Mrs. Levi Roberts Is Taken By Death

Mrs. Amanda L. Roberts, wife of the late Levi Roberts, died at her home,
Thursday, September 15th.  Funeral services were held Friday and the 
body laid to rest beneath a large mound of beautiful floral offerings,
a last tribute of love and respect, from a host of loved ones and 
friends.

Pall bearers included Messrs. N.W. Veasey, H.B. Colquitt, I.S. Bowden,
W.L. Stroup, John Bunkley and Charlie Dorsey.

Mrs. Roberts was born October 25, 1850, and was married for sixty-seven
years [sic]to Levi Roberts, who preceded her to the grave by two years
[sic], four months and one day.

She was a devoted wife and mother, and until her age and health 
prevented, she was quite active in the religious and civic life of her
community.  She was possessed of such a personality and disposition, 
that she was loved by all who knew her, and although she was not able 
to get out very much in the last few years of her life, she was always
cheerful, and uncomplaining.  Although she has gone from this world, 
the memory of her beautiful life will live on and be an inspiration to
those who knew and loved her.

She is survived by five children, two daughters and three sons, who
are Mrs. Henry Parker of DeFuniak Springs, Fla.; Mrs. Beulah Stroupe 
of Columbus, Ga. And Messrs. Daniel, Ed and Grady Roberts of this city,
besides a number of nieces, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Funeral services were held at the home and interment near Hacoda.  
Elder Malone Meredith conducted the services.

Bullard & Patrick Funeral Directors in charge.
