Mattie Roberta McCrary Champion was born on November 20,
1881, the youngest daughter of Hiram David and Mollie
McCrary.  

The town, Roberta, which grew up around the train
depot was named for her since her father and James Mathews
gave the right-of-way for the Atlanta and Florida Railroad
Company. She married Walter Eugene Champion.  She died July
20, 1977, and is buried with her family in Salem Primitive
Baptist Church Cemetery.
