Kov. W. S. Kobertsou, a son of Kcv. Samuel 

 Kobertson.ofthe Presbyterian Church, was born 

 in nuntington, L. I., January 11, 1820. Ho 

 fitted for college in various academies iu Now 

 York State, and graduated from Uuiou Col- 

 lege, Schenectady, in 1813. After going two- 

 thirds tin ough a course of medicine, he decided 

 to adopt teaching as his profession, in which ho 

 became an enthusiastic worker and to which 

 ho devoted his life. 



In 1819 ho olTered himself as a mission.ary to 

 tho Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, 

 was accepted for their work among tlio In- 

 dians, and was sent as principal of tho Tulla- 

 bassoo Manual Labor Bo.irding-School among 

 tho Creeks, iu which work ho continued while 

 ho lived, with the exception of five years' in- 

 terruption from the war, during which he

taught in other places. In the fall of 18CJ he 

 returned to the Crooks, having bi^en ordained 

 as a mini.stor, just before his return. In addi- 

 tion to most diligent work as a teacher, ho had 

 jireviously prepared a Creek First Header for 

 tho press, "Come to Jesus," translated at his 

 expense by a pupil, J. McKillop, and a tract on 

 the Sabbatli ; besides getting the Crook Second 

 Header nearly ready for the press. 



While waiting for tlio renewal of relations 

 between tho United States Government and 

 tho Creeks, ho employed himself in i)reaching 

 aud Sunday-school work, and in i)reparing now 

 editions of Creek books, besides tho Epistles of 

 John, Hon. S. W. aud llev. T. W. Ferryman, 

 half-brothers of his former interpreter, Itev. 

 D Winslett, being liis trau.slators. Ho later 

 attended to tho publishing of tho little Creek 

 paper, " Our Monthly," for four years. This 

 was printed on a hand-piess by hi.s young son, 

 aided by one or two school-boys, and it gave 

 the Creeks a very strong stimulus towards 

 reading thoir own language. 



In 1870, having gone east to recruit his health, 

 tho Uniteil States Government placed him in 

 charge of the Indian educational exhibit at 

 the Centennial Exposition, where ho spent a 

 month, greatly increasing his knowledge of 

 and interest in the Indiana. 



Tho "Indian International Fair" was an 

 object of earnest work wiih him from its foun- 

 dation to the time of his death, as he felt tho 

 support of industrj' to be so important among 

 tho Indians. 



December 19, 1880, the school building was 

 destroyed by fire, which was followed by work, 

 exposure, and disappointment, which jtroved 

 too much for his strength, and Juno 26, 1881, 

 he died at the age of aixty-ono. He is buried 

 at Park Hill, Ind. T. 



April 10, 1850, he was married to Ann Eliza, 

 daughter of Rev. S. A. Worcester, D. D., mis- 

 sionary of tho A. B. C. F. M. among tho Chero- 

 kees.
