   ALFRED ROBERTS, son of Oliver and Sophia Roberts, was born in Lisbon 1 July
1838. When five years of age he was bereaved of his father, and his mother with
five small children moved to S. W. Bend. When he was eighteen years old the care
of the family devolved on him. He learned the trade of a shoe-maker. In Sept.
1861 he entered the Union army. Poor health prevented much active service. Most
of his battles were fought with sympathizers with the Rebellion at S. W. Bend.
After the war he moved to Portland and was engaged in business-there for the
next twenty years as a retail and wholesale shoe-dealer. He dealt also in real
estate and acted as broker in exchange of bonds, mortgages and other securities.
In the business of a broker he has continued in his partial retirement at Old
Orchard. For the last five years he has lived at Los Angeles, Cal., where he has
fifty acres used in the cultivation of fruit. He has always been an ardent
adherent of the Republican party.
