Gravestone 		For more about Henry Robertson's death, click here.

Louis Robertson had not seen his family in England since he ran away from home as a young boy of 12 (c.1884) and worked his way to America as a "cabin boy" on a merchant sailing vessel. In later years he corresponded with his brothers from his home in Canada and in 1950 -1951 he sailed back to England to pay a last visit with those who were left. He died shortly after his return to Canada.

During that visit, he made this hand sketch of his parent's gravestone at their resting place in Rosary Cemetery, Norwich, England. It reads as follows:

Also of
