robertson will leave a gap in the ranks of those who were always willing to do something extra to make the community a better place in which to live.

 

Robertson was no political leader nor was he continually making front page news with great pronouncements.  He was a doer.  He did and did and did.

 

Listing the things he did would take pages, but two of his most shining accomplishments will live forever.

 

Robertson was one of the moving forces, probably the first and most insistent, in the founding of the Evergreen Presbyterian Vocational School.  This school, now nationally famous, was the result of months and years of night riding, sweat, and dollars from his own pocket.

 

Tubby was the founding father of Camp LARCEE. Camp LARCEE is the state-wide camp for mentally retarded children founded in 1958 at the state campgrounds at Lake Bisteneau.  He, his wife, and a handful of others begged food, funds and help from Springhill residents in order to offer the mentally retarded summer camp.  It was his concern and effort that kept the camp going during the critical formative years.  It was his labor that provided much of the equipment for the camp.  It was money from his own pocket that financed some of the ventures.

 

Camp LARCEE is now financed from all quarters and is considered a fixture in Louisiana. In fact it is a model which many other states have copied.  So strongly entrenched is the camp that several universities in Louisiana offer college credits to students who serve as counselors.

 

He was one of those people who you knew you could call on for help and it was forthcoming.  He never refused.

 

Tubby was not, as we said, a politician or a business or industrial leader.  He was a brick mason.  He was good at his trade.  One of the best.  And, he used his trade and his skills for the betterment of Springhill and the people who live here.

 

He was one of those people who carried not only his share of the load, but he also carried the load for others less inclined to care about the welfare of his fellowman.

 

His loss will leave a void not only in the lives of his family, but also in the lives of the hundreds and thousands of people around Springhill and in Louisiana that he helped in one way or another.
