OBITUARY [probably from The Johnstown "Tribune"] -- no date

Robert S. Colbert. The above-named decedent was born in Maryland, near Hagerstown, in 1809. He was seven years old when he left Maryland and went to Virginia. He remained in that State until 1852, when he moved to Pennsylvania and settled in the vicinity of Johnstown, where he resided up to the time of his death, with the exception of four years which he and his family spent in Blair County. When the Rebellion broke out he took an active part on the side of the Union. He moved five or six families from Virginia to Pennsylvania, and changed his own residence back to Cambria County. He lived at East Conemaugh for about a year and then bought a piece of ground from Col. James Cooper, within a mile of Coopersdale, and for twenty-one years he resided there. Deceased was employed at the Rolling Mill up to within five years, although his health was not very good from the time the P.R.R. station platform fell, he being one of the victims. About three years ago his eyesight began failing. Seventeen years ago he united with the Methodist Episcopal Church under Rev. Montgomery, and was a consistent member of that denomination.
Mr. Colbert is survived by his wife and three sons and five daughters. John and William live in Coopersdale. The other son is at home. Mary is the wife of John Herdman and lives in Johnstown; Helen is the wife of William Wonderly; Ellen is Mrs. John Van and lives in Coopersdale; Kate lives in Blair County and is the wife of Samuel Burns. The fifth daughter is at home.

[a second obituary clipping follows]:

MEMOIR. Brother Robert Scott Colbert passed peacefully to his heavenly rest on Friday morning, April 8, [1887] at the advanced age of 77 years, 7 months and 7 days. It can scarcely be said that he died from any disease but rather that his physical strength gradually gave away under the weight of years; the earthly house gradually dissolved and his spirit gently passed from earth to heaven. Brother Colbert was born near Hagerstown, Md. He moved to this State in 1852. For 21 years he had lived near Coopersdale where he died. Until five years ago he had been employed at the Rolling Mill. In his best year he was a man of unusual strength. He received some injury at the time of the accident at the P.R.R. station in Johnstown after which he was not as rugged as before, about 3 years ago his eyesight began to fail and for about a year previous to his death he was totally blind. He was received into the Methodist Episcopal church 17 years ago by Bro. M.J. Montgomery since which time he had been a consistent, God-fearing Christian. He is survived by his wife and 8 sons and daughters seven of whom live in this vicinity and one in Blair county. The funeral services took place on Sunday April 10 at 1:30 P.M. The interment at the Dunkard Cemetery, a large concourse of people attending. Brother Colbert is the first to fall from our ranks during the present pastorate. Some one will be next. May we all be ready for the summons home.

Notes for REBECCA WITHEROW:
Of possible interest:

1790 MD Census: Frederick Co.

John WITHERO
Males 16+, including head of family: 2
Males under 16: 4
Females, including head of family: 5

This is apparently the only individual in the state of Maryland that comes close to the spelling WITHEROW.
