Robert Milroy

Another of Rhinebeck's aged citizens was added to the list of the departed Sunday morning when Robert Milroy died, at the residence of his son John C. Milroy on West Market Street.  The deceased was born in Scotland in 1812 and came to this country when a young man.  He lived in Brooklyn for a number of years, and in 1840 moved to Lafayetteville in the town of Milan, where he resided until 1862, when he enlisted in company "C" of the 128th regiment, being the oldest man in the command.  At the close of the war he settled in Rhinebeck and carried on a tailor business.  The funeral services were held at the home of his son, on Tuesday at 2:30, Rev. W.A. Mackey officiating.  The interment was in charge of Armstrong Post No. 104 G.A.R.  Francis S. Keese Camp No. 22, Sons of Union Veterans, also attended the services in a body.
