Clay County Biographies

A.W. ROBERTSON, M.D

A.W. ROBERTSON, M.D., physician and surgeon, Prathersville.

Dr. Robertson's family, or rather his father's family, came to this state from KY., and located in Platte county in 1847, where they still reside. The doctor was born there on the 9th of May, 1847. Reared in that county, he had good school advantages in youth and acquired a good general English education.

In 1867, he began the study of medicine under DRS. WILSON & BONIFANT, at Weston, MO (Platte county), and in the fall of the next year matriculated at the St. Louis Medical College, where he took a full course of two terms, graduating with credits in 1871.

Dr. Robertson located at Prathersville immediately after his graduation in 1871. (There is a sentence missing in this paragraph). However, he is by no means an avaricious man and studies far more the science of his profession than the means of accumulating property.

He is a thoroughly capable and skillful physician, and is so regarded by all that know him who are qualified to judge of his professional attainments.

February 3, 1873, he was married to MISS LILLIAN PIXLEY, of this county.
They have 3 children: FRED, EDNA & CURTIS.
The Doctor and wife are members of the Baptist church.
