SURNAMES: ROBERTS, ALEXANDER
Lavern ROBERTS, Son of Carl and Julia ROBERTS, was born in Tecumseh
township in 1868. When about 12 years old his parents removed to Tipton
where he lived for a number of years. In 1892 he was untied in marriage
to Miss Amy ALEXANDER.
He has been superintendent of the stock department in a large brass
supply house in Chicago for the last twenty years. He was an accomplished
musician and for a number of years has been connected with the orchestra
of the Englewood Congregational church.
A week ago he was stricken with tonsilitis which later developed into
malignant diptheria from which he died Friday night. The remains were
brought to Tecumseh, Sunday for burial, Rev. B.R. Weld officiating
at the grave.
This was the fourth tragic death in his family. Hismother was the
victim of a run-away accident some 24 years ago. His sister was impaled
on a pitchfork which she was carrying down stairs in a barn. His father
died of heart failure while on the train. Surely "in the midst
of life we are in death."
