Obituary in Cuthber Appeal 9 Mar 1883
"Mr John Roe, one of the first settlers of Cuthbert, died near Sparta,
in Hancock county, on Sunday last, and his remains were brought to
Cuthbert and deposited by the side of his two wives and two sons, in the
Western cemetery.  Mr. Roe was 82 years old and at one time owned nearly
all the land upon which Cuthbert now stands.  He built the building on
College street torn away by Mr. Pulaski for the erection of his present
residence, and occupied it for a number of years.  He afterwards
returned to Hancock county and spent the remainder of his days in the
same house in which he was born.  He was highly esteemed by all who knew
him." [not my family]
