OLD-TIME RECOLLECTIONS No. XLII. (column written by Francis McConaughy, "A Neighbor")
"Brother Robert graduated in Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia (the same college where we all did) in 1849 and settled in Saltsburg and died there of a malignent fever the 19th of October 1851, in the 26th year of his age. He cured six or seven cases of the same fever before taking it himself, and all that took it after his death, died which shows his good skill in the treatment. This death was the first in the family and most truly sorely lamented, as he was a very genial and talented member of the family. Mother staid with him most of the time during his sickness, also James from Mt. Pleasant, while I went twice to see him remaining over night, also from West Newton visiting brother James' patients while he was staying at Saltsburg. He was brought to the old homestead over night and buried in the old cemetery at Ligonier where he rests along side of our parents, awaiting the morning of the great Resurrection Day at the sound of the last trump."
