The Lake Odessa Wave, February 17, 1927


For several years Mr. Frank Roberts has been a resident of Lake Odessa and his 
genial smile made friends with all he came in contact with.  Until his health 
failed he looked after his own business affairs with a clear mind and sound 
judgement.  He had a strong personality and won the respect of all who knew 
him.  He, with many others, elderly people, who have passed on this winter, 
will be most kindly remembered by friends and sorely missed by each family.

Daniel F. Roberts was born in the town of Naples, Ontario County, New York, 
February 10, 1839, and died February 11, 1927, age 88 years and one day.  In 
1859 he came to Michigan and in December 7, 1861, he was united in marriage to 
Cynthia S. Jordan.  To this union were born six children, three sons and three 
daughters, namely: Argie Shellenbarger, Debbie J. Russel, deceased, Anson, J. 
Roberts, Rosa M. Enz, deceased, Byron Roberts, deceased, and George D. 
Roberts, all live in or near Lake Odessa.  The mother departed this life on 
December 3, 1914, and in February 1916 he was again married to Emily Cole who 
died May 22, 1925.

Besides the children he is survived by nine grandchildren, 18 great-
grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren and a large circle of 
friends.  He was a kind and loving father and will be greatly missed by all 
who knew him.

The funeral was largely attended at the Calvary United Brethren church Sunday 
afternoon.  Rev. M. A. Dawson preached a most appropriate sermon.  The music 
was by Mrs. Thos. Johnson and Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Goodemoot.  The pall bearers 
were six great-grandsons: Charles Shellenbarger, Dale, Hale, Voight, Devillo 
and Harold McDiarmid.  Burial was at Lake Side cemetery.

Those from away to attend the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Kauffman of 
Detroit, Mr. and Mrs. Colonel McDiarmid, son Niles and daughter Angeline, Dan 
Roberts and family, Stirling Ostroth and family of Maple Grove, Mrs. Alice 
Roberts, son Harry and wife, Charles Shellenbarger and family of Hastings and 
Chas. Grozinger, Frank Hilbert, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Neithammer of Woodland.
