ERIC Y. ROBERTS PASSES AWAY AT HOME HERE TODAY

Eric Young Roberts, a native Brunswickian who had resided here all of his 
life, passed away unexpectedly at his home, 1609 Gloucester street, at 8 
o’clock this morning.  While Mr. Roberts had not been in the best of health 
recently, he was not confined to his bed, and his death came as a shock to 
members of his family and his many friends.  His death was attributed to a 
heart attack.

Mr. Roberts was born in Brunswick August 2, 1870, and therefore would have 
been 76 years of age on his next birthday.  For many years he was engaged in 
the furniture business in this city and later was associated for some time 
with the local office of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company.  In recent 
years, however, he engaged in the real estate and renting business.  During 
all of the years he resided in Brunswick he made an unusually large number of 
friends who will be grieved to learn of his death.

Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Myrtle Deaver Roberts, two sons, Don R. 
Roberts, of this city, Alwyn A. Roberts, of Orlando, Fla.; a sister, Mrs. S.A. 
Brockington, and two grandchildren, Eric B., and Don R. Roberts, Jr.

Funeral services will be held at the First Methodist church Tuesday afternoon 
at 4 o’clock, with the Rev. Leland Moore officiating, burial to be in Oak 
Grove cemetery.  The following will serve as pallbearers:  Active, Harry 
Parker, Vance Mitchell, Nat Nightingale, H.K. Lamb, H.P. McDonald and Carroll 
Quarterman; honorary, J.T. Hotch, T.M. Mrocskowski, T.S. Gilchrist, Judge D.W. 
Krauss, John F. Dye and H.F. du Bignon.  Arrangements are in charge of 
Mortician Edo Miller.
