Read More	Samuel Robertson and Mary Jane Semple were married 15 September 1836, Carroll County, Ohio. Died, in Scott Township, Mahaska County, Iowa, Nov. 10, 1901, Samuel Robertson aged 93 years and 21 days. Samuel Robertson was born Cannonsburg(sic), Washington County, Pa., Oct. 19, 1808. Then there was but seventeen states in the Union and Thomas Jefferson was President of the United States. His parents then moved to Westmoreland County, Pa. when he was quite young. They lived there 12 years and then moved to Carroll County, Ohio. He was married to Miss Mary Jane Semple, Sept. 15, 1837, who departed this life March 26, 1887. To this union was born five sons and three daughters, of whom two sons and two daughters still survive him. In the fall of 1863 with his then young family, he moved from Carroll County, Ohio, to Iowa, then the far west, by wagon, there being no railroads in the west in those early times, and settled Mahaska County, ten miles northwest of Oskaloosa, then a very small place. He located on a farm in Scott Township where he has continually resided for 48 years. In his early manhood he joined the Presbyterian Church of Waynesburg, Ohio, and when he moved west he connected himself with the same church at Olivet near his home, in which faith he lived and died. In his youthful manhood he was Whig politically and in the year of 1861 he became a Lincoln Republican; in that party he voted as long as he lived. By the death of Mr. Robertson this neighborhood loses a kind neighbor and a good citizen and his family is left to mourn the loss of a kind father, the church a faithful and devoted member, all a trustworthy friend in whose integrity none ever had a cause to doubt.--By J. Moody
