Charles Henry (Charlie) Robertson (1875–1935)

The death occurred yesterday at his residence in Kogarah of Mr. Charles Henry Robertson, a former president of the Loco. Enginemen's Union.

He was for 11 years president of the organisation, and had been a very active officer for a long period. About two years ago, owing to ill-health, he was forced to relinquish his position in the railways.

In the Labor movement he had a wide circle of friends and admirers, having been identified with it nearly all his life. He took a keen interest in the work of various leagues with which he was connected.

The funeral leaves his late residence, "Pemboka," Carnarvon Street, Kogarah, to-day, at 2.15 p.m., for the crematorium, Woronora.
