About two years ago, I asked cousin Hal where our Great Uncle George
W. Robershaw was buried? Hal knew from talking to cousin Robert that he was
buried in a cemetery on highway 202 in the Anniston, Alabama area. So one Saturday,
Hal and his wife Dora set out exploring. The first cemetery they found on highway
202 was Pine Grove Cemetery!
This cemetery is on the side of a steep hill. Some of it was to
steep for Hal to climb! About eight hours later Hal and Dora were successful
in finding wife Sara’s headstone. In plain view was George W. Robershaw
grave beside hers where his had settled with no marker. Later Hal and Dora would return and clean the site and Gene Reid
would bring a truck load of dirt for fill.
Hal and I set out to raise funds for a headstone for George W.
Robershaw, who was one of our three Family Patriarchs. On Wednesday, June
13, 2007 all of Hal’s hard work came to fruition. I would like to THANK
ALL who helped in this endeavor! Cousin, Ron
