ROBERSON, SARAH S.
(29 Mar 1917, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
DEATH OF MRS. B. F. ROBERSON
Mrs. B. F. Roberson died Monday morning at the home of her daughter Mrs.
A. W. Mann, at Burroak, Kan., where she has been since the death of her
husband six weeks ago, having accompanied his remains to that place for
burial.  She had remained to visit in the old home, and wrote last week
that she had been having some work done in the cemetery, and had a
monument erected for Mr. Roberson, also had her name engraved on it to
have ready when she passed away.  She took sick last Friday with
pneumonia.  Her son, J. J. "Bud" Roberson and daughter, Mrs. E. S.
Epperson, left Monday to attend the funeral.  They truly have the sympathy
of all in their double sorrow.
Death came about four weeks ago to a brother of Mrs. J. J. Roberson, at
Burroak.  Two weeks before she had been there, and her family had a
reunion.  Her brother left soon after for the west, and took pneumonia.
The mother of Mrs. E. S. Eggleson died a short time ago, and it seems the
two families have indeed had their share of sorrow.
