• Name	Ellen M. Robeson
  Birth	1828	Frostburg, Allegany County, Maryland
  Gender	Female
  Death	14 Feb 1905	Frostburg, Allegany County, Maryland
  Notes	The Garlitz and Hetz History by Madeline Maust records Ellen Robeson as the daughter of William Robeson and Ellen Margaret (Preston) Robeson who was born in 1798 and sometime after the birth of Ellen was widowed. She then married Lightfoot Durst, a widower, in 1835 or 36. Maust writes, "With their combined families, they had eleven children. Lightfoot only lived until 1840 and then Ellen Margaret made her home with Morgan Robeson, her son. She was still living during the Civil War, but died then or soon after, and was buried in the old cemetery, just south of St. Ann's at Avilton, MD. She was thirty years younger than her second husband Lightfoot Durst. Enoch and Herman Robeson families are descendants of her son J. William Robeson, Jr. While Lightfoot was still living he had a mill called "Little Thunders" which was built in 1830. He is buried in the old cemetery on the hill above Salisbury, PA." A posting on a genealogy site offered the following query: "I found an orphan's court record for Ellen Robeson as a ward of an O'Brian, also in a separate item a Morgan Robeson as a ward of the same O'Brian. Later Ellen evidently married Israel Garlitz as he takes over and manages her property. In one such record Ellen is said to be the heir of a William Robeson/Robboson, etc. Is there a connection to the O'Brian family and the Robeson?" No answers were offered. In a further note, it was decided that Mr. Maust had confused the Preston and Winters names and that what I have as record is correct. January 24, 2011 She died on 10 Feb 1905 at the age of 78 in Avilton, Garrett Co., Maryland. Frostburg, February 14 - The funeral of Mrs. Ellen Garlitz, whose death took place Friday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. C. B. McKenzie, near Avilton, Md., a few miles west of this place, after a lingering illness of several days, from old age and general debility, took place Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the residence of Mrs. McKenzie, interment being made at that place, the Methodist minister officiating. The deceased was the widow of the late Israel Garlitz and was well known and highly respected by everybody who knew her. Mrs. Garlitz was formerly a Miss Robeson and was born near this place in 1828, residing in this vicinity for seventy-seven years. She is survived by several children who reside about here. The deceased lost her husband several years ago. Mrs. Garlitz was a remarkable woman for her age, being very active, and was an interesting and entertaining talker for one so advanced in age. The Evening Times, Cumberland, February 14, 1905 She was buried on 12 Feb 1905 in St. Ann's Catholic Cemetery, Avilton, Garrett Co., Maryland.
