Lineville Headlight
Mr. Roberts was born December the 30, 1847 married to Georgia A. Knight Feb. 
6th, 1872, and departed this life January 18, 1912, age 64 years and 19 days.
To this union were born eleven children, nine girls and two boys. Brother 
Roberts was a kind husband and a kind and affectionate father, but God in his 
wisdom saw fit to call from this time world to eternity. His funeral was 
conducted by Rev. Hawkins, after which he was deposited in the Wesobulga 
cemetery to await the resurrection. Brother Roberts was a member of the M.E. 
Church at Wesobulga. He loved his church and was a devoted Christian and a loyal 
member of our local union No 1868 of the F. E. and C. U. of A. He was a man who 
always looked for the right and discouraged the wrong. We bow in humble 
submission to the will of him who doeth all things well. To the dear companion 
and children, we would say when you look upon, his garments in the home rejoice 
to know that your Heavenly Father hath clothed him with Heavenly garment pure! 
and white. Whan you would wish, to have jour loving husband and kind father with 
you again remember that he has a house not made with hands eternal in the 
Heavens. Prepare to meet him when you too shall have past from time to eternity. 
A precious one from us is gone. A voice we loved still, A place is vacant in our 
home which never can be filled.
