McLarin, of Fairburn. Mr. Roberts was the * of twenty-two children, seventeen of whom are yet living. Mrs. McLarin leaves her husband and six children, all of whom are about grown. Mr. Roberts has been suffering for some time with paralysis, and his death seemed almost inevitable, yet no one thought on Friday last when Mrs. McLarin left Campbell County and her husband and children to be by the side of her aged father that her life would be extinguished with that of her father. As soon as she found her father was dead, she fell across him exclaiming: “Father I can’t give you up!” and soon she was dead. The entire community is sad, and we extend to the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy. The remains of Mr. Roberts will be buried at this place, and those of Mrs. McLarin in Campbell County. Additional Comments: * Transcriber note: A word was left out of this sentence. Most likely it should read "Mr. Roberts was the father of twenty-two children, seventeen of whom are yet living." I'm not a researcher of this family and don't have any further information.
