Obituary of Albert Royden Roles as written on page 10 of "The Camilla 
Enterprise" date 23 May 1958.  Camilla, Georgia.  
Albert Royden Roles, 68 year old prominent Camilla plumbing contractor, died of 
a heart attack shortly after noon Friday, May 16th, at Mitchell County Hospital 
where he had been a patient for several weeks undergoing treatment for a heart 
ailment.  It had been believed that he was getting along satisfactorily and his 
death came unexpectedly with only his wife at his side just before he died.  
Graveside rites were conducted Saturday afternoon at 5:00 o'clock in Oakview 
Cemetery with the Rev. Louis M. Spivey, pastor of Camilla Methodist Church, 
officiating.  The active pallbearers were Dr. Tom Cobb, Jim Williford, Byron 
Baggs Jr., Charles Taylor Jr., Murray Simmons, Cecil Thomas, Roland Richards 
and M. Cameron Head.  The honorary pallbearers were Emory L. Butler, J. C. 
Robinson Sr., Bob Taylor, Charles Taylor Sr., James Gordon Davis, William

Harry Collins, W. F. Cullens, T. B. Twitty Jr. and a former neighbor, Rastus 
Mathews, now of Sylvester, and business friends, Arthur Lee and Collins Knight, 
both of Albany.  Bramlett Funeral Home of Camilla was in charge of funeral 
arrangements.  Son of the late Charles Albert and Anna Burnett Roles, Mr. Roles 
was born April 3, 1890, in Camilla where he spent his entire life.  As a young 
man just starting out he was connected for a short while with the R. C. Eaton 
Company of Albany and worked locally for them but soon afterward went into 
business on his own.  He held the plumbing contract on many of the major 
buildings in Camilla and over the county, the new housing projects being 
completed now in Camilla among his last major contracts.  On December 31, 1916, 
he was married to Mrs. Edna Brimberry Einstein.  In September of the following 
year he went overseas to serve in World War I with the US Army Engineers.  The 
war was over by November but he remained in France until he returned in May, 
1919, spending his time after the war serving as an engineer on the building of 
the debarkation camp at Brest, France.  He was a charter member of Mitchell 
County Post No. 141 of American Legion.  He was a Mason and a trustee of the 
Camilla Methodist Church.  A brother, Dr. Charles Leon Roles, long time local 
physician, died on February 23rd of this year, just three months ago.  
Survivors include his wife; three daughters, Mrs. Marvin Crosson and Mrs. R. D. 
Covington, both of Camilla, and Mrs. Crawford Pilcher, of Warrenton, who is a 
step-daughter; six grandchildren, James Albert (Herky) Crosson, Charles Pierce 
Crosson, Wayne Durand Covington, Melinda Covington, all of Camilla, and
