Robertson Family Lot at St. Joseph's Cemetery

The Robertson family lot is located in Section D, Lot 21 at St. Joseph's Cemetery in Sandusky, Ohio. The many stones in this lot honor the memory of several of the extended family members of William Robertson, who was an early Sandusky grocer. The Robertson grocery was at what is now 149 East Water Street in Sandusky. Mr. Robertson resided on Columbus Avenue in a building which still stands. After William Robertson retired, his sons carried on in the family business.
