In company with N Nelson, a well known rancher, to whom it is said she was soon to have been married, she was going for a drive.

Mr. Nelson was thrown down and run over in his fruitless attempt to control them, and as they ran around the barn the woman was hurled out with such force as to break her ribs and injure her internally. She died about two hours after the accident. A messenger was sent for Dr Edward, who hurried to the scene, but found it impossible to do anything.

Mrs. Robertson, widow of this pioneer, recalls how she feared the Indians for they arrived not too long after the Spokane massacre for one to feel entirely safe. But her fears were hardly justified since Chief Moses and all his tribesmen were very friendly to the settlers. She recalls that when they came here there was one family near Creston—that of Frank Brown, whose ranch was so near the butte that old-timers called that high knoll Brown’s Butte. The families of George and Frank Simons, and the Carpenter and Blackfan families were among their early neighbors. Mrs. Robertson’s husband established the first ferry boat on what is now state road No. 4 Mr. and Mrs. Robertson had nine children. Their daughters, Anna and Mary, are dead. Their sons, Charles, Dave and John, farm not far from the original homestead. A daughter, Mrs. Grace Gibbs, lives at Grand Coulee; and three sons, Archie, Burt and Gordon, are Montana farmers. The mother still lives on the farm but Mr. Robertson has been dead several years.” (Wilbur Golden Jubilee: June 1939)
