"As a result of a gunshot wound accidently inflicted, Elliott Robertson, age 19, son of Charles A. H. Robertson, of Travilah this county, died in a Washington hospital Wednesday of last week.
While hauling wood on his father's place, young Robertson carried his gun along to take a shot at a hawk. Noticing such a bird as he drove along the road, he started to pick up his gun and in drawing the weapon towards him the hammer struck some object and the gun discharged.
The load tore away a portion of the young man's hand and entered his leg. He was hurried to the hospital but blood poisoning which was the cause of death developed. Buried Rockville Union Cemetery, lot 31, section H, Montgomery County, Maryland."
