Ida Maxine Roberts, longtime Hominy area resident, passed away Monday, 
July 10, 2002 at the Cleveland Manor Nursing Home at the age of eighty-
five years, ten months and twenty-three days.

Maxine was born July 17, 1916 in Tulsa.  She was the daughter of Rodman 
and Eva Clemishire.  Maxine was raised in the Hominy area and attended 
school there.  She was married to John Rollan "Burhead" Roberts at the 
First Methodist Church in Cleveland on Aug. 4, 1937.

The couple made their initial home in the Tulsa area as John worked for 
Rainbow Bread and McDonald Douglas.  They had two children, John Rollan 
Roberts, Jr., and Shirley Jean.  The couple moved to Hominy in 1945 when 
John began working for Clemishire Drilling.

preceded her in death on June 2, 1998.

Maxine was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Hominy.  She 
resided in the Cleveland Baptist Retirement Village for a time after her 
husband's death.  For health reasons she later resided with her daughter 
and son-in-law and then at the Cleveland Manor Nursing Home.

and both children, John Rollan Roberts, Jr. and Shirley Jean Byers.  
Maxine is survived by her son-in-law, Jim Byers, Cleveland; a granddaughter
