Roberts, James C., M. D., well-known and successful physician of New Roads, 
Pointe Coupée parish, La., was born in East Feliciana parish, La., Nov. 6, 1885; 
son of Dr. A. J. and A. D. (Lewis) Roberts, the former of whom is at this time, 
and has long been a practicing physician in East Feliciana parish.  The paternal 
grandfather, R. T. Roberts, was a native of South Carolina, whence he moved to 
Clinton, East Feliciana parish, La., where he lived during the remainder of his 
life.  James C. Roberts was the first of 4 children born to his parents.  
He received his earlier education in the public schools of the locality in which 
he was born, later becoming a student at Louisiana state university.  When his 
academic education had been completed, he entered the medical department of 
Tulane university, from which institution he graduated with the degree of M. D. 
in the class of 1912, after having served 2 years as interne in the New Orleans 
Charity hospital.  May 3, 1913, he opened his offices at New Roads, and has since 
been engaged in the practice of medicine in that locality, and with gratifying 
results.  Dr. Roberts is a member of the Louisiana State Medical society and of Kappa 
Psi fraternity.  At this time the doctor is not married.  He enjoys an extensive 
acquaintance, is attracting attention in his profession, and by conscientious attention 
to its duties is rapidly building up a large medical practice.
