The Huntsville Weekly Democrat, 19 December 1883
   Capt. WILLIAM M. ROPER died at his residence in Madison Co., Ala., on 
Sunday, Dec. 2, 1883, aged over 80 years.
   Capt. Roper was one of the oldest residents and most esteemed citizens of 
this county.  His moral and Christian character were above reproach.  Humility, 
modesty and sterling integrity in sentiment and action were his 
characteristics, a legacy to his children and an example to the rising 
generation more precious than gold that perisheth.  He was greatly afflicted 
for years, and bore his afflictions with Christian fortitude, died in peace 
with God and man, with a bright prospect of eternal bliss in Heaven.
