Notes - Uncle Bob worked in the City Controllers Office. He was also a plumber and watch maker. He was active in Masonic Organizations. According to family tales he would travel by bus to various Shriner functions taking a fresh shirt on a hanger and his tooth brush in his pocket. He never married as his girl friend was catholic and as a Protestant Orangeman that was a big taboo. During the second world war he served in California as a CB. He is buried in the Veteran's plot in Highwood Cemetery North Side Pittsburgh. Uncle Bob lived near his sister, Sarah McNally on the north side. According to my father, Louis P. Drollinger, Bob had a cousin Eddie Robinson whose father, George went back to Ireland. His uncle Thomas Robinson is buried in Uniondale. 1920 census has him as 19 and a printer in a factory. 1930 census has him as a clerk in a bank living with his mother, Elizabeth, and his brother, William.
