The Ionia Daily Sentinel-Standard, Wednesday, November 19, 1941
Mrs. Elnora Roberts, wife of Walter D. Roberts who died just two weeks ago, 
was found dead at her home on Division street Wednesday morning at about 7:30 
a.m.  Coroner Harry Myers who investigated after neighbors reported that her 
lights were still burning early Wednesday morning, attributed her death to a 
heart attack and stated that she had been dead between 6 and 8 hours.  
Apparently in perfect health Tuesday afternoon, she had been downtown to 
settle several items for her husband’s estate and had accompanied Mr. Myers to 
the cemetery lot to look it over.  After arriving home she was taken ill at 
about 6:30 p.m. and neighbors called a local physician for her.  She appeared 
to get better at that time.  When Mrs. Arna Faulkner, night telephone 
operator, returned to her home on Division street early Wednesday morning, she 
noticed the lights were on and stopped to see if Mrs. Roberts was all right.  
She found the doors locked and through the window could see her lying on the 
davenport.  Becoming alarmed Mrs. Faulkner called Sheriff Leslie Murphy and 
Coroner Myers who entered the home and found Mrs. Roberts dead.

Mrs. Roberts was 72 years old and was born in Montcalm county, the daughter of 
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dickinson.  Mr. and Mrs. Roberts had lived at the home on 
Division street for the past 32 years.  He died November 3 of this year 
following a long period of ill health.  Since that time Mrs. Roberts had made 
her home alone.

Only survivors are 18 nieces and nephews.  Funeral services will be conducted 
Friday at 2 p.m. from the Myers funeral home with interment at Highland Park 
cemetery.
