William N. Robertson

His family emigrated to Australia in 1873 to improve Mrs Robertson's health and moved to Dalby and later Ipswich, Queensland where his father was a Presbyterian minister.

[7] His funeral was held at St Andrews Presbyterian Church in Creek Street after which he was cremated at Mount Thompson Crematorium.

[2][7] Robertson received numerous awards and held leading roles in many organisations, including:[2] Since 1940, an annual prize has been given in his name to a medical student of the University of Queensland.

[8] Following a bequest of his daughter Clara Joan Roe in 1984, an annual scholarship is presented in his name to assist with medical research.
